oh no kristi, I'm so sorry. How terrible that she needed a lumbar puncture, would have been torture for you too feeling so helpless. I'm so glad that came back all clear.
I hope they find the cause soon & can get rid of it. Poor little princess.
Sending bucket loads of get well vibes. I will keep her in my thoughts & prayers & hope she's home with you soon!
Big hugs hun
**** kristi , im thinking of you and your family xx Get well soon Chardonnay !
well i lost the plot yesterday and smacked nixon on the back he grabbed my key and put them in the ignition and turned it on !! i was tending to gab and he snuck out so silently and when i heard the (v8) enigne start up i freaked and smaked him , i guess it was more shock than me actually wanting to smack him for being naughty , i cried all the way to play group .. man i felt like **** yesterday ..
His tanties are getting to me , so i have employed some strateriges to avoid them .. and was talking to DH at dinner about them and i asked for his input he said " yeah , great ideas"
pffft great input hun , thanks for the support ... hes not the one who cops it ..
any way . Gab didnt have her Zoton yesterday as i was testing to see if the reflux has setteld at all ..
nup .. poor thing i watched her reflux and arch her back and generally be uncomfortable .. i just stared at her , like i was in a haze , i watched her actions , but couldnt move. all i could do was think about her pain .. and i felt so responsible fot it .. i felt as guilty as all hell ...
luckily she is just fussy now and the 3 hours of crying has gone ..
day stay to day im looking forward to it ..
and we'd love another baby too .. but we arent even sexing yet .. so i dont think therell be one soon .. pmsl good luck withit all Dannielle .. !!!!
id love to lose weight .. i have 3 kgs to go till pre preg weight (im 67 want to be under 65) , Im seeing a nutritionist next fortnight to get advice on diet while BF .. i want to detox , but i dont think its a good idea right now ..
Oh Kristi, how awful for you and your family. I hope she is well very soon and back at home with mummy. Sending lots of get well wishes to C from Norway.
Oh Kristi...I can not imagine what it is like for you to have to leave your baby at hospital......I cant believe it but none of mine have ever even needed anti biotics, im going to be a mess if they ever get that sick. Sending you all our love!
Lea: you poor thing, i bet your heart just stopped when you heard that car, reminder for us all to put our keys up and out of the way. I dont smack my kids but i know i would have done the same as you babe...please dont feel bad and nixon wont even remember it. Poor Gab, but there is no need to feel guilty about not giving the med, you had to try it out, how bad would you have felt if you found out you were giving her something she didnt need...see you just cant win sometimes...its called mothers guilt and we all suffer from it time to time.
Kell: You are right about everything taking longer now, you must have arms of steal lifting all that up the stairs...hope you can move soon. I know my kids are close but boy its easier when they get over that two mark and Grace at 4 is a dream..... I was laughing my head off you discribing what Lil gets up too, its so true they are energetic little things arent they?? If only we could go all day like that too Bugger the house work, only do what needs to be done any forget the rest until lil is better.
US: Im 90% we will have more kids...but when....... probably get to that 15month mark and think Thomas is so cute and easy that i want another, then you are pregnant when they hit 18months and wonder "what the hell have i done LOL"
Girls the only way i can get through the day someday with the 3 kids and DH away so much is to try and
Remember the million things you do RIGHT and WELL that day for your kids not the ONE moment you didnt!
kristi, our thoughts and best wishes are with you and your family, i hope the doctors figure out whats wrong with chardonnay soon so she can go home.
lea, poor you sounds like you have your hands full, dont feel bad about smacking i found with nathan that sometimes its just a knee jerk reaction, especialy when he did something that put himself in danger.
kellie, it must be hard to handle a sick child as well as a baby hope she gets better soon.
milly, i was also dieting(under docs watchful eye) whilst pregnant, i got married when i was seven months so i had a dress to fit into!! and if i loose weight now hopefuly we wont have too much trouble getting pregnant when we are ready.
danielle, hehe my husband wants us to have another baby straight away but i think thats only so he gets some lovin
lucys in a cranky mood she seems to have lost her apitite the formula tin says she should be having 5x200ml feeds but she is only having 4x150mls? but she is putting on weight so i shouldnt be worried
hello to everyone i missed its taken me ages to get this far
5 x 200mls would only be an average tasha, lucy may also have days where she wants 6 x 200mls...what you dont give it if she wants it LOL works both ways
Dont know what is wrong with her, waiting on test results. But she is improving. Temp has eased and she is more settled.
Had kidney ultrasound today which came back good. Had nasal suction to test for respiratory viruses, that came back clear.
I was able to put clothes on her today, she spent yesterday in a nappy. Her eyes are looking brighter again, thank goodness.
She is on 2 IV ab and IV fluids now. She has to be on the IV ab for at least another day.
It was SO hard to leave her there tonight, i just wanted to bundle her up and bring her home.
Thanks for all your thoughts girls, it means alot
Just quickly Tasha, Chardonnay has only just started drinking 120ml per feed. She has 5 to 6 feeds a day. That on the tin is just a guideline, she will start drinking 200ml when shes ready. 200ml per feed for a little 2 mth old tummy is rather alot i think.
I hope you are all well and stay well.

kristi, thanks for taking the time to keep us updated we are praying you get to take your baby home where she belongs very soon
i think i worry too much about getting lucy to sleep and not giving her enough play time because last nite i put her on the floor where she happiely kicked and babbled away for about half an hour, then she drank nearly 150mls and went easily off to sleep for 8 hours i was waking every hour or so just to check on her
oh i forgot to mention coffee went well... im glad i am making the steps to repair our friendship
i hope everyone has a great day
