    Hi

    Scarlet fever is a disease caused by infection with the group A Streptococcus bacteria (the same bacteria that causes strep throat).

    He has a red rash on his chest and shoulders. sore throat, sore ears, runny green nose, cough, fever, and headaches. It isn't nice. HE has been ahving amoxil 3 times a day, and isn't better yet, but is much better than 2 days ago.

    Thanks for the get better vibes JLeigh.

    Marni - A Brissy meeting would be great, we just have to find a spot that everyone can get to and isn't too far for us all...lol, thats hard, but if we choose a spot I'm sure it'll all be ok...

    Tina - John and I are still discussing if we should come out on Saturday - we know its going to be freezing and now Cooper is sick too, he isn't at daycare today, and I really need a break, Elijah didn't sleep very well last night either, I think he's teething at the same time, as his back gums are white and swollen

    We haven't even done the cake for Elijah yet, as he is still sick and hardly eating, he is drinking his bottles tho, which is good. We may do that on Sunday night, hoping everything is back to normal. I am struggling at the moment, with lack of sleep, and feeling very tired so don't have much energy to do my housework. So everything is suffering. And now my oven broke - so I'm not sure when that'll be fixed either

    Well I hope you're all having a better time with things than me right now, but I know it'll pass quickly...lol

    wow - SLeepy - you are doing it tough! Its no problem if you cant come out - your coming out in June anyway stay home and rest if you can...stupid oven!! hope you get a new one soon. I didnt have one for ages but I'd be lost without mine already lol

    brissie meeting - it doesnt matter to much where it is as for me it will be a 1.5hr - 2hr trip anyway...lets organise this thing!! maybe do a fb msg if all the brissie girls are on there - its a bit easier then one at a time writing on here, well, i think it is!

    Wow, very quiet in here still.

    Phoenix - Woo hoo on your BFP!!! It was your first month trying, right??!

    Trish - Is E sleeping in her cot yet?

    AFM - DS has started saying a lot more words. In fact, there's rarely a quiet moment anymore, lol! Sooooo cute though. And he's putting words together too, which is exciting.

    We're all geared up for Easter and have been making biscuits, pictures, play dough bunnies and eggs, coloured eggs, an easter bunny out of a plastic plate and napkins etc and easter baskets too! DS is at such a gorgeous age where he gets right into the spirit of stuff and he's VERY excited about the Easter Bunny coming and hiding some easter gifts for him while he's asleep tonight! Hope everyone else has a great Easter weekend.

    Hi again ladies!

    Thought I would pop back in and introduce myself properly and tell you all about my DD. I have read your latest posts and have found myself nodding my head as all the stories sound familiar!!

    Our lovely DD was born 1st May 2010 (Phoenix76 she was actually due 22 April!!), so is almost 2. She has been a very cruisy, happy little baby so far.... but I can feel the terrible twos knocking on the door!
    We have moved her from a cot into a toddler bed in the last couple of weeks, its so cute to see her see her climbing in and out and sleeping in her own little bed, she looks so grown up! Wake up time is so nice now, she used to just lay in bed and cry when she woke up but now she just gets herself out of bed and comes into our room and says 'found you'! So lovely!

    We are thinking of toilet training after she turns 2, she is showing some signs of being ready for toilet training - talks about doing wees and will sit on the toilet, but hasnt quite got the idea of what to do on there just yet! Wouldnt it be nice if they were just born toilet trained? Save a lot of money on nappies!!

    Well, thats us in a nutshell! We are trying for baby #2 this month so will keep you all posted!
