Sonie - the miracle blankets are REALLY good, Caleb is pretty strong, he gets out of them sometimes but only maybe once every few days, perhaps its those times that we just havent wrapped him properly in it, but its better than having him escape the wraps every single time. I love that it keeps his hands by his body cos they get cold sometimes.
Well my dad leaves in the morning before Caleb even gets up so i have to be up at 5am, havent been up that early since Caleb first came home from hospital! Im gonna miss my dad, we have had so much fun and Caleb and him had a ball! right, im exhausted, night all!
hi girls,
a horrible morning here. amara will NOT stop crying. We started her on Zantac yesterday lunch time - so she has just had her 3rd dose.............how long will it take for us to see improvements??
This is just so horrible and I know you ladies understand the stress it causes. Take that with also having our son with Autism and it is double the horror.
So is it Ok to give Gaviston also ??? I want to try anything......
We've just had a bad night in our house too. A few friends and I decided to have a girls night out, so DH stayed home and looked after Max. I had expressed 5 bottles, so feeding shouldn't have been a problem. Well, about 11.30-12.00 I got a text asking how long I was going to be cos Max wouldn't take the bottle, wouldn't sleep... I got a friend to bring me home and about an hour or so later we finally managed to get Max to take a bottle and go to bed.
The next 2 feeds he hasn't taken a whoel lot form the bottle either, so I finally caved in about midday and gave him some from the boob - I don't feel hungover, so figure there couldn't be too much alcohol left in there. You can imagine how guilty I feel now about the night out though.
On a better note - we had our latest health centre visit yesterday and Max is up to 5.67kg now. He's in the 75th percentile for weight and length, so getting to be a chubby little thing!
Runner: It is OK to take both Zantac and Gaviscon...they do two different things. Gaviscons helps with the vomit and Zantac takes the acidity out of what is left. The two work well together. It took Dash a good couple of days to settle. He is on 3mL three times a day. If he misses even one dose (or doesn't finish the bottle with the meds in it) the rest of the day is a write off. Hope Amara feels better soon.
I too haven't had a wonderful morning. Just finished crying on the phone to the manager of major shop about their door lady - I have made an official complaint. She saw me take the time to pick a trolley for DD where the buckles do up properly (the sixth trolley was suitable). I would normally take the pram but my boot latch has gone and I can't get the pram out!! Dash was in the sling. We in the store for maybe 2 minutes and a bent down to get something off the shelf. DD got out the trolley - she can do this quite easy because she is hypermobile and can squeeze herself out of anywhere, even her car seat.
She was about 3 meters in front of me and I was chasing her with the trolley and Dash in the sling. We got near the door and the door lady could see me coming (most door people would see what was happening and try to help stop a child I'm sure) and I said, "I'm gettig there, I'll be back with a smile". Instead of letting me go without a fuss she insisted I stop and have my handbag and sling checked. So much so that she even put her hand on my shoulder and was using her other hand to peer inside the sling so I couldn't just run for Dash's sake. She said, "I know she is running, this wont take long!". Are you kidding??
Meanwhile DD has gone out of sight so I threw my bags at her and went running after DD. I think that this is just disgusting and so does the manager - especially with a 2 month old in the sling and me running. They are reviewing the video footage now as I speak because she was not allowed to touch me and they are angry about what she has done. Anyway, rant over.....I feel better now! On a good note, DD is insisting on going to the toilet and I got one of each this morning yeah!!! Hard work looking after a refluxer and toilet training a toddler I tell you lol!! Don't think I will go out again in a hurry.....it is the hardest thing I have had to do.....shopping with a toddler and a newborn....and I am used to having 25 schoolies in my care 5 days a week! This is sooooo much harder!
Oh Orange, what a horrible woman! Definitely make a formal complaint. Glad you managed to catch Z before she ran too far away.
Good on you for toilet training Z! Ben is still a long way off being ready. I'm kinda grateful for that right now to tell you the truth
We've had a good morning (sorry to the rest of you who are having trouble this morning ) I'm letting J sleep on his belly at night now, with the motion monitor on. It's made the world of difference to my little man. I'm now getting five-six hour sleeps at night and good naps during the day. He is also giving me tonnes of smiles and laughs! Much happier little man and consequently, much happier mummy! I even went out shopping this morning by myself to get some gym gear. In case any of you are wondering, it is impossible to buy sports bras in 12F or 12G sizes I ended up getting a 14 E which I know will ride up at the back, but it's the best I can do
Anyway, better be off and enjoy my last few minutes of peace. Ben is due up any second now.
Orange - for Zantac, we do 15mls and give it to Caleb straight, can you do it in 5ml lots instead?? my dr said not to put it in the bottle, he does love the taste though, its strawberry i think, judging by the smell?
I cant beleive it but last night Caleb slept 11.5 hours without waking once! down at 8pm and up at 7.30am, i just cant beleive it, i keep waiting for him to wake up through the night as if to say "your good fortune is over, this was just a test" hahaha
Hes a little unsettled today as he has had Grandad around for the past few days and now that hes gone things are getting back to normal and so is he. Im gonna get DH to do the morning feed tomorrow so i can get a decent sleep in for once (it would be my first since giving birth!)
Dropped my dad off at the airport this morning (at 5am no less arrrrgh!) oh i so miss him already, he said hes really gonna miss Caleb, i think he really fell in love with him there was a bit of talk about how he would love to move here, i would just have to get my sisters to move here too if that were the case, especially as one of them just had her baby too (and she is my dads natural daughter (they both are) so her daughter is his first natural grandchild, my dad is actually my mothers second husband, he raised me and I see him as my father)
