Sickness

Bf had a good weekend away on his stag do with friends. They went Friday to Monday and a had a lovely time. Bf did say though that he preferred our weekend away due to entertainment and because we're more on the same level. We don't go on holiday just to drink ourselves stupid (which is the main reason for stag do's) and that he now prefers the more relaxed atmospheres rather than just the boys nights out 3 nights on the trot.

As for me, What a weekend I had.

The ONE weekend I am by myself, I have a few problems.

First one, when I check my home phone for messages on Saturday morning I realise that we had a call when we were at the funeral on Friday. The airline we've booked our honeymoon flights with have pulled out of the airport we were due to fly from.

They can offer us an alternative flight from another London airport or a full refund. Yesterday bf phones them back. I didn't want to contact them back without consulting him first. Of course, he was away and I didn't want to bring down his boys weekend. We asked for a refund. They were rather hesitant in giving us our flight fees back and kept on trying to talk us into flying from Gatwick airport rather than City Of London. They didn't seem too happy with us cancelling entirely but bf explained to them it would cost far too much train returns for us, or we could drive to Gatwick taking 2 1/2 hours, petrol cost and parking costs. But we would rather drive another 5 hours and not pay out for anything more than the petrol to do the journey. In the end they agreed and we are awaiting our money to go back into our account. So that's our flights cancelled, our hire car cancelled and plans all changed round yet again.

The little men have been rather poorly.

Late Saturday night I went to check on James like I always do when I go to bed, to be greeted by the most horrible smell. He had had a bout of diarrhea and sickness. His pyjamas were covered from where his nappy had leaked, his bed had to be stripped and he really wasn't happy that I had woke him up. I cleaned him up and put him in bed with me for a while. Shortly after he started gagging so we rushed to the bathroom where he was sick again and he was so good. Insinct kicked in as he held onto the toilet seat as he leaned over the bowl to be sick. Even at 18 months and the first time he's really been sick like that he knew what to do bless him. He spent most of Sunday sleeping it off. We went to my grandparents for dinner but James didn't eat, he spent most of the afternoon cuddled up on me asleep.

Monday he was sick again as he tried to eat but has been on the mend since then. However, yesterday Liam had clearly got the bug and was vomiting and suffering from diarrhea himself. He looked washed out and wasn't his normal smiley self. He was off food but kept on the milk all day. Again he slept alot and is seeming much better today. Still, I am expecting more sickness later today or tomorrow.

Apart from being off his food a little James is much more back to his normal jolliness. Causing chaos, running around and being a typical toddler. I just want him to start eating normally again. We have been keeping him hydrated but it's not my boy when he wont eat his dinner. He loves his food and has just been snacking on dry biscuits for the last 2 days with yesterday the first day he's been able to hold it down.

My poor little boys.

We've booked our removals van for next Tuesday so I officially have just 6 more nights of sleeping in this house. I really can't wait. I think I have packed all that I possibly can and we will get as much over as we can on Monday when we sign the rental agreement and get our keys. Bf is going to sand the floorboards in the living room so we can do that without the kids being around then we only have to varnish it over one evening when the kids are in bed and then bf and I will have to spend the rest of the evening in the kitchen before bed to allow it to dry. I feel a game of monopoly is long overdue. haha.
