Cool - I'll get out the balloons and streamers ;):
Squidipa - thats great - gotta love mums!!
Thanks everyone for your support! Again I am so glad that I have all of you here for support and understanding. Friends and family although supportive just don't understand the same way.
:hug: to Squidipa. You've proven them wrong before, you will prove them wrong again. And remember we are all here to help you through your 8 week milestone.
Mel - Thankyou for sharing. I wasn't aware that you were trying for VBAC, probably cos I was cut off from here when you joined our thread. I missed out on so much and I haven't read the beginning of this thread. What were your reasons for your c-sects?
And I so hear you on the sleep on Mummy thing!! Jett is doing the same. It makes it very difficult for me to do anything!! I just put him in his swing though and it seems to be doing the trick! Well it is after I put mittens on him cos his hands turned to ice!
Oops! I spoke too soon!
MT - first c-section was because I was uneducated and believed that I couldn't give birth naturally.:
Second c-section - went two weeks over (which is amazing for a VBAC) and had a wellbeing scan at 41 + 6 and said the placenta was deteriorating and that the baby was having to work 5 times as hard to get enough blood through the cord. OB said that the cord probably wouldn't survive a natural birth and since I couldn't be induced because of the risk of rupture - was better for c-section. So didn't really have a choice.
Needless to say - bring on the VBA2C for me!!!!!!! ;)
... can I just say YAY the Warriors :D
Have a fantastic weekend everyone.. for once it's not raining here so we can escape being indoors!
hi everyone and thanks for the welcomes and well wishes ... I am sure over time i will be able to post a few more personals and get to know you all ...
in the meantime will tell you about our little one's arrival .. i went for a routine check on the tues evening and got admitted to hospital that night with pre eclampsia ... on thursday they finished the 24 hour urine sample and combined with all results on blood pressure etc i had 600 + of protein when the limit was 300 ? So 2 lots of gel thursday night and friday morning my waters were broken. I laboured with the help of pethadine and gas for a couple of hours and then the contractions intensified however i started haemorraging on every contraction so was taken away for emergency c-sec and I found out yesterday at my 6 week check that the placenta started tearing off the wall hence the bleeding and that it could all happen again in pg #2 ... so I opted yesterday for an elective c-sec next time .... so yeah not what was planned at all but the main thing is both our little girl and I are healthy and safe and that is all that matters .... waking up in recovery to have to ask what you had is another thing all together !!
Anyway look forward to getting to know you all
Melsta
Mel - there must be something in the air - so many people I know are moving (or wanting to!! ;) )
Melsta - I'm sorry that you had a bad time during the delivery of your little girl, but you are both safe and healthy now, so that's a good thing! :hug:
Squidipa - yay for Josh's new suits ... I still haven't heard a peep out of my mum! :rolleyes:
CM4E - yay for your wedding dress fitting!! :cheer: Are you a bundle of nerves yet??
Big hellos to Vic, Kel, Leasha, Rachel, Pixie & Bear, Katti ... and anyone else I've missed :redface: ... some of you haven't been around for a while, hope all is well!
hello everyone,
I have to appologise I haven't read any posts Allegra and Cadence have been sooooo demanding lately plus we're trying to organise a major reno on our house a big yay and a massive holy cr@p. I hope you are all well and starting to get some goods nights of sleep.
we're doing well i'm still 100% breast feeding which is fantastic I have almost given up so many times. She's starting to fill out heaps and doesn't look too much like a new born.
I have a question about eye colour Allegra's are really blue i know babies have blue eyes when they're born but hers are ice blue. is everyones bub like this?
Hello everyone!!
Geez its been agges since I was last here, omg how slack am I but yeah been real busy with Kye with the whole wind scenario, so not cool. Oh and I think he's been a bit unsettled due to his 'operation' on wednesday aswell. Have been giving him childrens panadol to help. Hopefully it will be 'off' in a few days, going back for a checkup on Wednesday.
On the good side of things though, we had our Paed appointment on Friday and he put on another 440 grams in a week; now weighs 5630 grams - 1730 grams up from birth :dance: he is growing extremely quick, looks like a 3 month old already!! I dont think people believe me when I tell them he is 5 weeks old :cryinglaugh:
Well thats about it from me - not alot else happening in my life, so boring :lol:
I wont even try and attempt to do personals, far too much to catch up on.
Hope everyone is enjoying their weekend!
Kel - Veygas has blue eyes (atm) but not ice blue like Allegras!! His are more steely blue (and I really hope they stay that way!!)
sorry guys gonna be real selfish here no personal.
the 8 week mile stone is getting me VERy upset and unsettled. Lots of flash backs occurring. I so wanna blurt it all out but i cant so sorry for the mystery for those of you whom dont know. Thats my first issue.
secondly the heat humidity Josh so doesn't like, i had him two days in a row striped down to his nappy and out the front on the porch in hamock to settle him. I am so hungry for sleep like REAL sleep alone with out the need to wake in 2 hours or 3. this morning i wake no sorry EVERYONE woke to hubbie telling the 3 year old off. and i felt like i just got back sleep with josh. Mind you i think it was the thumping that got josh awake as i have said before dunno if he can hear all frequency's .( thats doing my head in cant wait to be retested)
My head is thumping again started with hubbie this morning and just hasnt stopped really been drinking water.
yesterday i spend 4 hours with the help of my 10 year old cooking dinner constantly doing this and that. hubbie was forced to help with josh. He only wanted some of the time to be held while dadda was on pc. O.k any prolonged standing makes my ankles and legs so ache. And yesterday was none the diff they were so sore. Still are now. So no real good sleep for me. I felt like after dinner i didn't even get a thank you maybe he said thanks i dunno. After tea everyone gets up and im left to tidy up i didn't do dishes, I was still cooking a cake for desert plus more food in oven and had food to pack away and store.
Ya know how some times when babies cries and all ya wanna do is something else ya think oh man.. well hubbie verbally expresses it and i say dont be like that he says ill be over it in a minute and he is but i feel then so blinking guilty in even asking him can u take him for an hour so i can sleep by myself and not like a sardine. Or he is busy and says im doing dishes he is always so busy.
Storms oh man hubbie is a storm buff and that means pc pc pc all day when storms are happening the last two days not been any diff. he also has a shocking flu the same one he cant seem to shake for weeks now.
I posted else where but thought ild cut and paste this one in for you all too
O.k My mother in law gave my husbands EX our new contact details and she rang to talk to hubbie. Hubbie said she rang to invite us to a birthday party. he answered the phone and took off to the room and shut the door to talk to her.
Should i be upset or angry at him or the mother inlaw? At the time of the call i was cooking with the other 2 kids so he said to me i got a call from blah blah i said o.k. he said ill tell you after. The next day rocks on and its me having to initiate the conversation about it. Only to be told oh she just wanted us to go to her birthday. I dont remember anything else that i or she said. Should i believe him???
the ex used to live in another country but just a few weeks ago hubbie said to me this.
When we were at the shops yesterday i thought i saw my ex. So i added her back to msn to check and it was her, She now lives a suburb away from us He told her our suburb. Then he says ive blocked her cause i think she wants me back she is that sorta person i don't trust her. All i sorta said was o.k thanks for telling me.
Not even all my family have my home number and now i have this person with it should i be concerned. If the mother inlaw gave out the home number what about our address or his mobile? should i be annoyed. I dunno how i feel all confused.
I am still up and my brain is going.:rolleyes: Hubbie noticed yesterday that the whole 8 week thing was getting to me and gave me a big cuddle that was so nice. MY brain is just taking me back to that whole time and my heart feels so full of grief and shock horror right now. i am sorta trying to ignore these feelings and emotions as i told want it to take hold of me. As then ill be useless for myself and all the children and i do need to stay functioning. Once i am past this spot things will hopefully im not sure maybe get back to normal.
I hope they do, with 1 year and a half of counselling ya would think i would be past all of this obviously not. Any how gotta keep brain going in positive ways, Josh is up so ill go see to him.
P.s hope ya don't all think of me as some nut case cause honestly i am not well i don't think i am. And i am sure that if any of you experienced what i did you would be in same boat as me right now. Hope ya don't mind me just letting it out here.
Hi Mums Bubs and The Bear ;)
Been flat out last few days, so just a bit of an update....
We have our big weigh in tomorrow, we have been comp feeding for 6 days, some feeds she gets enough from me and doesn't want extra other times she will take 60ml, mind you she nearly always chucks up some of that :p
Got a bit of a heads up on Friday we had a getting to know your baby session 1 of 6, the idea is that we create a playgroup out of it. There were a few of the mums that I have a lot in common which is great. They had some scales there so I did a quick weigh, with her clothes on - it had a chart as to what to take off for certain items and reckon that she had put on approx 200grams!!!!!! But will wait and see tomorrow.. different scales etc. no cothing, nappy etc.
I have been downing the Aktavite, and think this is boosting my supply, I am now leaking!!! But I don't think all the sugar is going to do me any good, so I am hoping the change my dose of Motilium as well, then I won't need so much aktavite. We are really lucky that Nakita will drink anything and go back to the boob!
She is now in 0000 in the long suits, the 00000 short suits still fit her for a while longer, but she is quit tall and lean, would like to get her length etc done again tomorrow, I think that if the gain is all good we will get the all clear.
I really want to be able to bf without the top ups but her growth/weight gain is more important and she is still getting all the great antibodies etc from the boob, and the F is purely a filler! It was great to talk to a few mums over the past week who have had to either do the same or go fully FF when they really wanted to BF. Either way I am still aiming for a 12 month BF relationship but if it doesn't work out then I know I have tried everything I can.
The smiles now are just beautiful and sooo many more of them!!
Sorry for the "us" post I hope to get back on later with personals :dance:
Morning 2 days posting in a row woot!
Squidipa- i've sent you a PM Allegra has been cranky in the humidity too. How bad were those storms lucky they didn't hit us directly.
Vic- YAY for her smiles. wow she's in 0000 still.
How is everyone else?
Just a real quick drop in folks
Squidipa - hope you get through this tough time!
Beema - you are doing a great job and I'm sure you'll be fully BF'ing again soon. good luck for the big weigh in!
Kel, Beth's eyes were like a really dark indigo colour when she was born, now they are more like a navy blue.... I am wondering if they will eventually change to brown like the Bear's but have to wait and see
Mummy Tummy thanks so much for the PM's ... we will figure this thing out if it kills us!
big hello :hello: to Melsta, CM4E, MM, sash, rach, mel :p and everyone else - gotta vacuum quickly before little miss wakes up!
chat later!
just uploaded about 3 pics was gonna do more but josh is up been alseep from about 12
Vic - yay for Nakita finally growing out of her clothing, that's awesome :) I have the opposite problem... 0-3 month one-piece clothing is going to be too short for Eli very soon!! Need to go buy a few more one-pieces for him. Two piece outfits look cute but I'm forever yanking them down again as the tops ride up when I pick him up! Aren't the smiles just the best? Loving them!
squidipa - I sent you a PM *hug*
sasha and kel - yay nice to hear from you!! I know how busy things get and I wish I could come on and chat more with everyone. congrats on sticking with bf kel :)
Hi everyone else, I have been reading your messages since I last posted and catching up... sounds like no-one is sick at the moment which is great :) So many bugs going around here my mum and MIL have had a nasty as flu lasting for a month!!!
We're all good here, Eli's smiling lots now, I love it when he smiles when I go over to him when he's in bed or after I feed him... kinda makes me appreciated by him when he does that :) He's growing up in looks so fast, doesn't look 6 weeks old at all (same as you sasha). He's not rolling over or anything yet but "talks" more and more with the cutest sounds ever.
Hi to everyone - MT, MM, mel, melsta, ixie & bear. Isn't it nice that summer is on its way? YAY!
Weigh in is at 3.15pm CST, 8 hours time......... Go Nakita, I reckon she will smash her weight gain record of 280grams in 7 days, which she had put on @ 5 weeks 2 days.
Okay a few personsals!!
He He, it does feel great Rachel, we are just in the PP Newborn Size, her Prem T-Shorts/Pants still have heaps of room, as do the short suits (we didn't get any PP longies in Prem) I will miss a few of the Pumpkin Patch short suits whern she grows out of them, I have been trying to find them in a bigger size on the net/ebay. :cryinglaugh::cryinglaugh::cryinglaugh:
If any one is going to PP I can send you a piccie and you can see if you can find 'em for me, a set of three - I have tried here, Happy to pay for everything!!! :D
Very cute Squidipa, all ready for the beach!! You are doing an amazing job with the bf'ing!!! You can break through the 8 week barrier, set small targets so as not to get too overwhealmed, take each day as it comes, some will be harder than others, but I know you CAN do it. :hug::hug:
Thanks The Pixie, I hope so!!!
Great to see the two posts Kel!!! Ummm still some 00000.... just the short suits...
Nakita's eyes are just the most beautiful blue, both DH and I have blue eyes, mine are dark blue and DH's are a lighter blue and Nakita's are in the middle, just beautiful!!
Big *HUGS* for Kye Sasha, hope he is super happy in no time!!!
