We are all very pleased that everything is now back to normal. Munchkin was very much his usual bouncy, active and mischievous self this morning. He's been getting better and better since the end of last week but today is a more 'normal' kind of day in lots of ways. It's very reassuring. Of course, he still has a runny nose - but hasn't everyone at the moment??
Hubby is off somewhere at work and with Munchkin being well and happy we went off together this morning to our usual Monday morning 'parent and toddler' group. It was good to catch up with everyone after the Christmas break. I think the group has already been running for two or three weeks but what with the PhD week and the croup we've been out of circulation. It was also good to get fresh air and exercise (we have got rid of the older of our two cars to save money so now have to compromise when hubby needs to get to different places for work) as I had no choice but to walk. It was good for Munchkin to get out and socialise and to play with other toys in a different place than our same old things inside the four walls we call home.
Another good thing is that he's now been napping for coming up to 2 hours - much needed rest for both of us!! I am starting to get a bit of that backache one gets when 'blossoming' to the extent of being 6 months or more into pregnancy. I do hope that he keeps on napping well until the next one is born.
In other news - the conservatory is still not quite finished off yet. I am starting to get a bit annoyed that the fitter hasn't managed to arrange to come back and finish off the last few little bits. We are using the conservatory, but we want to get it decorated so we can 'move in' properly and we can't arrange that until the actual building, etc. is properly finished off. Fingers crossed for it all being sorted by the end of the week so we can book in the decorator.
