A Long Night with Twins Who Caught a Cold
At the end of the year, our whole family caught a cold. It brought back memories of those nights from when they were around three months old.

The Night the Cold Began
Even after getting into bed, their breathing sounded uncomfortable.
Quietly, I thought to myself,
“This is going to be a long night.”
Twins Waking Up Again and Again
With their noses blocked, breathing was difficult.
When one twin started crying, the other would wake up too.
It was a night spent constantly holding and soothing one of them.
A Small Thing We Do at Home
On nights like this, we use a body pillow that also works as a nursing cushion,
placing it so their upper body is slightly elevated while they sleep.
Even this small adjustment seems to make breathing a little easier.
A Night That Felt a Little Easier
There was no dramatic change,
but it felt like they woke up a bit less often because of their stuffy noses.
That night brought back memories
of when they were around three months old.
