Hello ladies - such a lot to catch up on - I did read the posts over the weekend but I was too lazy to reply on my phone. Dhs grandpa died on Friday (he was 92) so DH was up and down to the family rather a lot which left me with an every demanding young lady.. oh my goodness that child sometimes... anyway back to everyone else.
Lady H, I didn't find the gaviscogne to be of much use at all and you certainly need the level 2 teats, I was raging no one warned me about the need to increase the teat size and when I tried the gaviscogne for the first time I wondered why on earth she wasn't drinking much - she was tired of trying to suck the thick milk through the tiny teat! L had very obvious reflux, there was nothing silent about it and was put on carobel also to thicken the milk which made it even worse. In the end Losec was the magic cure for us. But if your LO is happy enough on 100ml and is gaining weight and still has plenty of wets I wouldn't be too worried. But if you are worried phone your mw or doctor. I spent too much time not asking questions as I was worried people would think I was over anxious!
Borboleta I hope T and G are feeling a bit better, not good having a sick toddler and husband at the same time!
Angel my dear you are not alone, DH only stepped up to the mark with the DTD when he decided he wanted another child! Other than that he generally shows no interest whatsoever in sex... I used to worry about it, especially when other people are practically beating their partners off! Oh and I doubt very much we will DTD this entire pregnancy and I will be too scared to after as I don't want any more babies! I do think you really put yourself down though and you are much prettier than you believe you are. Maybe you should seduce OH
Oh and we have NO ONE to look after L, my dads not capable and both my brothers have their own kids, so until it gets to the point she can go for sleepovers shes with us... I'm not even entirely sure where she goes when I am giving birth but hoping shes a lot more settled in 6 months time..
I can't remember who had the fever - sorry I know it was either G or N... no I don't think L had any really bad fevers with teething, she did with 2 urinary infections and once with slap cheek - I wouldn't let his temp get too high though. Oh read through again N - I hope the little dude feels better soon!
Happy birthday Leeze, I loved the look of your picnic on FB and then felt rather sad L will never have a birthday picnic with her rubbish 29th Dec birthday. Actually her birthday is on such a rubbish date I'm thinking of having a half year bbq every year on 29th June
Charlie yay for Sophia and the standing - she is coming on in leeps and bounds! It's so exciting for them being able to crawl about.
Squiggle - hello! I find the best advice is to ignore most of the advice and do what is best for you
Once you have your first you will know when the time is right for you to have more! Ignore your friend, you can't not have children cause someone else has decided they don't want them!
Kosh the tiredness is terrible and it is like a dark cloud descending - I remember all to well the days of wanting to collapse I was so exhausted and how everything was just a nightmare!
Ok I'm completely lost on what else I meant to write about! Big dr appt on Friday so if all goes well I will do my FB update then. Hardly anyone in work noticed my t-shirt - haha, but some of them already knew anyway. DHs family all know now and his cousin is due 2 weeks before me
I'm so so tired today, DH had me up from 2am coughing I was still awake at 4.15 when L kicked off, she had run out of milk and DHs coughing was bugging her so I had to change her nappy and lift her in with me - where she shuffled and squeaked, crawled about, lay against me, lay on top of me, lay up my back... eventually she stopped moving about an hour later and I fell asleep just before 6 only to be woken at 6.40 by L jumping on my head... I am so so so tired I can't stop yawning and I can't drink much coffee - bah!
Have a good day everyone!
