A week of illness...

we've been ill... I've been on antibiotics since last monday and have had a hacking cough, and a cold. G's had a high temperature of 39.6 degC (at one point!) which finally broke on saturday. As a result, he's only been to nursery 1 day last week (out of 2.5 days).

Monday, the first day of my hectic week (I'd been coasting the last 7 weeks in comparison!) I had to bring G to the dr (who was most useless - I'd never seen him before) who said that 'it's normal for babies to have a temperature'...(yeah, but at something higher than a 38?!). D took G to the dr in the afternoon again where I'd made another app with another dr (I had a 3 hr session with the MBA class, so couldn't go!). He prescribed some antibiotics for G and said that we could hang on to them and see if he got better. Turns out he had an ear infection!

So, baby G's been on antibiotics since Thursday night, and he's much better now. I now wish I started his antibiotics much earlier, but they do say if we give babies too much antibiotics they'll grow resistant to the bugs! So what is mummy supposed to do?! He'll have his last dose tomorrow (Mon) and hopefully everything will be fine. On top of that, he's also had calpol and ibuprofen! talk about OTT.

He's now almost back to his normal bouncy self - I hope he'll be fine soon.

Today, we also had our first sight of snow! We had about half an hour of snow which then turned into snow for half the day. It's really cold today, and tonight!

Wrap up everyone!
