mustangsachy: congrats on the purchase! How exciting! No period here yet, but not DTD either ... should get on to that soon! Also, we LOVE Infant's Friend - it has been such a lifesaver for us!

DS has his first set of immunisations the other day. He vomited everywhere after the oral one. I didn't have my nappy bag with me (I just had DS and my car keys) so when he spewed it went everywhere and I had nothing to clean it up with (I though it would be a quick in and out job and didn't expect spewing to occur). The lady who was giving him his needles looked at me like I was the worst mother in the world when I said that his nappy bag was in the car. She actually said 'Well, I don't have anything. Why didn't you bring anything in to clean him up with?'. Well, I thought, I didn't know he would spew everywhere, did I, you silly old bag. At this point, I was wishing he had spewed on her as well as all over me. Anyway - things you learn. We will be better prepared next time.

The immunisation saga doesn't finish there though. DS was fine for the rest of the day (we even met up with jitterbug and saw a movie!), however around 5pm, he started getting really cranky and squealing (very unusual for him) and his temp went was higher than usual (37.4) and he felt hot. I first called my MIL who said some baby panadol might help. I called DH to pick up some on the way home. DS's temp went up again so I called 13HEALTH who suggested going to see a GP (at 6pm at night, in the middle of Brisbane - luckily there are 2 surgeries that are open til 7pm), so I called the GPs to see if they had any appointments. The first one said that there were no doctors present and the second one said to quickly take DS to the emergency room. Well, panic and crying set it. Called DH to hurry home (luckily he was only a couple of blocks away) and we went to the Children's Emergency at the Mater. The staff there were fantastic. After hours there, they figured that the temp was most likely from the immunisations. DS's temp has started to go down so we were sent home. We went back the next day for a follow up check up and the dr was happy with DS. Having never done any of this before, it has been an exhausting couple of days, but we are glad that DS is all a-ok!

Hope everyone is doing well out there!
