Tis the season and all that! Me and John are shattered! Daddy came home last Tuesday full of cold. Having asthma it does affect him badly, but never have I heard those noises coming from him. Now John's in his cot he gets excited going to bed and wants tucked in then left alone and settles himself. Last three nights however that's not been so easy. Daddy gets in bed and lies on his back which I've told him makes him snore but he does anyway. Then starts snoring, quietly so John can just about get off to sleep, then he starts whimpering! How does a cold make you whimper! Then the snoring gets louder so John gets upset and can't sleep, and neither can mummy! Last night daddy got the sharpest dig in the ribs followed by a kick when it didn't work. Anyways thankfully daddy gets up at 5.30am for work so catch up a little bit of sleep.

ANyways enough moaning. We are going away this weekend for Christmas, so won't be on here probably til newyear. Hope all you ladies have a good one. All babies have a good first Christmas and goodluck to anyone due, hope all goes well x

Daddy took over parenting duties over the weekend and now he's back at work, I'll just come back in at 5.30am when he goes to work so I am in here with James.....in short, kick him out!! Lol! Have a great Christmas! x

Well we've progressed to a diarrhoea nappy this morn, though he seems quite happy in himself. Just a lot more tired, obv full of coldy symptoms so we are having more grumpy cries and sneezes that are going everywhere. Bless the first thing he's learnt to hold properly is a hanky! Wipes it all over his face! Got a scan for his hips this afternoon, so hoping he doesn't have a poopy incident there. Keeping an eye on him next 24 hrs hoping don't have to go gp. Plans for Christmas may be off... do what I'm going to do if can't do stuff for Christmas. Switch off all communications and lock the door :) x
