G has now come down with D's conjunctivitis. I am amused to hear Canadians refer to it as 'Pink Eye'. This is a very common thing in N. America, people referring to various illnesses / diseases in simplistic terms instead of their actual title (mostly I think they don't even know the actual names!). Babies are taken for 'a needle' (with the parent not knowing what it's even for), there're also non specific 'allergies' (hayfever, pollen allergies in the Summer), and many others whose names obviously now I'm writing about them, escape my useless pregnant brain.
I popped out this afternoon to get some maternity t-shirts, and successfully came home with 3 nice new ones. I think if I can find 1 more pair of decent Capri's I should be sorted for the duration.
It's about 10c outside today and I'm dressed for summer, despite a chill in the air. If I am in the car, outside of the wind, I need the air conditioning on. I think this internal heater of mine is making me several degrees hotter than everyone else.
I managed to sleep very well last night without the aid of the anti-histamines. I went to bed quite late after a busy day, and slept in until 10.30am this morning. Fanntastic. Hopefully I can break that bad habit of taking those pills because they're certainly not helping my arm stop itching.
