A little bit la dee da

Comment Published at 02:1002:109 comments9 comments51 Visits51 VisitsReport

I am bored and still sick. I have spent most of today trying to comfort Austin. Poor little bugger is so sick. He must be over it by now. He has had this cold for 2 weeks now. I guess on an up note thou, now he is coughing alot, so i guess it is on its way out. He is doing this really strange breathing thing, and i am a little worried it might be asthma, but i dont know. I have never had it, and Shannon hasnt had it since he was a kid, so i dont know what i am meant to look out for??? Well i hope it isnt anyway.

He is very clever thou, while he has been sick i have been trying to teach him to blow his nose, which he does do sometimes, the rest of the time i have to fight with him just to wipe it, but i have found making it a blowing game has helped a little.. sometimes.. We also taught him to cover his mouth when he coughs, which he picked up straight away.

I have to say, i am just blown away by how quickly he is learning everything at the moment. Some things we only show him once and he remembers. It is amazing what their little brains do!!!

I joined the gym last week and went for my first work out yesterday. It wasnt as hard as i expected it to be. I thought for sure my legs would ache today, but they are good, i am just a little tender around my shoulder blades, i am thinking from the rowing machine or the weights. Not sure yet, will see which one hurts more tomorrow when i go.

Well i am sure i have more to write, but i think i will go and do something constructive?? Or maybe i will stay here LOL dont know yet.

Have a great week everyone!!!

The post viral cough can hang around for weeks.  I've only just gotten rid of it after 3 weeks.

Your poor family.  I hope you all get better really soon.

That is great that Austin is picking up on things really quickly.  Maybe he could teach my 2 year old to cover her mouth as at the moment, she comes up and just coughs in my face!!!!

Hey Cass, i cant believ you are both still sick, i really hope it goes away soon. Im so happy i havnt been sick in over a year, knowing my luck ill get it soon and it will never go away :(

I had mild asthma when i was younger, until i was around 13. I iddnt flare up until i had a cold tho. But when iw as little, like 3-4 i did go on the nebuliser machine thingy cos i use to get really bad. I honestly cant remember what to look out for, its more if your the person you know cos your chest gets tight, kinda like heartburn it was for me.

I hope Austin doesnt have it.

I wanna start gym too but not on my own, think imite just buy a gym set and work out at home, maybe goran will get on it too, he really needs to tone up lol..

Have funa t gym and get well soon you and Austin.

Dannii xxo

Hi Lui

I dont really have much choice but to teach him new stuff at the moment, he is so sooky lala i can barely escape him, and i try to do other stuff with him, like read a story or watch a movie, but he wants to play.. Of course i dont mean on his own, i mean sitting right on my lap!! LOL So i have been doing alot of .. umm .. strange .. stuff PMSL!!!

Working out was actually quite enjoyable, mind you i think i should probably be pushing myself just a bit harder to get the results i want. xox

Hiya Cass,

                     Poor little Austin.... life's just not fair when they're sick!!! Not fair on them and definitely not fair on us Mum's! As for the asthma thing... I'm no expert but I know when jd's asthma is really bad I can hear his chest making  a weezing sound. Almost high pitched. I hope it's not asthma either!!!

He sounds like he's growing up so quickly.... did I say that he could??LOL..... sounds like you've got a bright spark on your hands there!!!

take care and hope you both feel better soon,

fi xoxo

Hiya Fi

No it sucks! It sucks it sucks it SUCKS!!! I just did a little reading online and i dont think it is asthma, probably more to do with his cold than anything. Well i am hoping so anyway. Had enough of a scare when he was in hospital with croup, dont want to go back there with asthma too!

Well, you didnt! LOL, i didnt either, but apparently he had different plans LOL
