Any Scottish April 2013 babies out there??

[Kaybee]

Laura and Alex. You are having such a rough time. Did Stephen manage to see about getting some time off?

 

[lj2245]

No he won't see his line manager until Weds

 

[lj2245]

I'm going to go to the docs tomorrow and beg them for hypoallergenic formula. I'll try him on that and see how he does. I will happily give up BF if it helps him.

 

[Kaybee]

Surely you will get some to try.

 

[lj2245]

I hope so.

I feel so selfish.....I really don't want to give up bf

 

[bbymc]

Awww Laura!! I suppose the bright side is that it looks like you know one thing that could be aggravating it. Hypoallergenic formula sounds like a great idea. Maybe the hospital could do a spot allergy test on Alex?

That's crap you've been ill Karen. I hope it clears up quick for you. It can't be fun looking after the boys when you feel crappy

photos are on facebook girls. It's an album on my brothers page that I've been tagged in xx

 

[lj2245]

Got an appt at 10:40. Wish me luck!

 

[arlene]

good luck laura! xx

 

[Kaybee]

Good luck Laura. You are not being selfish at all!

My ear is so sore I cried this morning

 

[lj2245]

Can you not get something stronger for the pain? I hate ear pain, I had it every night when I was pregnant as I've got an arthritis that affects cartilage and lying on my side was making it worse.

Arlene, I can't see the photos? Went in your page and they aren't showing. Must be a privacy setting somewhere.

 

[arlene]

Ah, my brothers page is private. I'll get them on my page later today xx

 

[bbymc]

Good luck laura!

Karen, when I was wee I used to get terrible ear infections. One thing that seemed to help was lying with the sore ear on a hot water bottle wrapped in a towel. Maybe you could try that. Xx

 

[Kaybee]

I am taking ibuprofen and paracetemol. If there is no improvement by tomorrow morning am going back to the docs. Ive tried both hot and cold on it its making me feel wobbly and the pain is going down my neck and round the back of my head too. Do you think thats normal for an ear infection?

Kaiden didnt want Dave to leave him at nursery today. They were having an outing to an indian restaurant so hopefully he settled down quick again and enjoyed himself.

Arlene I couldnt see your pics either. Looking forward to seeing them.

How did you get on at docs Laura?

 

[bbymc]

I think I'd definitely head back to the doc karen. It might just be the infection causing the other pain, but I'd get it rechecked.

How'd the doc go Laura?

 

[lj2245]

She said it's definitely an allergy to milk at the least and that she would prefer us to carry on BF as the benefits outweigh any risk of long term allergy. She said she wants me to carry on until 12 weeks with no milk products in my diet and then start eliminating other sources if he's not better by then. I'm happy to do that, I didn't want to give up bf but I didn't want him to suffer unnecessarily.

We went to Edinburgh tonight to have dinner with Stephen's Dad. I had the only thing on the menu that I was allowed - gammon steak and chips! It was nice but I'd rather have had a burger or a steak with pepper sauce lol! Turns out Stephen's Dad had a milk allergy when he was young too. So it runs in the family as Stephen also had it and now Alex. I wish someone had said something weeks ago! No idea about further down the line as my FIL doesn't know his dad as he was adopted.

How did Lewis enjoy his trip to visit Daddy today?

Stephen is doing my nut in tonight. He's got a bee in his bunnet about something and is being a bit of a swine. He's trying to say that I should sleep every time Alex sleeps and when I questioned when the Tesco shopping or housework gets done he said I can do that when he's awake. I then asked when I was supposed to just relax and unwind and he said I can do that in the middle of the night when Alex is awake! Ehhh....very good! Dunno what he's annoyed about but he better hurry up and sort himself out because I'm waiting on an apology lol. The good news is he's always really sorry for being an idiot and doesn't mind admitting it lol!

Karen, is your ear any better? I've only ever had cartilage pain so can't recommend anything, sorry

 

[arlene]

Karen, def go back to the docs. The infection might be causing the wobbliness cos balance is in your ears if you know what I mean but the pain in your neck doesn't sound right.

Laura, hopefully it is just an allergy that Alex will grow out of. Tell Stephen to get a grip too! Lol.

Haven't had the chance to do the photos yet. Went to see john's mum and dad today and spent the afternoon in the garden. My shoulders and chest are now rather pink! Xx

 

[lj2245]

Yeah I've told him he's being a bit of an arse and I don't know what's bothering him but when he snaps out of it I'll be waiting on my apology

 

[bbymc]

Aw laura bet you are glad she recommend keeping bf! It all sounds like good progress in helping alex long term. Not great for you just now but hopefully its the start of getting alex feeling better! Are tgey gina test for other allergies?

Lewis and I had a great day today. He got pretty upset at my aunties later in the day though. He was just over tired but everyone wont leave him alone so he just got more and more stressed out. I felt so sorry for him. I was pissed off aswell cos I was trying to settle him but he was taking a while to calm down and one by one everyone kept wading in and taking him, as if they are gona be able to settle him. I couldnt wait to get home in the end.

So my cousin moved out but she owes us £70 rent. She tried to get us to take it off her deposit before we were able to check for damage. She tried to say there was no damage. Anyway we told her no and have since found out that she has totally broke the bed. I have told her we now need the deposit for a new bed and she is refusing to pay the rest of the rent she owes us! And on top of that, she put her foot in it and without even realising, admitted that she knew the bed was damaged all along. So much for 'no damage' eh!! All we ever did was try to help her out! Rage!!!!!

 

[lj2245]

Ooh what a cow. I'm glad you're shot of her. Doesn't sound like you've much hope of getting the money you're owed. I'd let the family know what she did to you and let them all put pressure on her.
