Just wondering how long you guys wait to take your babes to the dr when they have a cold. As far as I can tell, so far (when I have tested) Eithan hasnt had a temp, he has only pulled his ears a couple of times that I have seen, however his nose is running heaps he is crabby(normal for a bubba though LOL), sneezing and coughing all morning before I got him out of his cot. A little bit less wet nappies, despite feeding him heaps, he wont take water, and normal poo. I just dont quite know what to do. Normally I am fine, Bella has a cold, but I wont be taking her until she develops a temp. However with Etihan........I dont know. Please help me!
Umm I cant wait anymore other wise I wont get an appointment today, so I am just about to ring the dr now. Thanks though guys, I just didnt really give you guys any time to reply.
Love Helen

Best to take bub to the Gp. At least he/she can take a look, and it will put your mind at ease.
I am off to Gp this morning for I review. I hope to get off my anti depressant meds, so fingers crossed that he thinks I am doing ok.
helen - if it's just a cold, I normally just give Nina dimetapp, but if she's pulling at her ears, even a little bit, and has a temp, then I take her to the dr.
ambz - I hope it's sticky. You'll be due the same time as Maz & Anna
Well Nina's 4 top teeth are just starting to cut through the skin. We had an awful night 2 nights ago where she'd only sleep in my arms, but last night was much better. She's been very clingy with me lately, but I suppose that's to be expected. She's crawling around everywhere saying bubba and lala (dunno where she got that one from).
She's trying to attack the computer, so I'll be back when she's asleep
ETA: good luck at the dr's meg

Maz.. best of luck with the scan hun.. looking forward to hearing glowing results.
Ness.. hope the doc can sort it out.. dont forget to ask him/her about that other thing..
Anna**.. yay for the motorbike!
Helen.. i guess if it was Jess i would take him after a couple of days of it not getting any better. Even if the doc says theres nothing you can do but wait for it to go, least you know.
congratulations ambz!
glad to hear your dad is getting better maz, and that your mum DOESN'T have shingles
sam home today (thanks for the reminder anna**!) so am looking forward to some support... have just found this two weeks really tough, I guess the stay in hospital did not help
i'm working tomorrow and thursday... sam is being daddy for two full days, so that will let him know how it is! luckily she is always good during the day, and i did have some success with sleeping last night, lets hope it only gets better!
Congratulations Ambz!! Thats wondeful.I cant beleive how many are pregnant again at the same time!
Jodi,how are you feeling.Its such a bummer.Ruby is cutting 2 top teeth at the same time and also both my girls have mild gastro.So alot of fun here.
I was in bed last night at 630pm as i was so tired.I totally flipped the lid at hubby so best thought id better leave his prescence.They just dont understand the extreme exhaustion you can get.I was just so lethargic but still managed a corned silverside and all the trims plus washing a ton of spewy/****ty laundry.
Maz,cant wait to hear about the scan.So exciting!
Thanks Nessa
Back from the Docs now. He says I have to stay on the meds, but wants to review again in 2 months so hopefully I can come off after that.
Wishing all the girls easy pregnancies!!!
James fell asleep in the stroller on the way home. It is blowing a gale here. Good washing weather!!!
Yay congrats Ambz I certainly hope your pregnancy treats you better than mine is.
God girls I feel so awful, like take me to hospital awful. Jett is being a good boy just playing on the floor with his toys most days but Im just so knackered and feel so sick. Im drinking tons of water and trying to eat anything, even if its just toast. I managed spaghetti for dinner last night after a 2 hour nap when Ry got home (I cracked it too Cads and just went and lay down, he had no choice but to take care of Jett). I felt so much better afterwards but again today I feel a bit crook still. I cut down the Maxolon as I think it was making me feel worse and I cant drive if I take the full dose. My sister has said that if she fails her Uni assignments then she wont have to do her exam and so she'll come down and give me a break for a week or two before the inlaws come. Is it bad for me to wish she bombs her assignments
Jett is sleeping better during the night which is a good thing. He slept 8:15pm-12:30am, then from 12:35am-7:15, then til 9:15. His top teeth are *still* cutting through, theyre about 1/4 way down now, I wish they would hurry up, it always seems to take forever. He's also started yelling "Helllooooooooooooooooo" randomly at things/people lol Its cute.
Anyway just wanted to pop in and say Hi, I wish I could do personals but Id have to scroll back and I need to go veg on the couch. Hope your all having a great day!
I'm off to mums group shortly, just hoping the rain doesn't pour down til I get there cause gotta walk, just around the corner but still its like a gale out there at the moment.
Caddie- IKWYM, id Df has a hard day at his "paid job" then he thinks it gives him way to just sit and do nothing all evening but rest on the couch but if I have a hard day at my "unpaid job" it doesn't matter, i still have to keep going all evening plus get up overnight.
AnnaT- I hope that m/s passes soon, you sure theres only one bub in there? lol.
Meg- Hopefully next time you'll get to come off the meds, you must be feeling alot better yourself if you feel you are about ready to stop taking them.
HelenP- How is Eithan? You been to Drs?
Okay better finish getting ready to go out, should get the storm cover ready just in case.....
Meg - sorry to hear you have to stay on the meds. I have post natal depression/anxiety too. What meds are you taking? always here if you want to talk. I dont usually post much though when i am having bad days.
MAZ - Congrats on the scan babes!
Helen - im ok honey had some bad days comign out of them at the moment. Hows Eithan today?
Girls I had my review at my GP yesterday too and it was good, they did a test to see how my depression is going and when I first had to take meds I was 24 points and now im down to 17.. still anxious though.. cant drive at the moment.
Hello to everyone will try and come back later for personals Julia finally asleep so im going to get some too.
Good to see progress for you Belle! Your doing great!
Shell, at this stage we're saying one but you never know, one might pop up at my 12wk scan. Even the OBGYN said at this stage its probably only 1 but you can never be sure until a later scan is done. I dont know what to think - honestly Im hoping its only one, because Im so tired now I could not imagine having two newborns and a 16mth old I think its just super snuggled in there and wants me to feel the er.........joy......... that it has for being there
MAZ - was your scan today or tomorrow? My time is messed up on BB so I never know what day it is. Im sending you good luck vibes!!
OMG its so windy here today. Im also feeling minimal morning sickness right not which I am so surprised at! I feel halfway normal this arvo and managed to choke down a small bowl of leftover spag bol. Hopefully its starting to ebb away already, would be lovely if I could go back to feeling better. Jett is crawling around with his toys being his usual ninja self. Its Ry's 25th birthday on thursday, he requested that I not plan a party/dinner/cake for him and I feel awful about it. He hates birthdays for some reason. I am going to buy him a card and something nice on thursday while Im out shopping, and bake him brownies for dessert after we go out to dinner (I figure its just us right so doesnt count as a party ).
just got back from the doctors with hubby and savanna.
and it is 100% confirmed that I am pregnant
i also had my blood tests done so in a couple days ill be able to know exactly how far along I am. its actually really sinking in a little and im getting more excited.
The nurse that did my blood tests has two children under 12 months!!!! my goodness!!!
hubby is sooo excited!!! yes maz his dream has come true!! hehe
maz- hope your scan went well and all is fantastic for you. sending you many positive and warm vibes xoxox
to all those that are ttc i sincerely hope you all get your wishes very soon
and to all those that are pregnant i hope you have fantastic pregnancies and healthy bouncing babies xoxoxox
wow its sooo windy here!! what a melbourne day!! sun rain wind what more can we ask for?? haha
well i guess we are going to have to cancel our trip overseas now. my cousin is going to be so dissapointed cause its her wedding we were to be attending. i cant get the vaccinations for overseas travellers and i dont wanna be going into labour anywhere but melbourne!! oh wells its all good... now to tell my mum...... arghhh shes gonna be even more dissapointed cause we were all supposed to be going together.
wOO hOO Ambz - well done honey!!!!!!!
Had my scan today and im due on the 20th of Jan. The u/s guy was fantastic and said that I would get a better date at my 12 week scan. HB was fabo he said (I asked not to listen to it) and Mr Squiggle is burried in really deep, so deep he had to go looking for bub.
Had amassive fight with my mum on the phone cause i asked if she could come with me today and help me (I barely ever ask for help) she said that she had to wash her dog and stay with my sister. I said tahnks for nothing and she said I shouldnt be so jealous. I told her to get fooyed and hung up. I havent called her and im not going to. Saw my dad and told him the u/s result and he was so happy. Stupid mothers!!!!!!!
BBL - have to make some phone calls
Hi Belle,
I am on Zoloft. I have good and bad days, but seem to be more good than bad lately. Mine is mainly anxiety rather than depression. Dont you think that it is funny when people say you should "just snap out of it." I dont think many people understand that depression and anxiety is an illness. That is why I am more than happy to share my story with anyone who wants to know. There is no shame in having a mental illness. It is just like any other illness.
But I am well (except my mind isn't all the time), and healthy and so is James. What more can I ask for.
