Hey girls!

Moose: So wonderful to hear from you! Glad to hear you're going well, Sammy sounds like she's keeping you busy! It's a busy, busy age isn't it! Oliver is the same - he's always getting into something. I get tired just watching him, lol. I can totally relate about Sammy being clingy to you. Oliver is quite clingy to me, which can be nice at times cause they show you how much they love you, but at the same time makes life hard. I had visitors today, and Oliver would cry whenever I left the room, even though it's his own house!
That's so, so exciting about Canada, I bet you can't wait! I hope Sammy handles the big trip okay.
With my weight loss, I've just changed my lifestyle - I try to exercise every day, and I have stopped eating junk food (for the most part). It was hard at first, but now it's easy. I still have heaps of weight I'd like to lose before ttc#2 though.

Dansta: Wow, look at you - almost full term (37 weeks). That's amazing! That's good that you're prepared if you go over again... going over sucks! But at least if you're ready for it you might feel better about it. Hope you're feeling well

Peach: What have you been up to? How is Winter?

AFM: Well, my last week has sucked . Last Saturday morning Oliver had a fever come on really suddenly. He spent all of Saturday either crying or sleeping lying on top of me or DH with a fever of around 38.5. The panadol was only doing so much. Sunday was much the same, mildly better, but still a fever. He wouldn't sleep anywhere but lying on me or DH, and ended up sleeping in bed with us. Monday morning first thing I booked an appointment as he still had a fever. Went in at midday. The doctor looked in Oliver's left ear, then his right - and said he had a mild middle ear infection. Got a script for antibiotics. Oliver was still pretty miserable. Panadol wasn't doing anything, so DH went out and got some infant's Dimetapp... and OMG that stuff is magic. We gave it to Oliver Monday night, and within 10 minutes he was basically his usual self! The antibiotics are a nightmare to give Oliver - he hates it, and screams whenever we give them to him, and we have to hold and restrain him while we do it It's taking a long time for Oliver to bounce back. Even today, almost a week since it started he isn't quite himself. He's just whingey and extra clingy, but at least he's back on his food - he went about 4 days of eating almost nothing. Thank goodness I'm still b/f. In amongst all this I think he's been teething as well (eye teeth).
Oliver is almost right again though. He's eating, sleeping in his cot again (and sleeping fairly well), and we're slowly getting more smiles out of him.

I probably have more to write, but I'm exhausted, so will be back another time. Nice to hear from you all .
