Ohh I remember that now; a high temp for a baby or 4 yr old is like a low grade fever for adults.

We brought our kids to the doctor’s office frequently when they were your kids’ ages.  Hope your 4yo gets better soon. 🙏🏽

Before we had kids, my wife could sleep 10-12 hours on the weekends regularly.  She had a tough time acclimating to little or broken sleep.  I could handle it better, but not by much.  For us, we got a bit more sleep as the kids got older but not nearly as much as before we had them.  One thing that helped my wife and I was a book the pediatrician recommended Healthy Sleep Habits, Happy Child.

our sleeping arrangement is that i put the 8mo to sleep and wife takes care of the 4yo. then we switch and she sleeps with her and i sleep close (different room) to the older.

it's pretty ok for us, wife handles sleep interruptions pretty well, i don't.

currently, however, 4yo is sick and wakes up (and me) randomly. losing sleep is not doing great things to me and i am writing this from the doctor's waiting room 😅

4y should be sleeping pretty well.
How many hours does your 8m old sleep before waking up to feed, etc?

Our second child didn’t sleep through the night until 14-16 mo old and even then it was sometimes 5-6 hrs and other times 10-11 hrs.

My kids are now 10y and 13y and they sleep pretty soundly although the 10 yr old still wants us to sleep with her in her bed. 😴
