Quick update,
Bethany much worse today. She seems to have crashed over night. Very listlist and a bad cough as well as a temp of around 39. We are heading to the dr soon. Send healing thoughts our way??
Amy - Sending healing thoughts your way. I know how worried you are, V had her temps last night reach 39.55. She seems ok atm tho. Hope little Bethany gets better quickly. HUgs
aaww I'm sending big healing vibes to both Bethany & V - hope their temps go down soon!! :grouphug:
ohh.. Bethany and V get better soon!! Sending lots of well vibes. :hug:
csab - Yeah the way you describe your previous creamy BM I think mine is quite watery. I have read that c/s can really effect your milk and it sounds like it does. :(
belfie - Yeah I think the c/s caused my b/f problems. I bounce up and down about the whole b/f thing. I do think M is OK. I am just sick of people telling me she's not and that I need to fatten her up. Then I start to doubt myself. I think she isn't getting as much fat from the BM as other babies do, but she's still getting BM and I think that's better for her. She's about average length and has an average sized head. She's just very slim and light.
Sami - Sounds like Z is doing well at child care. :) I reckon it's fine to give him what he will eat for now. That's what I did with M. She would only eat potato for the first while and that's all I fed her until she would eat other things.
I held a 3 week old yesterday at an ABA meeting. She was so so tiny! It was a twin and the mother has a 2 year old already. I don't know how on earth that mother made it out of the house and to an ABA meeting with two 3 week olds and a 2 year old?!
Very cute how Bethany and V have gone out in sympathy together!! :)
Bethany still not good. Definately flu of some sort. There are dozens here at the mom. Watching her closely this afternoon but the GP said if she hasn't improved by tonight she needs to go to the hospital for fluids etc.
M is also sick now. Thankfully I think it's just a cold. But she was up from 10.30pm till 1am last night crying. :( Then she woke again at 2am. First I tried a feed, which seemed to settle her for a while. Then gave her panadol and eventually had to give her a dummy, which thankfully worked! But I am sooooooooooooooo tired today.
I had a great day yesterday (till night time) with belfie, X and tanstar. :) X is such a cutie belfie. :) Though I kept M up WAY too long (5 hours oppsss). Normally she can only do about 2 hours up. So the long hours up probably didn't help her either. :wall: I was just having too good a time chatting though, to just whip her off home to bed. ;)
I hope Bethany and V are doing better today. I'll be spending the day at home to give M lots of rest.
:hi:
Gosh where to start ....
Amy, Csab, Tanya - hope all of your little ones get over whatever they have very quickly - try to look after yourselves too, I understand how quickly us mums can get rundown worrying about and looking after the kids - otherwise you will be the next ones trying to recover too!!
Tanya - Z isn't throwing any tantrums yet - but I also think that is his nature - and he is not fully crawling yet either - he is a bugger, everytime I put him on his tummy, he gets up on his knees and just sits back up again!!! Talk about learning things in reverse!! HOwever he can stand against the couch now by himself for a while, so mebbe he will just go straight to walking in a few months time and not crawl at all!
And re the BM and FF - the thing that stopped me from going onto the bottle when Z didn't seem to be taking much a few months ago - what if you swapped and she still only took 60 or 80mls - how would you feel then??? That is what Giselle did to me so I think I am better of not knowing how much Z takes :rolleyes:
Csab - gee V must be a teensy little thing - must be hard not to worry all the time with having been so sick. It is also hard to keep the other kids germy fingers away from them too isn't it :(
Amy - that is heartbreaking news about Bethany - and all the decisions that go along with the journey. Trust your instincts and the professionals if you can and be guided by that - can you see if you can find other parents who have faced this with their babies to talk to somehow?? Might help some of the anxiety about the process.
belfie - yeah, hurry up with some baby news will ya, otherwise I'll have to jump in for another turn - JOKING!!! :ROFL: Sounds like you are going great guns with your healthy lifestyle - ugh - so jealous. I am hoping once I get back to work I will start eating better again.
I am impressed today - i hardly ever express as you gals know, but knew I would have to today as Z in care from 9.30 - 3.30pm :( - so I did at 12.30 (he fed at 7am) and I got 120mls in about 15 mins so I am very excited by that - means I can do it at work for the 2 days and my supply wont be affected too much. I will now send that BM along to daycare on Monday for his first proper day to see if he drinks it :fingerscrossed:
Been shopping this morning - I love shoes ... bought some more :redface:, and a new suit. Getting my hair done on Monday, and nails on Tuesday - shame i cant make an appointment to drop 10kgs as well :rofl: There is some beautiful scarves around at the moment too --- better hide my credit card.
ANyway better unpack bags before hubby gets home :lol:
Hi to Amanda, and who else drops in, i cant remember - FLuff, kuraiza anymore??,
Well I finally sucumbed. Bethany is better but I can barely move out of bed.... :(
Thank goodness DH is better and can do baby duty while I lie in bed dying....back when I recover...
Hey everyone, I've had a crappy couple of weeks with the kids getting virus' and so on, but everyone is on the mend now. Julian still only has 6 teeth, but is crawling and starting to walk around furniture a bit, so sad my little boy is getting bigger. We went to Seaworld yesterday was a great day but felt exhausted afterwards.
It's very quite in here, sorry no personals but will try and catch up.
Hey girls... Just thought I'd drop a quick line to say G'day! Been busy with work so no time for BB or FB
BJ is going great guns. Crawling & pulling up on furniture etc. Though he has many many stacks & bumps to the head. We are having a little issue atm, he wakes around 4 or 5am & stands in his cot crying. I go and put him back under his sheet, but he gets out again & stands up. Then we just leave him & he takes around an hour to get back to sleep :wall: It's very annoying. I'm hoping it's just a phase as he's just discovered standing in his cot.
He also has started trying to repeat what we say. We say I love you, and he mumbles it back. Very cute.
I'm organising his first birthday party for the 29th and looking very forward to it. We're having a monkey theme. I've found a monkey cake recipie on the internet & am going to attempt to try it.. EEEK!
I'm still going to weight watchers & have been sticking with it religously. I joined the local gym too so have been running EVERY morning.
Sorry for no personals. I have read all your posts.... MWAH!
A selfish post. Maya seemed to be getting better. Now she seems worse again. I dunno if it's just a cold or cold + teething. She's been waking and crying a lot more in the night suddenly. And she's been having heaps of tantrums. She seems to be tired all the time and sometimes will sleep and sleep and other times just won't sleep. She has a runny nose and cough.
On top of that. My DH took holidays this week and we were going to go away tomorrow but.. he suddenly got a massive pain in his stomach. And it got worse and worse and he was all white. Finally convinced him to see a doctor this afternoon and it's kidney stones. :( :( He is so so sick and in so much pain. Having a CT tomorrow morning to see how bad it is.
And I feel so selfish saying this but I just feel so overwhelmed at the moment with crying Maya and DH so sick and so much around the house to do and no help. :(
Oh you poor thing - I hear you on having to do everything - DH away from Monday until tomorrow night this week and I am feeling it too.
Well Z went ok in child care - he had 100mls of expressed BM plus 100mls of formula cup fed which is fine, ate some food and had 2 x 45 hour sleeps each day - so sleep was a bit light - but he was up and happy - I gave him an extra 30 min nap at 5pm each night when I got him home and it got us through.
going to an ABA/MCHN lunch today locally for BF week - get my mind off all the stuff I have to do this week LOL
Gotta go - Z just woke from a nap - of course he could smell when I got on :rolleyes:
OMG I got my new avi!!! LOL - hmmm supposed to be a soccer ball, panda bear and a tiara in the corner - i THINK the panda is wearing the tiara .... oh well, somethng new he :)
Tanya - :comfort: I'm so sorry to hear they're both sick! Hope they're all better soon, and fair enuff feeling overwhelmed, it's really hard work especially with no support around (and I reckon sick men are worth 2 sick babies sometimes lol).
SamiH - :rofl: ahahahahahahha your panda has a tiara! That's hilarious! Otherwise, love the new avvi, very elegant (as it should be!) actually looks like you 2 are in for a romantic evening :lol: bummer re DH being away.
Georgi - gosh you sound like you're doing well! Running every morning wow! I'm back on the WW wagon, and DH has come too! So we're both back losing again, it's great.
Well X has had a cold... after we did the stupidest thing in the world. Friday night was awful! Just wouldn't stay asleep... 10.30pm, midnight, 1am, 2 am, 4am, 5.30am... finally we've tried EVERYTHING we could think of.. wasn't poopy, but decide to change nappy anyways (nearly 6am)... unzip his sleeping bag... he'd managed to get both legs stuck in one leg of his onesie :doh::doh::doh: we felt like such dopes for not having checked earlier (even tho, gotta admit, it's not the first thing that springs to mind..!) but it was a newish onesie and a little bigger :redface:. so I got back to bed at 6.45am and set alarm for 8.30am cos electrician coming! Arrrgh.
Anyways, then Sat he comes down with a cold, and I'm sure that Friday night didn't help. So he's been little unhappy snotface. Sunday night, finally get him settled at about 2am (very snotty, not breathing well)... then huge storm overhead & the dog goes psycho!!! So then X VERY unhappy.
Last night tried him with some steamed carrot for finger food as he's actually managed to eat some banana under his own steam. Got the hugest comedy vomit. First a little vomit... then a bigger projectile vomit. then a BIGGER projectile... halfway through... out the nose! Poor little fella wasn't happy. But apart from stupid things like that, going ok here.
Hope everyone else is going well - it's been quiet.
boooooooooooooo! hehehe *hides*
hey you've got a pretty new avvi too! Noice!
:leap: where u been hiding then?
i do i do!! sexy new avi.. :) *shake that ass* (and a new name ;) )
No where really.. kinda just forgot about this thread.. ooopsy
Another selfish post from me. I just don't have the energy to do personals at the mo. I am running on 3 hours sleep!
Maya kept waking last night, after a very miserable day too. She threw a whopper tantrum out of no where yesterday. Throwing her whole body around the floor. Any time I tried to pick her up she fling herself out of my arms. It freaked me out. Eventually I just gripped her very tight and paced until she calmed. Now in hindsight I think I should have checked her temp. She barely slept yesterday and then woke at 9pm, 10pm, 11pm, 1am and again at 5 am. (I managed to fall asleep around 2ish and was awake with her since 5). I thought she might have had a temp at night but our thermometer is so hard to get a proper reading from. I did give her panadol and I think that helped a bit. Anyway, this morning I finally decided to take her to the doctors cos I realised she's sicker than just a cold. And she has ear infection. :( Poor girl.
DH has been so sick. Shivering, feverish, vomiting, unable to eat, unable to sleep, in lots of pain. This morning I had to take him for a CT scan. Now waiting till Friday to see the doctor again.
:asleep:
