Hi all,

Well its been busy here since we got home. DS1 had the chicken pox and I have had an ear infection which still hasnt' cleared. Last week was lovely cause DH was home from work. He hasn't had time off since Christmas last year so it did him good to have a break to get refreshed. It would have been nice if he cooked a little more etc but he did lots of other stuff so I can't complain too loudly.

Went back to the Drs today cause my ear infection hasn't cleared and cause Blake's been miserable for the last few days. I thought it was more than the pox cause he was happier early last week. Lo and behold the boys got a nasty red throat. So poor little Blake's on ABs and I'm on more ABs. Hopefully well all get better quickly now.

DH's back at work today. So far so good. Both boys are actually in bed - well Blake's in bed and I threw Tyler in the cocoon for the pram. It seemed like a good idea at the time. I was sick of putting him into bed and him being unsettled so I put him in the cocoon and he hasn't made a noise! I don't understand the logic but I aint complaining.

As I said we went to the Drs. Blake was miserable and not being very helpful/obedient when asked to put his shoes on or get in the car etc. Anyway we all got in, I started the engine and I heard this splash. I though that can't be Blake cause he hasn't got a drink. It can't be Ty cause he can't have vomited that much surely. Well when I we got there, Ty's covered in vomit - his clothes, his capsule, his blanket - EVERYWHERE! No probs. I got extra blanket and outfit in the boot from when we went to the fete on Saturday. WRONG!! No outfit at all! Crap! OK, strip the bub to his nappy and singlet (which was damp but I had no other options) then put him in the Hug a Bub. Fortunately I'd planned to wear him so I'd put it on at home already. It worked at treat cause he was snuggly toasty warm, all wrapped up with Mummy.

Mental note: remember to check the nappy bag! Oh I forgot what it's like to have a newborn!
