Hi girls,
Kris, yeah, the roadworks suck. But I guess thats what we get for living on a main road. I just saw the flashing lights through the blinds again so I guess they're back at it tonight, I hope they don't work right outside our place again.
I'm hoping it's the way bubs is laying with the measurements...or at least that he slows down in his growth!I really don't want a whopper baby! He's posterior at the moment and breech so I don't know if that makes a difference? My bump is a different shape to what it was with Lil. I have an antenatal appt tomorrow so we'll see if he's moved or not. I have been trying to shift him with sitting properly and stuff.
Jen, mmmmm, mushroom risotto...dddrrrrooooolllll...you guys eat such delicious food! We just had ham and cheese toasties. DH made them cause I refused to cook tonight, LOL! I'm having a lazy day. Besides the fact that we have no food , its been 2 1/2 wks since we went grocery shopping!!
With Beau's bits, it could be the ham/bacon. Maybe he's allergic? Has he had it before? Did he eat/drink anything else thats new? Is he teething sometimes that can cause nappy rash, Lily gets it a bit when she's teething.
It sounds like nappy rash, though it could be thrush too. Does he have any kind of discharge (sorry if tmi!) if he does its probably thrush. If you can let him run around in the nud for a bit. Pump the heater up and let him go nudey after a bath maybe. I did that for Lil tonight and she absolutely loved it!! Then slather on some barrier cream like bepanthen or something. Only use the cortisone sparsely or not at all to make sure it's not anything serious. Change him often and wipe him down well (but gently!!) every time you change him, maybe just use wet washers maybe with a little sorbelene on it, avoid any drying chemicals on his bum, like soap, wipes... make sure everywhere is dry- his penis, under his testes...when you put another nappy on him. If it isn't gone or getting better by the end of the day it might be thrush or another kind of infection, go to the dr.
No we don't have another room for bubs. Him and Lil will have to share for a while until we can get a house. Though he'll be in our room until he's one (like Lil) or sleeping through the night. I can't wait til we can buy a house too, but thats not for another few yrs!
With B squeeling, it's pretty normal for him to do it, but to stop him, try not to give him what he wants til he says a 'word'. Anything will do, though if he can say what it is try to wait til he says that. Though if it's just too painful and frustrating for you both then give it to him and say what it is a few times, like 'drink, ta, drink, drink...'. Lily has started to squeel for things too and she doesn't get anything (most times!) til she says what she wants, or she says 'this'.
As for us, well I am coughing like there's no tomorrow my chest and throat are sore from coughing, ugh! I think I have a chest infection! Lil's still snotty and I think she's teething again, grrr!! I can't wait til she gets all of her teeth! She's headbutting things, including me, which she does if she's in pain usually with teething, though she might have a headache too from her cold. We had an atrocious night's sleep again, though she was at mums cause we went to a wedding and I came to mums at midnight. She'd already woken three times, and stayed awake for an hour and a half, til 11pm! She woke as soon as I got there, then every hour til 4am, then thankfully slept til 7.15am. I am buggered, but DH is going to let me sleep all night cause he got to sleep all night last night, at home mind you by himself for an uninterrupted nights sleep....I don't remember what that is like! I don't think I could sleep a night through anymore even if I tried.
Anyway gonna go and have a shower to go to bed. Hope you are all well....night night!!
ETA, Hi Erin and Mel, will catch up later!
