Day 629. Last night none of the kids needed milk - that's rare. I went to bed twenty minutes after midnight, and we got up just after 8 am. Sammy was still sleeping. Tammy and Emmy had taken their pj's off, and Emmy also his diaper, throwing it into Sammy's bed.

Day 628. I wished I could say I had a great birthday, but it was just a day like any other, even more difficult than most because all three kids have runny noses now, some cough, and so they were rather cranky. The highlight was definitely my brother and nephews coming to visit with us outside our apartment for a few minutes. I see them way too rarely.

Last night it was nearly 1 am again before I made it to bed. Sammy has been wanting milk again more nights than before. This morning we got up just before 8:30. We always hear them from 7 am or so onwards, but I finally got up, when Emmy's crying became more insistent, and it was later than usual.
