Hollye - white is good - it wont get as hot inside!!!
Hope u get some answers at the PEAD tomorrow - give Mia a big hug from me!!!
Tan - i can just imagine DH's reply to u saying ur putting the house on the market when he gets back how is he going in Canada? when is he due back?
1stBub27 - i would freak also if i had a c-section scar that did that - thank god i didnt have a c-section, i didnt cope well with my little scars from having my gall bladder removed while preg - let alone a big scar! hehehe im a woss!!! - is it sore at all?
1stbub-I would be really worried and I would be going to the dr's to get it checked. I was the same as Tan, just a thin red line and have had no problems with it. Worth getting it checked just in case.
Sorry for the lack of personals I really need to wash some dishes!! Be back later!
Istbub27 - I use Seventh Generation bio nappies when I use disposables, they aren't the cheapest but are way better for the environment so I feel better about it and are really absorbent.
Tan - Welcome back! Re the pumping unfortunatly I pretty much have to express full time as Olive has a really high palette and short fenulum so damages my nipples every feed. Hopefully eventually she will grow out of this as she gets bigger but no matter how much I attach and reattach it doesn't make a whole lot of difference.
Hollye - Good luck tomorrow, hopefully you get some answers and a plan of action.
Olive seems to be doing much better. She is drinking pretty well again and is really good at taking her anti-biotics which I thought she would probably spit out. She will have the ultrasound wednesday so hopefully nothing to major comes of that.
Went shopping today with mum and Olive and tried on another hundred dresses for my sisters wedding. Finally found the one, yah. It's long black lace with a caul neck and a slip with a matching belt and will look nice with some black heels and the right jewellery.
I got my mum a big bunch of flowers today to say thanks for everything as she has been soooooooo wonderful and we ahve always been close but I appreciate her so much more now that i'm a mum too. She was also a godsend when I was in labour and helped give DH a break over that gruelling 50hrs of hell. She visited most days but was never over bearing, cleaned the house while I was in hospital, the list goes on and on. Does anyone else have a new appreciation for their mums or feel closer to them?
olivesmummy - what is your name? its easier to type ppls names i reckon. Yes i do feel more appreciative of my mum now that im a mum. It shows you just how much hard work they did do bringing us up and has made me look at my mum in a whole different light. I gave her a card from Mia saying "thanks for being such a great help for my mummy when i was growing in her tummy and wen i was in hospital, i love you nanny" and a big box of chocolates.. she loved it. re c/s scar.. mine i dont even notice but when i have an itch around it its still numb.. that feels odd. No opening here tho.. very thin line like the rest.
Mia's in bed.. im just chillin.... pead tomorrow! yay!! i just want some answers.. lets hope hes not a basket case and tells me not to worry.. its normal blah blah blah! coz ill be going to a different one, i KNOW somethings not right! got Mia some more singlets today (thats all she wears these days with a skirt or shorts) and it cost me $75! i wasnt expecting that! lol oh well..... she doesnt really like dresses, they seem to frustrate her a little.
OH Mia is holding her own bottle!!!!! only for a minute or so at a time but still!! wow!! shes growing up wayyyyy to quickly now. Soon we will be talking about solids.. that makes me a little sad...
hj - I saw a peadiatric speech pathologist and she said that hopefully as Olive gets bigger and her mouth grows she will be able to breastfeed without damaging my nipples but wouldn't operate or anything. Apparently sometimes they put a prosthetic palette in as well but Olive's wasn't bad enough for that. So that is why I express but I still pray that one day I can BF full time. I BF about one feed a day and some comfort feeding as well if the nipples aren't to bad. I can't wait to one day have normal nipples again! I would have given up a million times if it wasn't for all the brilliant people supporting me and my sheer subborness. Next time round you'll know alot more so don't be to hard on yourself.
Hollye - I don't mean any offence but I don't like to put personal details on the net which is why my name or town aren't on here. If Olive'smummy gets a bit annoying to type just call me OM. Like I said nothing personal it's just how I feel about it.
What time is the big appointment?
Hollye - a fenulum is the piece of skin connecting the gum to the lip. If it's short it makes breastfeeding very difficult cause in my case Olive can't flange out her top lip when feeding.
Oh! I thought i'd posted last night! Must have dreamt it. No, new computer is playing up a little. Grrrr for computers!
Anyway, last night Liam slept in his cot for the 1st time. No troubles at all. I think he's happy to sleep anywhere really, and we've never co-slept - I'd be scared of smothering him!
Feeding is moving along ok. Had 2 feeds without bottle yesterday and 1 so far today - in fact only gave him a bottle so he'd be happy without a feed thru MG this morning. They covered baby massage today. I don't think Liam's too fussed by it. He just wanted to laugh and play - cheeky little monkey!
And ive got an appointment for the Dr on Friday to see about my c/s wound. Not sure if he'll be very helpfull. Am lacking a lot of confidence in my dr.
Hollye - good to hear you've got an answer. Hope the meds help.
That's all for the personals as I'm just dashing thru here for now, while my computer catches up to what im trying to do.
Hi everyone,
looks like everything is fine with Olive, the Doctor still needs to look at her scan but the sonographer thought it was ok, thank goodnass for that!!! She was so well behaved as well.
I've got ABA meeting tomorrow so it will be good to catch up with the ladies there. We are discussing expressing and storing BM which I know lots about. The ABA have been such a huge support to me and it's good because we don't have a mothers group in our town cause of funding.
Olivesmummy - B has a short fenulum aswell - hence why i had massive trouble breastfeeding! - but no one picked it up until after i had given up BFing!!! i was sooo upset about not being able to BF aswell - it was like my world had ended - i still get upset by it! what are u doing about Olive's short fenulum?
Hollye - goodluck at the PEAD today hope u get some answers!
how is he going in Canada? when is he due back?
Be back later!
