Oh sheers Vic, we have one just around the corner. If they don't have one I will certainly be calling on you.
Sheree have sent you an email.
Welcome to 6months Shaun!
Awww.... thanks Sheree... and Kim !!
I took some photos of Shaun today to 'celebrate'.
My dad used to write on a piece of paper (3 months, 4 months etc) when he used to photograph me... so I did the same too.
I wrote: "I am six months old today... and the date" and had that in most of his photos.
I also took photos of Shaun with all his trophies... although he was trying to EAT THEM !! God, he puts EVERYTHING in his mouth!!!
We don't have one of those stores here, so that would be great, if you give me ur bank a/c details I will deposit money + postage. No rush either, thanx for that.
Oh and Kim didn't think about hotmail email, derrr.... will have a look soon once I get this man to sleep and post the link for you.
Evening Ladies,
Well as i expected the results were'nt too good. The dr did a pg test and the same thing happened as the home tests. The pg line was VERY faint. So i got sent for a b/t and i get the results on Wednesday.
I have a terrible feeling this pg is'nt going to be viable. My periods were due a week ago. With Briley my af was 1 week late and when i tested the lines came up real dark straight away. I am wondering if the pg is going to even progress any further than here. :crying:
I am trying not to panic too much. I'm and hoping and praying that everything will be ok.
Sorry girls, not up for personals tonight.
BB in the morn....
Sara just remember every pregnancy is different and each pregnancy has different HCG levels, be positive darlin you will be fine.
Kim sent you that web address on my personal email, I hate using hotmail.
And can you tell me how much of that calm do you give. The label says 1ml every 1/2 hour then 4 hourly. Is this every day????
This is what I tried posting last night only my internet wasn't working....
Happy 6mths Shaun!!
Nat: I haven't been watching Oz Idol too much and I thought Damien would win anyway hehe. Good to hear your feeling a bit better.....Don't over do it though you don't want to get sicker.
Shazz: OMG!! You sound awful!! I hope you get better soon....I haven't been sick in ages (touch wood)...Not looking forward to it. I hope Ryan sleeps better for you tonight!!
Kim: Well done for getting all those things done!! I am still struggling to keep up with everything, especially lately as Jayden has been a shocking sleeper. Big W had sleeping bags for about $20 but I think that was just over winter....They had paddington bear ones on clearance for $2 a couple of months ago....They had no boy ones in Jayden's size but had heaps of girl ones, I bought one for my niece....I'll let you know next time I go if they have summer ones.
Vic: Enjoy the rest of your night....good job getting all 4 kids to bed by 8.30!!
Sheree: That is great that Lachie is feeding better.....even though he drank less today, things sound like they are still looking up! When are you in town next?
Jodie: I have taken a heap of photos too for Jayden's 6mths.....This weekend alone I have taken around 250 photos....(not just of Jayden but most of them are hehe).
Sorry for the lack of personals.....there is too much to catch up on and I can't be on here all night....WAY too tired!! Who was talking about DTD not long ago or lack of it?? I am so embarrassed to say that Chris and I DTD for 1st time in 9mths about 2 weeks ago!!! Not because I didn't want to either!!
Jayden is still waking up for a feed at night only now its 2am and he wakes again at 4.30/5am and I have to rock him to sleep. I get up around 4 or 5 times a night but a few of those he goes back to sleep quickly or just wants the dummy back in. So between work, Jayden and the house I am buggered beyond belief lately.....I nearly fell asleep at work today only the phone snapped me out of it!!
I don't think I mentioned it but Chris has finished the season at the Sugar mill but has already got another job within the mill which pays heaps better (esp for Bundaberg) so it looks like I can stay part time after all, although Chris wants me to go FT anyway so we get heaps more money hehe greedy boy!! Last season I suggested he take a month or so off and then look for work, but big mistake as he didn't get proper work for the entire 6mths.
Anyway I have typed way more than I intended........Have a good night everyone
oxoxox
I'm keeping my fingers and toes crossed for you Sara!! I hope everything turns out ok for you!! Positive thoughts!!
Jayden only woke up once last night just before 1am I was up for about half hour with him screaming like he was in pain and VERY upset.....Not sure what was wrong with him. I went to heat up a bottle for him as he was no where near ready for sleep and by the time I got back he was asleep so I didn't give it to him and he slept through til 6am!! So hopefully he is getting better again with his sleep. Has anyone given teir dog formula? Chris told me to give our dogs the bottle I heated up but didn't use but I don't know if its ok for them or not??
Only a half day at work today (2hrs or so) as Jayden has his 6mth check up....I can't wait to see what he is weighing these days!!
Have a good day girls
Morning Ladies,
HAPPY 6 MONTHS SHAUN!!!
Briley crawled a little bit thismorning. Brent got up early with her and let me sleep in for a while. They were laying on the loungeroom floor and she got up on her knees crawled a tiny bit and then rolled onto her back! Won't be long now.
I rang a couple of employment places yesterday too see if i could get any temp work while Brent is home to watch Briley. I rang one place and they had a Gov. contract that came in late friday. It starts next monday and goes to the end of January. I spoke to my sister about watching Briley for me if Brent goes back to work in the mean time and she said it was fine.
So hopefully i'll get that. I am pretty positive as i have a fair bit of gov experience too. I sent my resume off yesterday so i am just waiting for a reply now.
Shazz - Oh you sound horrible you poor darling!! Hope you feel better soon. At least your DH is nice and supportive. It always helps! Have you tried Sedagel for ryans teething??? I use that and bongella on Briley it they work a treat.
Tania - That is great news about Chris getting the new job!! Things seem to be really working out for your guys lately dont they!! I wish they would for us! So what are you going to do?? Are you going to go p/t or stay f/t?? The extra money would be good for xmas time.
Sheree - Sorry to hear that lachie is refusing again. I spse it all has to be done in baby steps. Good luck. I hope all goes back to normal soon.
Hi to everyone else. Hope you are all well. Thanks for all your support. I really appreciate it. :hug:
Feeling yucky again thismorning. Just having a bowl of weetbix and i am feeling like i need to chuck it up!! Sorry if TMI. I am hoping that this is a good sign that i AM pg!!
I have to go back to the Dr tomorrow to get the blood results. I am nervous. I feel like i am pg. But i have no idea what's going on with the pg tests!!!
Not much on around here today as usual. Brent wants to do a spring clean of the house but i just dont have the energy.
Went out to mums for tea lastnight and she sent me home with her assignment for Tafe and wants me to finish it!! I can't even go out to her place anymore with out her wanting me too do em. I am sick of it!! If i dont help her she cracks it at me. Its not just a small assignment either. 1500 words!!! And it has to be completed by thursday. :eek:
Sorry about that.....i just had to vent!! :boohoo:
Anyways....
BBL
Need a hand Sara?? I'm a nerd and could write that in a couple of days. Hope your blood tests are good. I have a 'feeling' that they will though. I think you're having a boy.
Vic my shop only had 000 0000 so I need a 0. Do you reckon you could have a look? Don't care what colour and I'll just deposit the $$ for you.
We had a lovely day today driving around the countryside. Went to the water, and some historic little shops. Bought Darcy this cool dragon for her room. It's really cute. She loved swimming in the rockpools too.
Had had enough by about 4 this morning and wrapped her....but that's better than nothing.
BBL
afternoon all
well i feel a tad better though i can't hear any thing at all out of my left ear went to the doctor today and am on antibotic so hopefully they will kick in soon
Evening Ladies
Kim - Yeah i'd love a hand if your serious!! A BOY????? I would love that! And i know brent would too. I hope your right and everything is going to be ok. Sounds like you and Darcy had a great day out!!
Vic - Wow your a busy lady then are'nt you!! At least they are a bit older and can help you out a bit hey.
Shazz - Glad to hear your feeling a bit better today. Ear infections are the worst!!
Mum just rang to see what the results came back as. She thought i was getting them back today. She said...."So???? What did the results say???" I was like what results?? And she reckons the ones from your little bloody test. She said it real smarta** like too. I said why are you acting like its a bad thing?? She said i am not but you's can't afford it. I said well we will have too won't we.
I know its not the best timing but we honestly did'nt think that we were going to be in this position. I know its going to be hard. But those are the facts. Brent will get a job soon. Its a whole lot easier for men to find work than women.
We rang around a heap of places today and got him registered with a few labour hire companies so it's all a bit waiting game now. The guy i sent my resume to yesterday called me and said he recieved it and i will find out tomorrow wether i got the job. Mum also said there was a maternity releif job at her work coming up. The lady is due to have her baby in 3 weeks. So we'll see how it all pans out.
Brent has cooked me a lovely dinner tonight. Baked chicken breast on a spit marintated in Chinese 5 spices served with roast vegies!! Mmmmm Mmmmmm. I am looking forward too it.
Hey Vic size 0 for Lachlan might be too big, his is still only in size 0000 and 000.
Tania - nice to hear from you, I went to town today honey. What does Jayden weigh.
Shazz - glad you are feeling better
Kim - yeah you did well not to wrap her for most of the nite then.
Sara - your blood tests will be fine and I agree with Kim, you are having a boy.
Ohhh I meant to ask the other day, Tania mentioned that is the 3rd one from our thread pregnant, what have I missed, who else is preggas???
Lachlan was better with the bottle today again, so I guess we are just going to be up and down all the time, just I get excited and think yay the tube is getting closer to being gone and then he has a bad day and I get dissapointed easily.
Had to go to centerlink today to apply for a healthcare card for Lachlan, these supplies for tube feeding are going to cost me soon. Lucky enough the brissy and bundy hospitals had given me enough on the sly to make do until now.
Saw my mum off today, my house is spotless again YAY!
Oh and Lachlan is not sleeping well again, but not as bad as when he had that machine running all nite long.
Ohhh and I forgot to say too cute a dragon kim.
Thanks Sheree. I'm going to get it a name tag lol. Preggies - Christine (can't think of her sign on name) and Jemima (oh and Sara of course).
Sara what's your assignment on??? GeesSara you'd think your mum would back you up....after all you are doing her assignements! You're right everything will work out.
Oh ok thanx Kim, didn't know that!
Hey Kim did you answer my question on Brauers Calm, couldn't see that you did, forgive me if you did.
stop stressing sara all will work out in the end i'm predicting pink
sheree glad lachie was doing better again today
Kim ~ i was also wondering about the Calm question of sherees
Kim - Assignment is on Multiple Scleosis....
Mum is doing her EN's and always expects me to help out/do her assignments!! You have done your RN's have'nt you??
So are we going to put on a bet on wether we will have blue or pink????
Anyways...
I am off to bed. Just finished cleaning the house. Off to dr tomorrow. Can't wait to find out.
Talk in the morning
Ni night girls!!
Sheree: Sorry I haven't been around much lately....things are getting a bit on top of me ATM...Can't wait to catch up again though!!
Sara: Good luck hon for your BT results......Don't worry about the money thing, where there's a will there's a way :hug: ...Well that worked for us. Things were looking up for us well they still are financially (finally).
Well on the IL front...."apparently" I'm also a bad mother!!:angry: FIL apparently said that a while ago (I only found out today) and my BIL had stuck up for me saying that I am a very good mother from what he has seen..........OMG did that make my blood boil 10 times more!!
On the work front I have been given 3 choices, I either go back FT in the role I do now, I go back part time (hrs are yet to be determined) in a new role where I would have to go to Bris for 3 days training and then another day in bris for different training and is also a role I don't want to do as it has sales targets and I would have clients that I would have to suck up to, or my boss will support me in finding a new job!!. It was not what I expected at all and I was so close to crying during the meeting with him......I was so glad I was only there for an hour and a bit today!! I am really over work now and feel a little betrayed as he said he would accomadate to what I needed.....Oh well can't win them all I guess. Oh and to top it off he said " I understand if you need to think about it so you can let me know TOMORROW!!" So I have one day to decide the immediate future for Jayden!!
Jayden's check up went pretty good....CHN said Jayden will refuse food if he didn't want it and I won't kill him or he won't explode LOL. He weighs 8.27kg :eek: 44.5cm HC and 66cm length. I have to get another checkup in a month to double check his HC as it has crossed percentiles (but so has his weight), hips need checking again as he tensed up for her and also his left teste needed to be "coaxed" down.....not sure what that is about but she said it could have been because it was cold haha poor boy!! I turned his seat around today too....He's not too sure about it but he will get used to it. His eyes were nearly popping out of his head as I was driving to a toy raffle tonight it was so cute!!
Anyway got a heap to do as usual and some sleep to fit in somewhere hehe have a good night
oxoxoxox
OMG!! Jayden finally slept through......and I was awake worrying about work until 3am!!!
Chris and I were listening to Jayden on the monitor this morning he was gooing and gaaing away then Chris said...."Did he just say mummy?"......It sounded like it but he hasn't said it again and we have both been trying to get him to haha so maybe not...who knows hehehe
He also attempted crawling yesterday morning....I worked the legs and he worked the arms
Morning ladies,
Tania - Man you have some issues with you IL's!!! Thats gotta suck! I do sometimes but they dont live close enough for me to see them all the time which is good i spse. Well thats an ultimatum from your work!! So they are basically saying you can either do this or that or seya!! Not very supportive hey. I'm sure the decision you make will be the right one for you and Jayden.
Jayden is growing nicely is'nt he. Those are great results. I am taking Briley next monday i think it is. Or maybe tuesday!! I wonder what she is now....
Well we off into town to try and find Brent a job today. I have printed off 6 resumes for him so we can register with a few other labour hire places.
Dr's at 1ish, can't remember time exactly. So i hope you all have a good day.
BBL
Good luck for both you and Brent today!!!! Is Briley getting her 6mth checkup or needles? Or both hehe......Good luck for that too!
Issues is an understatement with my inlaws....Unfortunately they are a 2 min drive away....oh and guess who found the house for us when we were still living in Melb?? You guessed it....the IL's, should have known they'd find something close to them!! I can't wait to move.
Gosh I am in a bad mood today....god help whoever I have to soeak to today LOL....Jayden is going to family day care xmas party today at the botanic gardens, they are seeing santa and going on the train....I wish I could be there to see his 1st train ride but I can't.....I did consider taking the day off seen as I've only had a few hours sleep but I can't do that either....I'll feel guilty!!
Have a good day all
oxoxox
:hug: Tania, you are having a crappy week! IL's totally suck. Oh and your FIL would know all about 'mothering' wouldn't he....not! I told Cam the other day if he turned out like I've discovered his parents to be, I'll leave him. End of story. You get my sympathy. As for work that's appalling! Shame you can't be with Jayden today. And that's great news about his weight (he weighs a kilo MORE than Darc now) and his sleeping.
Sara, email me the question, I'll see what I can find. Thinking of you today hon. Positive thoughts for Brent too.
Sheree I have emailed you but Shazz, I do the four doses as it says, I only follow up on the four hourly thing if she's really really unsettled. But the four doses are an everday thing.
Well this sleep thing is still s**t. I was up so often at 4.30 I just laid in bed with her while she screamed and cried myself. I am so tired on my 1.5hrs a night that I physically cannot stand and rock her. For those of you that I forwarded that chain email to, I'm really sorry but you can probably figure out my wish....yes I'm that desperate.
Off to retry the photo mission today.
Oh thanks anyway Vic. That's a bit sad about Odie. Good luck finding a home for him. Tehe I agree with the nursing home bit, only mine think we owe them (and have lots of money) and should look after them.....that's THEIR daughters job, and even though they are both unwell, I bet they last til they're 105.
Yes, I'm a bad poster. I know I said I'd post more often, but it just doesn't stop around here. I don't know where you gals get the time... especially Vic and Jess with their hands so full!
I just wanted to pop in and say GOOD LUCK to Sara... I will be checking MSN later if I can to see how you went.
All your bubs are looking so gorgeous! And grown up! I can't believe it's been 6 months (or more) since we were all pg together. Crazy.
I'm sorry that I haven't had time to read back over too many posts (only the last few pages). I've had rehearsals coming out my ears and I'm about to embark on 12 days straight of gigs (as of tomorrow) in and around Brisbane. Stop the train, I want to get off! It's all a bit much, but we need the money so I can't turn it down. I tell you what though, I will be thoroughly sick of Christmas carols by the end of next week!
Apart from that there's not really much *news* to tell, IYKWIM. I have been offered a teaching job at a primary school (music) as of July next year and I'm not looking forward to it at all. I wish I could stay at home until the kids go to school but DH really needs to get out of his soul-destroying job and do something he actually enjoys part time and be a SAHD the rest of the time. Toby is doing brilliantly - he usually only wakes up once, occasionally twice, these days and goes straight back to sleep. He rolls over like a pro (and often sleeps on his belly) and can almost sit up on his own. I reckon he'll be crawling before the month is out, but I hope not! With Charlie I wanted him to crawl/walk as soon as possible but I don't mind how long Toby takes - the longer my house is left undestroyed the better!
Anyway, better go and get the kids up - I need to walk to the shops before it gets too late (our car sh*t itself the other day. :( ). Hope you're all doing well and big hugs to all of you and your little fellas.
Hi Kell great to hear from you wow i don't know where you get your energy from 12 days straight i bet you'll be glad when it is over
Afternoon Ladies,
Well went the Dr's. Blood came back with a positive result but with very low HCG levels. They were only 206. I have to go back for another blood test on Monday. If the levels are still low i have to go for an u/s too see what is happening.
She did mention something about a eptopic pregnancy too. So i just have to wait and see now.
I have mixed emotions about the whole thing. I have a lot going on at home and am under quite a bit of stress. I am trying to remain calm but. I am just very confused! I have never been in this position before.
Brent got a job. Starts friday but he needs to get a blue card before then and we dont have ANY money to pay for the course. So we'll have to try and borrow some money from somewhere.
I keep singing this line out of a Brooks and Dunn song. For those who dont know who Brooks and Dunn are they are a country duo!
Times are hard and the money's tight
Day to day we fight that fight
Nothing new, it's the same old grind
Uphill all the way
Boss man says forget the raise
Preacher says to keep the faith
Good things come to those who wait
Tomorrow's another day
Our time is coming
When or where the good Lord only knows
Our time is coming
When this road we're on will turn to a street of gold
Definately puts it into perpective for us!!
Thanks for coming in too see how things were Kellee. That was a very nice gesture and i really appreciate it. Sorry i have'nt really got that good of news. Maybe next week!! This whole saga is dragging on!!
Oh honey.....try and stay positive! As you know stressing won't help any but I know all too well, its easier said than done!! Chris just got his blue card online for I think $80. I don't know what else to say but know that I'm thinking of you and hope everything turns out the way you want!!
Kim: Unfortunately Chris is already starting to show signs of his father...but I don't think he will get that bad.....I'll make Jayden send Darcy his sleepy vibes haha...I'm not getting too excited yet it could have been a 1 off. I hope Darcy starts sleeping very soon! LOL @ IL's living til 105.....FIL will too just to spite me hahaha
Vic: When you find that place for your IL's let me know so I can send FIL there LOL. I want to get into photography and SIL#4(hairdresser) and I want to do glamour pics but I need to get off my butt and learn how to use our camera properly. As much as Chris wants me to go FT he has reaslised how upset it has made me and said if I don't like it to find something PT.....Not easy in Bundy though hehe. That is sad about Odie but sounds like a wise decision....Have you got anyone in mind to take him? I would but I have 2 naughty dogs already hehe I'll ask around if you like
Kellee: OMG 12 gigs in a row!! You will be glad when its over...Great to hear the kids are well.
Jayden stayed at SIL's today and didn't go to the park.....felt bad for him but glad he didn't go on the train without me haha.....I had another meeting with my boss today and told him I will go FT, he was shocked and didn't expect it so he has to make some calls now as he planned on me staying PT, I could barely talk through the whole thing and was fighting back the tears and would have said about 5 sentances in the 4 hrs I was there and most of them contained the "F" word!! I picked up Jayden and didn't hang around for lunch because I wanted to come home and cry.....I don't know why I am so emotional over all this but I can't help it. Jayden is still asleep, I hope he doesn't sleep too much longer otherwise he probably won't sleep tonight.
Kim I know how you feel on the sleeping thing although Lachlan isn't quite as bad as Darcy, but it really gets exhausting hey, but atleast Wade helps me every step of the way. I am so sorry I wish I could snap my fingers and make it better. You would think these babies of our would get better as they get older, but nope worse, just doesn't make sense, but I guess my boy has been thru hell of late too so hopefully things will get better soon. As I said to someone today I guess I can't have the best of both worlds, not everything can go smoothly hey!!!! NOT!!!!
Tania - I must admit I do miss you, but I totally understand too. I would be a wreck, you are doing so well. Yay on Jayden sleeping thru and bugger about your job, not defending him at all, but atleast he had heaps of options for you, he has a business to run and most boses would not be so obliging especially in private enterprise. Disapointing but true. So do you know what you are going to do??? Don't take any of that the wrong way either, but he is a nice boss at the end of the day. I guess I have had terrible bosses up until recent times and I couldn't imagine any of them saying they will help me find another job, as harsh as that sounds too I guess. You are sensitive as anyone would be and I understand how you would be looking at such comments too. Hugs and kisses to you, what a tough one. Ring me if you wanna talk ok.
Sara - how far are you? My HCG levels were low too, I have them recorded I might be able to compare with you to keep your mind at ease.
Kellee - nice to hear from you, and again I think you are one super mum.
Sorry if I missed anyone else I just can't think and don't have time to go and re-read atm sorry.
And for those of you that asked, can't see the tube coming out in the near future, as he is still up and down with his feeding of fluids, will speak to Pead about it more in detail on Friday, he will be shocked my boy is eating solids, was going to ring him but will surprise him on Friday.
Well everyone we got weighed today and OMG OMG OMG -
Lachlan now weighs 6.52kgs,
He put on 408g in 8 weeks
Can you believe it.
Wade said today, it took him a life time to get to 6kgs and now it looks like he will be out of the 6 kg range within a week or two at this rate!
His length is 64cm and HC is 45cm.
My CHN was soooo shocked!
Well done Lachie......that is great weight gain!!
I know Andrew is a good boss...I was just dissapointed that I couldn't do what he originally said. I nearlly called you this arve...I was going to come out there but thought you don't want to listen to me whinge LOL. I will have even less time as of Monday
Hi everyone!!:hello:
when i was pg i was on BB constantly but for the past 12 months we haven't had internet access. i am very excited to be back!Archie Connor was born on 5th of May, 9lb 6oz, 50cm. he had an op on his tummy at 3wks and as a result now has severe reflux. he also has urinary reflux which he will hopefully grow out of without an op.
Thats a little bit about me, i can't wait to get to know you all, i do remember some of you from the pg threads last year. please ignore any photos or tickers that show on my post i will fix them as soon as i have the chance
Ohhh Tania, ring me, ring me now u naughty girl, better still I will see if u r on MSN. U should have come out, whinge or not I am here ALWAYS!!!!!!!
Hi Widdly, yes I remember, sounds like you have had a rough trot, my boy has severe reflux too, would love to talk to you about it, talking to other people in similar situations really helps I even joined RISA - REflux Infants support association ONLINE, and they have been great! What operation did you little boy have?
Hey Widdly! I don't remember you but welcome! Cool name for Archie! Nother refluxer here too, but Darcy's is no where near as bad as Lachies. I have urinary reflux though and I am having an op to fix it but not til next year and that will make me 28 without one! (didn't actually find it til my kidney started to fail during preg), apparently I've always had it though.
Kellee! Hon know you're too busy to read but we think of you! Glad Toby and Charlie are good.
The photos were awful today. Only took the freebie. Got one with Santa too. Will have to scan it though.
Sheree - i would love to talkto you about severe reflux too, i have been isolated since archie was born, i am joining a mothers group tomorrowand im sure u are right about talking to others in similar situations, i think i will feel alot more positive after talking to others mums. archie had Pyloric Stenosis, food could go no further than his stomach due to thick muscle growth so the milk would pool up in his stomach then he would projectile vomit for 12 hours straight. it sounds as if u have had a rough trot too, i'd give u a big hug if i could:hug:
kim - i hear its more common in females, did it cause much trouble during ur pregnancy??
Elissa
Archie - 6mths
ttc #2
Elissa - yes I know phloric stenosis, Wade had that as a baby and when you said operation I wondered if that is what you were talking about. They also thought Lachlan may of had it with his power vomitting of late, but it just appears that it was possibly all of the following:
1. The scope aggrevated things
2. His reflux had become even worse yet, just when I thought it couldn't get any worse
3. We were over extending his belly (from tube feeding him - possibly too much!)
Lachlan has only just come good after a good couple of months of in and out of hospitals. His recent visit as I said was forceful power vomitting. A good 60-80 ml would come up just gushing like a whale out of the little fellas mouth. Just terrible.
Prior to this forceful vomitting we had a feeding tube put in as he was refusing feeds and the only way we could feed him was in his sleep. It just got really bad and very stressful.
When they diagnosed him at 4 weeks of age he was comfort feeding and then he became a baby who refused to feed, even solids was a dam struggle.
He was a typical severe reflux case of refusal and failure to thrive and has only of recent times start to gain some decent weight with his whole desire of hungriness for food, which we never thought we would see the day!
I would love to hear some of your trials and tribulations, it truely is a very hard illness to live with day in and day out! One that you somehow get thru and they oneday grow out off, yippee I say, bring it on.
There is much more to the story, but that gives you a little insight to the hurdles we have encountered thus far.
Nice to hear from you again.
Oh and TTC # 2, are you crazy. LOL.
Elissa ,only one hospitalisation and a fair bit of preeccamplsia - post natally. Will have to have preventatives before the next pregnancy. No biggie.
Righto off to bed girlies....have a huge headache. Darcy's decided she prefers to sleep on her side now she's a big girl and not wrapped and I've given her a toy to hold as she fiddles with her hands and wakes herself up. Now just to get her to go back to sleep on her belly....
...I don't think she's crazy LOL, wish we could afford to but have to go back to work to earn some more mat leave. Sara I'm jealous of you hon (and Christine and Jemima) :(
I was only saying crazy, due to having a child with reflux, very trying times. I am not sure I am going back in a hurry, and we can afford it lol. I couldn't handle 2 x reflux kids atm, one is certainly enough.
My CHN keeps saying to me it is a wonder that I even want to go back for more, but I am sure things will get easier and it will all be a distant memory b4 too long, "PRAYING"
*deep breath*
Hi, remember me?? I was wondering if I could join back in this group of lovely ladies??? I have been keeping up to date with everyone when I get the chance to come in and read. Sounds like you and your bubs are all going well.
Anyway, just wanted to pop in and say hi and if its ok, I will be back on a regular basis.
