A good week...

Both Maddy and Hannah are having a great week so far. Monday night Hannah started acting like she was getting a cold so it was a long night of her coughing from drainage and us getting up to make sure she was ok. She didn’t have any issues yesterday though so if it’s a cold, it appears to be minor. With all the stuff blowing around in the air here it may just be allergies. Regardless, we decided to raise her crib mattress at one end to elevate her a little. That actually appears to have accomplished two goals. Hannah is a mover so we put her down in the middle of her crib and by the time she wakes up the next time she is all the way at the end of the crib with her nose pushed up against the railing. We’ve already had to remove her bumper because we were afraid she would suffocate herself with her nose up against all the time. So, raising the crib mattress actually kept her from being able to “scoot” to the corner which may have in turn allowed her to sleep all night last night without waking up! In addition, she didn’t cough all night. She went to bed at 8:30pm and I had to wake her up at 7:20am to leave for school.

Maddy is still on cloud nine from her dance recital last week. She keeps showing us her dance moves whenever she gets the chance. It’s a pretty quiet week for her at school except for Friday. Maddy is participating in the St.Jude Trike-A-Thon in the school parking lot. Should be entertaining to see with all those little kids “riding” around in circles. We haven’t even told her about it yet because we knew it would be non-stop questions until Friday. We will save that news for Thursday night in an effort to give her a reason to go to bed.

We had a pretty bad storm here last night around 12:15am that woke everyone in the house except the girls. Lots of the rain, thunder, lightning and about 15 minutes of hail between a quarter and golf ball size. I thought the windows would break any minute but Maddy and Hannah both snored their way through the storm. I will never understand how a baby wakes up when the car stops moving but can sleep through thunder that shakes the house!

Hope everyone is having a great week!
