Sickness makes the heart grow fonder....

Okay....maybe not.

But it definitely lets you cuddle with your kiddos more!

Connor has bad congestion, a cough, and is just all-around miserable. It's terrible for the little fella. I noticed though, last night when he woke up in the night from all of the congestion and we were snuggling in bed (which we hardly EvEr do!) , how nice it was just to feel his little blonde head on my shoulder with his little sniffles and to hear his little raspy voice say "mama" over and over again.

Connor is such a sweet boy, but as he gets older I've noticed that cuddling just isn't the most favorite thing to do anymore. I then settled back into bed and held on even just a little bit tighter.

I was so tired..We have been trying to get moved in and settled in my parent's house before we head to Kansas next week. Nevertheless, comforting a sick baby, as all of you mama's know, never gets overlooked. Somehow all of your weariness (maybe not ALL ;) gets pushed aside while you comfort your "eedle" one.

Today he's just walked around and played, but we've gotten in a lot more snuggle time because of his feeling puny. I wish I could just hold onto these memories and stick them in a bottle,  never to be forgotten, as my little guy grows up.

Even though it maybe means sleepless nights, a whiny baby, and maybe less time for getting things done around the house---I'll definitely take the extra time for snuggling and sweet kisses...
