I've been worried about Hannah for the past few days. Although she still has plenty of energy and is eating normally, she is significantly more itchy than normal, is pale with dark circles under her eyes, and her poos are foul smelling with mucus in. I took her to the doctor yesterday, and he thinks she probably has a virus as her glands are swollen in her neck, but he sent her for bloods and we have taken a stool sample in today to check for anything yucky. Bloods should be back Thursday. This was the first time that Hannah was really negative about having her blood taken (I don't want to be brave....it made my heart ache) and that she has cried significantly. Probably because she is finally getting old enough to remember what happened last time, as we have been lucky enough for her bloods to be fairly infrequent.
On a more positive note, I meant to update back in December that Hannah excelled at her 2.5 yr development check. The health visitor could not believe that this was the same child whose file she read before the appointment. When Hannah showed she can talk in sentences and could name the colours of the blocks as well as stack them, she said we may as well move straight to the 3 year check! Hannah is 90th centile for height and 50th for weight, so physical development is going great too.
Also, Hannah is starting two mornings of pre-school at the end of February...I'm hoping she takes to it as she can be a bit clingy. I think she will enjoy it if she can get over the fact that mummy is going to leave her there.....
Will update later this week when we have some results back.

Hope Hannah's feeling better by now! Though sometimes viruses can take 3 weeks to recover from.
Hugs to all,
