sick dogs get some rest

How come I dont get a rest! Im sick...sicker then most dogs that have been eating roadkill for the past week. I dont like being sick. Willy and I both have a cold, and it is not nice at all. I am awake most of the night trying to get Willy to go back to sleep, so I am going without. I know it is part of the package deal that mothers (and fathers) sign up for. I am looking forward to having a nice hot shower before having to the doctors. I am also crossing my fingers that I get to see a dentist sometime this week. I might as well have it removed, as it is painful and not fun any more. lol

There was going to be a photo here of me, but I just couldnt do it...its just wrong to inflict that kind of punishment on people...lol

Crocheting
I am working on my quidditch projects at the moment. I have to see what else i can fit in, but my 2 main goals for this month, is my quidditch outfit for Willy and my OWL. I want to get about 25% of them done.

I have finished a few projects last month and just one so far this month. Not bad going.

(Im just waiting for my mummy to come over and look after me...)

One sick boy and a Happy Mother!!!

Miles isnt too happy. He has the flu or something, and has a tummy ache, runny nose and a watery eye. Not a pretty sight, but he is smiling and wanting lots of cuddles.
He is very pleased that I am knitting Morris, his teddy bear, a blanket. I have moved on from the green yarn to the grey. I got Miles to grab me the next ball, and he collected the grey one, and it looks good against the green. I hope to get a bit more of it finished tonight, and maybe a photo or two of what I am doing taken tomorrow.

RAKs and Secret Pal
I received a few RAKs and a Secret Pal this week.
RAKs - finally received a few stitch markers, they are so beautiful and cant wait to try them out on my next projects. I really need to learn how to make them. I also received a square, a magnet, 2 balls of sugar n cream!
My Secret Pal from CrochetX sent me a lovely gift. Tomorrow, when I am taking some photos, I am going to show you what she sent me. She has done some beautiful work and I love them very much!!!

A sick little boy

This morning was very interesting. I got Miles ready to go to kindy, as he wanted to go, and I just wasnt too sure that he would be able to do a whole day there, as he has a nasty cough. But he was insistant that he wanted to go. So off we go to kindy...the all 2 minute walk there. He went straight to the toys after putting his bag and hat away. I stayed for a while, about a good 30 minutes, helping him and the other children, before Miles said I could go home.
So I am at home, enjoying the quiet time, and looking at the yarn that I just got in the mail from DoodleDuck at Ravelry, and thinking what to make with it, when I hear my mobile phone going off. By the time I remember which button to press, since it has been so long since my mobile has rang, and the fact that one button is red and the other is green, I was too late to answer it. But thankfully I have caller ID so I knew it was the kindy. I called them and was told that Miles is very upset and getting upset by the minute and breathing funny. They had tired everything, but he just wasnt a happy boy.
So I went and collected him from there, and boy was he upset. He didnt want to look at the other children or the teachers. He just wanted to go home. We walked back home, and he climbed onto the futon and laid down and went off to sleep for about an hour. I didnt like the way he was breathing and knew it was time to go and get the Nebulizer. So I had to wait until he woke up and mum arrived, as she had called just before Kindy to tell me she was coming over.
When we got home, I placed him on the machine, and it made a dramatic difference in him.
Now he is just sitting down watching television, watching Big Brother, he is being very quiet. He hasnt touched his dinner, but he has been eating during the day, and quite a bit, too. I know it wont last to much longer, as he needs to be cuddled, and cuddled a lot, poor little fella.

Crocheting and knitting
I am working on 2 things at the moment, the lace wrap and now a colourful scarf/muffler for Miles with one ball of the yarn that was gifted to me. Miles really loves the colours and is so happy that this is for him. (^_^)
I have a few other projects that I want to get started soon too. I want to make a little turtle or two and a few other items that I have as WIMs.

39.2 degrees

That is not the temp. here, but what Miles is at the moment. He is burning up but I have given him some medicine, and he seems to be feeling a little better. He wont be going to kindy today though, as I think that he might not be too good today. He is happy to lay on the couch and watch some news (but I think that he is holding out for me to put on some cartoons...lol)
Jumpei is also sick today too. He is in bed and I think he has what I had yesterday. I had lots of cramps and throwing up too. The cramps were like labour pains, and coming every 10 minutes, so Jumpei has it. Not fun at all.
I am so glad that it wasnt labour pain, as the baby is only 28 weeks along now. As of today, I only have 11 weeks and 4 days to go before the due date. I am so excited. The baby is kicking about a lot more and is rolling about and doing stretches. Both Jumpei and I have a feeling that this one might come early. I hope that he doesnt come too early. I hope that he doesnt come in the 35th week, as I will be going to Brisbane to see a friend of mine who is coming over to Australia for a short holiday, from Japan. So I am really looking forward to that.
Next week, I have to go and see the doctor for a check up. I think that everything should be fine. I will have my blood pressure checked and all that stuff. ^_^ I dont hink that I have to worry about my blood pressure, as it has always been good, even with my pregnancy with Miles. So I am expecting much of the same with one.

I havent been doing much crocheting over the last couple of days, as I havent been feeling well and have been trying to get the baby clothes all washed and sorted. I found where I had kept all of Miles's old baby clothes, and have gone through them to find the ones that I need. I think i might have enough, and won't really need to buy any more, but I will double check and make sure that I have enough of the right sizes and hopefully they are warm enough for him, as Miles was a summer baby! This one is going to be a late winter/autumn baby. So it will be windy around that time here.
I have another load of washing to put out on the line that is full of baby clothes in the sizes 00000 to 000. That should have the baby covered for atleast 4 or 5 months. ^_^ Depending on how big this one is.
