Babies Born December 2007 #13

Nic, what a ***** of a night hun. Hope that somehow you manage to get some rest today. Is DH home today ?

Abbey has a chest xray done not Saturday gone but the one before. That showed the bronchiltis. Tehya had the same at 12 weeks and her's developed into pneumonia, she ended up hospitalised with it as she was dehydrated too, not feeding and pooing like a demon. If she doesn't start to clear up with the steroids and the ventolin I will be taking her back to my GP and asking for another xray to be done.

What p's me off though, my GP could have easily done what this Paed did yesterday, and saved me a whole lot of money. She told me that Abbey would need steroids but still sent me anyway...

Oh well, atleast he got to see the baby he told me I was starving at birth !!

Dh is home but he was on night shift so will be asleep till after 3. I will try nap on the couch. If only the boys would just sit for an hour. I swea they only run around like lunatics when Olivia is asleep.. If she was awake they sit quietly but I can't rest. 14 hours and counting till bed time for me

I too would request another Xray to make sure. I hope it is clearing up by then though..

Morning girls!

Lori – Hi there! wasn’t me who asked about the steriliser but thanks for the info anyway!! We only use one bottle a day so I just boil it on the stove… when did you stop sterilising? It does become a bit of a pain so would it be ok for me to stop sterilising the bottles and just give them a good wash? I don’t bother sterilising dummies anymore.

Teena – so glad everything’s ok, that’s wonderful news!

Kts64 – Jake weighs around 6kg, don’t worry about her weight, I’m sure she’s fine! Jake did have a lowish birth weigh (6lb 5oz) so we’re just catching up now

Trish – Hi, nice to meet you, I hear you on the sleeping during the day, Jake will have an hour sleep in the morning but nothing usually in the afternoon and by 5pm he’s so grizzly, but just won’t go to sleep!! Luckily for me he does sleep through the night from around 9pm to 8am. How come little Abbey is on steroids? Hope all is ok.

Aussienic – Sorry to hear you had a sleepless night, hope you can catch up on a bit of sleep today if she has a nap.

How is everyone else’s bubs going sleeping through the night?? I count myself very lucky, he’s been doing that since around 10 weeks!

Hope everyone is having a good day

Janine: I personally think you can stop steralizing but if you prefer keep doing it.. As long as you was in hot soapy water and rinse thorougly all should be fine. I used to bil te jug and tip in some boiled water as well just to rinse a 2nd time..

HAHA at catching up on some sleep If only the other 2 would sleep or at least rest.. I will try napping on the floor with her though.

Just uploaded some new piccies

Well the vomit bug is still hanging around Alex was sick again around 4am and again at 6am but im thinking it is a nervous reaction as both times he was upset so i am going to try very very hard to be extra nice to him and see what happens. But DP is home today with a 24hr bug up from midnight onwards...stay away bug I DONT WANT YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!

Janine: We have just stopped sterilising just rinse out in cold water and then wash in super hot soapy water. DD is like Jake at night we get 7 - 6 roughly.
TeenaRose - So glad to hear that you got the all clear.
kts64s - DD is 6.5kg, 63cm long & 42cm head not bad for a little girl who was born 6lb4oz.
LoriRae - Ty will have lost weight due to being sick...please dont doubt your milk..if you do have any concerns see a LC or contact ABA. Alex sucks his thumb and Vicky is starting to - i've been told that as long as they have stopped before they get their adult teeth it shouldn't be a prob. Also dummies can inhibit speech development.
Trish - Really sorry to hear that Abbey is still quite sick. Alex had the same thing at that age and yep steriods & puffer we dont have any asthma so luckily no further probs..if you find a way to get Tehya to sleep in please please let me know Alex is exactly the same.
Nic - Hope you get some zzz's today even if its on the floor
Sorry if i've missed anyone....hope all the sick bubs get better & the tired mummies get some sleep...Have a good day

Girls - I hope everyone who is nt getting sleep the sleep faries are good to you soon. I have just finished a stint of no sleep due to my little one being sick.

I was doing the shopping this morning and was looking at the baby section which had baby cups with sippy teats with handle and 4Months+ on them. Is anyone else using these ATM? My little one is still on bottles and only ever has her organic formula.

Just wanted to check that there isn't something I should be doing that I missed.

Nic, I hope your boys settled enough for you to at least get some quiet time. PITA there is no direct link anymore to our galleries. I will have to go have a look for your pics.

Janine, Abbey is on steroids for her lungs, she has bronchilitis atm and is having a few breathing issues, so the hope is they help to clear them up for her and make her better. If only I can get it to stay in her body for longer than 10 minutes.

I wouldn't be complaining about your night sleep either. Abbey was going really good until she got sick. Damn it. I hope it doesn't all go out the door.

Morgan, poor Alex, I hope that bug leaves your house very soon and bub doesn't get it. Tehya has always been a poor sleeper. We even failed sleep school. She is 3 now and still wakes everynight. And is then awake by 5 - 6 in the morning for the day. It's a damn joke with her.

Kts64s, can I ask your name ? or are you going nameless on here. It's cool if you are, I just feel funny writing initials down, feels impersonal.

Can't help you on the sippy cups just yet. Abbey is only having booby atm. Might start her on water in a few months or so. She doesn't need it right now though.

Abbey has been spewing all day. Only little ammounts though, nothing like this mornings effort. I guess I will see how she goes with tonights dose of medicine.

Our day is still far from over. Noah has his swimming lesson at 5.60, it's supposed to go for 30 minutes but she's always late and our class is the last one of the day so she goes later. We're lucky to be home by 7pm, then dinner and baths and DP has touch footy tonight. I hate wednesdays !!
