Thanks dan, I sent DH to the chemist last night and we tried the sachet gastrolyte and I put it in his bottle, he had one sip and wouldnt drink anymore. He was OK though during the night, but he did this yesterday, had brekkie then didn't eat for the rest of the day, then started again at night. I am thinking he might just be nauseus so doesnt want to risk eating Might take him to the Dr in case it is an ear infection or something - although he has not been febrile - Ah, I am at a loss. Hope Livvy gets better.

Lee - My Mum got the poos instead of the spews, so did my sisters kids, so must be some fine bugs breeding up hey! hope ethan gets better soon also.

tan - how is Izzy, is she still sick?

I am hoping Angus will be better by his birthday. His birthday falls on Sunday which is great cause we will have his party then also. having a pirate party in the park, cause my hand is still sore, I dont reallt want to have to clean my house from top to bottm to entertain here slack hey!!

Anyway, better get ready and organise my kiddies!!! Hope evryone has a nice day!

Hi All!

Dan, lee, tan - How are the sick bubba's going?? Think gastro must be the sickness of the moment - everyone I talk to has had the spews or squirts yuck!

I took Angus to the GP today, and he sent me straight to the hosp Poor bubba boy. They actually gave me one of those hydralyte iceblocks thbigs Dan and he ate 2!!! First thing he has had in days. ANyway, they were worried cause he was so dehydrated and not passing much urine, and actually started doing my admission to stay with him. BUT then cause he ate the 2 iceblocks and seemed a bit happier, they let him come home and has to go back for a check to the hospy in the morning!!!! yay, was so worried cause they were talking about putting dowm a naso gastric tube to get fluids into him. So, thank goodness he has gotten out of that for now! I got a box of the iceblocks, and he has anotehr one since being home, so fingers crossed he keeps it all down overnight!! Plkease excuse my typing is hard with 1 hand!!!

Anyway, I bettr get organised, have to drop Shay at school then go straight to the hosp so have to have all my stuff ready to go!! Oh, they weighed him and my poor bubba is only 8.7kg. He has lost so much wt, he looks so skinny. He was 8.4 kg at 6mths I think. Nighty night!

What an ordeal Shell, poor Angus and poor you!
Yay for those ice blocks though and hopefully this is the start of everybody in your family getting better.............take care and get lots of rest hun.

Hope all the other sick bubbas are feeling better soon

Busy at work today and can't wait until the day is over.......quick question, is everybody who is ff switching to cow's milk? Elena is down to two bottles a day now and she eats really well so I'm thinking of introducing it.

Shell - you poor thing hun, and poor little Angus, I hope he is feeling better soon and the gastro pops do their trick ... I can't believe how much weight he has lost, you must be beside yourself. Hope your hand isn't hurting too much babe. I had a wire/pin (k wire) put in mine but it was the bone on the side of my hand near my pinky to my wrist and it was a twisted fracture so I guess the pin stabilised it while it healed. Nice. It still hurts now at times when I get cold.

Sarah - so good to hear from you hun -off to check pics!

Hi everyone! Izzy still has a bit of runny poop and if it keeps up til Friday I have to take her back to the Dr. She was also up from 2:30 til 5 last night Not too sick, just wide awake - tried to bring her in with me but she just kept playing with my hair and the bedhead and generally driving me nuts and I knew she wasn't sick and awake - just awake so I put her back to bed and spent 2 hours going in and out! Ugh - she finally went back to sleep until 730 and is currently napping so fingers crossed she is on the improve.

Im FINALLY getting some little flutters - cheeky man is as bad as Izzy, I didn't get anything until 21 weeks with her too!
Right Im off to look at some stuff a girl at MG wants to sell on ebay but is giving me first dibs - lots of tiny boys stuff! WHoo hoo! Have a great day ladies!

Hello!

I'm sorry its been so long between posts, I do try and pop in from every now and again but by the time I read through all the posts, I just don't have time to actually do one myself!! I'm going to try a little bit harder though coz I think about all of you regularly - especially over the last month or so, just thinking about this time last year!!! Its quite amazing. So.....

Happy Birthday to all our bubs that have turned 1 and in case I don't get time to post again soon, Happy Birthday to those that are coming up soon!!!

Lulu - You are such an inspiration!!! Congratulations on the birth of Elena!! It sounds like all is going well so far. I can't imagine!! Keep up the great work!!

Well all is going well with us. Luke had his birthday last week and we had a lovely party on Sunday. He got spoilt rotten and certainly slept well that night!!! I took him for his immunisations today too. He was extremely brave, only cried for a few seconds. I'm praying we don't get a reaction but we'll wait and see.

Sounds like the gastro bug has been going around - Luke's had the runs for the last couple of days, its absolutely disgusting and keeps bursting out of his nappy. I'm so sick of getting poo everywhere!!!! At least he's not vomitting aswell, so I should consider myself lucky. He seems happy though, so who knows whats going on. He's been sleeping soooo well too, although morning seems to be getting earlier and earlier. It ranges between 5am and 6am. He always wakes around 4am and goes back to sleep and if I'm really lucky he'll stay asleep until 6.30am. Its just too early but it could be worse.

Anyway must go. Take care everyone - I miss you all!!

Hi everyone!!
Kelly - good to hear from you, glad Luke had a great birthday
Tan - gotta love looking at baby clothes again!! Boys clothes are cute!!
Hi Sarah!! Photos look great, glad you are enjoying yourself
Sangie - we switched Ethyn to full time cows milk as of yesterday, we did the whole weaning of formula, had a big day yesterday, first day of cows milk, and I decided that I wasn't going to steralise his bottles anymore. Ethyn didn't have his lunch bottle today, and hubby said he wasn't interested as he was too busy sleeping today!!!
Shelle - That would have been scary, glad it all worked out in the end, you can never be too careful, they dehydrate so quickly don't they.
Lulu - how's things going hun? How is being a mother of 2 is treating you.
A big HI to everyone I have missed!!
Ethyn is going back to child care tomorrow, I had to go to work today to do pays, so hubby had today off with him. He had 2 solid poos so its all good to go back. I spoke to childcare today, they had to send 2 kids home this morning as they had the runs again, what annoys me most is that these parents send their kids to childcare, probably knowing that their kid is sick, but think that child care can look after them, therefore all the other kids get sick!!
Still trying to sort out the food for Ethyn's birthday, just want to do things like little pies and pasties and the like and just some small desserts.
Have a great night everyone xoxo
