Sick... Take Two

My post on 14th May said I was sick... well... I thought I was. But in the last few days, I've been sicker than I've been in a loooong time. Wow... being a mummy when sick just takes one to a whole new level of everything. Selflessness. Sacrificial love. That sort of thing.

Alastair had Thursday and Friday off work because he's been sick, and on Friday I came down with it - hard. And I'm so glad that it's now the weekend... I don't know what I'd have done without Alastair. He has been such a wonderful husband as we muddle our way through this new experience as a little family. Today he's feeling a bit better, while I'm feeling about 100 times worse, so he's been getting washing and dishes up to date and looking after Annie while she's awake so that I can just rest and sleep.

I think Anthea is feeling a bit under the weather too, she's a little bit sniffly, but not blocked up... and she doesn't have a cough or anything. But if she's feeling anything like we have, she could have a massive headache and/or sore throat.... so hard when little ones are sick. Last night I was up to her several times, and thought my head was going to explode.....

Anyhow, we've just been lying around really... last night I got all the photos on the computer sorted into folders like I've been meaning to do for ages, so that was a good thing. I've got a whole lot more to share with you all soon. :)

Oh, and today I discovered these articles, and thought they may be an encouragement to others as they were to me... :)
