Brush, brush, brush

Mama was en route the whole afternoon for getting everything for christmas. When I came home, the babies were ready for the bed, daddy was ready to go to the cinema.

... so Max and Lina just had to clean their teeth and go to bed ;-)

Babies you are sweetness!

Love,

Mama

3rd Advent

Love our cosy sundays celebrating Advent and waiting for the Christmas Eve. We don´t have visitors and we are not going out on sundays. It´s our family day and we love it.
Today I did all the cooking and preparing in the morning so we could spend time the rest of the day.

Lina sharing her cookie with Max

Daddy and Max love to play with the "Mad Machine" and letting her jump and race through our living room. The giggles the children are making then are priceless.  They are even building ramps to let the car jump as far as possible. 

Cannot exactly say who loves this game more... daddy or Max!?

Another wonderful day!

Love,

Mama

Pickles

I think it´s funny but both my children love those cucumbers right from beginning. They simply made a funny face when I gave it to them the first time but liked them anyway. So it´s an integral part when we a are having snack.

Little girl, you are so funny... watching you brightens up my day and makes me happy in any way!
I love you so very much!

3 years and 1 month

My darling still has bad marks all over his beautiful face. My heart aches when I look at him because he told me that it still hurts. He is disabled when eating because he can hardly open his mouth. But especially now he is showing me how mature and tolerant he is. At the beginning of the disease he hardly let me clean and supply his blisters and he refused taking the painkillers. He never ever did this but started to because Lina was totally refusing everything too.

Fortunately he quickly recognized that my treatment was helping and improved his suffering. So now... I can clean his face, put on ointment, give him painkillers and vitamins without making any trouble at all. My sweet boy, you are remarkable My treasure, my love!

Max, you are my precious boy, my beloved son! 

I love you with every beat of my heart, 

every moment in my life!

If I didn´t know that I annoy you 

I would tell you that I love you and 

kiss you all day and night long!

On the mend

Lina is much better today... just a few leftovers from the weird rash and the nasty blisters... such a bad disease!

 

Unfortunately Max  has much more traces left in his face... must have been so very painful these blisters... I´m so thankful they are better and dry today!

I really hope we all can visit the christmassy town soon... maybe on sunday?

I´m happy about your recovery,

love you so,

Mama

Peekaboo

The grandparents join us quite a lot... and even more today... to give me support with my sick darlings. Max and Lina still are not feeling very well and are whining and demanding more than usual. So it is really helpful to have somebody here who is helping to care for them... and of course... omi and opi are always there! I´m grateful for this... more than words can say!

In the evening, while I was busy, they all were playing peekaboo together. Watching them is so much fun! Max is covering his head with a cloth and waiting in front of the tv to be called. Lina is standing like a statue and observing the person who is hiding. 

When Max is asked to go for search... Lina loves to show him where to look for! At the moment he is laughing about this... but I´m sure there will come up times when he is going to be annoyed! To be a big brother isn´t always easy though! Nevertheless... these two are cheeky together!

Still hoping for recovery...

Love,

Mama

12-12-12 and still sick

Actually I wanted to post something special today... something special because of this awesome date. I thought we could do a nice trip or just being out and about as a family... maybe on the Advent market.

In the morning I had a little hope that Max and Lina were getting better... although the night was horrible again. But during the day everything became worse.

So I was at home with my two sick babies and was caring for them. Fortunately omi was with us to be biggest support and greatest helper. Our day was quite hard and the little ones were really poor... having fever, earache and Miss L. a bad rash in addition. So my only way out today was the way to the pharmacy.

Still hoping for soon relief...

Love you so my poor babies with all my aching heart,

Mama

Even more sick

Babygirl had one of her worst nights ever. She has high fever, lots of pain and is teething badly. Comforting her during the night just worked with nursing... and even this was hard work! 
Lina stopped again and again, to suddenly start crying desperately. I felt so so sorry for her. 
But it was difficult to stand for us as well... 

Some times I didn´t exactly know if I should go over to her room and shout or cry with her and hold her tight... of course... I held her close and kissed her hot head and face a million times!

The day was a wee bit better... but whining and being sick went on. My girl wasn´t really in the mood for playing or being on her own. So I had her in the carrier for a while... made christmas cookies together with omi and tried to keep her calm. 

Then... after refusing her nap... she suddenly fell asleep...

I´m never ever more thankful for our perfect breastfeeding relationship than in situations like this... when my baby is not feeling well, is not willing to eat or drink anything except milk and demanding for extra cuddles to calm down with nursing! How precious are these boobs!?

In the afternoon I went out for an hour... with a real bad feeling... and when I returned my sweet boy had fallen asleep on the sofa. He played sleeping with opi... bahaha... and did not get up any more. So I thought about him to be ill too... and he was... high fever like his sister!

Oh I hope my babies are feeling better tomorrow... my heart is so sad!

Love you to the moon and back my babies,

Mama
