Quick update

Well, still ill. We all trouped down to the doctors today and are now all on antibiotics. Hopefully this will finally get us over being sick. Poor little Rosie, she's six weeks old tomorrow and has spent five weeks ill. She hasn't had any fever but is a snotty little thing. The doc said she had some fluid on her lungs too but that it was nothing to worry about and the antibiotics would clear it right up. J and I have bronchitis and Tobes has a chest infection. So exhausting.

In more exciting news, J and I are being featured in a British magazine! I'm going to wait and see how it turns out before I broadcast the details but it's a glossy monthly women's magazine and the article is about lasting love (ah bless). We answered various questions and a specialist gave her feedback on our relationship. It was actually all very positive but some of the questions were about s-e-x so we want to see exactly what makes it into the article before we tell everyone to go and look for it. We've got the photo shoot on Friday and I spoke to the magazine's art director today and gave her our clothing sizes. They're doing hair, make-up, styling, the whole bit. Lord knows what we're going to look like. I still feel like a heffalump after the pregnancy but I'm hoping they can work their magic and make me look svelte.

Last Friday Tobes had his nativity play at school. Toby was in the Male Choir and wore red trousers, a white shirt and a Santa hat. He did very well though about halfway through the production he stood on stage, looked at us out in the audience and said very loudly 'I'm tired!' He had had a big morning. Of course, I made a complete idiot of myself and cried my way through a stack of tissues. It was just so amazing to be watching my little boy in a school play while my little girl slept in her Daddy's arms next to me. In that moment all my dreams had come true. So, so happy right now.

Is this magazine commonly sold in plain brown wrappers?
