Yep, you read the title right. Its been a rough week in the Nesbitt household. Brianna went to the doctor Tuesday because she just wasn't able to get rid of this nasal congestion she's had for the last 2 weeks. She was starting to wake up at night crying, not wanting to lay her head to the side and I thought for sure it was an ear infection. Well, thankfully, her ears were "gorgeous" as Dr. David put it. But, he did prescribe an antibiotic to treat her for a minor sinus infection. So, that was the easy part. Then, while I was in Minneapolis Thursday, she started running a low grade fever at daycare, which meant Justin had to leave work to get her. She ran a temp all evening Thursday night, which wasn't fun for any of us. To top it off, she's started waking up at 1:00 am every morning for the last 4 nights. Its like an alarm clock goes off in her head and she wakes up screaming. On two occasions, the only thing that stopped the screaming, other than feeding her, was to let her sit up and play. That's all she wanted so for two hours, we all three sat on the living room floor. Justin and I tried to keep each other awake and she played happily till, at 3 am, we finally put her back in her crib, where she cried for all of a minute and was fast asleep. We neither one have any idea where our easy sleeper went this week, but we sure hope she comes back soon.
Needless to say, we're all exhausted. I'm hoping this is all related to teething since her gums are starting to bother her again. Maybe this time, those little buggers will actually break through and she'll feel better. In the mean time, I'm back to going to bed early and napping whenever possible because I'm not getting much sleep at night. Thankfully, it only took an 1.5 hours last night to get her settled back asleep so maybe tonight will be better. Despite all the not sleeping drama, she's still a very happy baby during the day and wants to help mama do everything, including balance the checkbook. I think its just that she wants to see how much money's left so she can go shopping!
I Help Mama!
Uh Oh ... error message ... I didn't do it!
Love you all,

Poor thing!! (all of you) I sure hope she starts feeling better soon! (and you guys start to get some sleep again!) Feel better BB!!
hugs and kisses!
I feel for you! Carter has never been an easy sleeper... so I know all about the sleep deprivation.
I hope Brianna is feeling better! Two weeks of being sick does not sound fun. Carter woke up with the crud on Saturday. He went to the pedi yesterday, but since he has no fever, they said to let it run its course. I hope he's not battling it for two weeks like Brianna.
Great pictures :)
