Babies Born April 16th - 30th 2008 #1

Zennie I've been getting lower back pain on and off and have had days when my scar area is tender - never evn thought that it could be about AF. Not looking forward to it especially now that you've mentioned scar pain. We are like you Sharon take the risk but haven't had any need to do HPTs other than the two times we have planned to have children. DH would say we don't do it often enough for anything to happen . In fact it wasn't until 1 week before 3 months after Greer was born that we DTD and yes it was great, want to do it again soon, if only I weren't tired all the time.

Sharon I know exactly what you mean about getting upset because the DS isn't doing what you ask. I wish all I did was cry when it happens to me, instead I yell and feel really bad afterwards. I took explain if you did what Mummy asks you to she wouldn't growl at you. My DS is just short of 3, so he gets away with his cuteness most of the time and the moments end with "Mummy you not growl me evergen OK!" I'm glad that I only have the odd day where the tears flow, but can understand where you are at as I had that when DS was 16 months old - more from work stress than PND - but the slightest thing would set me off. Monday was like that for me this week.

We had a bad night last night, I think Greer was having trouble breathing through her nose, she woke so often, that I didn't even wake up to DH making his lunch in the morining which I ususally do.

Must go and clean the house today as yesterday was a write off with the dentist appointment.

Grubi We are exactly the same, we NEVER seem to go to bed at the same time and once either of us are asleep god help the other person if they try to wake us up we've managed to sneak a couple of 'morning glories' in since Oliver was born and that's all

I have to try and do some housework today too, have my uncle and aunt coming down tomorrow and my house looks like a tornado has gone through, at least Oliver is being a good boy at the moment, he woke briefly from his sleep but I put his dummy back in and he has gone back off to sleep which will mean he will be there for at least 1.5 hours

hey girls!

Geez! I havnt been in here in months I think so apoligies apoligies! I have been pretty unwell and so busy with both my 3.yo daughter and bubby Ryley too.

Just a quick stop by to see how we all are going and to see how those who had c sections are coping? I am okay, my doc thinks I have an absces now the pain comes and goes and theres something that keeps swelling up on the inside all the time above my scar. Does anyone know anything of these after c sect's how they happen and how they get rid of them? I am full on freaking cause I still dont want anyone anywhere near my tummy!

Bet we have loads of laughing babies and busy bodies now!

everyone thinks ryley is 6-8 months old from how big he is! unbeleivable! he was a rediculous 10 lbs 13 oz when born but he is sooooo long now people honestly dont beleive me when I tell them he's only just over 3 months! lol oh well.

thanks in advance!

Can someone let me know if the link in my signature works to take you to the photos that I've loaded. Tried to use some of Sarah's tips, but she is grumpy today, so only two came up, need to work on the exposure - its overcast here today.

Danielle Welcome back. for the c-sect issues. I have pretty well recovered from my c-section. There doesn't seem to be the same level of feeling in my tummy - could just be the stretchmarks but it feels different in some spots. I can sense strong scar-tissue on one side where it used to burn. I have had days of pain in the last week and get a crampingstretched muscle kind of pain in my right hip. It's all turned me right off the thought of ever having a third child.

Sharon I'd love to get an hour and a half sleep out of Greer, I'm lucky to get 20-30 minutes at a time. I'm about to put her down now, lets see how long htis one lasts, I only got 20 minutes last time.
And 24 minutes this time

grubbi: thanks! Yeah Im not too bad just pain comes and goes in my belly going for an ultrasound tuesday to check for an absces sounds so gross! I would love more kids but hubby dont want no more now so guess we're done.

Sharon: I agree wif grubbi, my little guy doesnt sleep for an hour and half! he sleeps 20-30 mins at a time hes been asleep for longer than that now so fingers crossed.\

For all of you who had big bubbas... are they feeding frquently? Ryley changed when I took him off the booby and onto formula he was actually full for a change and didnt feed every 30 mins hehe little bugger. But now.... hes waking every 3 hrs round the clock... he was sleeping through! I think its toothy pain combined with little holes in his tummy. So we have started giving him the weeniest ammount of farex really milked down with his milk, he loves it doesnt bother his tummy (must be cause its so weak) but he always wants more so I have to fill the rest of him up with milk.

Are our babies getting cranky yet? maybe hardish gums? my 1st started teething between 3-4 months hehe the joys I think I get more upset cause I cant fix it for him! poor little things.

Gotta go Im on call hes awake and grumbly.... take care

Sharon: Oh dear, I have had moments like you and Grubi which have brought me to tears, and DS#1 standing their asking why mummy crying. I know if I were there I would have handle Jordan and told him to get him line for you. ATM if a stanger tells Landon (DS#1) to do something he will. But if mummy ask's he just doesnt listen. It's good to hear that at least one mum wasn't complete useless and came to help you...

Grubi: Gee, I'm glad I don't have your denits bill. I hate owning people money. I would just rater pay them. Never went into debt until I meet DH and he only in it until his crop money comes in and then hes out and in front. It just really freaks me out paying/owing larges amounts of money, just incase something happens and get bad crop we have to flip the bill.

Zennie: I remember my fir st AF last month. I thought DH was going to have to take me to hospital, as I thought I was going to DIE. I never get pains when I get mine. Speaking of which it is still MIA... Please come back where ever you are AF...

Danielle: Wyatt was a biggen, and he doesn't feed every 30 mintues. When he wakes up he get his boobie, them when he goes back down for nap. He is sleeping much better in his cot during the day now. Am getting 3 solid 1-2hr naps which is great. I plan to clean house and get shower during morning nap. Second nap, me and Landon play together (playdo, cooking, painting, sandpit or bubbles) Third nap, is my time to check my ebay and here. Oh, and catch up on my Hollywood gossip of net. I know I don't have a life...

Well went to community house today landon only little boy in child care there, but he had fun. Me I almost fell asleep in training session. Get this is was about how to deal with diffuluct children and their behaviors. Its called 1-2-3 Magic, same principles as counting and giving them the warning, but will alot less talk. Seem to be working on Landon. We cover tamturasm in public, car and while U on phone. Will see how it goes. I got DVD of teacher to show DH so we can be consitant together.

Well it's raining here today, so am bit cold. I better get going and put some more wood on the fire, to get it going.

Sarah I just wish a dentist had told me about what I was doing to my teeth 10 years ago so I could have just gotten a mouth guard for nights instead of having this bill that needs to be paid upfront in total. I could handle it if it were in smaller installments a lot easier. It's like $2 here and there you don't notice until you add it all up.
Just got letter from bank saying interest rate has gone up again an kindly part with another $21.60 per month please. That makes ot even harder to deal with as we had to add the $44000 to the mortgage to be able to afford to pay it, wasn't going to do it on a 5 year loan the dentist gave me paperwork for, interest rate was ridiculous.
GTG DS is home and wants a mookshik - milkshake. might have one myself -
