Holly's got her 7th middle ear infection, it co-incided with her chicken pox 18mth injection on Wed, had her at GP access with a temp of 40.1 Wed night, we've had to give both nurofen & panadol to keep fever down to around 38. They looked in her ears but put it down to a side-effect of the vaccine. Fri had her at my GP's & was diagnosed & given antibiotics. The fever was noticeable around 1hr after which is too quick for a reaction & the injection site looked fine. Poor darlin, but she wasnt pulling her ears at all which is why i didnt suspect it. Fever today has been hanging between 37.7 & 38.1 without panadol or nurofen. Oh & apparently most get a few lesions/blisters around the injection site 5-21days afterwards & apparently they are contagious, so to keep them covered with a patch so Lanah doesnt catch them, yikes.
Lanah has woken anywhere between 2-5am the last 3 nights, maybe coz of feeds bein messed about with tending to Holly.
U copied n pasted that didn't u shell! LOL. Not good bout the EI tho. Sarah plays with her ears infection or not so it's not an indicator for me.
Swimming lesson today. Sarah is getting better at jumping in the pool from standing instead of sitting so hopefully she can move up to the next class soon.
Nixon has been sick here too. He had 2 ear infections about 3 weeks ago and swollen glads, he was on anti biotics and got slightly better but by the start of this week started getting sick again. Now he has a cold, the cough, snotty nose etc.
In 3 weeks he has lost close to 1kg from lack of eating. He is however still in the normal weight range thank god.
He slept through last night but the night before he was up every couple of hrs screaming the house down. we've never seen him carry on like the way he did. he worked himself up so much kicking and screaming neiher of us could calm him down.
just trying to get him all better before this bub arrives.
when Nix had the ear infections his temps were between 38.5 - 40 also and had trouble getting them down.
so we didnt take him to swimming today, needed a break from it.
Sarah- how has Emma been going since she got home from hospital?
lexy finally slept through the night again last night after 4 nights of broken sleep - I have taken her dummy off her at night (still has cuddly), cause the little monster was breaking into her room & grabbing it out of her cot during the day LOL...
Nic, Emma is doing really well. she has an appt with the dietician on thurs n the paed on fri. looks nice n chubby tho. Sarah had every bug under the sun in the last few weeks of my pg so i can empathise with how u r feeling @ the mo'. He's just getting it all out of the way now n will b fine when the new bub arrives.
Mitch, Enjoy Yourselves!!!!!! It is the best holiday you will get in a long time!!!
I'm not looking forward to thursday morning. I'm getting the implanon put in and the needle is HUGE!!! it's enough to scare a bloke covered in tattoo's off needles i reckon! Hopefully this contraception actually works for me!
Good news on Emma. How do u manage swimming lessons with bub too Ali? Do u go when DH is with u? I've been really slack & havent taken Holly to swimming lessons for ages.
Bugger on Nixon getting sick too Nickers. It sux to not be able to make them better.
Hi Everyone!!!! I have been missing for a few months - just been sooo flat out!!
I will have to read back and try and find out what has been happening.
I'm sure afew of you would have had your 2nd baby by now. Still no pregnancy here for me!!! started trying but no luck so far)
i will read up on everything and see what i can see!
Charlie is a little devil - he talks really well puts whole sentences together now like "mummy, were daddy" and stuff like that - he is begining to get to be a handfull though he has a temper on him ( gets it from me!!! )
anyway i will takl more later after i have read everything!
hey Jacci! great to hear from you and congrats on TTC hope it happens for you soon!
bub bub hasnt arrived yet, total opposite this one is the calm relaxed placid boy i think lol!
Charlie sounds like he is very advanced in his speaking. Nixon is such a chatter box but i really cannot understand majority of it!
Just popping in quickly to say Hi and let you all know that we are still hanging around, just really busy trying to get the company organised so DH can run it while I am busy with no2. for a few weeks when it comes,
will keep in touch when possible,
hope all the sick bubs get better...
Sarah has graduated to the waterbabies advanced class as of today!! she much prefers floaties to the tube! Still lots of babble with a few actual words here and there.
Em is on normal formula now! she has caught up to where the Paed wants her and only has to see the dietician if she is under 5kg @ 12 weeks! she's becoming a bit of a guts!
Jacci, it will happen just when it's ready. don't stress about it as it will just make it harder. r u on FF?
just a quicky to let you know we arrived home safely yesterday.
Tyron is well, he went straight to sleep in his bassinett and i kept checking on him waiting for him to wake for a feed!
I will update more over the coming days just getting some things unpacked etc but we have been having extreme feeding difficulties with little Tyron, he basically refuses my breast, i have had 3 Lac consultants, speech therapists, been on the phone to ABA consultants, nothing is seeming to be working. Im not ready to give up yet but know its going to be extremley difficult at home with nixon aswell.
I hear u on feeding issues Nic!!!!!!!!!!! REALLY hope he figures it out, don't want him in hossy like Em was!
WE R POTTY TRAINING!!!!! Sarah has figured out how to take her nappy off, need i say more, i'm sure u can imagine, so the time has come for undies in the not too distant future. She did her 1st potty poo this evening and got heaps of praise n sum dried apricots 4 a treat.
Em is on AR formula, normal strength, so spilling less and taking more. Paed does not want to see her again, neither does dietician unless she is under 5 kg @ 12 weeks.
oh wow potty training! hope it goes smoothly, i guess patience is the key there, wow Nixon is no where near ready to be potty trained, he has learnt he can take his nappy off also.
i was going to ask u about your feeding issues, was it that Em would not latch onto you or what was it?
Im expressing atm i try putting him on each time, he manages a couple of sucks which is an improvement from last week.
Congrats Nickers, hope the feeding gets better. Will have to check out ur pics now.
Ooh Joy, any day now, hope it's a quick & easy labour.
Fantastic news on Em & Sarah, Ali.
