Happy belated birthday to all the ones I have missed (Allegra, Kahlani, Aiden). I have meant to post more but the last week in Oz was crazy with seeing everyone who we didn't get to see the first 10 weeks (typical) and on top of that Wolf got tonsillitis and then Zara and Damien got it. (so maybe a good thing we didn't get to catch up, Teena - I would have felt horrible if Allegra had gotten it). The funny thing is that the doc said, that it's not contageious as it is a bacterial infection and unless you share drinks / body fluids, you don't pass it on (and even if you do share drinks the chance was slight). But Zara is so "grabby" and has had zips from Wolf's drinks and BOOM. Poor princess. She has not been well since and still has a monster diarrhea at the moment. When we saw the doc (who said it was'nt contageious) he said he had NEVER seen a case where 3 family members had tonsillitis. Oh well... seems that we are a family that shares a lot of drinks / body fluids... *blush* well.. I didn't get it and I certainly share a lot of fluids / drinks with my kids. Wet/sloppy kisses from my kids or goobered on left over food that they lovingly shove in my mouth (or I can't be bothered to take to the bin and eat), drinks, you name it and I didn't get it. While DH is so careful not to share anything with the kids and then when Wolf seemed to be over it he shared a milkshake with him at the cafe (yep, Teena, Jellyfish) and sure enough he got it 2 days later.
So sorry Teena for not popping by for Allegra's birthday, but like I had said before, it was pretty hectic and I spent the last 48 hours in Oz packing madly and cleaning up our place. DH's sister has now moved in / is housesitting, which is her first chance to move out of home. I think she is very happy at our place / having her own space.
ANyway... the first week back here in Switzerland has been a shocker with Zara having really awful diarrhea. Not sure if it's a bug, a side effect of the antibiotic or whatever but it's made her so sore, she is actually bleeding now. Poor thing. I will have to try to give her some more naked time - which is hard here in winter...
Mbear - congrats on the pregnancy. Yucky re. the morning sickness. Hope it will pass soon. DH and I are actually tossing up when to have no.3. Part of me thinks that it might not be too bad to have no.3 this year and the other part thinks that I should really try to lose those last 4-5 kgs and do a triathlon before falling pregnant again.
Kaydee - oh boy, I'd be mad! It's their only grandchild and they'd rather see a friend? Hmmm... their priorities seem a bit warped. Well,maybe they can go either in the early morning or in the late afternoon or something, depending on what your plans are?
Narelle - arrrg on MIL and your operation. I hate it when people think they can tell the whole world about your health problems. As if someone's cervical dysplasia is dinner conversation... but i've found the same thing. Unfortunately... but it seems to be my mom who blabs it on to anyone who will listen. I mean not only my dysplasia but also when Zara had the twisted foot my mom told the whole world that my daughter had a clubfoot (which she didn't) and since then I have had so many people ask "oh HOW is Zara" (in THAT tone... )arrrrrrrrrrrg... I think some people like the attention they get with that stuff...
Zara's birthday soon... not sure what we are doing. We will be at my mom's place on the day, so probably just a family do. Maybe my brother can come with his kids and that's already 4 kids that way (or 5 if their no.3 is born before then)
