Sorry but cant do personals today, have a migraine.. Hit me after I went to the pead, which I had found out yesterday was actually today not Friday.
Anyway here's V's measurements.
Weight Birth - 2.38kg Now - 4.3kg
HC Birth - 34cm Now 39.5cm
Birth Length - 47cm Now 56.5cm
As you all may remember she has a little lump on the back of her head too the left, well at first the Dr wasnt quite sure what it was but has now told me that it is definately a Dermatoid Cyst and needs to be removed. He doesnt want to do it just yet, want her to grow a bit more but wants to see her again in 3mths time and will then book the surgery to have it removed. Thankfully he told me it is only day surgery so she wont be staying in hospital just for the day. I am really not looking forward to that day, let me tell you. Maybe thats why I ended up with a Migraine as soon as I stepped into the car when I left.
csab - sorry to hear about the migraine and v's impending surgery.
It's 1am and I CAN NOT SLEEP This has been happening for the past few days and its getting worse and worse. I don't know why! It's driving me crazy. Like i don't have enough on without having to contend with being exhuasted each day. Grrrrrrrrrrr!!!
So let me tell you about my day. We had MG and the 'hosting' mum has a pool so Liam had his very 1st swim. He loved it. Then I dropped into my nannas on the way home and she was really glad to see Liam since she hasn't in a little while. Did the last of my shopping and picked up Vogue and loved flicking through it while feeding. Finally got around to sending off the invites for my sister's baby shower and wrote up my resignation letter for work. And then did a rough draft of the 'Nanna's Brag Book' photobook I'm making for my mum's birthday. All in all a busy but great day.
Now, will someone tell me why I'm so wired even though I'm EXHAUSTED!!!! Sorry for the vent, just got to do something to get me to the point of sleeping............
Casb.. speaking of cyst... Jorda has a fatty cyst on her back at the top, I have had it checked and they think it might go away as she grows. it moves around a little and its kinda mushy... mmm is this kida like what your baby has?
Ok so I GAVE IN!!!!!! jorda is officallly on solids.. well rice cereal SHE LOVES IT.. can get enough of it.. I brought i back from canada as i hate FAREX here.. so yuck just like glue.. So she is on some fantastic organic rice ceral, she is eating 3 tablespoons a day!
I think she is at least 7-8 Kg.. she is in huggies infant 4-8kg and they are a little snug.. anyone else find this.. and they leak all the time.. I cant stand huggies.. I wish i brough more Pampers nappies back from canada!
didi - Mias lucky if shes 6.7 ish kilos atm and we went into crawlers months ago. The infant one leaked everywhere. so i would say to start getting the next size up as its 6-11 kilos i think. Mia still isnt on solids but i have stuff here for when she is. I got some of the organic rice cereal too as i think farex is crap and looks like clag. Shes not that far off 6 months! mad.. how quick the time has gone.
1stbub - that sucks about the not sleeping. What is your diet like? I found i had the same thing until i cut down the amount of coke i was drinking. Poor eating can affect your sleep greatly. If it goes on, head in and see your doc.
CSAB - wow O is growing nicley, she is doing very well n u are doing a fantastic job! When do they think they will be able to operate? i hope shes ok. Remember we are here for u and little O xoxox
Leigh - yep doc has put me on Reductil. Its sort of the same as Duromine without the stuff that makes u unable to sleep, well theres not as much of it. It costs me $100.75 per month. Very $$$ but it would be the same if i was only jennycraig or something. fingers crossed i can get this weight off.
All good here. Mia has a little cold. Coughing and sneezing the poor little darl. Freezing here today... hopeit doesnt rain. i have a line full of washing.
Thanks very much Hollye, I hope Mia gets over her cold quickly hun, poor little one. V still has a slight cough that doesnt seem to want to go, and her nose still abit congested.
Didi - The cyst that V has, as the Dr put it, and what I can tell too, is it is mobile so not stuck to the skull, and soft not overly hard. He said that they like to remove them before they get too old so as young as possible as the skull shapes itself around it like a bit of a dent and as the cyst gets bigger so does the dent, so they prefer the cyst to be small so the dent in the skull wont be to noticable. If that makes sense. V has had it since she was born so we have just been monitoring it but it will only get bigger. He said it is from all the waste, like fat etc. He also said that it will not go away on its own, that it has to be removed surgically. Maybe it would be a good idea to have another opinion on the one that Jorda has. hugs
1st - Thankyou too, I think the migraine hit me out of stress, but feel somewhat better today. As for HM I am not sure where she is. You have had a busy day, maybe hun you are just overtired, give yourself some time to wind down. hugs
Hollye - Reductil is good, I was on it before I had kids and lost 17 kgs in 3 months. I loved it & didnt miss the junk food while I was on it. I think I might go back on it too. Have you felt that you find yourself not hungry? I had a bit of trouble sleeping on it at first but think once my body was used to it I was right. Are you taking it first thing in the morning?
Didi - Glad Jorda is enjoying her solids. I havent started Lara yet but can't wait to see how she enjoys them. I am not looking forward to the stained clothes though. Im not sure how heavy Lara is (getting her weighed next fri when she has her needles) but she is still in infant size huggies. They haven't leaked yet, I have boxes of crawler here ready for when she grows out of the infant.
csab - Glad you're feeling a bit better today. Poor V, hope her cold goes away soon & good luck for her op.
1stBub - Hopefully you'll get a good night sleep tonight. I hate nights when I can't sleep. I am a very light sleeper at the best of times so when I dont get much sleep I feel even worse during the day.
Leigh - yeh i take it in the morning. I still am getting hungry but i have only been on it for 2 days so it may take a while to kick in?? yeh my interest in junk food is less.. just dont feel like it. did u do strict diet and exercise while on it?
This has been happening for the past few days and its getting worse and worse. I don't know why! It's driving me crazy. Like i don't have enough on without having to contend with being exhuasted each day. Grrrrrrrrrrr!!!
