Nearly back to normal...

Although both me and Jamie are still coughing a little when we go to bed, I think we are both (finally) on the mend. Unfortunately, this means that most of November has been lost in a haze of sleepy, cough and snot filled days.

This weekend we had a visit from cousin Lucy and family and it is amazing how much she is talking and how much she picks up on what people say. Jamie has advanced a lot in the last few months and it is brilliant to read with him when he is able to pick out the pictures on the page or point to things in the room, but Lucy is a little bit further on....

Friday we took Nanna Grace out for her 90th birthday. I do hope that I am as sprightly as she is when I am 90. There were 7 adults and Lucy and Jamie and they all behaved themselves!! Jamie was so cute kissing everyone!!

First Trip to the Dentist

Yesterday Jamie had his first 'proper' trip to the dentist but it was all a bit of a farce as we could not get parked, and so Daddy and Jamie had to run in, and Mummy had to wait in the car - trying to get a space. They were in and out in only a few minutes, but it turned out that they had been confused with another person called Simpson who saw our usual dentist and Daddy and Jamie saw a different dentist. This 'new' dentist had only a quick look at Jamie, who was on Daddy's knee, and then he looked at Daddy's and said he needed a filling!! On their way out Daddy spoke to our usual dentist who said he didn't need a filling as he had been monitoring that tooth for a while..... Luckily I did get to see our usual dentist (following Daddy and Jamie taking over sitting in the car) but I did witness one of the dental nurses in tears. I suspect she was responsible for the mix up!!

Cough, Cough, Cough, Cough.....

Its been a whole week of coughing for both me and Jamie and its only this morning that I feel slightly better. We did take Jamie to the Drs on Tuesday but he said that as there was nothing on his chest just to give it a few days. We were worried he had conjunctivitis; especially as Noah had had it last week, but that only lasted a couple of days and could have been just snot!!

We had a few nights/mornings of throwing up due to the amount of coughing and I nearly rang NHS Direct a couple of times. We have consequently been watching far too much TV as mummy has been too tired to do much at all.

It seems (once again) that there is 'a lot of it about' as both the twins have been suffering as well as Noah, and unfortunately one of Noah's friends was admitted to hospital this week. He started with a chest infection a few weeks ago and is now on oxygen and inhalers after developing a virus! Makes you think...and worry......
