Well we’re all recovered – thankfully and I have no idea whether it was or it wasn’t…but then I think no one’s going to know anymore because they’re not even testing! But you’re doing all the right stuff anyway – and what’s 5lbs anyway?? It took me a hell of a lot longer to shift all my weight!! xxxxx

My mother keeps phoning to give me the latest swine flu stats. I am coming over in August armed with wipes and whatever for the flight. It’s the 8 hour flight that’s giving me the most concern. Other than that there’s only so much you can do. I have visions of not being allowed back into the US.

I think you’re very wise.

I’ve stopped my boys from drinking at public water fountains and have nagged them to death about washing their hands regularly.

Now I carry hand sanitizer as well. Every bit helps, I’m sure.

Good work and good work out – I think parenting is always the give and take of choices.
I have very little immune system myself so work on supplements too as I prepare to walk all over the UK

I am going to hope for the joy of adventure to keep me healthy on the plane trip..I am not worried otherwise…but little babes well precaution is good.

You are doing the right thing…avoid the cuddle giving neighbor at all costs.

@Rachel: Without wanting to show off (but grinning from one ear to the other): little L is sleeping through. From 7PM to 7AM. I just posted this post later than I thought…

@Mommy Words: I only now realised that you have 2 children so close to each other in age and the 3rd on the way… People like you always make me feel so whimpishly. How do you manage???

@Yummy Mammy: I would pass it on to you, if this would be of any help Honestly, I hope you stay healthy, you will need all your energy to kick those batballs!

@Zooarchaeologist: Bleurgh. In the true sense of the word. I can graphicly imagine the scene. Fingers crossed that we don’t have to deal with either of them.

I heard the other day that its better to get it in the summer if you are going to get it than in the winter. I have to admit im resigned to the inevitable. But I cant blame you for keeping little L away. Isn’t it annoying when all these strangers want to touch them? I really dont like it and can be quite rude.
From experience teh one to avoid like the absolute plague is the winter vomiting bug (norovirus). OMG that was like hell on earth. Picture my hubby in the bath with toddler boy puking up grapes everywhere. I havent taken him to the soft play where I think he got it since…
