Second guessing point

I'm at second guessing point.
See, I had Margaret at pathology today.
She had a sweat chloride test and bloods done. I also had to give them 2 fecal samples, and apparently, 24 hours worth of urine tests. They can be happy with one urine sample (which I'll be giving them tomorrow), and the second fecal sample is still to be delivered.
Anyways, crux of the story.
She screamed blue murder when they were doing the blood test. I felt so guilty for pushing them, now.
And now, I'm asking myself is there anything I could have done differently?
What if I hadn't worked up until 37 weeks?
What if I hadn't worked in a pub?
What if...? (getting the idea?)

*sigh*

Margaret has been referred to a paediatrician

Earliest the paed has any openings is February.
Something needs to be done about rural health in AU.

I took Margaret back to the GP today. She's had a bit of a cough and vomit thing again.
She's still weighing in too small (still less than 6 kg, and she's nearly 9 months old :/ )
I've got a referral for bloods, urine and stool samples, and they want to do a pertussis swab. Its not likely to be pertussis (she's been immunised), but still... better safe than sorry, I guess.
I've also got a referral for a paediatrician. This paed is connected to an immunologist, speech therapist, and dietitian, and even better, is totally covered by medicare.
I'll keep you updated.

I need sleep...
I need for Katharine and Bella to go to sleep before 10pm, each night. Though, in fairness, they were asleep at 9 pm last night, probably because of Earth Hour.
I might just need to think about that...

So, first post

I'm using this because I'm sick of the pretentious poseur-ish "I have more friends than you" that is LJ.
I like this because it doesn't seem to be as much of a popularity contest.

Anyways, better let you know, already had drama related to this blog.
Its already been blocked once fore being spam. And given this is the first post, that either makes me teh ubergeek, or it means that bloggers spam detection software needs examining. ;)
