Poor Jess is worse. He had what looked like the flu boxing day.. same yesterday.. then had diarrhea yesterday.. with my paranoia i had a bucket already near by and this morning he was sitting on the floor and just went white as a ghost. I picked him up and sat on the lounge and he threw up in the bucket. My nerves are still racing. DH was at work too. Have called the Doctor Call Out Service as my thoughts after research is he may have a middle ear infection and may need antibiotics (although hes not saying his ears hurt or anything?) and i dont want to be sitting in a waiting room hours on end with the chance he'll be sick there. He seems ok atm. Is drinking the gastrolite in small amounts.
Kel - I hope Jess gets better. Could be an ear infection - how's his temp? DS has an ear infection and we didn't even know it!!!! He wasn't pulling on his ear or anything.
We dropped his day sleep yesterday - he went down at 6.45pm last night and slept until 7am!! wooooohooo!!! it was so lovely last night to eat our dinner and have a glass of wine without a certain somebody climbing all over us!!!!!!!
Mel.. he had a temp the night before last and also yesterday afternoon when he woke from his nap.. so yeh thats probably what it is. I found a website you can put symptoms into and it gives you possible diagnoses and yeh middle ear comes up. Actually now i think about it yesterday i was trying to ask him where's ouchy? he was saying nose nose.. he had a runny nose atm so just thought it was that, but maybe he meant in his ears but just knew it hurt. Who knows! Hopefully the doctor can give him some antibiotics for it. Oh i bet that was nice quiet house from 7pm. Jesses at that in between stage atm where if he doesnt have a sleep hes falling asleep at the table at 5.30pm and if he does then hes awake til past 7.30-8pm.
Tasia.. hows the rash? I know Jesse and even keira have had a similar thing. Usually after they have had a sweat but yeh didnt lead to anything. Hope Jonathan is ok.
Well we were going to start Keira on solids today. Might still if i can get Jess to have a sleep.. im sure hes going to definately need one.
I forgot to add.. is anyone else having hair issues?? I didnt have it for the first 2 months or so with Keira but now i am finding my hair everywhere! Its driving me nuts! So sick of it falling out!
yeah we decided to knock out the day sleep cos he has been going down around 9.30 or 10.30pm!!!! Far too late!!!
Went good yesterday, thought he was going to go to sleep when I took him for a ride in the stroller up to the shops, but he didn't.
ETA: - And yes - hair is falling out constantly.
I spoke to the doc yesterday about starting solids - he agreed with me that she isn't showing any signs of wanting to start, so we will start around 6 months - if she is ready then.
Hey Mel.. when Aricyn had his ear infection was he sicK? as in threw up? Jesse seems ok now. Still has a runny nose.. hes asleep on the lounge atm.. hes had a dry biscuit to eat and has been drinking the gastrolite. He has a moon tan like me so he looks pale all the time, its hard to see sometimes if he is really sicky looking.
Ah yeh i hear you way too late! But like you said maybe he just doesnt need it.
Yeh im unsure of what to do with Keira. My only thing is, shes still on 5 bottles and come her last bottle, no matter what time i give it to her, shes then awake now for an hour or so. Even if i try and dream feed her, shes waking up. So i dont know if it will work, but im thinking of trying to cut out a bottle and start the solids, this being give her her last bottle about 8pmish just before when she usually falls asleep, then not wake her again before we go to bed. Hmmm.. might give it a go.
Kel i hope jesse is better soon poor little might!!
On hair loss OMG my hair is everywhere doesnt help that Jacob pulls at it lots grr!!!
Before preg I used to loose a bit, during preg basiclly nothing but now its making up for it!
Well He is offically being the worlds worst sleeper! waking soooo many times over night and when put back down waking anywhere from immediatly to 2 hrs later. He is not having proper feeds is snacking lots and no matter what i try cant get him to feed for longer he hest distracted even if we r in a silent dimmed room grrrrr. he is very grizzly irratible and clingy!!!! and guess what i am irratable and grizzly also!!! for last 5 nights he has ended up in our bed from 4 am ish and i am soooooooooooooo sore as i dont move once he is in bed with us and my hips are still stuffed from pergnancy.
Feeb- just keep living by my mantra - it won't last forever.. it won't last forever.. lol
Kel - nah he's not a big chucker - much like me and DH - we don't really vomit unless we have gastro. Could be the temps though? If he has a high temp, then he might vomit because of it? I know that can happen to some people.
What else was I going to say? Oh yeah, Miss M always wakes up when we give her the 10pm bottle, like she'll be all cheery and cooing and stuff. I think we are lucky though, cos we just put her in her cot and she puts herself to sleep and we fall asleep in bed around that time too - usually at 11.00ish? We wake her at 10.
DS is sitting watching some mouse thing on nick jr - with chocolate all over his face (we took him grocery shopping, the milky way was a bribe to be quiet. lol) and is now eating a crossaint and having some milk. We have rice milk chilling in the fridge cos we thought we might try to put him on rice milk instead of cows milk. Apparently it can help sleeping patterns and temper tantrums - we are willing to give it a go!!!!!
Feeb.. oh dear silly Jacob. I wonder his hes teething. I know we use to have hell nights with Jesse when he had a tooth coming through. Hope he snaps out of it soon and you both can get a good nights sleep.
Mel.. hmm dont know about the temps. He didnt have one this morning when he threw up is all. And the temps he had were only kinda mild. Yeh, we're the same in this house.. this is the second time hes thrown up in his life.. other time was when he had that bad gastro. I havent thrown up *touch wood* since i was about 16 or so (lol too young for alcohol!)
Ahh miss m sounds the same as Keira. Thats what she does.. wakes and coos and squeels. Except she wont put herself to sleep unless shes tired.. otherwise will have a battle with her hand taking out her dummy!
Oh my dad drinks rice milk.. think it suppose to be better for you? Dad has alot of high blood pressure problems and think he drinks it for that?
Kel sorry to hear about Jesse hope he feels better soon hon...
missy hope you have a great trip - congrats on the tooth
Tasia is J's rash better?
Tenny good to hear you had a great Chrissy, the RC car sounds cool!
quiet (very hot) day here, so not up to much, maybe a swim later and dinner at the ILs
Mel - mwah
big to Tan, Zee, Belle, SW, sweetpea, Mez, and everyone

Kell awwwwwww poor jes. I have no idea what could be wrong with him. Sorry he threw up too knowing how you are with the sick thing. Always the way, happens when DH is not there and its up to you. Has he settled??
As for Keira, how did she go. Did you start on the solids. Liam is now on 3 meals a day ( farex in the morning, custard for lunch and atm potato and carrots for dinner) he loves it well sort off not real keen on the potato etc. He is only haveing 3 bottles a day of 250mls and will drink at least 200 but most times its the full 250. He is getting really fat. Well I think so. He has dimples in his legs... Nope kell no hair falling out to much unless I straighten it.
Hey feeb oh you poor thing. Now I know its going to sound sh&t what im going ot say but you really need to stop him in your bed as he will get use to it and you dont want it. With the feeding, I know your tired, but use a dummy and stretch it out for 4 hrs. Ofter 150 - 200mls, evern if it takes a hr to give and with in time it will work. I had to do that with callum for about a week. Good luck hun!!!
Im having the same problem as you Arimeh in the sleeping. If Callum has his day sleep he is up to 9 + and its driving me in sane. The last couple of days he hasnt been having his sleep but its hard keeping him up past 4pm, he wants to sleep so we have to quickly feed and bath him and he goes down about 6 - 6.30pm now but is up pretty early. Well in our bed about 5am but most times he will just lay there and wait for me to wake.
hey Pix thanks hun. Have fun new years eve. Wish I was there.
Feeb - honey if you want him in your bed, you keep him there ok? I don't think it will cause too much of a problem later on - I think its more that you do what you can to survive each day when bubs are unsettled. This shall pass, all bad times do. He won't be doing it when he's 15
Missy - yeah, we have to do fun activities with him and give him lots of attention for him to get past that magic 4pm!!! He usually crashes then if we let him - but we've made things too much fun to go to sleep, books, drawing, playing with toys (easy when DH is home on holidays so I can still do stuff around the house!!!) I think it also helps that I have a really easygoing baby as well. He goes down around 6.30 - DH is about to put him to bed now while I go cook dinner. I luuuuurve eating my dinner with no child attached to me!!!!!
Thanks for your thoughts.
Doctor has been and put him on antibiotics. Said his ears are a little inflamed and the green mucus warrants the antibiotics. So hoping it solves our problems.
Missy.. thanks hun. Well i definately need help for my anxiety i think as i was shaking and a wreck after he threw up. Even though DH explained to me look i made it through ok and it was all fine.. still doesnt stop my mind freaking out. So am going to see my doctor now next weekend when DH is off. Need to get the joyful pap smear done too Yep he seems alot better this evening. Hoping hes on the mend and it doesnt rear its head over night
Callum sounds like Jesse. What time would he normally have his day sleep? We tried cutting Jesses out and like you he was falling asleep come 4pm or at the dinner table every night. Im trying to get him to sleep around 11.30am these days.. then he has lunch after he wakes. Some days it works, others it doesnt.
Hehe little porker lol! Well he has to be bigger than Keira and atm i think shes winning on that.
Pixie.. hope you enjoyed your swim!
Ok im hungry...
