Any Scottish April 2013 babies out there??

[Kaybee]

Haha must of replied same time as Arlene. Arlene explained it much better than me. Left hand one finger typing as feeding Dylan lol.

We went to see fast 6. We hardly ever go but there are a few films out just now Id like to see but dont want to ask my mum again to look after boys. Plus its kinda pricey!

Hope the photos go well.

Ah that sounds good Would save cooking from scratch

Shaun loves having a wee brother too but he's finding it difficult having to share me after having me to himself for almost 8 years.

Alex has thrown up so much today there's wee bits of blood in the vomit now He's screaming in pain too. Just when I thought we had turned a corner

 

[Kaybee]

Oh no poor Alex. Maybe worth trying the other meds or are you waiting for two weeks to eliminate dairy?

Kaiden doesnt seem fussed about sharing me but then I guess Shaun has had you to himself for longer and Alex will need more attention than Dylan so he probably finds it a bit easier to adjust.

 

[lj2245]

Yeah definitely. I've had just about zero time for poor Shaun. He asked me to play board games with him tonight as Stephen is on backshift but I had to say no because I can't put Alex down. It's heartbreaking for all of us!!

Alex has his 6 week check up tomorrow so I'm going to push for a change of meds. What we have isn't working

 

[Kaybee]

Huge Laura. Good luck at his check tomorrow. I really hope he gets something that can help him.

 

[lj2245]

I'm beginning to think it's something we're just going to have to live with

Hey girls.

What a time I'm having with lewis lol. He just feeds, gets winded, sleeps for 15 mins or so then wakes up and cries until I feed him again. I literally do nothing else! At least its not constant now though. Lol.

Laura I'd definitely get a m&s meal for your anniversary. They are sooo tasty! I hope it is your diet helping alex. If it was, you could look into other stuff you could cut out.

I wonder why kaiden and shaun are being clingy. Its a big change going from mummy's boy to big brother. Thats probably something to do with it.

I have no idea what to get ryan for father's day. I'll need to get my thinkin cap on!

 

[lj2245]

I'll get an M&S meal if they have things that don't include dairy and soya lol!!

How's Lewis at night now?

 

[bbymc]

Aww Laura. Big hugs! (I never saw those replies when I first wrote). I really hope you get new meds that work better. It must be tough. Hats off to you though, you seem to be coping well with all of it. I'm sure you will find something that helps eventually.

Lewis is ok at night now. Weirdly he now seems to know, once he's changed into a sleep suit and fed he falls asleep straight away and that's usually him for between 4-6 hours. Then he wakes after 3 hours again and but barely wakes up, just sleepily feeds then goes right back down no problem. Very odd considering evening was when he was unbearable the other week.

 

[bbymc]

How was Alex's 6 week check? Xx

 

[lj2245]

Good and not so good. It was a very nice male doctor and he was concerned about the hernia and vomiting enough to refer him urgently to a paediatrician but dismissed any notion I had about allergies as soon as he realised I was bf

Alex is now 13lbs. He's also 59cm so totally in proportion.

He won't change his meds as he said it's best to let the paed do that. I guess I agree, I just hope it doesn't take long to get an appt. Esp as the doc doesn't want to see him for another 2 weeks.

How are you guys doing?

 

[bbymc]

Well a referral is definitely a good thing. I've noticed that docs do dismiss stuff a fair bit as soon as you say youre bf. I had the same with Lewis when I queried something. Fingers crossed it doesn't take long to get an appt. if its marked as urgent though it might not be long. I was urgently referred to the dermatology dept once and was seen within 3 weeks which is very quick for the NHS lol.

I'm good. Lewis is having a great day. Eating, pooping, burping and sleeping its the first day I've been myself and I've had time to do stuff and not just have Lewis in my arms all the time.

I've finally managed to look into conservatory companies as we are pricing up getting one built at the back of our house. Got my friend coming tomorrow morning to discuss what we what. She's an architect so she'll draw up plans and stuff for us. We have a limited budget though so I'm hoping we can afford what we would like!

 

[Kaybee]

don't know what happened but half way through my reply and it disappeared. Annoying!

Laura hope you get a paed appt through for Alex quick.

Kaiden didn't stay at nursery yesterday as he wouldn't let Dave leave him. I took him today to see if a change would help and it didn't really although he did stay but was upset at me leaving. I don't know what to do about it. Dave away to pick him up now. Hope he wasnt upset too long. We are going to a birthday party this avo so hopefully he will enjoy it.

 

[lj2245]

Poor Kaiden Has he not said anything that would give you an indication of what's wrong? Maybe he just doesn't want to be away from his wee brother

 

[bbymc]

Maybe you should speak to the nursery staff? Maybe something is going on at nursery?

 

[Kaybee]

He hasn't said anything and yesterday when he got home he said he wanted to go back to school. When Dave was there yesterday he was speaking to the teacher and she said it was really unlike him as well. This morning when I dropped him off I said I thought we would try a change of tactics with me taking him and she said good idea so we are all at a loss. They never said anything when Dave collected him so I guess he settled quick after I left him. Its very odd.

 

[lj2245]

Maybe it's just a wee phase. Shaun was never clingy and was always happy to go to nursery but he did have a few weeks where he was crying when I left him!

 

[Kaybee]

Really! That makes me feel a bit better. His wee pal should be back Monday so hoping that will help. Its school sports day tomorrow afternoon. He has been going on about it for weeks. Fingers crossed he runs in the race this time. Last year the playgroup had a race at the school sports day and he got to the start line, ran abut 6 steps and stopped to pick daisy's

 

[lj2245]

That's brilliant

I never did find out what was wrong with Shaun but I just had to persevere and leave him each day. It didn't last long.

 

[Kaybee]

It was super cute...and funny

Its hard leaving them when they are upset.

How are all the babies?
