So long since....

...my last post.  Life has been soooooo busy, I haven't had time to think about what needs to be done, let along write about it.  Really I am not sure the point of this blog is.  I think that I would like to record some of the things that are happening with the children, but when I even /think/ of sitting down to write about  it, I think that I would rather be crocheting, or I have something that just HAS to be done..... anyhow, I have a moment now.  Today is the baby's 6 month birthday!  Incredible.  Except she is ill.  She had a cold and crazy temperatures last week, and this week she keeps puking, and just when I think she is over it, she pukes again.  I have her on the pedialyte now, but only did it for 12 hours yesterday and went back onto the milk.  This after her nap this morning..... well, I don't need to explain.  Anyhow, I am going the full 24 hours.  I hope it works.  Someone said, that sounds like reflux.  I think reflux is one of those things, like colic, something that people just say to sound knowledgeable.  After 4 children I don't know what those things are.  When ever she cried in the evening I adjusted my diet, as I am breast feeding, and added probiotics, and things got better.  So today, all I wanted was for someone to come and sit on my couch and hold her.  That's all she wants, but I really really just needed to potter.  And this isn't something I can just say to someone as they take it as a request that you come and sit on your couch.  But it isn't.  Just anyone wouldn't do, I would feel way too guilty and self conscious, and trying to plan pottering.  So I decided to write about it here.  The only person that would do would be my dear dear sister in law, or her mum, or my mum.  But they are not here - they are thousands of miles away. :-(  So I had to forgo the pottering and sat with the wee girl 'til she went to sleep.  It wasn't too hard.  Looking at her makes my heart feel like its being squeezed.  So. Very. Precious.  Anyhow, to the crocheting.
