Hi Girls
Oh what a weekend we've had. I woke Isabella up for a feed about 9.15pm on Friday (I always wake her at that time) and she didn't seem right, Mick notice that she wasn't breathing right - very shallow so Mick unwrapped her and then she had a fit. She started to shake all over and her eyes went sidewards and Mick tried to get her to look at him but she wouldn't. I rang for the ambulance and they were here within 5 mins and the lady stayed on the phone telling us what to do. It was all very scary.
We we to Hospital and they took some blood for testing but that came ok. It took 3 doctors 5 goes to get blood from Isabella and the poor thing was screaming. WE spent Friday night in hospital. I finally got to sleep about 2am but was awake every hour on the hour til about 5am when Isabella fed. The doc came Saturday morning and said we had to stay another night just in case. I did manage to sleep a little better til about 2am when a little boy was admitted and was in the other cot in our room and that was the end of my sleep. I was glad to sleep in own bed last night.
We got the all clear at lunch time yesterday to come home and we went brought a motion and sound monitor with the sensor pads that go under the mattress. We weren't going to take any chances.
They didn't find anything specific wrong with Isabella other then she had a cold. Isabella has to have an EEG in a months time to rule out other things.
Anyway I had better go and try to get my house in order and hang some washing out
Take care and give your babies a big cuddles

Gosh Jo! How scary. I'm glad everything is ok for now. I hope she is fine. BIG for both of you.
No time for anything else sorry Flynn is crying for me!
No time here either, house is a huge mess and Chloe is being a right b!tch today, and is giving attitude to Ben right as we speak so I'm off to break up the brawl.....*sigh* BBL
I have a shocking cold, a bit better today but is not helped by His Royal Monkeyness waking every 1-3hours overnight. I think the other bottom front tooth is on the move. Not sure if he is fighting off my cold too. I am trying formula topuo but he doesn' really want them. Is feeding a bit more often too, back to every 2-4hours during the day.
Anyway sleeping dust to all I am going to have a nap, and I bet HRM will wake up!
Jake is only sleeping 30 mins maximum and driving me nuts. The kids making noise and carrying on is NOT helping the situation either. Needed to pop in for some 'sane' time, lol.
Got builders next door, building a new unit in the backyard...bloody thing has it's structures going up today ind it's like 1 metre away from my large kitchen window....GRRRR!!! Was just growling at the kids and looked up to see a builder standing there
Hope to get back in for personals later on tonight, maybe with a glass of wine in hand
wow Jo, thankgoodness you went to wake Isabella when you did, i hope it was just an infection of some sort, it must have been so scary for you
Bec: i hope you have that glass of wine in your hands by now (although you are probably still putting children to bed !)
Andie: you sound like you have had a lot of visitors since Cam was born and been very busy ! good to hear Cam is rolling, James did for the first time a week ago but hasnt repeated it (except the time emily "helped" him roll lol)
James has been trying to sit up all the time now, whenever he goes in the bouncer or swing etc, i wish i had his abdominal strength lol
for those interested i have been following karitane "rules" for getting your child to sleep more, i started really concentrating on it last wednesday and by the weekend james was going to sleep himself (still waking sometimes at 45 mins) but settling easily again, he slept 5 or 6 hours each day, we are still working on the night time sleeps which are hit and miss but he has a cold so is waking with a blocked nose and cough but things are MUCH improved and i hope they continue, if any of you girls want the link to their advice let me know
Luey: i hope your cold improves quickly, im suffering yet again with one too (we all are)
hi to Catherine, rustygirl, Laura, Reenie and Hayley (havent heard from you girls in ages) All boys, Nic and anyone i have forgotten
Great that you are having some success with James. I would love the KAritane link. Are you still using the dummy? I sort of want to get rid of it, just so I don't have to get up to him and he can learn to self settle. Poor thing, not another cold. How is your foot?
Jo - Oh my gosh, I hope everything is OK.It must have been absolutely terrifying for you.I cannot even begin to imagine.Keep us posted.
Mel - So glad to hear that things are on there way to getting better,I hope it continues.Please send me that link,I'm all out of Ideas, but have to do something.
Looks like most of us aren't having much luck in the sleep department.
Things with Sam are getting a lot worse.I don't know what to do.The last 2 nights he has slept no more than an hour at a time.He is also waking for long periods in the middle of the night.Getting him down for a nap during the day is such an effort that half the time I give up after trying for over an hour.I just can't stand to see him so hysterical.
He doesn't seem sick,no fever or runny noes and when we are playing he is perfectly happy.
Each day I am finding it harder and harder. Maybe this is just something that happens when the hit 4 months.I'm still worried that my milk isn't enough for him anymore.How can milk alone feed a 8.75 kg baby?
On the plus side, he rolled from back to tummy for the first time yesterday.He still hasn't repeated the other way since the first time at 3.5 months though!
for both of you.
