Hi guys - just a quick one - will BBL to post more personals.
Have a viral infection in my gut (somewhere, they aren't sure where) but ended up in hospital last night.
My mum has just arrived to babysit me and the little miss, cos I'm not supposed to do ANYTHING. Will be back later I hope!
Take it easy!
Mel - that's no good. Have they given you anything for it? Are you in pain?
Anistasia - my scar is a dark pink. I think it's just at that stage of healing. I'm sure it will fade in time (fingers crossed).
Tan - thanks for the support but I have given up the ghost re BF. I think the tears yesterday was a little bit of hormones and some greiving over not being able to BF like I had planned (not to mention the c-section which I was completely un-prepaired for). The reason for wanting to BF are purley selfish. DD is thriving on FF, so much easier to settle and just generally a more contented/happy baby.
Hope everyone is having a good day (raining cats and dogs at my place), and their little ones are behaving themselves

Awww Mel you poor thing. Hope you get better real soon. YAY mum. Gotta love the mums.
Well booked liam in to get his hearing tested again, but couldnt get in till Oct on my bday of all days. Taking him to the deaf and blind place at North Rocks, They are very good but he will have to be alseep for 3 hrs while it gets done. Hope he sleeps that long. Im hoping its just that he is used to callum yelling, banging, slaming doors and that is it. Im alittle depressed (what mother wouldnt be) but trying not to think about it as it will drive me in sane for 2 months.
Ok I'm back Mum has popped down to the shops to get ingredients to make me soup (she brought soup over, but is now making us a batch too.. must be something about soup.. she likes giving me soup!!)
Tan - I'm sorry you are still having issues with BFing. Hang in there honey - you are doing a fabbo job just doing what you are doing. First six weeks are the hardest remember!!!!! Keep on chuggin hon....
Missy - I hope Liam's hearing appointment goes ok. DD startles pretty easily (just did it then when I sneezed actually..lol) but hopefully Liam is just used to the noise and is pretty cruisy!!!!!
Pink - yeah I'm on antibiotics and panadeine for the pain.... hanging out till 2.30 to take more drugs though, its bloody killing me!!!!!! I'm glad you are feeling better about your feeding issues, its a hard thing to go through emotionally - things don't always work out the way that we foresee them Oh and yeah its normal for the bit above your actual scar to be sensitive - all the nerves getting back together and all that jazz - so it all goes numbish and sensitive!!!! That is actually where my pain is, but its on my left side... grr.. stupid pain.. at least I don't have a fever so my drugs are working - woot!!
Mez - I hope Izzy gets better for you soon.. are you taking her to the docs to see if she can get on medication to help? We are about to switch formula AGAIN for DD - she did huge GREEN poos before - too much iron... doh!!! Need to change to another one and see how she goes...
Hello to everyone else.. I can't remember the rest of the posts (sorry!!!)
Think I need chocolate.. that will make tummy pain go away.. hehe
Is anyone else having trouble getting onto BB, I have been trying for 2 days and all of today really making me mad.
Missy- Like I said this morning hun its prob cause he is used to the noise. Laila was the same and Lucas only jumps if my bedroom door is slammed by Laila/wind.
Mel- Oh no, I hope you get better hun.. I couldnt think of anything worse atm.
Pink- Hun its ok , I felt the same with when I couldnt BF Laila..at least you gave it a try.
Tannis- Im sorry your having feeding issues..I feel the same as you. As Lucas is our last I wanted to BF even though I FF Laila. I hope the LC can help.
Tasia- Hehe we started TTC when Laila was 3 months old, I had a feeling it would take awhile to get PG but I feel within 6 weeks. Sadly it ended in a M/C.. then we started TTC again straight after and it took 8-9 months. Goodluck hun!
Mary- Things will get better hun, it is hard being a mum but im sure your doing a great job. Lucas has me near in tears everyday cause he hates to be put down, will sleep if you hold him but the sec he goes own he is awake screaming.. Laila was the same but then i only had her to think about now I have him and her
Feeb- Lucas hates the car aswell, Laila loved it but he hates it.
Well BF is going great except my supply started to drop off abit so I have to take Fenugreek and drink heaps of water (near makes me spew cause I hate water).
He is sleeping for a few hrs in the night now but wont sleep in the day unless i hold him *sigh* cant wait till this stage passes.
Mel - You poor thing. I hope you get better real soon. Yay! Your mummy making you soup. Mmm. Soup makes things better, well I think it does.
Hayden's poos have been greenish... does that mean too much iron???
He's not having issues with poos though.
What colour should it be? LOL
Mez - Being a mum is hardwork but you're doing a fantastic job. It really does get better. Your babygirl is lucky to have such a great mumma.
Missy - I hope everything goes alright with Liam's hearing. I'm sure he's just used to the noise. Hayden gets startled by like some noises, but not all. I don't think he's startled by Elijah though. I know it's harder said then done, but try not to worry cause everything will be fine, I just know it!
Zee - Great to hear Lucus is sleeping more during the nighttime. Whoo hoo!!!
Pink - Good to see you! I'm glad Ava is sleeping and eating great. Sorry to hear the BFing didn't turn out as you would have liked, but you tried your very best for your little girl and that's all you can really do.
Tan - I hope the LC helps. Good luck with your appointment.
We went and got Hayden weighed today and all that jazz. Everything is going along fine.
He's put on 380g in 2weeks, so he's 4.8kg. His head is 1.5cm bigger, so it's 39cm now
and he's grown 2cm in length, so he's now 55cm long.
Nothing much else going on. It's freezing cold here now. Blah.
Mel.. BIG hun. I hope it clears up soon. Take it easy ok!
Missy.. OH just saw your post! When the CHN was here last week one of the questions in the blue book was does the baby startle at loud sounds. Well! Keira sleeps through all of Jesse tantrums and screaming and chucking and slamming of his toys. I said to her im not sure, cos i know she sleeps through all of that. But the hearing test at the hospital she passed fine. Then i was telling mum about it and she said oh yeh ive seen her startle a few times when she was here. Then i saw Keira jump yesterday when i dropped something. Otherwise i hadnt seen it. So Hopefully, Liam is just like Keira. Because they have gotten so use to all the noise from our toddlers (probably even when in the womb), they sleep through alot of it. Hope the tests confirm that for you.
Had a lovely day shopping with Kristy. Was great to get out again like we use to.
Well I've had a really hard night and day today but feeling much better after a visit to our GP who reassured me that I'm doing a great job as a mum and our little princess is doing well too. Last night we had to go to the Royal Children's Emergency as we couldn't see a GP and the dr's there just told us that she is unsettled and sent us back home. I was not impressed. So today after our Health Nurse apt Isabel is doing really well she has put on 455gms in 2 weeks and grown 2cms now 53cm long, so I was very happy about that. The nurse did tell me to go and see a dr cause she thought she has reflux. So we have just got back and yes she has been prescribed Zantac and some drops for her eyes as she has conjunctivitis so I was right that my little princess wasn't feeling well.
Mel - Oh sweet I really do hope that you feel better soon. So happy that your mum is looking after you though.
Tenny - Thank you so much, right back at you. Great news of Hayden's weight gain woohoo
Zee - I'm sure Lucas will get better sleeping for you. Izzy is doing that at the moment too.
Missy - I'm numb too just above my scar feels horrible.
Hi there everyonem sounds like everyones babies putting on lots of weight unlike my slow to gain weight child! has gained enought just but not huge amounts, still chucking and snack and snooze feeding. Also a bit snuffly so think he has a cold. Dissolving Losec for reflux is driving me nuts as so hard to give it to Jacob.
*Belle* bugger for loosing post drives u nuts when that happens.
Ayapi thats no good that izzy also has reflux seems to be mighty common!!!!!!!!!!! hope she feels better soon.
Gudism thats no good that u r not well, enjoy your mum helping out!
my cs scar i cant see but ob said it was ok on monday and checkup. have slight numbness above wound.
hi to everyone else hoope you all hav e agreat weekend.
Feeb - our GP prescribed Zantac and it's a liquid form, must taste good too cause Izzy didn't pull faces. Plus Dr said that it should work within a few days which I'm happy about need to take it twice a day.
Tasia - I'm hoping that Izzy gets better now that we have medication for her.
