Kaz- we are all here for you hun. You did everything you could and planned so well. Please be kind to yourself. I know things didnt go how you planned and it cant be changed now but please dont think that you did anything wrong. Lots of love and support for you hun. Nai- DD doesnt say any "words" either but I know she has good hearing. She can hear me in another room. My mum told me I didnt really speak until I was 2 because I had an older sister who did all the talking for me and I could never get a word in! I cant believe the MCHN would make you stress like that. Pinny- You might have to PM me your name as I think my profile you can not search for. If you PM me your name I will add you. Shell- We have this attatchment phase going on here too. Its so tiring! Let me know when Emily finishes it so that I will know I dont have much more of it to go. Heaven- The video of Grace crawling is so cute! She is so clever! Did it take her long to work it out? We are doing the rocking things here up on the knees and weight on the hands and we sometimes move backwards and she can shuffle around to turn 180 degrees so I am thinking its not far away! Ellie- Hows number 2 baking? I hope that MS is getting better. I meant to ask you, have you told family and friends yet? Meggie- Hope all that noise stops soon and you guys get some sleep. Sounds awful! Olive- How are you and Millie going? Been thinking of you guys.
I cant see any further back but hi to everyone else.
AFM- I am still sick! Am now nearing the end of the 4th week of being sick. I am fine during the day but when night comes and first thing in the morning it hurts so much to swallow. I really should go to the doctors but I dont want to take antibiotics. They stuff my body around way too much. Ash is okay, but I am worried about re-infecting her again!
We still dont have any teeth here! Kind of enjoying it as hen she smiles she still looks so little with that gummy smile!
I might be a bit quiet over the next few weeks in the forums as I am going to have to start writing school reports and marking lots of assessments for the kids. I will be lurking though and try to post when I have time.
Kaz - I hear you with the decisions that were good at the time, but now seem bad. You know hun you did the right thing at the right time, even though the outcome wasn't what you thought it would be. It is so daunting to know what is the 'right' decision, particularly with medical personal all standing around going "Well you could do x or do y or do z" and when all you can think about is "I want my baby in my arms safely" its hard to logically progress through each option.
In hindsight, I would have done a lot of things differently... but then different decisions may lead to different outcomes, or they may just have lead to the same thing happening but just as a result of a different path...
I like to think that these things that happen to us, are sent to test us or are sent as lessons for us to learn, to resolve something in our past, something we needed to address or remedy - like karma and other buddist philosophies... I'll go back to my corner now.. I'm getting a little too way out there even for me!
Ali - sorry to hear that you're not well.. you should go to the dr... I wonder what it is at night that gives you that reaction... could it be like a food allergy? I know there is a lot of hayfever here at the moment.
Kaz It's just so hard to plan for something so unpredictable and as first timers even more so. Please don't beat yourself up about it - J loves his mummy all the same!
Ughh well L is unwell. The last two nights have been hellish. Lots of waking and so hard to settle - even for him! He was waking every 15 mins or so (or so it seemed, maybe not even!) I had to stay up and hold him and if I put him down he would just keep waking up with a sudden outburst of cries. He has a stuffy nose so that was waking him up mostly I think. Plus lots of gas which was also waking him up. I think he is suffering from hayfever also. His face is all red and blotchy and he's so itchy. Poor bubba!
We are unwell here too, its never ending. Emily has bit temp yesterday and today so even more whingy and clingy than usual. I've had cough for a month but it mainly just at night and sore throat for week that comes and goes.
Holly- Maybe try some panadol just to help settle him if he is miserable? I hope he feels better soon.
malyna- great post, you have a good way with words.
Ali- doesn't sound like Ash is far off from crwling, Emily did that for awhile, and went backwards then one day just clicked and was moving everywhere. Sounds like Dr trip might be needed for you.
Shell- Hope the suckness soon passes! poor girl, must be hard...
Kaz- like the others have said be kind to yourself, try not to live with regret..I too would change things aboutr my DD's birth
Mayla-Like your philosophy... i have similar views.
Ali- that's a long time to be unwell, hope you can get on top of it soon..
I am exhausted!!! we have a a busy week with lots of birthday celebrations and parties and to top it off I was on kinder duty this morning... arhhh but having a relaxing day planned for tomorrow.. L had become really vocal in the past few days especially when he is tired!! and he is also pinching heaps..I know he is only a baby but ooww it hurts i little bruises on my arms!!
I must have the freaky baby in the group... Alex is crawling properly, and is getting himself up on his own (video on facebook), but he still supports himself with his arms - he's ****y and will only hold on one handed. He waves, but gets lost looking at the light going between his fingers and he highfived the swim instructor last week (which was a wave, I think).
The words are a lot slower coming - mostly mumumumum and daddda and we say "at" at the cats and the occassional car...
Opps he's awake.. he was monster baby last night, wouldn't go down unless I co-slept and DH and I were clinging onto the sides of the bed... Gotta fly
Taking Em to Drs this arvo, still getting temps, lots crying, awake alot overnight screaming at times and couple massive vomits so we'll see.
hard to type at moment with her on me so bbl
Am trying.
