Tanya~ Bethany's UTI is on the mend although we will need to follow up and check that there isn't anything wrong that we can't see. We are at a bit of a crisis point here....She has spent weeks screaming and not feeding (hence not being around much) no one can decided if it is reflux or behavioural. Bethany will be one of the cases discussed this morning at a big peds case conferance and hopefully all those minds together can come up with something. FAST!! Yesterday was by far the worse. I just want her to be able to eat and feel better. She went all day yesterday with out a sleep so she was a nightmare to settle last night. I wish there were easy answers with these little people. Anyway the last 2 days has seen me do assesments and interviews with people who will present the case to the peds, hard to do when your child is screaming and you are half asleep. But we got there. Although she has lost a bit more weight and I will have to go out today and get her more winter stuff. The pants she has are too small and I can't even pin them they need to come in that much!! Had she not gone on a hunger strike all would be well! Anyway hopefully the brains of peds will come up with something, I have a feeling the something will be reflux meds but to be honest at this point bring it on.
I am going to have a cup of tea and enjoy the silence.
amy - I also have a UTI. I've been feeling terrible over the last couple of days and finally saw a doctor today. Hopefully it'll clear up soon. So I can imagine how poor Bethany must be feeling. What did the paeds come up with for Bethany? I hope things improve soon!
fluff - That's great on the "dada" Maya did it over and over again for days and now has stopped.
Well I had an annoying day yesterday. Most of you know this already, but just want to vent once more. Went to an ABA meeting for the first time. I was having a cup of tea and another woman (who has a toddler) insisted on holding Maya. She knelt down on the floor and was cuddling Maya. Then had Maya on her knee and wasn't supporting her well, but I stupidly didn't say anything cos I assumed she was ready to catch her. Then she saw that Maya can stand (with support!!!!) and so she let Maya stand and then let go! So Maya fell forwards and planted her face into the floor! OMG I was so upset and so ****ed off. The woman just said "oh I thought she could stand" and "I forgot that you have to support them". The woman is heavily pregnant, but I don't think there's any excuse for it at all! It makes me feel like I don't want to let anyone hold Maya (other than people I know and trust of course). Then I was worried that Maya was injured and wasn't sure if I should be taking her to see someone. But she calmed as soon as I held her so I thought surely if she was badly injured she would keep crying. Anyway, not a nice experience for me or Maya!
Tanya - oh that's lousy, hope the UTI gets better soon! I can't believe that woman did that with Maya, that's awful!
Amy_o - it sounds like you've been having such a rough time!!! I hope the paeds come up with something useful and that things improve!
fluff - omg that's so cute saying dada! And yes X has seemed interested in latching on in the bath also, but has no idea what to do then! Plus I'm an eensy bit scared of those big chompers!!
Well we also had a falling drama this week. MIL was looking after him yesterday, parked him at the front door in the stroller then decided she could just get the mail (without putting the brakes on of course....)... sure you can guess what happened - yup stroller rolled and toppled. X banged his head on the side of the stroller, and apparently screamed and screamed (poor little fella had been fast asleep too). MIL was suitably horrified, and once FIL had helped establish that he was ok, FIL was really mad at MIL! He had a pretty good egg there yesterday but after a bottle and a long sleep seemed quite his usual self ever since, and I can barely see the bruise today thank goodness.
belfie - How terrible. It sounds like it's the week for people being careless and for babies to bump their heads! I'm glad to hear X is ok!
Maya has started picking up bits of EVERYTHING and putting them in her mouth! Yesterday I tried to get a big bit of fluff back out of her mouth but accidentally pushed it further back instead, so she ended up swallowing it. Are other people's bubba's doing this too? I find even if I watch her like a hawk she'll quickly pick something up and put it in her mouth before I can blink! I guess it won't harm her but I hate seeing her eating bits of fluff, hair, anything off the floor! And I'm surprised by the fact that she can grasp very very tiny specks off the ground. Maybe I just have to vacuum more often.
Hi everyone - vewy busy at the moment with a baby who thinks day sleeps are for the weak ... he is now catnapping 15 - 20 mins so things get tense in the late afternoons hehehehehe.
I have decided this weekend we are going to try and give Zander a bottle in the afternoons - I am just not happy b/f and not being able to get out (cos I suck at expressing ) and 8 months is pretty damn good in my book - ok so I am still trying to justify it a little bit LOL ......
Booked tickets to Burn the Floor this morning and am really excited about that.
Just soccer and ANOTHER 4 yo birthday party on Sunday - so I am dumping my DD and then getting my eyebrows waxed hehehehe - family friend so she will be fine.
Just had soup at Giselles preschool for Biggest morning Tea - they get so excited when you come to the events .... even Zander ate some of the pumpkn soup!
Zander has been pulling his ear, runnyish nose and having poo that resembles a cattleyard, so dont know if a cold or teeth. Cant see anything happening so maybe a cold. So mebbe I should hold off on the bottle hmmm
Now, formulas - S26 is beef based and Karicare is vegetable based so I am going to go for Karicare - but does anyone know if you can buy the stick packets in Karicare cos I dont wanna buy a whole tin when I only need a couple of scoops a day ....
Be back later - should eat lunch whilst I have this short break of 20 mins lol. Well, it has already been 15 so 5 left - you lucky things got my time tehehehe.
Sami...Karicare don't have the small sachets..but if you ring them..or email them they can foward some samples to your local chemist.
Jack is on karicare goats milk...we haven't looked back since being on it.
Just a quick one, Julian now has 5 teeth and is nearly crawling his up on his knees all the time now. I've got bad tonsilitis and we're moving house this weekend so will have no net until next Friday hopfully. Cody is going to be 3 on Tuesday. Ok better be off and do some cleaning.
I've been feeling terrible over the last couple of days and finally saw a doctor today. Hopefully it'll clear up soon. So I can imagine how poor Bethany must be feeling. What did the paeds come up with for Bethany? I hope things improve soon!
