Hi everyone. Been trying to jump on for ages but a little busy �� I did do a quick BA though.

So in love with how perfect our homebirth went and our new little man. I will hopefully get the birth story done while it is so fresh.

**ladybirdflies** · May 31st, 2015, 07:06 PM

Yay I was wondering when you would post in here Kazzo... xxx

**Kazzo** · May 31st, 2015, 07:53 PM

I have been trying to get to the laptop for days, gave up and quickly posted on my phone, like I am now ��.

Looks like Princess Kate didn'thave a homebirth after all.

How are you going Kazzo? Did I hear that bubs ended up in SCN? That can be a really stressful time. We had a beautiful homebirth, and then 9 days in SCN. Hospital is not where a homebirth mama wants to be! How is he now?

**HotI** · June 19th, 2015, 07:39 AM

Love to you Kazzo.

**boomba** · July 1st, 2015, 07:05 AM

Congratulations Boomba

DS is doing so much better now, thanks for asking Turledove. Your so right about hospital been the last place to want to be after a wonderful birthing experience. DS has spent more time in hospital than all my kids combined.
We still don't know what happened to DS. We were very lucky to get him to the hospital when we did, we could have faced a very different outcome even by waiting a couple of hours. His sodium levels were so high they were worried about brain damage and his blood sugar were so low and he was classed as septic. He had milk jaundice that was not to bad but treated too. He had urates in his urine even though he kept weeing. He also lost a lot of weight very quickly. Thankfully all testing they have done has come back clear, even though I would have liked answers the main thing is he is getting better. Our biggest issue is getting weight on him now. It has been a very slow road with steps forward followed by steps back. This week has been good though so I am hoping we are over the hurdle and from here on out his weight goes up.

**Bella29** · July 28th, 2015, 10:07 PM

Hi all, long time no see for me, congrats and commiserations to Boomba and Cricket. I'm pretty sure I cannot keep up, but just wanted to touch bases after an incredibly busy year for me. Xx. Love to you all

**turtledove** · August 25th, 2015, 02:22 PM

Congrats Boomba! Can't wait to read the birth story.

Hi Bella, lovely to hear from you. Hope you're enjoying your little people!

I'm so sorry to hear that Kazzo. That's almost exactly what happened to our little guy. Amazing homebirth, then by day 3 constant screaming, didn't sleep more than 20 mins at a time. Lots of wet nappies, urinates. By day 5 lost 16%. Transferred to hospital. My milk hasn't come in (I was so proud if managed to pump 1.5mL... No one told me babies need more than that!) they have him a BIG bottle, he went into shock and they couldn't arouse him. IV, feeding tube, a million blood tests and ultra sounds and a CT scan (torture chamber). High sodium, low sugar. They thought it was diabetes insipidus, in the end they put it down to a leaky kidney that "healed up on its own." We're thanking God for the miracle.

But yeah, it's hard. I hope you had a great support network, someone to help with the big kids, cook meals and do laundry. Hugs!

**Cricket** · September 4th, 2015, 08:05 AM

Hello again all! I'm nervous to say it, but I think I'm joining you again.

BFP earlier this week, but it's been crazy here with sick kids, sick DH, and I was sick last week too.

I'm pretty apprehensive about how this will go, after two losses in a row, but I'm really hoping and praying this one is staying with us.

Also - what has happened to the forum? It's so quiet here!

**Cricket** · September 8th, 2015, 12:05 AM

And I guess it's goodbye again now. I was just starting to wrap my mind around the idea of being pregnant again and getting excited about it and I started to cramp and bleed.

This doesn't get any easier.
