Will ya look at those eyelashes?

Pete has had some trouble with sleep lately. Saturday night/Sunday morning, he got croup... probably from Claire, who'd had it a little over a week prior to this weekend. That night, he slept with us in the bed most of the time, and I nursed him to sleep anytime he woke up coughing his little head off. But we woke at 5:30 and couldn't get back to sleep that way, so then he sat in his bouncy seat in the family room while I slept on the couch out there.

Sunday night/Monday morning, we slept in his bouncy seat in the crib. That seemed to work until around 4, and then he moved into the bed with us again. Joe stayed home with him Monday, during which he alternately slept in the swing, the bouncy seat, or Joe's arms.

Monday night, he slept in the swing or my arms part of the night, but did get some time on his back. Last night, he was in the swing until 9ish, then on his back in the crib until 2 (with a brief nursing break in the middle there), and then he was nursing/in my arms until my alarm went off at 5:30.

Poor guy. The congestion is terrible, and I'm not sure when it's going to pass, but all we can do is keep him upright until it works its way through... and then battle getting him back to sleeping in the crib regularly.
