Sniffle, sniffle

It is COLD today! *shiver*The temp has suddenly dropped dramatically. I’m all cosy in my huge Gap sweatshirt. Coming down to the dark, cold lounge to express in the middle of the night was not fun. I’m going to have to invest in an enormous dressing gown methinks.

William and I are ill!!!! Mike had a cold at the weekend and he’s passed it to us. My gorgeous boy sounds even more like a pig than usual now-man, the grunts, snorts and sniffles are something else! *Note: I’m talking about William here, not my husband.

On Monday, when it was clear that William had caught the cold as he was VERY grizzly and congested, I was frantic with worry…..how was he going to BREATHE?! How can he clear his nose if he can’t blow it?? Did he have a fever? What if it’s MENINGITIS?! Arrrgggghhhhh!!!! (Perhaps slightly over the top but this is his first little illness, so cut me some slack). Anywhoooo, yesterday he was very grizzly, but he seems better today, although I feel like sh*t. Glands up, nose running like a tap, watery eyes and congested head *wallows in self-pity*. I’ve never been one to moan about being ill so I’m not going to start now BUT I would love to just curl up on the sofa and read a stack of magazines…..sadly with a 9 week old baby to keep me busy, that ain’t gonna happen.

Hey! I’ve just discovered the OD Message Boards! I never knew they existed before! They seem SLIGHTLY scary though. Are they fun? I might lurk for a while before deciding whether to post. I dropped into the Children and Parenting section and it looked like some of the posters were a bit aggressive! This whole BF versus FF debate is so BORING. I’m a regular lurker on Babycentre September 2006 birthclub and there’s just been a massive, heated debate about feeding on that. Some women have such strong views, which is fine, but they really shouldn’t force them down anyone’s throat.

What else is new? Oh, we’re going down to Plymouth on Friday to see my in-laws. They haven’t seen William since he was 4 days old so it will be lovely for them.  

My little man is stirring (how does he KNOW that I’m on Open Diary? He always seems to wake up when I’m writing an entry) so I’d better skiddadle; be back later to note my faves! Speaking of faves, I’m thinking of going faves only, I’d like my diary to be a bit more personal.

lots of love from a sniffly happycookie and William xxxxxxx
