hello everyone
we had a check up with the child health nurse today and lucy is now 4.7kgs, she has reflux and is on a thickened formula and that makes her badly constipated...its terrible watching her have a poo, we have tried prune juice but that gives her tummy ache, coloxl works but the nurse said she shouldnt be on it all the time.
i try to only go out in the arvo now because that is lucys most awake time and it doesnt seem to upset her so much
hope everyone had a great week end
my DH is a mad hawks fan so he had a great time on saturday!
bye for now
Tasha
tasha, you can out food thickener in normal formula, but it may bung her up too, mix up brown sugar with boiled water, let it cool then give her a teaspoon or 2.. it will work !!
thanks for the advice lea ill give it a shot
lucy had her biggest sleep ever last nite 6 and a half hours...so today i feel slightly human i even brushed my hair!!

Well this is my second day on my own and to be honest I'm struggling a bit. Lily is sick again for the millionth time in 6weeks or so, so is a clingon and just whinging all day, and Liam is being a bit difficult today. I have all of about 6hrs sleep in the past two days and I'm soo buggered. When one's asleep the other is awake, so I'm not getting anything done. Ugh this sucks.....and I don't want to go out because Lil's sick. I was supposed to have a friend over yesterday and go to playgroup today, but I can't cause of her. I've been cooped up in this place for too long!
Anyway enough whining, sotta go Lil's whinging at the fridge for no good reason.
Kellie I'm sorry lil's sick again. Sounds like you're having a real tough time right now. I think you need to ask someone for some help... can you ask your mum to either come over & watch the kids for a few hours while you have a sleep & if you want to, catch up on some housework. Or could you take the kids there & go home for a rest on your own? I'd offer to come over tomorrow & give you a break but I'm still recovering from this flu & would hate to spread it!
Take care hun, big hugs

not again kel ??? poor lily and poor you .. 6hrs sleep is not enough , im worried about you .. if i was near you i'd come help give you a rest ... i hope you get some help soon , ask some one ..
i always hated asking for help .. but now i dont bat an eyelid at it .. my mum is the 1st person i ask .. usally she is the last buecause i hate her seeing me not coping .. but i still pretend im fine
and sorry danielle .. that last thing kel wants to do if she gets a break is catch up on house work .. but i kwym ..
now that dh is back at work i am doing worse than i thought i would .. too many expectations on my self .. i thought that i could hang out with nix while gab sleeps and then get the cleaning done inbetween .. but little did i know that gab never sleeps and is cranky , nix has hit the terrible 2's and has hit them bad ... his tanturms are horrific and the cleaning gets forgotten about .. and dinner is thrown togeter 2 secs before i have to leave to pick up dh ...
i tried to clean and tidy the other day .. i job too me over 5 hrs to finally finish .. and all it was , was clearing the bench ..
so i hired a cleaner , once a fornight for 3 hrs ... she comes on a monday and will do it all for me !!! yay ...
well my mum told me this sad story about a mum in a 4wd driving one way and 2 ppl in a van coming the other way .. the 4wd had a screaming baby in the back and the mum turned to check on the bub and veered to the other side of the road straight into the van coming the other way ..
as yet there are no fatalaties BUT the 4wd mum is in a stable condition and the lady driving the van is in a serious condition .. with a leg amputaion looming over her ... the baby is ok as far as i know .. the the 2 ladies are not so good , the passenger in the van ran over to the mum of the 4wd and abused her , she was slumped over the s.wheel and not concious and he was livid but still went off at her .. poor fella was in shock too ..
all this happend a street away from my mums house , who lives in rural area, both cars were write offs and the women got airlifted to hosp...
now , the lady in the 4wd was my mums boss's neighbour and the couple driving the van are my mums neighbours ... the van was a mercedes benz and the 4wd i thinkg was a pajero .. so it just goes to show no car no matter what the brand is not as strudy as we think ... ]
so i went out yesterday and bought 2 maxi riders AHR and 1 infant capsule .. so when gab hits 9 kgs she can go in the maxi rider .. the infant capsule fits to 12kgs so she can be in it for a bit longer if i feel she needs to be ..
wow nix is still in bed .. woo hoo a break for me .. he had his 1st day at daycre yesterday and loved , the lady said he fit right in and even had a sleep .. omg he wont have one at home ..not fair , but i snuck in a waatched him play , he was so happy running around outside ... he looked so cute ..
meanwhile gab is so unsettled still .. .i will ask about it at my 6 week check up .. and nimah i dont think you have to pay , my docs bulk bill . but if yours dont i think it would be a standard cons . fee .. they may even bb for kids under 16 so its best to ask
im doning fine by the way , i cant belive our "twins" are nearly 6 weeks ... eek
hugs to every one ....and milly wheres that pm you promised .... havent senn you on here for a bit , hope all is well ...
x hugs to all
oh and tasha , any movement in thestation for lucy ?? Dh and i were on a weekend away and nix got constipated , so while we were waitinng in line at the chemist we were talking about laxatives .. and a family with young kids over heard us and suggested the brown sugar and water, we bought the coloaxl any way JIC .. but when we got back to the marriot , we asked room serive for brown sugar .. ( a bizzare request , but im sure theyve had worse )
and voila .. a short while later , we got our wish ..
eta .. Nimah , the spots sound like thrush .. get some diflucan ( its one tablet ) over the counter and if it is thrus sould clear it up , but you can ask a pharmasist what it is , if its thrush its easily identifiable and you wont have to see a doc .. even a health nurse of LC could help you .. also ask for a treatment to put on your nipples so that E gets treated too ...
lucylu your poor little girl Ive heard of the sugar and water I used it on my fist DS we put a little bit of fresh orange jusce in it and it worked a treat
*charmalea* how are you doing
us well Eireann has finally worked out night time is for sleeping have had a great night the last two feel like im getting more sleep I have cut down on dairy in my diet and no choclate or diet coke not that I was eating much but thought it was better safe than sorry only having one cup of tea as well and it does seem to have helped with pucking she only does a little bit now all normal and i know that will go soon as well as she gets older
ive notied my nipple is a little ithy at times thats not trush is it if it is what do i get for it i havent notied any little spots in Eireann mouth but was just wondering
oh and this is a really dumb question but the 6 week check up how does that go i had GD so when i make an appointment should i book the gtt and how much do the dotors normally charge for the check up
i even brushed my hair!!
