hi girls. sorry ive been offline for a while. just had a lazy tired kind of week.

V didn't get admitted to hospital, just sent home after an hour or two of observation.

It has been about 10 days since he first got ill and now he is starting to get a lot better. For a while I was worried (the day he was at the DRs) because he was not eating/drinking well at all. But he is taking full bottles again now and quite chirpy. Still a bit coughy/wheezy but overall a huge improvement.

I myself am nearly back to normal, sore throat has finally left me and I just have a cough and slightly runny nose to fight off now.

today V went to my GP. He has had the lump in his butt for like 3 weeks, and 2 separate doctors had told me they had 'no idea' what it was. Anyway this morning it was soooooooooooo red and sore looking I decided enough is enough and then it sort of started oozing which is when I confirmed it was an abscess.

At the GP he had to get it drained, which meant me holding him down and holding his legs while the dr jabbed a thing that looks like a razor blade straight into the centre of it to pop it (and all y'all thought bubs needles was bad). Poor lil man screamed so bad and I felt awful for him, but I'm a toughy and certainly not the crying kind or the passing out kind (honestly it was pretty vomit worthy for anyone who doesnt have my iron stomach). I bet some of you guys are feeling sick right now.. oops!

Anyway, it went down a tonne and now he just has to have antibiotics for a while and a follow up to check the wound next week. He also gets his needles that day. Lucky boy. lol.

his dadHe also went to his dads today. The first time I left him there and came home (so was a full hour away from him). I soooooooooo enjoyed the break after a long week/two with sick clingy whingy bubba when feeling like **** myself..

I had the most wonderful relaxing bath (my first since pre-parenthood). It was nice to be able to stay in there and know GUARANTEED that he wasn't going to distract me!!

workI get my last baby bonus payment next fortnight. Which means money will be tight the week after unless I basically get a job immediately.
Fingers crossed I get one. I ran into an old work colleague yesterday who enquired if I was going to come back there (my 2nd last place of employment) and I said I would like to and she said great ill tell the boss.. they are apparently short staffed..

I have to drive all the way to Geelong tomorrow just for my CPR update. Once that is done the resumes will be finalized and printed and I'll get my butt into gear.

anyhoo. i'll come back tomorrow for personals.
