Sick DayS

Some virus has been working its way around our home.  Last week I had taken a 'sick day' and Malou had looked after the children for me.  I thought I had beat this thing.  Then, it started again this week, with Little A running a slight fever on Monday.  Smile-ah also had nasal congestion and was generally miserable, so we went on a little trip to SEHA, where I learned the LONG and time-wasting way that they have a special 'Pediatrics' clinic--it's at the back, and there are no signs to mark its existence.  Then T N started up with a fever too, however I believe his issues are more related to teething.  He, as usual, wins the prize for best sick person.  He is just sleepy and tired--and still sweet as ever.

Once we managed to get all the children back to healthy, the bug took both Peter and I down (Peter, of course, went down harder).

I am hoping tomorrow sees us all healthier.  Nursing a congested baby is very difficult.  It is also hard to recover from an illness if you are being woken up every 1-2 hours in the night-time to nurse a congested baby.  I am hoping my body is passing her some immunity via the milk (all the research says it should be).

Here is a little video of the girls taken this week.  Smile-ah bounced her first bounces in the jolly jumper.  This jolly jumper has been used by all three of my kids--but Smile-ah is the only one who thoroughly appears to enjoy it (even when she's sick!).
