Thankfully they both have actually slept well throughout all this. We have had some fussy times (Malynn and Jack are both actually pretty darn tough when they don't feel well), and we've had noses that run like faucets some days, but the worst has been the diarrhea.

RSV in the House
Well, we got it, the nasty RSV. It's a virus that hits kids, especially infants, hard. The hallmark symptoms are cough and wheezing. Jack picked it up first and seems to be totally over it. He developed a double ear infection along the way and seems to be almost all better from that, too. Malynn came down with the virus about 2-3 days behind Jack. She's still sick but on the upswing.

I didn't know what baby diarrhea would be like, since their poops are pretty soft all the time anyways. Turns out it's super watery. I thought no poop could be harder to clean up than newborn, breast milk fed baby poop. I was wrong. For about 10-12 days straight we've been going through diapers, wipes, and diaper cream like crazy! I've been changing diapers about 3 times as often throughout the day, and remember this is happening with two babies. This guy has definitely been earning his keep lately.
