Susie, with Holly's we were recommended 2 types of pkt cake that are cheap as chips & very yummy. A lady in our mums group has a friend make all their cakes & she told her the secret: buttercake pkt mix in 1 of 2 brands: savings brand (coles) or black & gold (eg: iga or corner stores). We just used pink icing & rainbow speckles (pink/yellow/mauve/green mixed together) all over it & some around the edge of the plate & a 'Happy Birthday' white plastic doo dad with a candle in the middle of it. Tried the template but failed miserably, long story, MIL made icing without reading method & was soooo thick, hehe.
Well Holly has a (suspected) blocked ear canal & kept us awake with her crying/screaming most of Sat night. Took her to a GP that was open, some ear drops, her temp kept going up, in the end even with panadol, so 8:40pm got some Nurofen from friends down st, they had a spare bottle, so saved DH the treck to 1 of the 3 chemists that were open til 9pm Easter Sun. Last night was first night I didn't give her anything & she cried only about 2-3 times but went back to sleep, so she's on the mend.
Jacci & Nickers, I was opposite, the last 2hrs (ish) of contractions were excrutiating to me, i was in tears & begging for pain relief, got peth, gas wasnt helping, pethadine just made me drowsy & slightly took edge of it, then finally when got epi (anaesth was in surgery) it was bliss, well bub wasnt lined up properly & was breech. I just have this gut feeling that this one will be breech too (was at 19wk scan but still very early) & finding hard to breath in bed sometimes when lie certain ways etc, just like with holly as her head was pushing into my ribs. Will have to wait & c.
