leanne - i wish we lived closer too, would be great to regularly catch up. Glad your girls day went well, well done on raising the money. Hope your dinner goes well tonight.
Had a good night last night. My Uncle, Aunty and there 6 and 3 year old boys stayed the night. We went to the local show. Archie went on the kids rollercoaster and the clowns, he had fn, but was a bit overwhelmed by all the noise and fast rides going on around him.
Oh my selfish aunty though!! She is 26 weeks pg with their 3rd bub, who she acidenta;;y on purpose got pregnant with. Well last night she got ****ed! 4 big glasses of wine, i could hardly believe she would be that selfish. She was joking about how the baby must be ****ed in there and how the baby stopped moving after the second drink. She really does not deserve this poor baby, it'll only be ignored for the rest of its life like her other two kids. Okay b!tch over.
I have an extremely over hung husband who is still in bed, a trashed house and a house inspection in the morning.....really should not be on here!'
Hi girls
sorry no personals tonight, just settled ashlea from her screaming episode....rarely happens so can't compain! I keep forgetting to mention, I spoke to Nat a couple of weeks ago and she said to say hi and she is thinking of you all.
Well I best get to bed, Jayden only went to sleep at 11.15pm! They both better sleep in!
Why do I get dropped off the email notification listing.
And here I was thinking you were all being quiet!
Havin a really rough time with Riley. Starting to resent him, just like I did Lachlan. I just wish I wasn't going thru these feeding issues again! Wouldn't wish this upon my worst enemy.... Ohhhh to have a child that would just eat!!!!!
Just had a quick flick at what you have all been talking about and YES YES YES Sara.
We have known no different though. Lachlan has rarely ever slept thru, but lately he is waking up screaming and inconsolable. I am wondering if it is dreams. He just won't settle, takes forever and that is saying something when most times we just go in and find his bottle he puts it in his mouth and goes back to sleep. Lachlan was sweating last night and everything, has to be nitemares huh????
Yeah Riley is a much better sleeper then Lachlan. I get up to Lachlan more then Riley. Although both of my boys have fought sleep, Riley is a shocker, but once down he is generally down for the count!

My Riley is a shocking sleeper too, he has woken up crying recently saying "scary, scary" so I think its bad dreams but then again when has he ever slept well except straight after tresillian? LOL
Well I went to see that ABA lady yesterday. I didn't realise until I got there and we started talking that not only is she a volunteer for the ABA, but she is a CHN and Midwife too! When she said that I felt such immense relief. Finally I have help!!!
He was so unsettled yesterday, for my trip to Emerald (an hour away), I just couldn't console him.... I was so glad I left Lachlan with his father at the shop. I just couldn't have done both.
Anyway at my nail appt he put a big performance for his feed that when I got to see the ABA lady - sure enuf he was fine. Well kinda.... He lached on fine and was sucking for a good few minutes and then pulled off and wouldn't go back on. Now this the best he has done in a while (always the way), but..... she could then see how he protested to go back on and applauded me for not forcing him and showed me some different positions too. Now when I sat him up, omg was he upset. She could see if was in a terrible amount of pain and said it has to be reflux.
I think because of how severe Lachlan was, I continually doubt myself that we are there again. Having her confirm that I am not going crazy took a huge amount of pressure off my shoulders. The support she gave me was amazing and right when I was needing it too. She told me I am doing a wonderful job and the way I am handling his feeding is comendable. I have developed the attitude lately that I will not force him to the boob, and she said that is def the way to be atm, as I don't want to scare him off it.
Now she said we should definitely ditch the zantac and go onto Losec.
So I rang my paed today (she is very aquainted with us because of Lachlan's history), and she faxed thru a script to Bundaberg so we can have the suspension sent to us in two parts. Impossible to get it here cold where we live. We use to live in Bundy/Gin gin area, so knew the chemist as he regularly filled our Losec scripts for Lachlan and when we moved here had him do the same (ie: send it in two parts, so that we could mix and then put in the fridge).
The ABA lady suggested that I go off dairy, but the paed said just to give the Losec two weeks and then we will decide if that is the next step or not. Otherwise we won't know what is working or not!
So feeling so much more at ease today, knowing full well I have support around me if I need it.
Just never thought we would be going down this road again, but hopefully it is shortlived. Lachlan wasn't off Reflux meds until 18mths, I am hoping Riley comes good alot sooner then that. Here's hoping.
Sorry about the me posts lately, just been so overwhelmed with this feeding and it has been getting me down. Hopefully we are now on the right track and I can start chatting to you girls again real soon.
Thanks for your support. Sometimes I wonder what I would do without my internet buddies.
Sheree- so glad you got to see a supportive person. You are doing a great job, look how big and healthy Riley is because of it. Hopefully the Losec will help, I know DH is a mess even if he misses one day of it so I can only imagine what it must be like for a little baby.
Bummer you ar so isolated there, it must be very difficult. I thought Emerald was small when we were there LOL Where my cousin lived at Middlemount was like the ends of the earth!
When did you go to Emerald and Middlemount.? You have to drive past Tieri from Emerald to get to Middlemount. Yeah it sux being isolated at times, but mainly due to no family support or medical services and who am I kidding the Shopping. But as long as we are all together as a family that is all that matters.
Sheree!
