Oh lordy. E has been poorly for 3 weeks now. It started with a dry cough that kept her (and us) up all night, night after night. This lasted for two weeks and then, last weekend, she came up in a rash. We took her to the doctor who said it might be measles, it might be scarlet fever, it was probably just a random virus and then gave us antibiotics! Absolute rubbish! The rash has gone now but the cough is worse and she also appears to be full of cold now, too. She can barely breathe when she lies down and is such a sad little baby..... off her food, the occasional temperature, tired but can't sleep, crying a lot....

In addition, she's teething (she biting crazily on her toys) and she has recently started moving around in her crib - cue freak outs when she rolls onto her front or spins round, banging her head on the cot bars. She desperate to crawl - I don't think that's helping her sleep any, either. Then yesterday, she was so clingy (very unlike her) I got out the wonder weeks book and sure enough she is in a stormy period. Sigh.

I don't know what the point of this post is. I guess I just needed to sound off. I'm so, so tired. DH is also really tired and we are getting snappy with each other. I really, really need her to get well now. Sigh.
