Thanx Cassi and QB! All ok...just keep on keeping on!

Took toddler to DR and she said virus so have to wait it out....been going for ten weeks!!! Gave him a cough medicine last night and he slept alot better. Damn MIL again! She had it just b4 Soph was born and she was organised to look after Will when DH at hossy 4 labour etc. I suggested asking SIL instead as last thing needed was sick toddler but MIL insisted that DR said she wasn't contagious. Thought it was hard to believe at the time...but what do you say to DH - "you Mum is full of it"??? Anyway - toddler was sick as a dog for my return home from hossy!!! Fortunately Soph hasn't had it as badly (but maybe breastmilk herlping her).

Enough feeling sorry 4 myself....

We went out to park this morning for fresh air...and Will and Soph had nice time and were happy ...thank goodness!

Since Soph has been sick with this virus her long sleeps have gone out the window...but still getting between 4 and 6 hours so that's ok.

She has become so much more alert in the last day or so....grabbing dangling toys and kicking a dangling ball ...looking at herself in mirror...talking and big cheesy smiles...rolling onto her side...and started holding onto me and pulling my hair. She is enjoying her playmats now which is great and gives me a little break. Her gaze while she is breastfeeding has changed and its great!!! She really is a good girl! Her wind is more under control..she gets a little but generally with the infacol and infants friend given at night she is feeling so much happier.
