I'm more worried now bout Emily's hip and the uneven leg creases cause on closer looking I found her right leg is longer and those bony hip parts when I felt for them are symetrical across. I been googling up on it and hip dysplasia so now got myself all worked up. Have to wait til mon to see GP.
Plus we're getting even less sleep. Emily is all snuffly so the dummy has become even more a problem but can't take it while shes got a cold and don't want to take it if she ends up having hip probs and needs comfort!
Aw Shell sending you a big Easy for me to say but try not to stress hun. If she does have a leg or hip problem, one or two more days until you can confirm it won't make a huge difference to the treatment outcome I'm sure. She is so young, you must be so worried. Try to take care of yourself this weekend too hun. At least your DF is around the next couple of weeks to help you out. Come in here and vent all you need. Thinking of you and Em.
Shell, I hope it's good news at the docs. What happens if her joints are out of whack? What do they do?
Kaz, so sorry to hear about your pooch
AJP, have a good time at the inlaws - they can't be that bad can they?
Wow Pinny, L sounds like he's on the move with the rolling and all! My L often gets worked up before a feed too!
Ali, good to hear you managed to relax and have a bath! Ikwym about DP's help not really helping! At least they try...lol.
Nai, we've already got boxes of clothes stored away that no longer fit! I can't believe how fast they grow.
Tarkine, how many mum's/babies in the group? That's really unfortunate that they are like that.
Anyway, afm...I'm so sure that L is teething. I can see and feel bumps on the gums and it looks like he's getting his eye teeth first!
Had such a bad night last night. He was so upset and screamed, didn't want boob, nothing could console him I called nurse on call to see if he could take panadol while on his medication which they said was fine but when I looked at the panadol, it had it expired!! He eventually calmed down...but what an ordeal! He hasn't been like that in a while (well seems like a while, maybe a week or 2) so it coincides with starting his medication. I was told possible side effects include diarrohea (sp?), abdominal pain and sleeplessness (great!), but that they should calm down and get used to it in time. So maybe it is the medication??
The only way we can get some sleep is if he sleeps on me or right next to me, leaning on me, so either way I can't move. It is so annoying. He will not sleep on his own or let me put him down away from me. What's worse is that we both get so hot and sticky, he's a really hot baby. I'm terrified I'm going to accidently smother him or something in my sleep as well! Last night I woke up and he was lying next to me, far enough so we weren't touching, on top of the covers completely uncovered. His hands, face & ears were so cold and I can't even remember why he was lying there! I don't remember putting him there. I think I'm going delirious!
Also noticed he has what looks like nappy rash It's all red and patchy/spotty above his peepee (lol), but sort of low down on his belly where the nappy just reaches. How does this happen? I change him so often and put cream on him
AJP- Hope you had a good time at the inlaws, how do the girls go travelling in the car??
Holly- A big , heaps going on for you at the moment!! Chin up, Could the nappy rash be thrush??
Shell- Good Luck at the DR's, of course your concerned but at least they.you have picked it up now, I know I would be looking up on the net too but sometimes it's actually better not too, often have worse case senarios etc on the net, probably not what you need to read about now.. A big hug to you & em
Kaz about me being fit.... I WISH, no not at all trying to get back into shape and love doing the classes, I was never one for excercise classses prior to ch'n, but wish i did, now I have a taste for it I just love it....makes me feel to much better about myself, I think the endorphins help put my hormones back on track too..
Hi to everyone else....Another fairly good night for us, 5 hour block then 3hours..DH was a darling this morning and took Lewis and DD this morning so i could sleep in.....slept till 9.30am but have felt sleepy all day, as they say sleep promotes sleep!!!!
Holly - I hope you have a better night tonight Could the medicine be causing the nappy rash?
Shell - I know easier said than done but google is not your friend right now and it will probably just stress you out. Try to hold out until you see the Dr on Monday.
Most of the clothes we have are DD1's hand-me-downs so they have been stored just in plastic bags. Once Miss J finishes with them most of them are almost destroyed from her chucking on them anyway Grrr - she is crying AGAIN! She has just been so miserabel at night the last few nights and just cries and screams at bedtime, waking every 45min and not wanting to go back down. It's doing my head in - I am hoping it's just another tooth or a phase as it is not much fun
Nai - have you tried one of those amber necklaces? Det may be able to give you the link to where she purchased hers from.
Holly - I really do wish I was closer to give you a hand. My mum is not too far from you, she said that she would be more than happy to come over and give you and hour or two during the day so you can catch some sleep.
Shell - I know it is hard, but please try not to stress. I am hoping that all wil lbe fine xxx.
Pinny - I slept till 9am today and feel so good for it. DS is at my mums. E woke at 4:40, but I went and popped her dummy back in, and she slept till 6am. Gave her a quick feed, and then she woke at 9am ish! Woo hoo! and as I was not having to get up with DS I just slept till she got up. Got a feeling that tonight won't be as good. DH on night shift, and I have already been in twice and it is only 10pm!
Ali - did you make it to bed by 8:30?
mhami - great to see you and Posy again on Friday!
Kaz- I am terribly sorry about your dog. It is always tough to see our pets unwell. You must be devastated. xxx
I am going to the movies tomorrow, then I am working for a few hours on Monday, so might be AWOL for a few days
The reason for Miss J's crankiness is revealed - tooth #2 is currently breaking through the gum! I would be cranky too, poor little poppet. Our mini woohoo was that DD1 wore undies to bed last night and woke up dry!! Yay
Megie - am jealous about the movies. Have a great time!
Nai- Another tooth!! Wow, poor little poppit hope she feels better quickly
Meg- Hope you had a good time at the movies!! It;s been so long since I've been, must try to get to the mums and bubs sessions before lewis gets too old
Shell- Good luck at the DR's tomorrow
Hi to everybody else, sounds like we all had fairly busy weekends...My little man has a slight cough,not sure what it's all about no snot & hasn't been unwell, no temps just a cough every now and then....will get it checked out if I'm still concerned tomorrow.
Hope we all have good sleeps tonight, think I might go to bed early & read my book.
Night Night
hey girls
still here lol- sorry for lack of personals but just wanted to update so you know that i havent fallen off the face of the earth lol
All going great here- my little man is still a cruzy little champ
he is eating heaps of solids - having brunch and dinner everyday now. Having the dinner has really cut out all the cluster feeding at nite. He really is loving the food and thriving on it! He has grown heaps in the past week!
DH took the twins to the footy today so boof and i went to greensy and i had a massage and a pedicure- it was ACE! Thought i would treat myself in anticipation of the school hols! Boof just sat up on my knee and fed whilst i had my feet done - little champ was charming all the girls working in the shop.
had a couple of nites off paper work, but the whip is back being used tommorow nite. Tax for 08 is done ,as well as 3 of the outstanding BAS- now gotta get 09 tax and the other 3 BAS done as well! Been busy also mediating between the folks- they ring me to see how each other is- is so sad- you can tell they miss each other's company so much, but there is no hope that they will get back together. Maybe they should just live together as friends instead of h/wife- but i can't see that happening for a while.
off to bed soon- gonna try and get there b4 midnite tonite! WHOOT
Hello everyone!! Gosh, I haven't posted in here for ages. It seems like everytime I start DD wakes up or wants me!!
We have been having a rough time with sleeping for a couple of weeks. DD hasn't been having her long sleep (which is only 4hrs anyway!) at night and has just been waking every 1-2 hrs!! omg. She's been fussy during the day too and whingy. She was pulling at her ears too and I was wondering if maybe it's teeth? But i have no idea, I can't see anything.
Then 3 nights ago we gave her some of the brauers teething relief at night just to see if that would make a difference and if it was actually teething and she only woke once!! And we got 3 good nights in a row!! But then I felt bad like maybe the stuff made her sleepy and if she's not actually teething I'm just like sedating her coz I want sleep, pmsl. I only gave her one dose anyway, haha. And the other 2 nights I didn't give her any and she slept good again but then last night she was up every hr I have no idea what her problem is but I'm over it!! It just feels like her sleep is getting worse not better!!
Anyone else having the same problems? I'm reading the no cry sleep solution atm so hopefully that will help.
Just a quckie. Went to GP today, we being sent for u/s tomor. Her hips on examination don't dislocate but the left one feels tighter and they definately uneven. So we'll see tomor what u/s says. I skipped vaccinations cause she still all snuffly so we still not getting much sleep either.
BBL for personals.
Shell- Glad your going for U/S tomorrow....someone once told me that the routinely U/S each baby in the UK for hip dysplaisa (sp?).. so it's a good thing to get it checked out.
welcome back AJP, hope it went well.
Heaven, I hope you get some sleep soon
Det- Boof sounds like an eating machine, what foods do you give him or are you still on rice cereal???
Lewis does not seem any worse today but still has slight cough, it seems to be when he has reflux....just tried to make DR's app for tomorrow but they are fully booked both tomorrow and wed. Will have to ring in morning to see if there are any cancellations He doesn't cough often probably 6-8 times a day, I know I sound paranoid but he doesn;t normally sound like this when he coughs..
Shell - Good luck at the u/s tomorrow - hopefully its a fairly minor problem if the hip doesn't actually dislocate? Be thinking of you and Em.
Meg - Have fun back at work!! Hope you don't miss us too much
Heaven - That sounds quite crap mate. If it makes you feel any better, J's sleep has deteriorated at night over the past few weeks too (although not quite to hourly waking yet). I have heard that it's quite common at 4 months. How is the sleep book? I've got that on order now so hopefully it's good.
Pinny - Don't worry about sounding paranoid darl. DP just told me he heard on local radio news today that there's an outbreak of whooping cough in my town atm. Better to get L checked and be told it's nothing. J coughs a bit too at times.
Det - Sorry to hear about your parents. Hope it's not too draining on you being in the middle.
AJP - Hope your weekend with the outlaws went well darl.
Nai - More teeth!! Hope it cuts through quickly so life goes back to normal for you.
Holly - Massive for you mate. You do such a good job with L. You sound quite tired - is there anyway you can get more sleep? Will L settle for your DH? I hope he adjusts to the meds soon.
Alibaby - How are you doing darl? Hope everything is ok with you.
Hi to everyone else - OP, RR,
AFM - Not much to report. Night sleeps are still all over the place. He has been really grumbly this afternoon. We're gradually moving him over into his own cot I'm a bit sad about it but he's getting a bit too big for the basinette.
Kaz- They look so tiny in the cot don't they. I still have Em in bed next to me, just find is so much easier I'm dreading the cot for the simple reason I don't want to have to get up out of bed!
Pinny- Hopefully the cough is nothing, if its with the reflux maybe just irritating his throat?
Heaven- Those brauers stuff is all natural ingredients I think so don't feel bad bout using, my motto is whatever works. Hopefully you get some sleep, its just so hard when they are waking that often, you need that block of sleep.
Det- Ooh the pedicure/ manicure sounds great! Sad bout your parents, how many years were they together? It would be hard not having that person there after all the years.
Meg- How was work? Did they desperately need you? When are you going back permanantly? What movie did you see?
Holly- Big hugs, sorry to hear you are having such a rough time. How has he been? Settling any better? Sounds like it all could easily be due to the medication. How much longer is he on it for?
More bad news here, Df's nephew woke up this morn in bed full faeces and blood so he is in hospital having scopes done tonight to try and determine where the bleeding is occuring and why, poor boy is only 5, must be scary for him.
