Great to see you Mis-Tree. Sorry to hear Jess' DD is sick. Make she have a speedy recovery.
Today DD had one nap. So she went to bed at 6pm, she is still asleep. I accidently woke her up when I went into the bedroom to get something. I played with her for a few minutes, she wasn't in the mood despite the laughs and smiles she wanted to go back to sleep.
Well things here havnt been going well... With DP away last week, me sick and now looks like DD is sick also... Saturday & Sunday she was very sleepy all day (which i didnt mind) had a touch of mouth thrush and yesterday she was out of wack tummy seemed very unsettled she hardly had any routine just drinking when she felt like it... and only a small amount at a time... Then come afternoon she woke up with a temp... i thought it was from the HOT room (had the fan on but was stinking hot in her room) after 2 hours of not getting cooler i ran her a bath and gave her some neurophen. She was in bed by 6.30 and slept til 6 this morning. (YAY on that part) Woke up this morning and another fever... Her wee really smels yuk so not sure whats wrong with her... could be teething, tummy bug, maybe tonsilitis from me, who knows... i've been trying to get her to drink water or the hydrolite stuff (for dehydration) but she wont. sshe keep grabbing for booby but were on full bottles now and i have none at all.... Cant believe it first few days on only bottles and she's sick...
Well diet went out the window this weekend... Dp got home on saturday and we just spent the whole weekend together and it was kinda nice to not worry about cleaning or dieting etc... just relaxing and enjoying our time together... Well off for a walk... gotta get back on track the weight wont come off on its own.
Hey Mis-tree! welcome back! Gosh, I hope things improve with the respiratory problems... you guys are having a hard time with that! I just want to send you my vapouriser, it's sitting in my dining room doing nothing... (on a chair, too. My place is a mess!) Good luck with the allergy testing, I hope it's not an egg allergy. That would be a PITA, and you don't need any extra hassles, but there's some great support websites with heaps of helpful info on products to avoid and substitutes and all that, if that's what the tests show. I used to cook for a childcare centre with four kids with a different anaphylactic allergy each, but two of them were eggs and sesame products (together). It's not so hard. But then, it's not recommended that babies eat eggs, or at least egg white, until after 12 months. I guess now you know why! Well, either way I'm sure you'll manage fine... can't comment on your XP tho! I'm glad you have your sister and mum there for support, especially while you're both sick.
Jess, sorry to hear things aren't great with Tiahna. The extra sleep is good, but not when you know it's because she's not well. Poor bubba! Sounds very much like teething symptoms to me. I guess it could be another top tooth coming thru? Aadi's been the same for the last week, temps up, sleeping more, feeding heaps... and the stinky wee! Ewww!! I changed DS at 2:30 this morning coz I couldn't handle the smell! Hope you're all feeling better soon! Diet is a nasty four-letter word, I despise it.
It's been a rough night here last night. Aadi's in pain and screaming because of his top tooth cutting thru. He's got one, but the other one is just taking it's time and it's driving us all a bit nuts. He's so sensitive, if he finally goes to sleep and I move, he screams. If he rolls over in his sleep he screams. He's so clingy when he's awake, and then gets aggro and upset if I put him down to play for more than 30 seconds. The most toxic-smelling poo came out of him today, it was putrid! TMI!! I've never experienced anything like it, though, and he screamed and screamed from the first fart to the time I got another nappy on him and pulled him off the change table! He's wanting to feed all the time, up to three times a night and practically all day, so I'm drinking loads of water and aktavite. It doesn't help that it's 37 here today and I'm soooo tired... Things were going great for a while there, but the reality of it being just me and him all day is making us both a bit cranky now. He's finally having a nap, so I think we'll head to the pool this afternoon. I'm going to have a snooze with him for a bit now tho. My eyeballs feel like they're going to shrivel up... yes, the holidays are well and truly over!
It is so hot here today... yuck
I love the beach and have been taking hamish nearly everyday as we only live around 100metres from the ocean, but today is just way too hot for bubs. Maddi has gone with my sister and her kids, she texts me every now and then about how beautiful the water is and she jumped off the pier , kinda not happy about that as firstly it is prohibited by the local police and also wanted to do it too..lol Use to jump of it all the time when i was a kid and well yeah adult, havent really grown up when it somes to water. Hopefully if it cools off this afternoon we will join everyone.
Jess - hope you are feeling better soon, and hopefully it is just teething with tiahna and she isnt getting tonsilitis aswell. On the diet thing, i started and stopped and started again but i am not very strict on myself so i need to get cracking as it will no drop off on its own.
Mis - good to see you back on here again, i noticed you ans stanks are not well again, poor little fella, has had a very rough trot lately and now you having it aswell, as NaNa said its good you have family to help. And as for your ex Dp he sounds like he will never learn.
Hamish is sleeping fine again and the feeding is almost half and half, i cant seem to produce enough milk for him but i am trying my utmost to keep feeding but i think im only kidding myself. At the moment i feed him when he wakes and around lunch time then i top up with formula then i feed late afternoon and he has formula at night time. So its not too bad, i would like to hang on as long as possible but i know i have done a good job to get this far so i wont be too disappointed if i have to stop. Hamish is still not crawling properly but pulls himself up on furniture and anything he can atm. I best brave the heat and hang the last load of washing out while he is sleeping.
Hi to everyone else.
Deancey you must be getting excited/nervous about starting your course soon. I have enquired about doing the return to nursing, as it is 5 years since i have worked in industry i am entitled to a government grant, just looking into specifics atm.
Well DD is still having fevers and not sure why..... can oral thrush cause fevers.... DD has had it for the last few days but i didnt put the 2 together until i realised she might be in pain or discomfort... I've never had oral thrush so not sure if its painful but DD has been crying for no reason..... took her a long time to fall asleep last night but when she finally did at 10.30 she slept til 4.30 had a bottle and is still playing in the loungeroom...
She's loving sitting up with jordan (think he enjoys it too) She's trying to be happy and her normal self but just doesnt seem to be 100%..... so were off to the GP today also speech with DS...
Abb- i used to love the beach until i put on so much weight... now i detest summer and all water sports... Hopefully once i drop this extra 40 kgs i would LOVE to loose i might enjoy it again...Your doing great with the BF.... I got a bit upset again when DD started the fevers.... It was like the minute i start full time formula then she gets sick.... Have to admit BF is SOOOO much easier and cheaper.... I have gone throw almost 1 tin in less then a week.... And she has to be on the HA which can be $20-25 a tin..... plus the washing sterilising etc.... Phew... i tell you you miss the convienience of a quick "pop" out of the boob.... DD still isnt used to waiting for me to make her a bottle... She isnt very patient... hehe.... Also sounds great looking into the nursing again...
NaNa- Its good to have you back... Were having those toxic poops also... i'm changing her so much the last few days cos i cant stand the smell... its like 1 wee and i have to change her... Pong.... Well done on the BF also the heat really dropped my supply to nothing even with drinking 3-4 litres a day...Keep up the good work tho,....
Sass-- I guess if being healthy was easy we wouldnt have fat people... It sucks..... the thing i am noticing is i just have to dust myself off and get up and try all over again... Too many time i have said its too hard.... I really dont wanna be like this so its time to get tough on myself... we'll see... It wont happen over night but hopefully this time next yr i'll have a nice slender body... hehe
Mis- Glad to see you back in here... I read about Stanky's incident... Poor bubba.... Glad you got somethings sorted and are getting some help... Wish i could get some ova here... feels like all i'm doing is accomodating other people.... it sucks being nice you get walked all over...
I kinda freaked Dp out last night when i was talking about the new baby bonus scheme... You now get $5000 in 13 fortnightly payments of 382 (i think from memory) and i was saying its like maternity payment now.... he was like.... I'll have to get another job to feed everyone etc etc... OMG how will we manage with 3 kids... Blah blah... He's so not ready for another baby... I was a bit upset with him saying 5 yrs tme but i think its just to make me lay off the subject... HEHE... i think he seeis himself getting older and not being able to do all the thinks other guys his age are doing... He's approaching the big 30 in few yrs and i think he's feeling OLD or something... HAHAHA.... It cracks me up that he's freaked out about getting older....
