I'm sick of this stupid virus. Had both girls back to the doctors this morning after Grace got sent home from her nursery again with another high temperature. I told the doctor she's had this cough for nearly 2 weeks now, I was determined not to be told 'its viral' and pretty much demanded antibiotics for her, but I got them so hopefully she'll be on the mend now. Poor Esme still has an upset stomach - we're on day 4 now and its not much improved. The doctor can't give her medicine as it will upset her tummy more but she said to take her back if its no better after 7 days. Thanks for nothing. Argh. I had to get a stool sample from her - possibly the most disgusting thing I have had to do in my life. The joys of motherhood!!

It's my birthday on Thursday and we're supposed to be going to visit Puppy Kai on Friday so I have everything crossed that the girls feel better in the next couple of days. They are completely waring me out now I can't take much more of this. Poor babies. Plus I do NOT want to catch anything and be ill over my birthday that would really suck! Everyone send your prayers for my babies - I don't think either of them have actually been so poorly for so long and its really got me worried.
