Unwell baby boy

Jonathan's not been very well the last few days, the doctor reckons he has a tummy bug but I'm not too sure as he seems to feel worse as the day goes on, I'm wondering if I'm eating something that doesn't agree with him, spoke to the health visitor today and she asked me to keep note of everything that happens this evening eg. crying, nappies, feeds and sickness so that she can give me more advice. He gets to the point in the evenings where he will cry for at least a couple of hours, it's starting to really get me down, I'm fine during the day it's just in the evening the last couple of evenings I've ended up crying too hence why I asked the HV her advice.

On the plus side Jonathan is still putting on weight, he now weighs 7lb 12 so nearly 1lb weight gain since his birth which I am really happy about, it's great that he's put this weight on even though he is being sick a lot so at least he's some goodness out of it.

Tony went back to work Tuesday for 4 days before he is on holiday, it's been OK so far, I was quite worried but I think I'm coping fine.

fundraising

Why is it that when other people are raising money for charities they expect you to sponsor them but as soon as you try to do anything sponsored they don't respond.

Along with a few other people I'm losing weight to raise money for SANDS (Stillbirth and Neonatal Death Charity). It's an amazing cause and helps family and friends who have suffered the loss of a child. I don't want people to sponsor their who bank account but so far the only person who can be bothered is Tony. It's not as though it's difficult to sponsor me, it can be done on-line or I have a form they can fill in. I've messaged everyone on facebook but nothing.

I'm also wanting to do race for life in July with some family members but not sure if I'm going to get any sponsorship for 2 reasons, #1 the lack of interest in sponsoring me for SANDS and #2 it is close to the time I'm raising money for SANDS so will they get annoyed that I am asking for sponsorship so close to each other?

I really want to support both charities but it's so hard to support when others don't support your efforts. Those people are meant to be my friends and family!!
