Christmas Night

Ok, so it's a month late, but can you guess where we were Christmas night?


Nicholas was wheezing Christmas day, and got progressively worse. In the end, we had an adventure - I spoke to a nurse on NHS Direct and she was worried enough to tell us to get an ambulance into hospital to get checked out. He was not very impressed, especially with the breathing mask and the sats monitor (a clip on his toe, completely painless!) but completely ignored the two heel-prick blood tests. Silly boy. It turned out to be a nasty-sounding but relatively harmless viral chest infection, so we didn't even need medication. We didn't find this out until 4am, though! At least we got to keep the face mask...

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

I've been away for a little while. Sorry about that! Before Christmas Nikki's father visited for a week (a 12/10 on my stressometer) and left days before the chaos that is Christmas. Then we've both been ill with nasty coughs for the last week and with the couple of hours that I'm sleeping (rather than coughing/caring for sick baby) I've not really been up to blogging.
