Oh, one of the other ladies won with some blancmange (far out I have no idea how to spell that ) breasts. they were quite lifelike, or wobbly at least. The photograph er actually moved them to the back of the shot so you can just see them in teh corner on teh oven. he thought maybe they would be too breast=like for the editors. I actually made savoury muffins with olives on top as I'm trying to reduce my sugar intake.

Well, we achieved a really important parenting milestone last night - our first trip to the ED. We actually took Miri to the afterhours GP, but they couldn't get a proper oxygenisation level (or whatever) reading as her fingers were too small and didn't want to 'sign off' on the sick baby so sent us round to the ED. We did our spiel to the nurse and then teh GP at the AH clinic. then the triage nurse. then teh ED nurse. then the ED doctor... inthe end they decided she needed.......................paracetemol. how embarrassing. and by this point she'd finally be coaxed into haveing a feed (she'd hardly fed all day and had spewed up most of what she had taken) and fallen asleep. Well we explained about how she wouldnt' take medicine anyway and would just vomit everywhere so they suggested suppository. we thought that was a pretty cruel way to wake her so DH suggested maybe just stopping by a pharmacy on the way home and trying it later. they said ok. (DS was at my parent's place, in case you're wondering). so of course by this time there was only one pharamacy open and it didn't have the suppositories....
but after all that DD actually slept last night (she couldn't manage more than 20 minutes at a time on Tuesday night and not much better during the day) and she's eating and sleeping again today and hasn't spewed in over 24 hours. how nice.
And since being on teh antibiotics, DS has returned to his normal self. not his normal of recent weeks, but his nice normal self. We think he must have been sick for the past 6 weeks or so You think you're just getting the hang of parenting and then...

Enjoy your 4 days pixie
