Oh joy
By hissychick | May 25, 2009
Forgive me, dear internets, for my slackening pace when it comes to the posts. I’d almost love to be able to say that this is because I have been succumbing to early pregnancy nausea and fatigue…but it’s because you smell.
Well it’s only partly that.
I have been dealing with ‘just a virus’ for over a week right now, a dreadful snotty lurgy that has tortured my throat and nose and general will to live, before deciding to settle in my right ear this morning, from which I have not yet regained my hearing.
Oh the pressure as the train ascends the mountain, the freaking pressure. And no suitable decongestant drugs to be had thanks to the first trimester/breastfeeding combo that leaves you with something as useless as your immune system to deal with it all.
But there’s no more time for sooking and fondly remembering the golden days of pregnancy, when you could actually lie around and do stuff all. Although thanks to the darling man that is mr hissychick I have been doing as much of that as I can.
I digress.
You see my two darlings have pulled a two for one get out of jail daycare pass on me. This morning I received a phone call at work to inform me that E has severe conjunctivitis in both eyes, and while we’re at it, A has hurt her mouth and you might want to get the still bleeding area and wobbly tooth checked out.
Mr hissychick valiantly escaped the office to collect the kids.
Of course the earliest doctors appointment we could get is tomorrow (and not one for myself, around our way you have to give the medical establishment two weeks notice that you might be sick ). Somehow through the magic that is my husband this does not clash with the afternoon with the pediatric dentist gig. So our day off will be a fun one of juggling engagements a mere 50 km away from each other, thankfully with a visit to Nana to offload the gunky eyed one and new batch of germs collected at the doctor’s office in between.
Despite all of the shenaningans one thought keeps running through my mind: Could it really be true that this time next year I’ll be juggling a third kidlet and their issewes as well?
God I hope so.

I have always wanted three, as well.
Now that we have two, and looking at our given personalities and tolerance levels, I think she’s right that we should stop at two kids.
Kudos to you!

Hope the teeth and eyes are fine. I really hate conjunctivitis.

Poor babies. Hope all of you get well soon. And Bravo to the man, mr. Hissychick.

Hope you all get well soon. Can’t imagine having to deal with 1st trimester and also other viruses!
