Hey all, hope everyone is ok. Not a good day here, E has cried through most of it, no temp but coughing and bringing up loads of phlegm and not eating. He has had one weetabix, 3oz milk, an orange and three chocolate buttons all day. That is it. I have tried everything and he wouldn't touch anything. He went to bed without a drop of his bedtime bottle too and hasn't even drank one beaker of juice or anything. He won't have milk/milkshake/water/hot chocolate/juice/fresh juice (apple, orange and tropical). Not sure what I'm to do with him. He went to the doctors this afternoon and has amoxicillin because one of his ears is red and Ely has tonsilitis and an ear infection so it's likely the same thing coming. He hasn't slept all day either, not a bit. He went to bed at 7:30 and is asleep now so fingers crossed he gets some shut eye. I must admit I am a little worried, but trying not to worry too much and I know I should focus on fluids not food at the moment. Anyway...
I think I listed what E eats already, size wise he is just above 91st for weight at 12kgs and a bit, and he is above all the lines on height. So he's apparently plenty big enough but still does worry me. I've been better about it recently until he's gotten ill again.
you've reminded me det I really need some new jeans!
Happy birthday to your dd1 Eliza hope she's had a fab day today

wooo go O, that's fab chasing
Re Happiness. ditsygal I think your post is where i'm at, I love E to bits and I spent a few years before I had him wondering why I was going to uni/work, what the point was etc. I actually didn't really appreciate the pre-baby days as much as I probably should've. I wouldn't be without him now, this unconditional love stuff is so powerful. Before I had E dp was the most important person in my life but then I had E and I found myself making every decision based on his needs first, basically wot zamboni put. Also, sebsmummy you wrote a lovely post :)
I do find parenting really hard though sometimes, as well as being the best job in the world. I have learnt alot about myself because of E and have developed alot of patience even though it doesn't feel like it sometimes! eg No way would I have read 5 little ducks 20 about a hundred times in one day with a smile plastered to my face, snot in my hair and a bedraggled puffy eyed snotbox of a child clung to my waist before E. Never. Nor would I have eaten my dinner cold every day most of the time.
Today each meal has had a book plunged into the centre of it. Lovely. Apparently mummies should read, not eat.
Sorry I'm waffling. Not much sleep last night. I am bad without sleep, as you all know. Rubbish in fact. I just wanted to check in with the quiche :) I've enjoyed reading all these posts though, they're lovely :)
