Thanks for the kind words girls...is so funny right, she had a huge feed before we went to the Dr, no spew, had another big feed an hour and half later when we got back from Dr, no spew. She then went for a little nap and woke up at 4:15pm. I fed her again at 5:30pm as she was hungry and had a big feed then again and she has been in bed since 6:30...but the main thing is she has now had 3 big feeds and no spew which makes me feel so much better. I was given a cup to try and catch some wee for the UTI and DH and I thought..woow that just may be a challenge. Dh asks, when does she pee? I said...when do you pee? When she has to!! LOL Then we thought that we should put her feet in the warm water before she goes in the bath and that she might pee, well......... we did just that, I held the cup underneath and she peed right in the cup, 1st go! We were so impressed with ourselves, so there is a tip to put in your mummy brains, if you need a urine sample, put their feet in the warm bath and there is a good chance you will get some wee in there!
Oh look at me babbling on again!
Sterla:that didn't sound like a nice experience but there is no point to dwell on it as you cannot change it, just be thankful you got a nice healthy bubba and that you will not let it happen for #2! That was a good gain for Oli too!! I think they are due to slow down a bit and 12 weeks they have another growth spurt due as well, so it could be the calm before the storm!
stelra- thats horrable. that midwife needs a kick up the back passage! if its affecting you write a letter of compaint! im doing that about daz's stay in the pead ward. going back there bought ALOT up, and sometimes i think places like this need just one voice to pipe up so they realise that some members of staff arent living up to whats expected of them! when you have #2 will you have a c-cection or a VBAC? or havent thought about it?
Moose: im sure sammy will be ok! she's still bright and cherpy. what is your mummy intinct telling you? im glad you got sammy to pee - i know last stint in hossy myself and a nurse waited an HOUR for daz to twinkle! sure made an interesting converation thats for sure! maybe sammys tummy was streching for more food? i hope all goes well...maybe check her temp if you think UTI ; i know when i had one my temp went though the rough by the time i got to the stage of me throwing up! (mind you i was 16 at the time....)
Jords: Yay for getting a new pram! now to learn how to steer it! haha...as for peeing in a cup i can do that...but when it comes to peeing on sticks...ahem...not so good :P
AFM: had a talk with DH about this whole hospital thing. broke down and finaly told himi feel like im failing darren. im now also going to change his formular...see if that makes him a little less blocked up. DH suggested i see a counceller about what happend in the paed ward...but the LC i norrmaly see said we'd talk about it...i swear if i get depressed that head of nurseing will be blamed. just like if i cant get darren back on the boob its her fault...but im writing a LOVELY compaint letter to the hospital telling them that they're labour/post natale/SCN/LC depts are LOVELY but the paed ward needs a kick up the bum when it comes to babys! other then that darren hasnt slept much today...i think once hes de-blocked (thanks to the bloody extra formular then what is on the back of the tin!) he'll be better...i feel much better since writeing this complait letter to the hospital....and tomorrow i'll hopefully give it to them...if not next week so i my LC can read it...Ohh tomorrow i see another LC about mottilim and attachment...fingers crossed it works out!
we are up to 7 feeds withhout a spew and went to get Sammy weighed this am ( for peace of mind) and she has gained 60gr since yesterday!!!!!!!!!!! WOOT WOOT!! Am still going to make the appointment at the paed as she has not been gaining so much in the last 6 weeks but the LC I saw again this am is so awesome & supportive, she says Sam still looks really healthy evenm though she is not gaining that much weight!
