Jo: Thanks for your ideas re Zantac but Dash can't take it straight because he wont swallow it and spits it out and then wont feed after it, even the Dr couldn't get it down him. Dr said that this is common because it is foul, maybe it wouldn't be if it was like your strawberry flavoured Zantac?? Dash's Zantac has been calculated by his weight (in fact he should only have 2mL twice a day but because it is bad they increased it 3mL 3 times a day to be reviewed in two weeks) by the pharmacist and paed and it has a really strong peppermint flavour - it tastes stronger than mouthwash. So maybe there are different types/strengths of Zantac (interesting, will have to find out)?? The only way we can get him to have it is in his bottle. This works fine when he drinks it......which he has today because I have changed the flow of his teat from medium to fast.... can't believe I didn't think of this before. Thanks for your thoughts anyway, it's appreciated. Yeah on Caleb sleeping 11 hours+....it's nice isn't it??!! Bet you can't wait to see your Dad again in a couple of months.
Ren: Hope your blisters go away, ouch!! Can't wait to see your photos.
Bon: I think Nixon is going great guns with his night sleep....like you said, not much to complain about because it is a lovely big block of sleep once you get him down. You are doing a great job. He will get there in his own time. Bubs just love attention but things will get back to normal soon after you get back home.
Dis: I'm feeling better now lol! I didn't really want to toilet train DD until late Spring (she is only 21 months) but she has given me no choice because she takes her nappies off all the time and goes to the toilet, mostly at the wrong time. If she goes in a nappy she takes it off straight away and tells me what she has done and gets quite upset because she no longer likes the feeling. She is quite happy to run around in trainer knickers. Just bad timing really because I am already so busy trying to co-ordinate and get used to a toddler and 2 month old, it is hard some days as you know. Not to mention the regime we go through each day with reflux, terrible twos, leg braces, orthodic shoes and physio each day. I'm exhausted come night time.....like everyone else I susppose!!
Anyway, this was only meant to be a short message. I can talk a lot because I don't get a lot of adult conversation at home....only here really, so thanks to you all for taking the time to read my thoughts!! Better go and get some sleep....it's been a rough one lol! Will have to start finding some of you ladies on facebook to check out your pics, I never go around to it when I was pregnant (finding you all that is)!!
IT is interesting the different doses of Zantac - Amara has been prescribed only 0.5 mls three times a day - so NOTHING like the amount of your babies Jo and Orangefeather - my doctor also went by Amara's weight which is about 5.2kgs I think.
Is it making a difference? too early to tell I think, BUT it has not been worse SO FAR.
Good news!! I made it to the fun run.....or shall I say we made it to the fun run!! and it was LOTS of fun for me........running a 'race' again - if only 8kms was great - I had a time in mind that I might do, and I was about 1-2 mins faster...very warm too - well, it is the Gold Coast afterall!
Afterwards, I had to change into my maternity bra, firstly washing the sweat off my breasts - did not want Amara soaking up all that salt !! Had some strange looks about that in the ladies bathroom!!
anyway, this has given the confidence to keep training for the Half Marathon in July.
Runner - all i know is that from their website they are $40 each, thats how much i paid for mine, not sure where else you can buy them, try ebay? I know that they do stretch a little though so perhaps a new one is best
Ru nnner - congrats on the run! I posted the other day but my comp went nuts and it didn't work, but you cab have my wrap if you want> It's new - tried it on H but he hated it. More than happy for it to go to a good home.......
hi soph,
this is a very kind gesture - I would love to try your miracle blanket on Amara - thank you very, very much. Shall I send you a PM with my address? I think my inbox is full, better get on to that!
If there is something that YOU need or would like, I may have it, so please ask away!! More than happy of course to return your kindness...
feeling a bit tired now from the race......fair enough I suppose!
soph - hope you get out there for some running soon !! It will feel fantastic...let me know how you go!
No worries runnermum! Yeap pm me your address. And you don't need to return the favour, well actually you already have by motivating me to get back into running so keep it up and thank you did a slow jog for 30 mins but jogged all the way so pretty happy and exhausted! Got my sights set on a 12km fun run in November - I'm excited! 12km will def be my limit - buggered up my knee doing half marathons pre kids so shorter for me these days!
