Sharing it 'round

Whew! It's a bit crazy around here at the moment. Phil and I both came down with Jamie's gastro on the weekend. I spent most of Saturday in bed, not able to lift my head off the pillow. Phil brought the baby in when he needed a feed. Thank goodness Jamie was still not taking solids, so all he needed was a breastfeed every few hours.

Needless to say, it is complete chaos around here. I'm still suffering, and can't even bear to look at the dishes in the kitchen. The thought of cleaning dishes makes me want to hide my head in the nearest toilet bowl.

Being sick when you've got a baby just takes suffering to the next level, doesn't it? Especially when your baby is sick at the same time.

Happily, it would seem that we are all on the mend.
Happily, I am going to look super-slim for our big gala ball that Phil and I are going to this weekend coming :). There's nothing like a combination of increased breastfeeding and gastro to just peeeel those pounds away. Not something I'd recommend to others though.

That's all from us today.
Oh, is the new For Keeps out? I might upload my layouts tomorrow.
OK, see ya

Das haben die gastro-intestinalen Infekte leider oft so an sich, daß sie sich auf alle Familienmitglieder übertragen :-( Ich kann mit euch fühlen. Wünsche euch gute Besserung!
