Andrew and Karla's Place

So it’s been a while. I’ve been home for just over a week with Whooping Cough as per my last update. Back at work now and just getting up to speed once again with the thousand projects and normal support work.

As normal everyone wants a piece and their things done first.

Seem much better now, not coughing all of the time and not so tired from being ill.

Our plans for the Brisbane trip are coming along, flights have been booked, car hire has been done and work seems to be still letting me go as well. It should be good, to catch up with friends and family. Jessie is getting more excited as the time gets closer as she will now have her own seat on the plane. Plus she will also hopefully get to see her Grand Dad who works with cranes. Every time she sees one she goes “My Grand Dad he works with cranes, He’s your Daddy.”. It will also be the first time everyone expect for Mum says Sophie, she’s much bigger now and is able to walk around in a fashion. Plus we also get to meet Mark and Tasha’s latest addition to their family Charlie.

We’ll be there for Karla’s, Jim’s and Nanna’s birthday this year, hopefully I’ll be able to take Karla out for Diner or something for hers.

Got a call from the local GP the other night at home at around 8pm, not a usually thing. Apparently the last of my blood tests had come back and I had come back with a positive for Whooping Cough.

I was already on the right type of drugs to help treat this anyway, but it was good to know why I had been coughing for the past number of weeks. Also means that everyone else inf the house also has to go on antibiotics as well just in case. Both Karla and I were immunised when Sophie had her firsts shots at 2 months.

So I’m home and on drugs until the end of the week.

What a week, half woke up this morning thinking it was Saturday morning and no need to jump out of bed at 6 to start the day. This little dream didn’t last long though.

We’ve had Jessie and Sophie sick this week, both Jessie and Sophie were home on Wednesday and on Thursday Jessie was home, so Karla and I did half days with Jessie getting a train ride in to the city to see her Mum’s building and then a ride back home with Dad.

She was so tired that she only wanted to go to sleep in the back of the car and didn’t want her lunch until waking up after a 3 hour sleep.

She really enjoyed the train both in and out and looked very cute in her black coat and beanie.

Later on we went to collect Sophie from day care and Karla got home later after working back trying to get some order in to her work.

Not sure what is planned for this weekend so far, Saturday is freeish I think, Sunday will have swimming if everyone is well enough and Monday who knows.

If your out and about have a great one and remember to stay safe on the roads.

I like my new lounge

Sophie got to see her new lounge last night for the first time. Karla and Jessie got the lounge on Sunday when they went shopping. We’ve been meaning to get one for some time as her Nana from Brisbane sent us the money to get her one for her Birthday this year.

Sophie is talking more these days, she clearly says Jessica and calls her Mum Karla, Dad she has been saying for ages. Plus a few other words when she wants to but with a sister who is never quiet she doesn’t get much of a chance.

She has been taking more and more steps lately and dancing is another favourite thing she likes to do.
