I am here......just. Have been in hospital all week after dh thought he had lost me. Last Sunday night I was feeling really off and just not there. During the night I got up to get a drink of water to try and feel better and next thing I knew dh was sitting by my side in casualty at the hospital. Turns out I caught a staph infection at the hospital when I gave birth to Pheonix. A huge abscess had grown in my bikini line (which I thought was an infected ingrown hair) and was full of poison. Well it burst internally and as you can guess I was in a bad way. They had to pump me full of antibiotics via drip and surgically drain it. It is so painful and labour now seems like a breeze painwise. Sorry to be so graphic but it was full of black gunk that smelt so bad, never smelt anything so bad in my life. Now I am on massive doses of antibiotics that have given me severe thrush so here I am having a whinge and so not a happy camper.
Better lift the spirits of this post now.
Pheonix is doing great. Only thing bothering me is that the specialist at the childrens hospital has put her on solids already. She only has rice cereal with pears but I feel it is way too early. The screaming has totally stopped since though. As of 10 days ago she weighs 11lb 13 and 58 cms. She is growing so fast. She is sleeping from 8-9pm until 6-7am everynight now.
I have had a quick look at everyones websites and all I can say is WOW the babies are all looking so beautiful. I havent updated mine yet I need to find a program that will reduce the photos as I keep getting error messages saying that the pic is too big. Does anyone know of a good one?
My older 2 kids are away with their grandparents so its a bit easier to recouperate.
