hey girls
sorry to be a neglectful buddy but my cup has been well and truly full at the moment
Life seems to be throwing me quite a few curve balls at the moment and i am juggling them the best i can!!!
Just know that i am thinking of you all and even though i am not posting much- i am still reading and sending my love to you all!!
mwah girls
xxx
'ditto' det! I'm reading but just dealing with getting through the day. A is walking and soooo busy...only 4 weeks to go till bub will be here...c section on 14th May if not before...only just started cleaning out the bubs room today...anyway...following from afar and thinking of you all xxx
crap night, been trying to get m back to sleep since 10.30pm... hoping this time shes asleep...... will do persies tomorrow
:hug: for you Olive!! That does sound crap! Sleep is pretty bad here at the moment too, stupid molars!! But I am hopeful because I know it was getting better before all this teething and being away for a week!
I have not caught up at all, was away for a week at easter and just got back on friday night!! Hope everyone had a great easter!! :hug:
Olive, you poor thing - I really hope she's better tonight, you both must be pretty wrecked today! :hug: Any ideas why??
Heaven - hope your week away was good! I feel your pain with the molars - think we have two coming as I said on FB. They suck! DD had her finger in her mouth yesterday chewing away and then all of a sudden stopped and started crying, I think she'd poked her own sore gum or something :( I'm hoping we get back to better sleeps too...
Ellie - great to hear from you!!! Lurk all you want... just glad to hear you guys are doing ok! I've been keeping an eye out for a BA for you, wasn't too sure how far along you are, good to know now.
Det - hi! See you tomorrow? Hope DS1 is ok and you've survived the school hols!
Kaz - great to hear work is going well for you, I think I beat it up a bit before I actually went back too. Also glad to hear he is finally enjoying CC a little bit! I know exactly what you mean about the silent cry - I hate that one, breaks your heart!!! Big hugs for the stuffed sleeping though, I feel your pain, as you know, sounds like our bubs are doing similar things. Its so difficult when they are arching back, red face, inconsolable. Feel like a crap parent because shouldn't we know what's wrong and how to fix it??? Here's hoping he settles into a routine with CC and you can start getting good sleeps back. How many days are you working??
Pinny - how you feeling? Did you get sick? hope not!
Nai - your hangover must be gone by now! Must have been a good night :D
Shell - how are the girls, all better??
AFU: well coincedentally with Olive, I was up at 2am as well - DD woke at 2am and grizzled on and off for about 20mins, til I got up, would not settle, DH got up too (takes a lot to wake him!!!) so we tried nappy change, water, cup of milk, eventually gave up and got her some panadol and then I fed her... we think she might have been hungry as she wasn't interested in any dinner and even though I gave her 2 BFs before bed, it might not have been enough...
I'd said to DH when we crashed at 10pm (after my dad's 60th) that what I needed was to sleep until my alarm went off, without waking... then of course I had a pee break at midnight, DD awake 2am-3am, DH started snoring about 4am :rolleyes: and then alarm went off at 6am. So stuffed today.
I'm into the third tri - think I'm starting to lose the good energy from 2nd tri... just feeling big and tired and knowing I've still got 12wks to go... sigh...
On a brighter note, my dad had his 60th party yesterday at my parents' house, which was great fun! Hard work for me, my mum and sister as we did the bulk of the food prep, cooking, cleaning, etc... but he had a great time which was the important thing!
Hope everyone is going well!!
:grouphug:
I think Malyna is right :grouphug: for all.
Well another 4am wake up today. I do not know what the problem is and I'm too tired to even attempt to... I don't even know what I am attempting. I won't bore you all with the details - I've written another thread about it if you are really interested.
Its all just too hard. I think my good energy from 2nd tri has well and truly evaporated.
Sorry for the boring "me" post.. I'm just over it all at the moment.
wow ellie not long now!! are you excited?
det whats happening with your family?? i saw a FB staus and youve got me worried, how is DS??
heaven did you have a nice easter away??
pinny are you feeling better? missed seeing you yesterday :(
malyna thanks i think we all did need that hug!
ali you on holidays still??
meg how are you going??
who have i missed :think:
op eekkk 4am wakeups suck! we have then but i feed still, TBH i cant be bothered fighting it at the moment! DD is down to one feed and i will feed anytime after 4am, before that and i *try* and resettle, not sure how to change it except perhaps try and resettle or offer boob or bottle, maybe try the jat gordan stuff and offer quick feeds for a few nights, then cuddles for a few more,then not getting out of cot :dunno: i hope its sorted before next bubs :hug:
AFM last 2 nights have been much better, monday she slept til 3am tool 30 mins to resettle, no boob then slept til 7am, last night woke at 3.39am, but seen as id had a crap sleep i couldnt be bothered resettling til 4am then feeding so i fed, she woke again 40 mins later but DH resettled then slept til 7am, so gettting better again, off to the osteo again on friday!
Olive - Excited...sometimes...terrified...most of the time! Cried my heart out last night as DH was trying to settle A and couldn't and all I could think about is what if she needs me when I'm in hospital with bub2...how am I going to give them both what they need when they need it...I guess I just have to focus on the fact she's so little she won't remember!!!
OP - :hug: 4am - that's early.
Olive - way to go on the settling.. Al is still a booby monster at night - I'm waiting for him to outgrow it - slack I know.
Eli - Everything will sort itself out... it always does.
AFU - up at 6am, out walking by 9.30 with a grumpy baby who is fighting at nap time, then he slept for 1.5hrs (while I walked), we napped again at 4pm (late I know) woke at 6pm - no idea when he's goign to go to sleep, but my fuse is so short at the moment.
olive thanks for your concern - you are a darl
DS1 got rushed to hossy on easter monday nite- he couldnt pee!! His uretha had totally closed over so in the end they had to put a supra pubic cath in- straight through his stomach. He spent 3 more days in hossy and is on massive amounts of AB's until the cath comes out. We go see the surgeon tommorow and they are planning more surgery for next wednesday!
I sent him back to school on monday- trying to keep things as normal as possible. Was going up twice a day to empty his bag etc. All was going fine until tues at lunch when his so called friend decided to kick him in the stomach- could have killed him!!
had words with the school and have now taken him out of school until he is well again as i do not believe that they can keep him safe and too worried about the cath being knocked/moved etc and causing more problems!
So that is DS!
Meanwhile my nan has been rushed to hossy- she lives in cairns so i cant do anything to help her so my mum has gone up there to help and drive my nan's hubby around who only came out of hossy 24 hours before this happened! She has a blood clot behind her eye and have now found a blockage in her heart that they are going to fix tommorow.
Also had to have my wisdom tooth taken out last thurs in the chair as it was causing so much trouble in my mouth and my jaw was infected and not getting even better with AB's- it still isnt any better with tooth out so i was suppose to go back to dentist today but woke up with a massive migrane and couldnt even see- so going tommorow now! I have been living off pain relief !!
My FIL is also going in for heart surgery next thurs so prayers from those incline to would be greatly appreciated!!
Meanwhile DD is school refusing and boof is having a massive growth spurt and has been suffering terribly with growing pains - poor poss
At the moment my cup is overflowing . . . no wonder i feel like i am drowning!!!! Thank goodness my DH is an absolute legend and is capable of everything- he is THE MAN!!
day at a time !!!!!
Det - :grouphug: :grouphug: sending you and your family loads of healing vibes.
Det thinking of you and your family, hope they all recover really quickly...
Det :hug: you have so much on your plate at the moment! I hope things start to get better for you.
Ellie - Wow! Not long at all now. You will be just fine and so will A. I found that DD1 developed a much stronger relationship with DP when DD2 was born. It did them the world of good to be honest.
Olive & OP - how is the sleeping going? Miss J wakes a couple of times during the night (1am and 5asm last night) but she has a little cry and goes back to sleep by herself (unlike me). She is getting molars #3 & 4 so I think they are hurting her.
Hey all
Det - way to make me feel like a whiner but having more problems than me :lol:
Seriously hun, so sorry to hear of your family dramas. Hope they all start healing soon. Do they know why DS1 couldn't pee??? Bizarre... and your poor grandparents up in Cairns, good of your mum to dash up there. Must be hard being so far away from them.
I'll keep you guys in my prayers :hug:
Nai, thanks for asking sweetie :hug: Still not going so great - I think we are getting molars too, only #1 and #1 for us but that's enough...
Ellie - I know what you mean - how am I going to survive with two of them??? But we will be fine - DH will learn, DD will adjust, it'll all be ok :hug:
AFU: Yawn, another stupidly early start. My SIL had her baby at 3am and they texted us at 5am... so we were awake, DD hadn't stirred but woke about 10mins after that. Don't know if she heard the phone or what... anyway I had a sippy of milk in the fridge, went and warmed it a little, gave it to her in bed (as per the lovely Nai's suggestion!) which she drank happily enough until she realised I wasn't going to pick her up and then she cracked it.
Soon as I picked her up all she wanted was BB, so stuck her on and then tried to put her back down, hoping she'd go back to sleep - nup. 6am by now so gave up and got her up... had another feed at about 6.30am and then some toast and then shipped her off to my sister's and came into work. Feel like cr@p.
No idea what to do.
Just popping in to say hi! Been working all week, so busy. Off to netball now.
Det - thinking of you.
OP Olive- Tell those cheeky monkeys to sleep!!
Nai - E is like that -wakes and stirs, but I don't need to go in to her. She is teething again too.
Not working tomorrow, but I have a weeks worth of house stuff to catch up on
Det- :hug: it seems to pour with you at the moment. So what caused the urethra to totally close over? I'll send some prayers that everything settles down for you and your family. Its great to know you have a fantastic DH who is so supportive.
OP- what if your hubby gave her the sippy cup milk instead? Would she more likely lay there happily then? Hope you sort something out.
Ellie- I used to feel the same way but things turn out fine, now Ash can't even remember a time it was just her. There are articles and threads on BB bout these sorts feelings.
Kaz- any improvements on the feeding front? CC going ok? He settled in alright?
Girls are better here except Ash's behaviour is bad, really rude shouting in our faces, refusing everythig, tantrums, so exhausting.
And now I'm not feeling 100%, nausea, headaches and lethargic most of the day, totally struggled at work yesterday.
