Colds, colds and more colds!!

So as the title suggests we have had colds. Martha started the ball rolling a week and a half ago and I sort of got mine not long after that. Millie then also started with hers the end of last week and continued into this week. So horrible when they are so little. They both still have fairly nasty coughs too which is not nice. To top it off Liam has one now this weekend which hopefully will see the end of it for a few weeks at least. There is obviously loads of it around there aren't many people I have seen recently who either have had a cold or know of someone who has a cold. Last weekend was pretty tough too as both Millie and Martha both had one night of not being settled. Marthas was a strange one, we were in my parents and we got up in middle of the night to feed Millie, it was when I went downstairs that I heard Martha shouting haaaaa hooooooooo and singing. This was just before 4.00, I went it to see her and she creid and wanted to go downstairs, then she wanted to me to get in bed with her, I finally got her to lie down, however when I left and went back to my room she was still singing!!!!? I went back in, gave her some calpol in case that was the problem and she finally went to sleep around 4.30. My mother had also been up and her room backs onto where Martha sleeps- she had been up since 2.30 singing on and off!! What a strange thing. It had been very windy and rainy and the door next to my parents house had been banging and we thought that might have woken her and then she just couldn't settle. So that was the Saturday night, the Sunday night was Millies turn, she had been fine until she woke to feed, then she just didn't settle at all, she kept coughing and was full of cold and I think that was the problem. Monday then with me being shattered and Millie being ill we then left Martha with my parents to ease things a little bit. Health visitor came out that day and weighed Millie, after my worrying she put on 13oz!!! Made up for the previous week. She was a little bit worried about her illness. So we rung the doctor, not sure I have spoken about the weird system here, you ring up, then the doc rings back and decides whether you should see them!! We rung at 12.00 and were told we would be rung back in the next hour or so, 4.00 still no call. They did finally ring about 4.30 and Liam spoke to the doc (he was working from home on Mon) the doc didn't seem too concerned and said we were more than welcome to go up but we said we wouldn't and if she was worse the next day we would go up. She was better the next day so that was good. She did have a temp on the Sunday night and Monday morning but that had gone by Tues so all good. She still has a cough and a bit of a watery eye but hopefully over the worst now.
Liam is funny, we have a digital thermometer and he keeps saying he has a temp but every time he takes it is fine!! He is pretty under the weather though and he has been good this weekend, still letting me have a lie in this morning- love you!
Got our Xmas shopping pretty much finished last weekend, it was good to get it over and done with, although we did miss having a pram to hook bags onto, our hands were aching so much by the end of it.
This week has been a lot better for me emotionally and hopefully a sign of things to come!?
Oh by the way Liam has found an easier way for me to put pics onto his website so will be doing that over the next few days.
