Long, Long Nights

The past few weeks have been very tiring for Mommy and Daddy. Jillian has not been sleeping very well at all. She fights going to bed, as usual, but now she is waking up at all times throughout the night. And once she's up, there's lots of crying. We've found that one of the things that wakes her up is the congestion she has in her sinuses. Jillian seems to breathe OK during the daytime, but once she's been asleep for awhile, things start to plug up ... and when she can't breathe through her nose, that's when she wakes up. If we prop her up a little, then she'll clear up and go into a deep sleep again ... We're not entirely sure what is causing this, whether it's a mild cold that's hanging on, or teething symptoms (though no teeth have pushed through for awhile), or maybe allergies? Whatever it is, we hope it's a phase that passes soon.
