29 weeks

I have been the queen of mucus this week with DH having the man flu and little Lachie having the flu. Last Wednesday (27th June) Lachlan had a horrible day crying from sun up to sun down and he was rolling around in pain, at first I thought it was because of teeth (as he does have some new ones coming through) but then the cough started. 

I ended taking both of them to the Doctors on the Thursday and they both got antibiotics (Lachlan's first in his life) which they both started on the Friday. DH has made pretty much a full recovery with just a little cough to bug him now, but Lachlan still has a really chunky cough that is really bugging him and having coughing fits at night which almost make him vomit (my poor little monkey). We have a second repeat on his antibiotics, but I think I would like to take him back to the GP before we start it just in case it has mutated into something else (with all possibility with him going to child care now it could have). 

But with looking after germy people (LOL) you will often end up getting their germs, so low and behold I have now got a case of the runny noses, headache, ear ache and sore neck, not to mention fatigue but that could be a mixture of 3 trimester fatigue and the cold that I have gotten. I know there is really nothing for me to take while I am pregnant so I am keeping up the fluids and taking panadol when needed, if I end up feeling crappier or end up getting a high temp I will either see my GP or call the midwives at my birthing hospital.

In Other news I had my Glucose Tolerance Test (GTT) on Monday (2nd July) I was meant to have it on Saturday (30th June) but with my boys being sick and sitting up all night with Lachlan on the Friday it just wasn't possible and I was completely exhausted! So Monday it was. My sister came with me to keep me company as the test goes for 2hours (plus the waiting to be seen before hand so it was about 2 and half hours all up). The drink was just how I remembered with Lachlan, DISGUSTING!!! 

So I sculled down the glucose drink (much to my sisters surprise) and started my wait for my second round of bloods. They forgot me for 15 minutes after my hour was up so my second wait was only 45 minutes. 

I won't get these results until I see Dr D on the 20th July (Dr D is currently away). 

Only 8 more days until we get to see our princess again!!
