Hi Girls,

Thanks for the support to you all!

Sherie: i gave her two doses of panadol yesterday. one in the morning and the other around 1.30am last night. nada. for the first time it had no impact. usually when i give it to her she goes to sleep for at least a couple of hours. so i guess it's back to square one on that one.
that the pain won't be too bad with AF. i know the anxiety that can come with that!

I'll take her down to the DRs tomorrow and have her checked out. I kept her at home last week, figuring that after the last cold (the one with the rash) that she needed time away from childcare to boost her immune, so am pretty bummed that we are back on the rollercoaster of lurgies so fast.
Also, i have to say that i am now tempted pull her out of this child care. i have my sneaking suspicions that they are not doing a great job. on thursday they 'forgot' to feed her lunch (it is written on a BIG whiteboard at the front of the room), and on friday they 'forgot' to give her her sleeps... i dont think they were counting on me checking out the day planner that they have to write on to keep track of the bubs. so am not very happy. DH is going in there today to ask what is going on as the regular carer has disappeared and for the last 3 weeks the bubs have had different ppl everyweek...

anyway enough from me!

Gracie: I agree with Sherie...his 'nutjob' comment would have opened up a whole can of whoop-ass!

Pregpan: If the librarian thing is to your liking i recommend looking into becoming a children's librarian. my mum did her bachelor of education (primary), realised that she didnt like the politics of school staff rooms so had a career change about 3 years ago. she now is the childrens lib for the townsville magnetic island region and is having a blast. (yes, she gets to go to magnetic island and read books to kids under palm trees...and gets paid to do it!). i have to say that i find the concept tempting myself! he he he!

Renee: dont you love it when drs get concerned then tell you to wait until the next appointment for more info??? just like a soap opera! I'm still holding out hope that it's a BF thing, i had intermittent spotting in the months leading up to my first AF after leila... it's just something boring and hormonal that will pass. also your system does take awhile to adjust to the pill and get on a cycle. so maybe it's a symptom of that. good that you are getting checked out though, peace of mind at least.
