Hi lovelies! I have been keeping up to date with the posts, but just never had a second to reply.
~b~ - hope that Ewan is on the mend, poor little soul! Love the pics on FB - he has such cute chubby cheeks and really looks like his sis!
krisvee - hope everyone is on the mend. Fraser broke out in bad milk spots, all over his face, neck, chest and head. He kept scratching them and making them bleed. A friend told me to try sorbolene and it works wonders - the cleared almost instatly!
beata - hope all well with Cam - he's probably going through his 6 week growth spurt. Fraser went through an awful 4 day period then when he would only take 40-50 mls of his bottle, and was ready for next feed every 60-90 mins through the night. It was awful! Hope you don't have it that bad!
Hi to everyone else - I can't remember further back than there!
As for us, we're going pretty good guns! Had a check-up with the paed to look at Fraser's sacral dimple on Tuesday and glad to say that it is completely closed over so should not give him any problems until he is older! Phew - that's a relief! Especially when we were told that it could mean Spina Bifida (although he's great at weeing and his legs move the way they are supposed to). We got a referral for an Ultrasound just to make sure all the bones are fine - I'll breathe a sigh of relief when we have been for that. We also got a referral to a Baby Physio as he's preferring to lie on one side. The few days before our appt, he wasn't turning his head to the left at all, but the paed stretched it out and he's been a bit better since then. Had n appt at the CHN yesterday and he's up to 4.6 kg which is great, considering he was so small!
We did have a 2 and a half our awake time through the night last night which wasn't ideal, but if it only happens once or twice a week, I can handle that! He's almost going 4 hours straight between feeds and it makes such a difference to get that little bit longer sleep in one period. Still expressing what I can get and giving formula for the rest and we're also on daily prunce juice (at the advice of the midwife, my doc and paed) to keep him regular as it was 3 days between poos, and he was most def constipated, as it was a dry little pile when it came out.
hi everyone, just a quick post from me as I'm on all day cuddles with my little man today.
He had the big snip today, it was so sad poor fella. It's what DP and I want but at the same time it wasn't nice hearing squeal. having said that though he was a very brave boy and he's happy again now. He's also up to 4.6kg!! 500g in a week (although he was weighed directly after he'd had a feed so that would have upped it a bit)
Hope everyone is going well, all the 6 week checks are coming up if they haven't already so I hope all the bubbies do really well and pass with flying colours.
Hi everyone! Hope everything is going ok, I have been reading all the posts but have been so busy I didnt have any time to post!
I am feeling so much better, had an u/s and the retained products are mostly gone so continuing with antibiotics and going for another scan next week. I am really shocked at how different everything is now it is settled down, I was obv struggling so much... but I thought it was normal. Now I know it really wasnt.
I am so in love with my little girl... this mummy thing is amazing She has started smiling at me when I get her from her bassinette ... oh it makes my freaking day! And too my suprise I just love breastfeeding her, my DP thinks I am going crazy, but when she falls asleep on the boob it is so nice.... I had said I would stop at 6 months, and I think I am going to find that harder than I thought.
Oh and no DTD for us yet. I want to soon, but it is such a scary thought after all the carnage down there. One of DP's friends described watching his partner in labour as "Like watching his favourite pub burn down" - ok not very nice but man I laughed!
Meercat- LOL!LOL!LOL!LOL! that's the best laugh i have had for a while! I totally love that saying! I'm glad you are feeling better.
~b~ i hope your little man is feeling better
miamunchkin- is that sorbolene cream? Grace has come out in a milk rash/pimples as well.
Misssawah- ohhhh, your poor little man. I cried like a baby when my ds had his done. I felt so nasty! Thankfully we had a girl this time so we didn't have to worry about it!
Krisvee- So sorry you all have the flu/cold. Hope you are all better soon.
Beata- i agree! I have had 2 nights where grace has slept 6 hours consecutively and i have had 5 hours sleep and i still wake up feeling completely stuffed!
