    Jazz still has a cough from when she had bronchilitis a few months ago. She hasn't gotten over it really. Perhaps I should take her to the doctor again. She is still very rattly when she breathes. Surely by now she can have something. Doc wouldn't give anything last time because she was too young. I think she was 4 months then.

    We haven't turned Caitlin around yet, but she isn't 8 kg's anyway. Also we are going to the USA for Christmas and the road rules over there are they have to be rear facing until they are 12 months so we don't want to turn her around here and then have her crack it over there when she is rear facing again. I just hope that she continues to fit properly in her seat facing backwards until we get home.

    SJ - Have fun at your course. Hopefully you wont miss MJ too much and if you are you could always go for a drive one night to see her!

    Prama - Hope you are feeling a bit better. Why don't you do a website for Lakshman? I did one for Caitlin and it has a blog so I have to keep updating it for her and it certainly keeps me busy! If you want to check it out the address is - Caitlin Grace Evans

    Danni - They can't give anything for Bronchiolotis as it is a virus. Caitlin still has a rattle and an occasional cough from when she had it also. This is a link to the info sheet that the hospital gave me - Kids health info for parents

    Afternoon girls,

    I called daycare and DJ is doing fine and isn't wheezy anymore and has been really happy. Still having long sleeps because the ventilator makes him tired, but that is good he needs good rest. So, yeah I think I was just sinking into motherhood worrying.... I am still sleeping him with me at night, gives me company while Doni is away anyway. My mum is coming over tonight for a few hours to give him some cuddles. It will be a nice break for me. Luckily I have tomorrow off from work so I can just rest.

    Will do personals tonight, leaving work now.

I cant remember the last time i did!! Just think of the big smile and cuddles and kisses that will await you from MJ!!

    Thanks for the link. I have heard from some that they can't give anything for bronchiolotis but then others say they can. I'm confused.

    Matt's gonna take her to the doctor on Friday anyway just for some more advice.

    I'm so looking forward to tonight. I'm going out for dinner with old school friends, most of whom I haven't seen for about 8 years.

    Well although i dont want to be apart for MJ much, i am really looking forward to a full nighst sleep, she has been waking 2hrly for the past few nights, she fall straight back to sleep if we pick her up, so im not up for ages, but its the waking and not having a long stretch of sleep that takes its toll... Im going to take ear plugs as i cant wear them at home and hopefully sleep straight through.

    i need to be up at 6.30am in the morning, and i will have to express over night so i think i will be fairly tired tomorrow... just need to finish getting my stuff organised and then i will be set.
    Cant wait for Saturday night when i get to cuddle my baby again, tomorrow morning will be hard saying goodbye

    Hope everyone else is doing well
    xoxo

    OMG I am in sooooo much pain and I am talking about aunt flow type pain and it hurts sooooo much almost borderline labour pains!!!!!! crikies. I just started taking a new contraceptive pill last night and now this!!!! I wonder if that was from taking it or if I just have a bad spurt of pains..... I had two nurofens this morning and they did nothing so just got two more from one of the girls from work. The only thing that normally fixes it is CHOCOLATE!!!! so if all else fails I will just grab a bar kehehee

    Otherwise I am pretty good, getting much better and so is DJ. My cough has subsided heaps now. DJ still has his cough, so hopefully he is 100% by the weekend. Missing Doni though, still another 5 more sleeps to go....... arghhh can't wait to have him home Think I will cook him something extra special on Tuesday night

    Prama - how you coping with Steve away? When does he get back?

    SJ - enjoy the extra sleep You will be feeling nice and rested by the time you see MJ again How is the course going?

    Danni - my doctor just gave DJ a ventilator with mask and spacer for his breathing. He wasn't very bad though with his bronchilitis, only mild. Maybe ask your doctor about that.

    Well I better get back to work. Just wanted to take my mind off the pain....

Poopy woke up at 10.30pm just as i was falling asleep, then 1.30am ish. then 2.30, and didnt fall asleep till 4.30am.. and then decided to wake up at 6.30am.. and thot i'd nap this afternoon when he went to sleep, but each time as was dozing off, he'd wake up. im so exhausted. it's not so bad since he goes to bed at 7, but the nights are so hard.
    but looking forward to steve coming back on sunday afternoon
