*groan* no sleep at all last night J has a cold and his breathing is terrible. Im having to hold him upright to let him get some sleep.

 

[littlekitten8]

Fraggles - hope he feels better soon and you get some sleep.
Kte - poor Chloe. Hope she feels better soon. Horrid bugs.


James is feeling much better. Went into his room this morning to be greeted by a massive grin and lots of hiya. Hes been in a pretty good mood this morning and was even stealing my breakfast lol.

I am not a very happy bunny. Went to the drs this morning cos I just can't seem to shake these pregnancy symptoms. Well thankfully its all the implant cos I'm not pregnant. However she was asking me about anything else thats been happening and as soon as I mentioned that I've been having pins and needles and pain in my eye again (had a bad run 3 years ago and ended up with an emergency admission to hospital with left sided weakness and they did MRI and Lumbar Puncture etc) she wanted to refer me back to the neurologist. When I had it all before they suspected MS cos of how it all started and although there were no changes on my MRI they said they couldn't rule it out completely and it was basically a case of waiting to see if I had a relapse. Well looks like we are heading for a relapse in which case I will receive a definite diagnosis of MS. Just when I thought life couldn't get any worse grrr

massive LK

Fraggles- poor J- I hope his cold clears quickly

 

[littlekitten8]

Thanks Kaites. I just wish my parents were back already. Its going to be months before I see the neurologist unless things get worse. So praying its months. I hope its not MS cos I don't know how I will cope on my own. I wouldn't be able to continue in my line of work and no idea what else I would do.

Gosh, LK, really hope it is months too, don't want it to get worse for you

Fraggles: Hope J's cold goes soon, must of been hard work propping him up all night

 

[littlekitten8]

Urgh and to top today off I've got to cancel my birthday party cos I've been put on an extra night due to staff sickness, and my assignment results should have been out today and have been delayed until Monday!

 

[Kte]

Aw LK, Just hope that's it for you! Will you be able to re-schedule party at all? Okay, sounds daft as its for your birthday but hopefully you can still celebrate. I ended up working mine last year and it sucked, just sneek some treats in during your shift to make it a bit better if you can

 

[craftymum]

Hi everyone, been a while since I've been in here. Can you all believe our babies are well into their 2nd year now!! Jacob's still not walking but has started knee walking which is the weirdest looking thing! I do worry but HV doesn't seem to think there's a problem, so I guess I should just enjoy it while I can, as I know once he's on his feet it will be hectic lol

KTE I'm sorry to hear Chloe has been ill hope it's short lived, it's awful when they are ill.

LK I'm so sorry to hear your news

Things with me are ok, I've not been feeling great lately, very tired all the time, very heavy periods and generally just feeling really down. I'm off to the Docs on Monday so hopefully she can help me in some way, although I don't hold out much hope as my Docs are pretty crap.

Anyway big hugs to you girls x

 

[florabean1981]

So many poorly babies n mummies at the moment! I hope everyone gets some much needed rest over the weekend n starts to feel better soon. Xxx

 

[littlekitten8]

Kte - I am working nights from my birthday. My birthday is the wednesday so I had planned the party for the saturday. Which I am now also working. Sucks. On the up side I had a rather nice dinner tonight with my brother and SIL and then watched Scott Pilgrim Vs the World. Was rather random but pretty funny. And my best friend from Oxford is coming down after I finish work tomorrow and we are having a girly DVD and wine night so thats good. Just got home and settled James into his own bed so I am off to tidy my living room as it looks like a tornado came and dropped off toys everywhere and then I'm off to catch some zzz's. Night all

 

[aimee-lou]

Evening all!

Just checking in - hope we're all feeling better. Earl and I had a lovely day shopping and generally chilling out today. Hubby stayed at home and chilled out a bit as it's been a busy week going back to uni etc.

Just waiting for food to arrive. Last takeaway for a while - next weekend is hubby's birthday and then we're on skint-ville once again until I get this all sorted out. Got to get myself another job pronto I reckon....need it anyway as we're sticking to the plan of TTCing - nothing will stop that I reckon lol - so I need a perm job before we can actively try otherwise I wont get the leave/pay which is kind of the point of us having the second one is for me to be able to have a full year off! - I WILL MAKE THIS HAPPEN!
Anyway - doorbell is ringing - food time! Yummers!

Quick piccie of Earl - he;s a big lad! lol

 

[Kte]

Evenin' all.

Chloe is much better today, her bum was on best behaviour It's still a tad smelly but I haven't been inundated like the past few days which was great because we were due to visit Fraggles and I didn't want to be passing on anything nasty. It was really great seeing her and chatting, time always flies far too quickly, I did feel guilty too - for keeping her up as N and J were zonked for ages when we got there. J was so small and so cute, I totally forgot what a tiny baby looked like! N and Chloe were really funny playing together too.

Not much happning tomorrow, someone is coming to collect a cabinet from ebay but that is about it, oh and I have a few bits of shopping to do otherwise the cats won't get fed I guess washing and ironing too but I will worry about all that tomorrow!

Aimee: Hope the take away was nice, which kind was it? Good luck with finding a new job Really lovely pics of Earl too,

LK: Ooo enjoy girlie film night, sounds like fun

Kaites: Lovely new avatar too!

Have a good evening / day tomorrow all

 

[Fraggles]

Had a lovelt time Kte will have to do shopping trip when im all healed. Im feeling tired now I zonked out for a couple of hours just woe up to feed J and going to have another nap when ive had a coffee.

Aimee Earl looks gorgeous

LK how is James doing and how are you feeling today?

 

[littlekitten8]

Fraggles - James is much better. He is having a nap atm. I am feeling a little better today. Overdid it over the last few days with walking 2 miles Friday and about 3 miles yesterday, my left leg felt really heavy and a bit like it didn't really belong to me when I got home. Scared me cos thats how it was last time except that I was dragging my foot. I was having to make a concious effort to not. After an hour of resting I did feel a bit better and walking was much easier so its been a bit of a kick up the butt to take things more easy.

How is everyone else?

 

[littlekitten8]

Hmmm where has everyone disappeared to? All on me little lar in here lol. Got my results back from my assignment today and got a B so passed my course and can now officially be a mentor. Off to get James weighed at 2pm and I'm intrigued to find out how much he weighs. Cos he has been poorly so much over the last couple months he keeps losing weight so I'm guessing around 21-22lbs. He was 19lb 15oz last time he was weighed.

 

[Kaites]

Morning

LK- Congrats on the coursework! I hope you are feeling better today

Aimee- Cute piccies of Earl

Hope everyone had a good weekend! Monday seems to come around to fast these days. We went skating on Saturday and the weather wasn't as bad as I thought it would be- still -17C but no wind so it didn't feel too horrible. It's supposed to be -32C outside atm though- and that's without the windchill factored in- eek! No way we are playing in the snow today!! Anyway, hubby treated me to a beer and zucchini sticks at one of our favourite microbreweries afterwards which was nice Emma was well behaved for the grandparents too Emma seems to be a bit congested this morning- she's still in bed so I guess I'll find out once the lights are on if she's turned into a green snot monster overnight I really hope not- hubby is leaving for an overnight work trip today and I'd rather not have to juggle a sick baby and daycare kiddies (I think I'd call my mum for help but I'd rather not have to).

Hope everyone is doing well

 

[Kte]

Morning all,

LK: Glad you're taking it easy Congrats on the grade How much did James weigh in the end?

Kaites: Sounds like a nice time Hope Emma hadn't turned into a green monster

We have been quiet, Chloe was ill Thurs / Fri then Nij took a funny turn on the way home from Fraggle's and hasn't been right since, well he is a tad better today. I seem to have my turn now, its just odd, just feel lethargic and a little achey. Thankfully not the gross stuff Chloe has had TMI! So long as Chloe is fine today we will be back to the norm tomorrow, no matter how I feel!

 

[florabean1981]

harry just had his mmr & flu jabs (at last). they made him bleed n he cried for about 30 secs but seems ok at the moment.

i've hurt my back again so not a happy bunny today, but other than that, life is good.

hope everyone else is doing great!

 

[littlekitten8]

He isn't being weighed til this avo so will let you know once we are back. Sorry to hear you've all been poorly Kte. Hope you feel better soon.

Kaites - yikes and I thought it was cold here at -2!!

 

[Fraggles]

Afternoon all im tired tired tired as usualy wore myself out shoping yesterday and then J wouldn't sleep he seems to be affected quite badly by things I eat

They are both spark out at the moment so I opted for eating in peace over sleeping as my food consumption seems non existent at the moment.

LK hope the weighing goes well I need to go get N weighed he was around the 21lb mark when I opt on the scales with him 2 weeks ago

Fleur hope Harry recovers well from the jabs

Kte yikes sounds like you have a bug going around you all ooooh I got some really cute babygros with your gift I picked these
