whoops we have a crash
BBL
Hi guys!! Haven't been in here, DD has been sick and I can't get her off me so had no time to catch up. Went back to the Dr yesterday and she had Roseola. I had never heard of it but apparently it's very common at this age and by the time we're adults we're all immune. She had a temp for 3 days, then a rash on her body for 3 days. She doesn't seem to have any symptoms any more but is seriously cranky and clingy. I thought it was coz she's sick but now I see lots of us are dealing with the same thing. I am freaking OVER IT!!!!!!!!!!!!
Is this what's happening to everyone else??
-she cry's all the time (she never usally cries) and it's like a really upset cry with tears because she wants to be picked up.
-she can be playing fine and then as soon as she sees me will cry bc she wants me
-I can't do anything without her crawling over to my feet to be picked up
-even sitting in her highchair eating and I'm right next to her she screams coz she wants to be picked up.
-she wants me to hold her while she plays!!
OMG the constant whinging is doing my head in. Where is my happy girl?? She has been cosleeping too when she was sick and it was a nightmare trying to get her to sleep in her own bed last night! So is this normal or is she still sick??
Sounds like some seperation anxiety too Heaven but also as she is sick it is probably making it worse :(
LOL Holly - that was long for a quick post!
Jols - Woot! 10,000 posts!!
Miss J has been up twice during the night too so it seems to be the thing at the moment. I resettled her without feeding at 12.30am but then brought her into our bed at 5.30am when she woke again. Then this morning she did the biggest poo!! I am soooo glad she was wearing a wondersuit as it came out of the nappy leg holes and filled up the legs of the wondersuit (sorry TMI) - I was in shock!
Wow Nai, huge poo!! LOL out the leg holes :ROFL:
Heaven, yeah L is like that all the time. Unfortunately for us, I think that's just him and not a phase!! :rolleyes: If DP or someone else is holding him and I walk past or he spots me somewhere else in the room he starts crying and wimpering and reaching his arms out. If I walk towards him but then past him he starts screaming because he thought I was coming to get him :lol:
I bought a scootababy hip carrier the other week and have been using it - it is great!! I am forever carrying L on my hip and it's breaking my arm so this has really saved me. Comfy too. He is just too heavy for the hab now, so putting that away for the next one :p
Shell, yeah the separation anxiety is definitely only with me here. L couldn't give two hoots if DP was here or not - he's a mumma's boy for sure! As for my sister, I think she will be eligible for parole in the coming month or two, but if not, she will have served her time by Feb I'm pretty sure. She is 18 next month so if she stuffs up again, it may not be juvie next time.
We're having a bathroom bashed out at the front part of the house near L's room so it is full of dust!! He's currently napping in the pram next to me as I don't want to have in the dusty part of the house. He is making funny noises...hope he's not waking up :doh:
Oh and some exciting news on the solids front...last night he woofed down a bowl of pumpkin, freshly cooked and not pureed - I don't think he likes the defrosted pureed mush! And this morning for breakfast he had banana mixed with avocado and loved it! Ate the whole bowl. I then gave him half a cruskit and he ate that too. Woohoo!
Well, that's all from me. Hi to everyone else! xox
DS had roseola when he was about this age. He got over it in about a week or so. I agree it sounds like seperation anxiety.
Bummer Nai on J being up. If it is makes you feel any better I had j in with me all night. He woke at 10pm with a raging temp and was VERY upset.
AJP - I hope you get a better night tonight, in fact I hope we all do.
OP - Yay on being dummy free.
Holly - you just have to trust that you wil lbe fine on your own and go for it!
Malyna - you sound very tired. I hope you can get a rest soon.
I am really peeved an annoyed today. After being up so much overnight while DH slept in the spare room, I was looking forward to a lunch with a friend today. As DH has the day off, was thinking even though J is unwell and can't go to childcare, he would be at home so I would take E and leave J. Anyway his work rang this morning, and he took an overtime shift! He thought that J could still go to childcare as even though his nose is running like a tap and that he has a hacking cough, he no longer has a temp. So I have had to cancel my lunch to stay home with J. He is not well enough for childcare, and anyway he would make other kids sick.
The friend I was having lunch with leaves to go back to London next week. so I won't see her for another few years. It is not like we desperately need the money. I think he does it to get away from the whinging kids. I am so tired, I have coldsores from being run down, and he already did the night before as overtime, meaning that I had been home alone with the kids for the past 5 or so day/nights.
I am so annoyed and upset. In fact I might go paste this and post it as a boo hoo.
ETA - Is E the only one still not crawling?? (she is not even close)
Nai - Thank you so much for a good morning giggle! I'm sure it wasn't very funny at the time lol!
Meggie - No crawling here...just moving around on the tummy.
Separation a HUGE issue here at the moment too...and last night was a SHOCKER. DH away for work and A was waiting for him to say goodnight...ended up having to get her up and show her he wasn't in the bathroom or our bed and she finally went to sleep but woke up every two hours unable to settle herself which is really weird? So fed her at midnight and she still woke every two hours but managed to settle herself...just hoping it's not the zofran I took for the first time yesterday for ms??? I am sooooooo tired!!!!
Hi lovely mums and bubs
So funny to hear we are all going thru the same thing! Just got home from MG and a few of the bubs there are doing the separation anxiety thing as well! Isabel's in the high chair next to me right now playing with her drink bottle (I know, its not a toy, but its keeping her happy!) but if I leave her eye line she cracks it!
We had a shocker last night - woke at 10pm, screamed for over two hours. So tired but so fighting sleep! Then awake at 6am!
Heaven, I ask the same thing - what happened to my happy baby???
Meg, you poor thing having to cancel your lunch! That really sucks. I know what you mean about feeling like he's just trying to get away from sick baby! Really annoys me when DH hands Isabel back to me because she's grizzling!
Also Isabel isn't crawling, neither is Levi! Only three of the eight bubs in MG are crawling if that helps...
Holly - good news on the solids! And the scootababy! I had Isabel in an Ergo today, forgot how good it was to have hands free. Might need to start using mine again...
Nai - LOL at the poo! Isabel did massive one today too and hopefully Det will tell you about Levi's :D
Ali - hope miss A is feeling better soon poor thing!
Better go feed the munchkin before she gnaws her arm off!!!
Hi girls,
I agree it is comforting to know that we are going through the same things and hoping these phases go away as quickly as they came on.
I am so sad about DD being so sick. I have taken photos of her rash as it is really bad. She looks really really sore and yukky. It is not nice. We are back at the hospital for DP tomorrow for anothe ct scan and god knows what else. I also have to take DD back to the doctors as well so they can seee what her rash is like in the morning. It is even on the soles of her feet and her palms. She is covered. I was so scared this morning, thinking meningicoccal or meningitis but thank goodness its not one of those.
Jols- 10000!!!! WOW!!!!! When did Soph get teeth??? Do you think Millie will get them around the same time Soph did?
Nai- DP gagged the other day when he changed a pooey nappy as it was so disgusting! You made me giggle though!
Holly- I am thinking of getting a new sling, I like Heaven's one! Think I might ask some friends if I can try theirs out so I can decide what to get. DD is gettign so heavy!
OP & Heaven- the seperation anxiety is killing me! Lets hope its over soon! I want my happy baby back as well!
Heaven- so glad DD is better, hoping Ash recovers soon as well. I will ask about the roseola tomorrow.
Ellie- How is the MS? Getting any better. Vegemite always worked for me. Do you have a baby bump yet???
Malyna- :hug: hope you get a good night sleep soon
Meggie- that is so crap that you missed your lunch. I havent been to mums group for weeks as I have been running arounda fter DP and DD and I dont think DP realises how important it is for us to catch up with adults. Good on you though for not sending DS to preschool sick. :hug:
Kaz- How are you hun? Hope you and J are well :hug:
RRaver- good you are popping back in!!! :hello:
Shell, Det - I am having a mental blank so need to go back and re-read the posts :redface: Thinking of you girls.
I am zonked cant remmeber what else. :grouphug:
ffruuittttttttttttt would love to swear but cant!!
millie has just woken :( think its going to be a looooooooooooooooooooong night, DH is away tomorrow til thursday too.
ali sophie got them at 9 months...BBL DH cant settle her...
Yep sounds like we all having same drama, drives me nuts sometimes, if I'm upstairs doing something she is fine as soon as she either sees me or hears me upset wants me, also had a wakeful night here last night, she wasn't happy.
Ellie- how you feeling with the zofran, thats a great anti-nausea drug, very expensive too!
Meg- I don't blame you being ****ed. I know when Df is on holidays and the kids are sick he makes mentions how he looks forward to going back to work cause easier. It not fair cause he has had his weekends away so why shoudln't you have this? Its so hard when we can't get a break but whenever things get too much for them they can easily get away from it all while we have to soilder on.
Holly- hopefully she'll get out soon and stay on the straight and narrow. Enjoy the day with her tomor.
I'd been meaning to ask how your scootababy is going. cause yeah our HAB I wear her facing out but gets heavy quickly, so with yr scootababy do you find you can wear for a lenghth time without pain? How well does weight go on the shoulder strap any pulling?
Nai- PMSL!
Heaven- could be a mix of seperation and being unwell, poor girl is the rash settling? yeah that whingy is what pushes me over the edge! Its just constant.
Anyone else still waiting for a tooth? I am waiting and waiting and still doesn't feel like much coming!
Everyone posted same time.
Jols, hope you get her settled maybe this is it then she'll sleep all night!
Ali- what do they think the rash is from? Is it irritating her?
Shell- No teeth here. I go tmine at 6months but DP didnt get his until 8months. Hope things improve over there soon. They think the rash is from the infection she has just had the last week and its a way that the body fights off the infection. :dunno: really but they said it is not dangerous to her. It looks horrid! I am still sick coughing. This has gone on over 2 weeks now. My holidays are almost over and I have been sick the entire time! Not fun!
Jols- I might have to use the word frrrrrrruuuuuuiiiitttt more often than the alternative as well! Hope she goes back to sleep soon :hug: oh and stays asleep!
i had to feed her, shes back down again, not sure for how long though.
sorry for lack of personals!
shell no teeth and no crawling here.
ali hope miss a's rash clears soon and you win the lotto!
Ali - I hope the rashes settle down, Can be quite scary when you don't know what it is.
Shell - Yeah I agree he gets weekends away etc and I haven't basically since J was born, so 3 years now.
AJP = I really hope that you get a good night. I will be thinking of you when I am no doubt up with J!
J has been a nightmare all day today. Back to the terrible behaviour. It coincides with him being sick again. I really can't wait till I get into the paed in November. It is fuuny that Mis E is so chilled even when sick, but J is all the trouble. J was such a chilled baby I wonder if the same hting will happen. except J would eat properly - E still only has a bit of rice cereal for breakfast, maybe some yogurt for lunch, and about 4 tsp's worth of veggies in a few different forms - mashed/fingers. The veggies are still a HUGE struggle, but she tollerates it better if I put a cheese sauce on it!
We have 2 teeth here, and she teethed trouble free.
meg sorry to hear j is sick again :hug: hope he gets better soon
have you tried the rafferty pouches??? there vegies and apple puree and quiet sweet
shes up again :doh:
Frrrruuuiitttt is a very good alternative lol!!!! Talk about clingy OMG! I actually had A sitting on my lap while I went to the loo...just all too much for her??? How long does this stage last???
Shel - 2 teeth here and biting!
Zofran is fantastic...had dinner two nights now...makes a huge difference...and living on vegemite on toast...tummy very bloated and jeans are driving my nuts on my tummy...starting to feel tight sure it's just in my head.
Here's hoping we all get some sleep...soooooooo tired :)
