12 Days of Christmas Competition - Day 7. 


We are now half way through my 12 Days of Christmas Competitions but there's still plenty of time to enter them all! Today's prize is a personalised Disney Princess Doll from I Just Love It. As mentioned in so many of my posts in the past I'm a really big fan of personalised gifts and I think these dolls are amongst my favourite. There are multiple Disney princesses to chose from over on the website; Elsa, Ana, Cinderella, Belle and Snow White, all of which can be personalised with a name of your choice. They cost just £22.99 and I think one of these dolls would make such a lovely Christmas present this year.

I'm not going to beat around the bush, this week has been awful. A day or so after Noah's 3rd birthday party he started to feel unwell with cold like symptoms and through the week they just got worse and worse. Whenever he gets a particularly bad cold it affects his breathing and he needs to use his inhaler. None of the usual medications such as calpol or neurofen was helping so we booked him to see the GP on Wednesday and as usual they said it was viral and sent us on our way. We continued with the inhaler and the medicine but by Thursday he was feeling even worse. His temperature was sky high and we couldn't control it, he was coughing, shaking, lethargic, being sick, struggling to breathe so we took him to A&E as the GP hadn't helped at all. As always A&E was a waste of time. When we arrived his temperature was extremely high and so was his heart rate so we were ushered into a cold room and Noah was given some ibuprofen. We were then left for two whole hours without seeing a soul and I think they'd actually forgotten about us! When the nurse eventually came to check him she listened to his chest, checked his ears and throat and sent us on our way, again nothing. No explanation to why his heart rate was so fast and why we couldn't control his temperature. I left feeling quite agitated as I knew something wasn't right. Come Friday Noah was even worse! His temperature was even higher, he was coughing until he was sick and his breathing was extremely fast. I'd already taken him to see the GP and to A&E and they hadn't been any help whatsoever so I felt a little at a loss about what to do. Nick called 111 and after describing Noah's symptoms they actually sent an ambulance! When the ambulance arrived they took a look at him and said we'd done the right thing as his body was working so hard to breathe so they put on the sirens and took us to the nearest hospital. I was so glad to be finally taken seriously as Mother's intuition is always right and you cannot mess around when it comes to your child's heath. Our experience at this hospital was so much better. They explained every check that they were doing and finally came to the conclusion that he didn't just have a viral infection but a bad case of Tonsillitis too! My poor Noah was trying to fight two different infections at once and it was no wonder he was struggling! I still can't believe that this wasn't picked up at the two times we saw a Doctor previously but at least it has now now he has his antibiotics. I'm hoping next week will be a better week for us.

What have you been up to this week?

Noah's 3rd Birthday



On Saturday 12th November Noah turned three! I still can't quite get my head around it as I still call him my baby. I suppose he'll always be my baby though, no matter how old he is. I also can't believe how fast these past three years have flown by! It's such a cliche but they really have. A part of me feels like it's only been two minutes since he was born but then the other part of me struggles to remember what life was like before him. He's without a doubt the best thing that's ever happened to me and I'm proud of him on a daily basis.

To mark the occasion we decided to have a little family party for him at our house like we've done for every one of his birthday now. It's become quite a nice tradition as it's not only great to be able to use our family home in this way but it's nice to be able to get both sides of the family together too.

We had a buffet party and an Avengers cake which Noah chose, of course! It was nice to keep it simple as Noah was so busy greeting all his family and friends and opening his presents that there wouldn't have been much time for anything else. Overall he had a wonderful day and hasn't stopped talking about his birthday since! He's one very happy three year old!

12 Days of Christmas Competition - Day 5. 



On the 5th day of my 12 Days of Christmas competitions I'm giving away a copy of Santa's Magic Key from Little Tiger Press. This book is bound to be popular for children of all ages, as long as they still believe in Santa. It's a lovely Christmas story which includes a magic key which you can hang on your door so that Santa can come to visit, through the door and not down the chimney! A great way to start a new Christmas tradition with your family.
