Any Scottish April 2013 babies out there??

[Kaybee]

Arlene. Hope you are able to have a nice meal tonight.

Well my boss' secretary phoned a wee while ago. He did get my email & sent it to HR & is expecting a reply today. Hopefully should hear something later.

I need to check when the drop in clinic is for getting Dylan weighed today.

 

[arlene]

Thanks girls. Did anyone see that stupid woman on This Morning saying she wouldn't let her kids be friends with another kid because of their name?? Extremely snotty and stuck up!! Xx

 

[lj2245]

Nah but she's always saying stuff like that. She was in the papers saying the same thing earlier in the year and is always saying controversial things like 'big isn't beautiful' to provoke a reaction. She's not worth listening to really.

 

[Kaybee]

I didn't see it but I am sure I read something like that a while ago. What a stupid fool. Some folk really will do/say anything for attention. Poor kids

Hi girls.
I hope you had a nice meal tonight Arlene and that today wasnt too hard for you. We lost my nana last year and its her birthday next week. She never got to know about lewis eitger so I understand how you feel.

Lewis and I are up the caravan this week. Poor ryan is at home working any spare minute he gets. Poor guy. We went onto Perth shopping today. The weather was glorious!

Lewis' sleeping is still not great. I'm praying something changes soon. Im a total zombie atm!

 

[lj2245]

He usually sleeps so well in the caravan too wonder what's going on. Growth spurt maybe?

For once I am the one enjoying a baby who sleeps well! My wee Alex has been doing 8-4am (with 11pm dream feed when I go to bed) and then 4:30-8/9 recently. I know how quickly it changes though so I'm just enjoying it while it lasts. It's strange now he's in a cot and not lying next to me!! I miss cuddling up with him lol!

Were off to Edinburgh tomorrow to visit Stephens dad then Stephens mum is coming tomorrow night for dinner and a sleepover with Shaun. They are going to watch Harry potter movies in Shaun's bunk beds.

 

[bbymc]

Awww that's sweet. She realky seems to have totally changed eh. Myst be lovely for Stephen to see you two getting on! Lol.

You're so lucky with alex's sleeping! Lewis seems to be getting worse. Its actually depressing cos he has gone backwards so badly. It all started when his nose got blocked again and he has definitely had a growth spurt. But now he seems to be getting terrible trapped wind. Initially he sleeps ok so I'll get 5 hours or so bit then im lucky if I get 2 hours now. Ots such a shame cos he can barely keep his wee eyes open when he does wake up. He's obviously getting such a crap short sleep that he is exhausted, even in the morning. I totally duno what to do. I have his matteress tilted, I clear his nose with the sucky thing, I put vapoyr rub on his cheat and albus oil on his vest during the night to refresh it, I use the saline spray and even those crystal things for his wind. I thought maybe he is getting overfull at feeds too but supposedly you cant overfeed a bf baby. Not sure I believe that! So im trying everything but nothing is working. Im exhausted. So is he. :-/

 

[lj2245]

Have you been eating or drinking anything new?

 

[bbymc]

No. I've wracked my brains to think of something but there is nothing I can think of. I had stopped the gaviscon but im gona use it again as he's suffering again. It had gone but this morning I fed him less cos he seemed so sore and windy and it took an hour and a half for him to stop crying out in pain and being really sick. In the end he was just whimpering with his eyes half shut, totally exhaused. We had only just got up. It's heartbreaking cos when hes not in pain he is so smiley and happy. :-/

 

[bbymc]

Hmmm. I did drink a lot of orange juice yesterday actually. That probably had some effect

 

[lj2245]

Yes definitely! I can't have any acidic fruit as it makes Alex's heartburn really bad!

 

[bbymc]

I also had loads of strawberries actually. And curry. Damn it! How long does it take for alex to go back to normal?

 

[arlene]

Emma I hope Lewis is better soon! Hopefully you can eliminate the foods you ate yesterday.

James has a poop for the first time in 3 days this morning. Oh lordy, the smell!! Lol. He has a rash on his tummy too but I've done the glass test and it disappears under pressure. I think it's maybeca heat rash cos I've woken up sweating the last couple of nights and I've been putting him in a sleepsuit and sleep bag at night. xx

 

[bbymc]

Yeah it could be. I was doing that too but our baby monitor says it was 25 degrees in he room so last night he just slept in a vest. Lol.

Must be a bottle fed baby thing, his not pooping for days. It's quite common I think. Lewis poops for Scotland lol.

 

[arlene]

I don't think it's the formula, he normally goes every day - day and a half.

I'll need to get thw nursery thermometer and put it in the bedroom, see if I just need to put him in a vest rather than a sleepsuit xx

 

[lj2245]

Alex recovers quite quickly. Definitely by the next day.

If James has been toasty he'll have sweated more, causing the rash and lack of poop lol

 

[bbymc]

Aw yeah. Never thought about that causing constipation.

Doesnt seem like lewis is much better. Less sick but still in pain. Poor soul x

 

[arlene]

Didn't think the heat would cause constipation either! Lol xx

 

[bbymc]

How is james now? Better?

It's been pretty quiet on here!

What happened with the ebay situation laura? Any word?

Lewis and I are doing fine. He's sleeping in just a vest again tonight and he looks like a wee Buddha! Lol x

 

[lj2245]

Is he still waking every 2 hours?

I put Alex in his cot at 9pm for the first time. It's been nice to have a few hours to myself Stephen's mum is staying the weekend so I can get some decorating done. I managed to chop down a tree in the front garden and have stripped some wallpaper in the hall. I think I have broken my finger though!

Nothing on the Ebay thing so I'm hoping it wasn't a scam.

I've had to move Alex up to 6-9 month clothes
