I had a very worrying week last week with Will. We went down to Sydney to stay at my Sisters place and Will was out of sorts for the few days we were there. Really clingy, whingy and not sleeping well at all. He was waking up all night for 2 nights then couple of times on the Friday. I haven't been that tired for a long time. Left there on Saturday morning heading home. I was just pulling off the M2 onto Pennant Hills Road Exit when I looked at Will he was convulsing. It took me a second to register what was happening then I pulled over onto side of road got him out and called the ambulance. Whilst talking to them he had stopped and I knew what had happened. Luckily I was only 10mins from my Sister Inlaw Natalies who is a nurse so I drove there anxiously wishing the traffic would dissappear. When we got there he had a temp of 40.2. He'd had a temp earlier in the morning & I gave him some panadol but don't know how high it was because I didn't have my thermometer. I'll be taking that away with us now. Anyway he was well for another 2 days with vomiting & diarreha. After a trip to the hospital and then the Dr I was giving a jar to get a urine sample to take back in couple of days. I was going to have to leave his nappy off & try to catch his pee. Hard task! Anyway he came good & the night after seeing the Dr he had no temp & fine since. He is teething though so he is still getting upset & waking abit. He could be getting his first molars so may be the reason he was unwell. He also had his immunisation the tuesday day before he seemed unwell. Who knows I'm just glad he is ok. Other then all this we had a nice time at my sisters. As always Jack loved visiting. Lisa is living in a great estate & now I'm resolved that I'd like to live in an estate one day because I think it's a great place to raise kids. Better start saving.
Jack is just going so well. He talks so well & constantly cracking us up. His imagination is really working great. I was in his room getting his pj's ready & listening to him playing with Woody & Buzz. He was saying don't touch me Woody & to Buzz be careful Buzz and just making up things with them.
Yesterday morning Will was still asleep & Jack wanted to go wake him. I told Jack he couldn't. He said to me you wait there holding his hand up & started walking away. I said don't go wake Will he said No I'm not then was ssshhh me walking away again I said don't go wake will he said I'm not going to wake Will then came over & stroked my hair said it's ok Mum. So funny! Then yesterday the four of us were out on the deck having an icecream & Jack started laughing at Will & said look at his face then said look at him he's excited. I think they've been learning emotions at preschool lately. This is just the latest things I can remember but he just says things all the time that surprise us.
He has grown up so much lately. He also was in our bed with Daddy the other night & I could hear them laughing. They were pretending there was a kangaroo around. Jack was saying where is he & Ben would make up where he was. They were saying ssshhh can you here him then Ben would say boung, boung so cute. His manners are really good saying thankyou and please. I'm very big on this but his preschool is too which is great. He is loving school. Everytime I pick him up his teacher said he is going really well socialising more & more with all the kids. He says bye to all the kids & a few even run over & give him a cuddle. He seems to have a few he must play with or like alot saying bye to them by name. One little girl said bye Jack yesterday & he said by didn't quite get what her name was then she gave him a cuddle. It makes me feel so good that he is loving it & going so well there. It's the best thing I could of done for him I think. He doesn't want to leave when I pick him up which is a good sign.
Pregnancy is going well still. Last few days I'm feeling half normal again. Geez I was suffering from mood swings pretty bad. Poor Ben & kids. I'm feeling ok again & not so tired & having more energy which is great when I have two little boys to care for. My hormones must have settled down abit. My stomach has really popped out now no denying I'm pregnant. Felt baby moving couple of times in last week but nothing much. Probably by next week will be a whole lot more. Can't wait to have the next scan. Having first antenatal visit next Friday.
Well Ben is trying to quit smoking & it's now been about a week. So proud of him & I really hope he can do it not only for financial reasons but for his health. I'm so glad now that I don't smoke. His coughing always worries me. He is terribly grumpy at the moment but that's to be expected. Fingers crossed for him.
Not much planned for this weekend. Jack is going to an animal farm on Saturday with Poppy & Nanna Faye which he will love. Not sure what Will & I will do yet but I'll take him somewhere even if it's just to the park for a swing. Always look forward to the weekend when I have Daddy home to help. We are hoping to go away camping maybe following weekend in our camper as we havne't been anywhere for a while & I think for Ben it would be great to get away. He has an RDO on the monday so we could go for 2 nights. Either that or we were talking about catching the train down to Sydney & taking the kids to the aquarium or something. See what happens.
Must go as Jack is starting to want my attention again. He's been playing quite happily with his donkey from Shrek. take care xxx
