Playing Catch Up

36+5 WEEKS (23 DAYS UNTIL D-DAY)

Now I have played catch up with the main bits, the rest can be summarised.

SWINE FLU
I had the Pandemrix Injection on Thursday, and while I don't really regret it, I should have done more research I think.
I didn't really think about the uncommon side effects as I'm a pretty common person, and rarely get side effects off anything, but I think pregnancy has weakened me.
The most common side effect is pain around the injection site, and a sore arm... By heck did they under-emphasise that.... I'm in complete agony (at the risk of sounding like a complete baby). J has been peeling me off the ceiling everytime Little Man comes near my arm. I have a huge red lump, and it generally aches. I also can't sleep on it, and it happens to be the side I sleep on. :'(
Another less common side effect is nausea... and even more rarely actual vomiting, and guess what... yep I've got them... GREAT!
My biggest fear though is that it harms Dot, and I've been so anxious about movements etc.... but I'm sure everything is fine. :)

LITTLE MAN'S VIRAL INFECTION is near enough gone, and he will be back in school on Monday! As it'll be time to go shopping. :) Christmas soon.... WOOP WOOP!

I don't think there's anything really important left, I have a mw appt in the morning, so I'll write that up tomorrow.

Other than that, good night and God bless.
