Danni - Well I wouldn't worry. She's sitting about the same as Jesse is. He'll sit for a bit, then try to eat his toes! It all goes out the door from there!!
Poor Jesse's teething. Last night he was really upset. We did have a house full of people, which was out of the ordinary, but his cheeks were really red & puffy & he's got the runs.
He had to have panadol last night coz he'd just start screaming at the drop of a hat. He was too irritable to go to sleep.
He wasn't as bad tonight, but still had the red cheeks & wanting to chew on anything & everything.
He's not really interested in eating too. Poor bubba's gums are too sore.
Bri got her first at 5.5 months, Jaz was about 7 months. So he'll have one soon I reckon. I hope we don't have any probs with bf when he does start getting them.
Prama - I took a pic of the wash/mach & texted it to mum & told her what it does & she texted back & said 'cool, can it cook & watch the kids too!?!'
I wish!!
Well its been a huge few days in this part of the world. Thursday night i Get a call form the doctor to say my blood test came back with platlettes of 15,000 and suggested I go to casualty. I told her no *L* she was the on call doctor had no idea of my history and just hit the panic button.( I knew they were very low as I am covered in bruises but they havent been this low for 4 years.) Anyway I told her I would call my doc in the morning and get some steroids as I didnt want a transfusion she wasnt to happy. Next Day my Doc says ok you can have steroids 75 mg a day but only for 4 days( I dont sleep clean the house like mad and get migraines and heart palpatations) I had to beg him not to put me into hospital as we had my mums suprise 60th birthday party and people came from New Zealand and all.I then get a call to say he has spoken with my heamotologist and they are going straight for the big guns. Rituximab which they use to treat non hodgkins lymphoma with. I had it before and it gave me 3 years remmision. Unfortunatley it means I have to wait a minimum of 12 months after treatment finishes to even think about trying for another baby if we are allowed:-( we didnt want to wait too long as I am 38 next April. This stuff kills your bcells and also gives me lows neutrophils so I have to inject a cell growth stimulate which comes with a warning that can cause cells to mutate into cancerous cells with long term use. This wil be the third time.
My head is spinning.I know I have to be well for Will and will do what ever I have to but there is a very real possibilty we wont be able to have another baby and its been pretty full on. I will also have to leave Will once a week for 6 weeks whilst i have treatment and am usualy wiped out the next day and I am worried about he and I will handle it all.
Have been tired beyond belief which is one of the symptoms and WIll god love him has decided that 5 is the new time he will wake up *L* arghhhhhhhh
SO have to wait until Wednsday to see when the drugs arrive and where I wil lhave them eitherin the hospital or the cancer clininc attatched.
ON a high night mums suprise went off really well..not such a suprise as she gets so suspicious and said she knew somehtign was going on.. We had a dinner for 20 in an old Anglican chapel by candel light it was amazing.Will was so well behaved and gave everybody loads of smiles and laughs although he was abit thrown by all the candles. He went to sleep right on que and stayed that way for the rest of the night.
So thats me..sorry ot blab on about it all just been a huge couple of days and a lot to take in.Hope you have all had agood weekend
'Bronxx
Bron - hun, you have so much going on! oh darling, I hope that with all that's going on, you will be able to have another baby..
Any chance you can try tonight????
It'll be tough having a week away from Will.
Is this something that reoccurs or just so happens it's come back?
Any way this can be avoided for the next time.
It really sux taking all that shots and medication.
You are a really strong person, you're amazing. You inspire me, Bron. Somedays I get so tired and exhausted, I feel it's the Lupus, and I get upset and think it's not fair. It's harder for you having to go into hossy and all. :hugs:
yes, it does make me tired even more so too, with Lakshman deciding to wake up at least twice in the middle of the night. The cold doesnt help, just feel I want to sleep and sleep and sleep. But as you said once before, even when someone else is looking after him and im trying to sleep, as soon as I hear him cry, I wake up and not feel rested at all.
This morning he woke up at 4.45 and went to bed at 5.30. i thot i slept for 10mins when he cried again and it was 7.45.
Maybe one day, I should get steve to take him out or to mil's and i can have a peaceful nap. if he's in the house, i dont feel i sleep so well.
anyway, sorry it;s gone about me. I hope things go well on Wed. xoxoxxo. im thinking of you, hun. i just think you're fantastic!!!
Oh Bron i am so sorry...
YOu just have had a really bad time of it lately havent you
I know that you want another bubba, but it is so important that you get yourself better right now.
Hopefully the treatment will put you into remission for even longer this time.
You didnt think that you would be pg with Will, im sure that you will be able to have another.
As Prama said, you are amazing, i have nothing wrong with me and sometimes i feel sooooo damn tired i waant to sleep for a week, i cant even being to imagine how you must be feeling. Whinge and vent away on here, we are all here for you - just wish i was closer, cos then i would give you a real one of these
Danni - goodluck with the job application, what a change that will all be. Are any of your family in QLD or Matts?
Prama - Do you reckon that Lakshman is getting cold an dthats why he is waking? I have recently started sleeping mj in a sleeping bag and a sheet and light blanket and she is sooooo much better - i think that she was getting cold, using energy to warm herself and then getting hungry quicker so needing a feed...
MJ woke last night at 1am for a feed, DH snored all night so i really havent had that much sleep, i feel soooo tired... MJ isnt awake yet, i try and get up 30mins before DH and MJ so that i can come on here with no interruptions, I also make DH sandwiches for morning tea - he wont eat untillunch if i dont tut tut....
will be back later, sorry its a short one...
Oh i know what i was going to say - woo hoo skye for the new machine !!!
We can put our on timer, i load it up at night, put it on a delay start for 9 hours, then it is done for the next morning, means that i can get a load hung first thing in the morning if its going to be a nice day - or i put it on a delay start and a soak, but its not going all day... its great for that.
heading out the door..
sj ive beenthinking that.. but he's in a spencer top, bodysuit, long sleeve sleeping bag, a sheet, blanket and wrap over him.
i might try another layer tonight. i knowhe's not hot...
off to dentist
bbl
SJ: No, neither of us have any family up there but I know my mum in particular would fly up to visit every couple of months. Matt lived in Brisbane for a couple of years before we met and still keeps in contact with friends up there so we'd know some people and would certainly get to know more.
I'm gonna ring the place in the next couple of days to make sure they got my application.
Thanks for all your words girls sorry my head was in such a spin and was having bait of a woe is me time hence the badly typed blurb. It will be ok drugs are starting to work just have to wait till the others arrive from Sydney at least I know what I am in for.
I gave Will some bananna this morning i wish I had a video camera I have never seen so many hilarious faces in all my life he HATED it. I kept trying as he usualy pulls a face with his start of a feed. I went and made up some apple and farex instead and he woolfed it down so its the first food he has refused.
Danni good on you wanting to follow a dream and move somewhere new I wish you the best of luck with the job
Skye I am with you on the teeting thing WIlls cheeks are glowing he looks like a bad cartoon of santa the dribble is unreal and he is whingy which isnt like him.I bought panadol today for the really tough times.HOws your machine going you washed out yet?
Trina any plans yet? hope you are all on the mend
Prama how did all the training go?
AM off to bed girls so hope its been agood day
Oh and hi Darlene if you are reading ;-)
Bron xx
Bron you are entitled to whinge geez woman! don't let us all take the whinge quota... Gotta get your share. Summer had banana for the first time this morning, she didn't mind it but not her fave, she hasn't really not liked anything yet, vegemite she pulled a funny face but she kept on shovelling it in. Its a messy business hey?
Tahnie has been off school for over a week, she has lost over 3kg's which is a lot for a little person she is so boney, going to probably send her tomorrow made her eat and eat today, had to almost force it on her to begin with. I have a sore throat too plus finally got AF for 1st time so generally feeling crappy.
Good on you SJ what a good wife you are.
Yay on the washing machine Skye makes washing fun (well for a little while) you'll be over it soon so enjoy the fun.... My washing machine died then not long after the dryer poo'd the bed too. Summer's little teeth are sooooo bloody sharp, she has just rubbed me a few times when feeding and OUCH!!!! I hope she doesn't decide to have a chomp any time soon.
Summer is quickly mastering commando crawling, she is constantly pushing up on hands and toes or hands and knees and can do the crawling motion with her legs but not the hands so much so ends up going on her belly and pushing on her elbows and knees or toes luckily she isn't too fast yet, if she sees something she wants she will find a way to get there with a mixture of rolling commando crawling and wiggling.
Off to bed nice clean sheets awaiting my fave thing.....
Ah you just popped up Skye.... I like the washing bit but the folding is the worst i don't have much room and theres piles of clothes everywhere then messy rooms messy drawers BLAH!!!!!! Tahnie tends to pull all clothes out of her drawers too so all nicely folded things all over the floor...
I don't have drawers for Bri. No point! I've got a big pink plastic tub with a lid.
Jaz is hopeless with drawers to, but she's not in the house as much to pull everything out!
DJ has his first real cold obviously got it from me. He has been really sooky and got some dimetap to give him before bed a friend of mine suggested it and said it will help his runny nose. Poor bubba so keeping him indoors for next few days and might sleep him with us tonight. He has been getting non stop cuddles as well.
This is my last week of maternity leave. Go into work tomorrow to meet with my boss about my projects etc for when I return. Kind of looking forward to it actually, especially getting back to work. I know it will be hard but I enjoy my job and I could never be a full-time mum - I always need brain stimulation. Typical gemini I suppose. Doni has promised to help me around the house as well.
Trina - oh wow on Summer's commando crawling that is fantastic. If I have DJ on my lap he tries to leap off to get to something but forgets he can't walk or crawl just yet. Don't think it will be long now, he is sitting up much better now.
Bron - isn't it funny to see their reactions from the different foods you give them. All learning...
Prama - are you going to class tomorrow it is the last one now. Ness isn't doing the personal training anymore..... I can't take DJ though he has a cold and I want to keep him indoors. Doni will look after him for me so I can do the class. I will feel odd without Dj though.
Skye - ahhhh teething.... DJ has been teething for almost 2 months now..... still no tooth though.....takes forever for those first teeth to come through.
Danni - good luck with your application.
Well I better go DJ is about to wake up for his last feed tonight.
I rang to make sure they got my application and told them again (even though it was in my cover letter) that I'm looking to relocate and really keen. But I got an email this afternoon telling me I was unsuccessful. I do wonder if it is because of my location. I've emailed back thanking them for taking the time to look at my resume and asking for feedback on why I was unsuccessful so I can improve for future applications.
I'm so sad. We've had a dream to move to QLD for almost 4 years. How can I make it happen? I don't want to pack up and move unless I have a job to go to, but it would be nice to just go and then look for a job but we can't afford to. One day maybe when we've paid a lot more off our loan we could take out another loan to move - that will be years away though.
Does anyone mix farax in a bottle with formula? If so, how much do you add to a full bottle?
I got a good response to my email asking why I was unsuccessful.
Hi Danielle,
Thanks for your email. We have had a HUGE response for this vacancy and
the applicants were of a very high standard. Your application was fine;
it just came down to who had the strongest skills and experience.
All the best.
So at least I know it wasn't anything to do with my location or a poorly written application or anything that I could have done better. I think I'll keep trying though and in the mean time, It looks like I'll be staying put at the uni which is good. We decided that if we don't get to QLD before hand, we'll wait till we've paid a bit more debt off (5-6 years) then take out another loan to get us there and help us live for a couple of weeks until I find a job. Although, I'd prefer to move before Jazz is old enough to start kindy/school and before we have number 2 (in about 3 years).
