Babies Born September 2006 #59

AnnaT.. i would just go to the Hospital. With so much going around these days, you cant take a chance, and its better to be safe than sorry. If you go in early this morning, also being he is a baby, i think you should get looked at pretty quickly. From the sounds of it, i dont think you should hesitate one bit.. i wouldve been in there last night.

Caddie.. your ticker doesnt have any writing on it?

Nessa.. wanna see piccies of that hair girl!

Maz.. FIL isnt the best. Currently cant walk. Legs have all swollen up, DH told me what from but i cant remember. Yeh i made it for him for his birthday. He loved it. I cant believe your 12 weeks already!!

Anna**.. well done with the weaning, but aww i feel for you. I wish i was able to BF for longer with Jesse.

Last night woke up to Jesse moaning really loudly. Went in and he was soaked in wee! Like completely! So changed him and tried to rug him up in the next grobag down and blankets as the 2.5 tog was soaked too. He then slept until 8.30am poor baby.

Now have to search for another photo site to host Jesse's photos as Photosite is no longer after September.. a HUGE pain in the butt!

Im thinking about writing to That's life or Take 5 and seeing if they will help us get $$ together for airfares so we can have a big meet up..what do you all think?

:dance:top idea maz

anna t jack has been on the soy formula for a week now and we are only just seeing a improvement *sigh*

Kell- Really sorry to hear bout your FIL, must be so hard on you all and esp him to be like that. Big hugs to you all.

Meg- I had to laugh at the comment bout being to GP more since James cause I was saying same thing last week! Ash is always breaking out in different sorts of rashes and I can't put it down to anything consistent. She has one on her face at the moment, usually its her legs.

First nap this morning in days that Ash has actually gone down for without needing like an hour to settle, she has been so whingy and clingy lately, think its a combo of tooth coming and getting to that next wonder week.

$hit Annat - go with your gut matie, thats all I can say cause a mothers intution is always right. I hope yto hell that your alright aswell.
Kell - give your FIL a big hug from us matie and a beer if he's aloud.
Rach - im going to do it..bugger it what have we got to lose? HOpe Jack's getting better
Meg - I love knitted modern stuff aswell..I just dont get time to knit anymore these days..to friggen busy sewing my hiny of PMSL
Anna - I took the phone of the hock cause it wouldnt stop ringing....sorry honey will be home for most of today...will try and call you
Ness - I wanna see a pic of this hair of yours.....I need some inspiration and Ive been thinking of going red again...of to the hairdressers on Saturday for me.
Nelle - im going to sew some prefolds cause I now know how to fold them thanks to you MAUW for that
Hello everyone else - feeling sick cause i just ate some black jelly beans for a sugar fix and YUCK~!!!!!!! And I got a friggen speeding ticket in the mail. I got it the weekend I spewed in COles....not happy JAN $138 later ah and it annoys me more cause im so anal about staying on the speed limit. I was doing 60 in a 50 - thinking it was a 60!!!!! AHHHHH not happy!!!!!! there goes my ebay money!

Ness - Please don't give a dog away on Free Cycle. It is a living creature and you have no way of knowing where he'll wind up - will the new owners house, vaccinate, worm, train, exercise and feed the dog properly? If your DH can't be responsible enough to provide the basic necessities like training and exercising him properly, please, for the dogs' sake, do the right thing and find a good home for him. It wasn't the dogs' choice to have the life he does... he doesn't know any better and he's probably bored from lack of exercise.
Sorry if a bit of a rant... I've done a lot of work with training dogs that people couldn't be bothered training that were dumped so it really hits home with me. It is beyond sad when you see them. I'll PM you a site to go to that encourages responsible re-homing.

Ness, if you freecycled your pup, maybe you could stipulate that you'd like to meet the new owners and kinda interview them? Then people who weren't serious might not bother. That site Anna mentioned sounds great though.

Shell! You didn't go to Max Brenner did you? We did!

Maz, I don't know how I missed your 'That's life' idea, but it sounds great! Worth a shot.

Hope everything's alright Annat.

Well, I'm on a new page for me, so can't remember what you've all said now. Hope everyone's having a brilliant day though!
Oh, phone for me. Later you sexy mummas! xo

Maz.. thanks hun.. oh he loves his beer! He'd give up the chemo for it! lol. He's not an alcho but he just loves to have a beer. When they told him he had to have chemo, ya know what the best thing about it was that he said.. i still get to have my beer! So least he has that to keep him happy. Oh that sux bout the speeding fine. 50 in a 60.. thats pretty crap on them.. though i got one once for 70 in a 60.. bastards.

Shell.. thanks hun. Yeh it is hard.. He has no immunity atm so last week he had the flu really bad, on top of having lungs full of cancer isnt easy.. now this week he cant walk. Its not going too good. Yay for Ash and her nap.

Apparently there is nothing wrong with Jett. I must be imaginging the yukky diapers, projectile vomitting and constant whinging. He hasnt got a high temp, he is convulsing or severely dehydrated or sick looking so he is ok as far as they are concerned. As for the rash well it isnt annoying him so it doesnt mean anything. Yeah right. I cant even get in to see a GP because theyre all on holidays.


I am sick of this place and I am going to move back to Sydney, I dont give a crap what Ry thinks.

:hugs: anna

:hug: AnnaT.. i hope that Jett gets better soon.. Mothers always know best and yuo know when your little man is not well..xoxox



Will BBL.. need to do some stuff B4 hubby gets home!

AnnaT.. oh im sorry youve had such a hard time at the hospital. I hope Jett starts to pick up soon. Yeh come back to Sydney!!

I just made Jesse a new site http://www.totsites.com/tot/jessetyler
Please feel free to have a brouse and make sure you sign the guestbook!!!!! :p

James is sick (again) He has a rash on his tummy and just projectiled all over the carpet, and has had 4 runny nappies. He is also really sleepy! So I think will will go back to the GP. I also feel crappy, so maybe we have the sme thing?

well have had a very productive day a friend cam round and we got stuck into my garden (roses hippiastrums and dietes sp ??) anyway the cladders stomped on the lot so we dug everything up endedup with 50 + hippys have planted 20 bulbs back in and my 2 dietes we divided into 40+ plants :lol: and planted 7 back in looks so much better

hi girls

I havent read everything but wanted to say hello im still alive.

Update from me: saw GP today had a BT to see if im pregnant get the results tomorrow morning. If im not I will be trying a new anti-depressant to get better...got to work out if its just me or my relationship thats crap. I think its bit of both really.

AnnaT - im so sorry to hear about all the trouble with the docs, come back to sydney mate. Hope Jett is ok. Julia was on s26 LF I would try it on Jett its not bad...

Maz - call me in the morning mate or I will call u when I have news.

Caddie - thinking of you hon.. hope u are ok

Anna - boo - left you message today hope you are well.

Meg - big thank you for the info you sent me you are wonderful!
BBL for personals

OK - So James has been vommiting all afternoon, and has not kept a thing down since breakfast. He is refusing all feeds etc.
Rang Nurse oncall, as Tim is up whoop whoop, and they advised that if he gets any worse to go into ER at Sunshine. He has just fallen asleep in our bed, so I am going to have to cover everything in towels just in case.
Meg

Meg.. oh dear poor James. If you feel worried during the night, make sure you just go in anyways, dont wait until sunrise. I hope he's feeling better by morning though.

Rach.. bit of a green thumb hey! Good on you.

Sydney is looking better and better. I told Ry I was considering it tonight and he got real mad. I told him I couldnt do this anymore on my own with no help, Im trying to keep my health intact and I cant do it while Im knackered everyday dealing with a sick baby and my own issues and all the housework/cooking/errands/his crap. He said he'd rather help me out more than have us move. We'll see what happens but if I seriously dont think I'll cope when this baby comes along then Im moving whether he likes it or not. I didnt expect his job to be this time consuming (they make them work weekends and nights when theyre not supposed to so we hardly see him) and I cant expect my poor sister to run down here everytime I need help. I didnt expect J to get sick so often all of a sudden. I didnt expect to have no friends here at all. I didnt expect Ry to work the hours he is.

Im sorry this is so me-me-me. I just feel so overwhelmed with everything thats happened in the last month and so guilty that Im feeling so physically awful and some days wish that I could just sleep all day and have no responsibilities. I worry about Jetts health, I worry about my own, I worry about this baby lasting til 36wks before its born.

Kell, I took a look at Jesse's site, he is just so handsome! We signed the guestbook :)

Hey all,

Sorry for lack of posts but our internet has been down for the last couple of days....

AnnaT - I am so sorry to hear of Jett being sick and also that you are aren't happy either. I really feel for you, I am also in a place where I have no family and friends and my DH travels alot and when he is here he is always working, business dinners, works weekends etc, so I feel that I am doing everything by myself and would move back to Melbourne in a heartbeat. It's not much fun is it, in fact, if I didn't have BB I think I would have gone insane by now....and I can imagine being pregnant is another huge thing for you to worry about, I hope Ry can start helping you out more and support you emotionally and also that is work situation eases and can be at home with you and Jett - lots of hugs to you!!!!

Also, to all the bubs who are sick - what a worry for you Mums, I hope they all get better soon.

Maz - sorry to hear you are feeling crap and also about the speeding ticket, maddening isn't it when you try and abide by the speed limits and you make one tiny mistake...

Hi to everyone else. Well, I have now fully weaned little Rylee, it went well, but I miss it.....

Better go,
Laurin :)

:hugs: meg poor baby

Kelly no green thumb here thats why my friend cam to help I had no idea what to do :lol:

well Jack is back on normaal formula so fingers crossed #2 stay normal

hi girls,
Just popping in to let you all know that Ainsleigh is finally better.... woo hoo!!! When we finally got in to see my gp last week, she said she is definately asthmatic and had an ear infection... I felt so bad as I had been taking her to the doc every week, I kind of started to think i was paranoid as nothing was showing up... when she went off her food i knew she was unwell tho! The doc gave her steroids for her lungs... she said it is not the done thing anymore, but that after six weeks of illness we needed to get her better. The improvement was immediate, and after the full dose, plus some antibiotics for her ears, my princess is healthy again! We are also going to see an allergy pead to make sure there is no underlying allergies. We also started daycare orientation, as I start work in two weeks, and Ainsleigh loves it! She did her first artwork which is of course displayed on the fridge! My DH is now working permanent day shift weekends off for three months, so that is also wonderful.... so that's our news.

Ness - Sorry your friend is leaving :(
Maz - glad the online store is going well... laughed at the sweat shop comment (and happy birthday to your big little man, sorry so late)
Anna** - Yay on getting a ride in. How cold is it here tonight. Let's organise a catch up soon... Caddie - you up for a catch up? Monday's best for me after I go back to work.
Nelle - Hello!
Rach - Send your friend here to sort out my garden please! We are growing a beautiful crop of weeds!
Kell - sorry to hear your FIL is not doing well, hugs to you.
Meg - hope your little man is better soon.
Shell - yay on Ash settling
Belle - good luck with the pg test.... hope you get some results with the new antid's if you're not pg
Laurin - must be hard being so far from everyone... you always have us!
AnnaT - hope Jett is better soon.... I know what it is like having a sick bub. Is he still on antibiotics cos that makes their poo yukky.
Chrissy - glad Craig's op was a success

Sorry if I forgot you.... hello! if I did. I am trying to get online and not be a stranger, but time escapes me these days xxxx

Hi Rikki! Glad to hear that Ains is better, and that's awesome about Sam being home weekends. That's so cool to have Ain's first artwork on the fridge.

Hugs Ness, Anna, Meg and Laurin. Anyone else need a hug? Things can get so tough and overwhelming so quickly can't they. Make sure you guys keep us posted on how things go so we can support each other. :hug

Good to hear from you Belle! Let us know how the dr's went.

Ambz, where are you hiding mate? Who else is hiding? You hiders you.

Hey if I'm AWOL from tomorrow, it's cos we're headed to the inlaws, so I might not get a chance to pop on. Then again, I might. Depends on what we get up to.

Riki - no he isnt still on AB because he's allergic to penicillin. I wish we could put it down to that though, would make it a heck of alot easier on me knowing what was causing it. Im glad Ains is much better now, its nice to have a proactive Dr isnt it? I hope she continues to improve!

Well last night was an ok night. He went down at 9pm, woke at 12:45 and sometime around 2:30 then not again til we got up at 8:30. He didnt have a bottle at all last night :o I just rocked him the time he woke up and was screaming like a banshee. I gave him a normal formula bottle last thing last night and he is drinking them no probs. I smell something foul though when he crawls at my feet so I think he's filled his dacks with remnants of the last week. No more vomits either so maybe it is just a gastro bug and its leaving (please please please let that be it!)

The inlaws are goneeeeeeeeeee :clap::dance: They left this morning while I was faaast asleep. We owe'd them some money because they paid for most of the Sydney trip as we had a stuff up with our bank but they left a note on the table saying not to give it back to them so thats taken stress off my shoulders, we are tight with money right now and I was dreading being down a few hundred $$$. They left presents for Jett - a little plastic pusher/ride on cart that he just LOVES and walks all around the house and a little trike that has big handles on the back so we can push him on it while he is too small to pedal. He loves it so much Ry had to push him around the house on it for ages last night :cryinglaugh:

More later, we need showers, my 13wk scan is at 12:15! Yay happy 2nd trimester to me!

Goodluck annat!
belle,do you get the results today?
Glad to hear ainsleigh is better rikki.
Not much happening here.Just reading all your posts.
Oh i did go shopping on my own yesterday.I spent up big. 2 new bras and undies,new jeans,new black pants and 2 new shirts and a black 1/2 cardy.Was so good.I ate lunch without having to share it for once or going cold.
BBL ruby is throwing her cheesy toast around!!!

AnnaT.. oh darl :hugs: Im sorry its gotten so bad for you. Im always (most of the time) on msn if you ever need someone to talk to ok.. if im away just buzz me. It can be hard doing everything on your own, esp raising a sick bubba and i cant imagine doing it all pregnant too. How is Jett today? Just keep an eye on him ok, if things get bad and youre worried, dont hesitate in going back to the hospital.. even if you think theyre gonna just turn you away.. go and pursue it with them. Just take care of yourself hun ok. Oh and thank you and the Jettman for signing the Jessman's guestbook :)

Rach.. well good on you for getting it done though! Hope Jack's poos go back to normal.

Sorry chicks.. will be back to finish the rest shortly.

The last 5 nights Ash has woken at around 11:30 and taken 1-1.5hrs to settle, even booby doesn't work, just cries and screams. I know she is teething but its bit coincidence that they would bother her same time everynight. I dunno, just makes me tired and grumpy. I am off to the casino today, baby free. Df can deal with her although she doesn't get grumpy in the day til its time to sleep.

Caddie- You must've enjoyed time out without 2 kids to drag along, retail therapy always does wonders. When do you get the results from your scope?

AnnaT- :hug: Stuff the housework, just take time for yourself, sounds like you need it. Hope jett keeps improving, that hospital sounds bit slack, most places would just routinely take a speciman.

Nelle- Yes I was at Max Brenners on Tues, ha imagine if we were there at same time! I was at the melb central one in the morning, I so love that place, felt bit sick afterwards though.

Rikki- Sounds like everything is going well. Yay on Ainsleigh finally getting better.

Nessa- How was sleeping on the new mattress?

Laurin- How did Rylee handle the weening? Any probs? I am just trying to change one BF to FF but Ash will only take like 40mls at most.

Meg- How are you and james this morning? Can your mum come over and help you out again if you're both crappy?

Belle- Lets us know the results from the test. Hopefully you can sort something out with the anti-depressants too.

hello to everyone else.
I just checked on Ash who is in her play pen and she has somehow managed to move the whole thing to the other side of the room, with her still in it but no idea how she did it!

hi girls thanks for those who didnt ignore my post I appreciate still being acknowledged even though im not a daily poster as i am unwell at the moment, im so anxious waiting at the moment! I called the doc but shes with patient so dont know if she has results yet... waiting waiting waiting. BBL when I know..

Rikki - YAY that Ains is finally better!Would love a catch up soon.

Laurin - How's the weaning go? I *think* I'm done with Xander too, I had dropped to one feed every second day, but this morning my boobs are way soft so I think that is it.

Shell - I hope you get some sleep soon, try and get in a nap somewhere.

Nessa - Sorry about the rant re the dog, I wasn't to know that you were just trying to get your DH to get his butt into gear.

Nelle - I'll take one of those hugs on offer please.

AnnaT - and passing a big hug to you. You really sound like you need it hon.

Belle - Any news yet? I got your message yesterday, but I had lost the phone :lol: and when I found it was too late to call you back.

Caddie - woohoo on the shopping spree, but an even bigger WOOHOO for getting to eat a warm lunch.

I'm so knackered girls, Xander has woken every 15 minutes for the last two nights and has been crying soooo much. Even when he is asleep he is so restless and if you even move him a tiny bit he wakes and cries big time (he is sleeping with us whilst he is like this). Weird tho, as during the day he is mostly ok. He is off his milk, but is still taking heaps of solids... no other signs of illness either. Heaps of drool but I honestly wouldn't have thought a tooth could cause THIS. Ideas? The doctors surgeries are totally overwhelmed up my way because of the flu scare, which makes me hesitant to even want to sit in the waiting room even if I could get an appointment.

hi all, will be back later for personals...

Just popping in to see if Belle is ok? any news on the results?


AnnaT - yeah for your scan.. cant wait to see an ultrasound of your little bean!
Caddie , have you got your results back as yet?

Belle.. as you know not everyone can respond to absolutely everyone everyday and every post. We try our hardest to cover as much as we can, but as you know we are all busy mums and we are a large group. Im sorry if i missed your post.. but i dont think its right to say we ignored it as if we did it on purpose? Anyways, lets forget about that.. as thats not important.. what is have you taken a home test? Are you expected to get a phone call today?

Sorry have to go again.. Jess is awake and demanding food.. see busy busy.. it never ends.. will definately be back afterwards to finish!!

The last 5 nights Ash has woken at around 11:30 and taken 1-1.5hrs to settle, !

---

Jack has decided 3-4am is a good time to wake he isn't hungry and the only thing that works is coming back to bed with me :( so tonight I am setting up the spare bed if its the only thing that works at least Jase can get some sleep I am putting his down to teeth

hi ya evryone else

Kell, I know everyone tries to answer so Im not having a go at anyone so please dont blow this out of proportion, I was just saying I appreciate those who answer my posts and thank them when they have time to do so.. I am not in a good place right now so im sorry if I chose the wrong words. So please dont have a go at me, I cant handle this right now lets just move on. Its hard enough for me to get through each hour without worrying out this also.

My Doc called the BT was negative, which I am kind of relieved I can actually go on a new medication (anti-depressant) and see a psyciatrist to work out how to stop what is going on.

:hugs: iam sorry for the :bfn: but hope the anti-dep help

Thanks for clarifying Belle, I didn't miss you this time, but I often do :p that's good you can try a new medication...keep us posted on how you progress mate!

((HUG)) Anna :hug: I've got no ideas what could be wrong at nights...but I'll check back when I've got more time and have a think about it.

Rans is rushing me out the door...so I'd better not make him mad by taking my sweet time here. Love you all!! xo

OH, and SHELL!! I was at the Melb central Max Brenner in the morning! But being me, it was very late morning, almost 12pm I'd reckon. I can't believe we missed each other so narrowly!! :D

So where is AF Belle! taking a holiday hey!

:hugs: dont ya hate days like that

ok, so i sad down to do the biggest post ever! only alexander decided that he would like to scream and do the biggest smelliest poo ever!

so im back trying to start again, oly just realised the time and hubby will be hom at 3.30 and the washing is still not done! Yikes.. im in so so so much trouble tonight ....lol

same here Annie excpet mine is isn't folded :lol:

Hi all - gonna keep this brief. Jame still sick. Really runny poos and throwing up. All this poop has made his bum red raw, so I have to let him lie there with his nappy off! Lucky he is not in the mood for moving around or else I would be following him with a mop.
Anyone got any good home remedies for nappy rash bottoms?
Anyway I will come back later if I get a chance. Absolutely exhausted as up half the night. Seems like he got over the cold, then got this!! Wish Tim was home. He has been gone a week now, and will be back tomorrow, but only for 2 days then gone again for another week. And it is my birthday next week. :(

I have some here Ness, I will give it a try

OMG - Ijsut read the last 20 posts and $hit!
I am so going to sound like a biartch but Kell weren't you upset the other month about no-one answering your posts and you were talking about leaving us for a while :( honey....Im not trying to stir the pot please dont get me wrong but I think that sometimes things totally get taken out of contents and our emotions take over. we all have our own battles to fight each and every day - some worse than others. I just hope that we can support each other through these times.
OK now you can throw $hit at me...im stepping of my box
ANNAT - how did your scan go...im busting my butt to find out!!!!!
MEg - oh poor little honey - corn flour helps to
Annie - Rach - I just got out of my pj's an hour ago...and have done NOTHING!!!!! ahahahhaha being pg again has been an excellent excuse
Ness - move over im coing to shar eyour bed..I hate my mattress. Its a stupid pillow top one and I have to turn it over once amonth! HATE IT!
Anna - ringing you straight after this
Later chickens
