im an emotional wreck today fed up

oh hun I remember feeling like that I even unpacked my hospital bag I was so over it all which was fun when labour did start and I had to repack it.
fx it wont be much longer for you any chance you can get some pampering to help make you feel better

 

[Angelmarie]

Really hope baby gets here soon, baby hopes! You must be feeling pretty down. I agree with Celtic- think you should pamper yourself- try to distract yourself even if it is temporarily!

Sorry about the breast feeding issues, Scottish! But Hama is doing great! Weight gain is fab! Try not to worry. Sometimes a good cry does some good though

Big hugs to the US moms who have to go back to work soon. In that regard, we do have it good over here. I never forget how lucky I am to not have to go to work. We discussed it and have agreed that I will go back once all the kids are in school. Even though its a long way off, I'm still dreading it.

Amelie had her repeat heel prick test yesterday so it's just wait and see now. Hope they're quick. What a worry.

On a plus point Amelie now smiles and for the past three nights has slept between 6-7 hours in a stretch, woken, fed then slept for another 3-4! That seems to be her new bedtime routine!

She is now 8lb 13oz and I also have lost 3/4 of a stone off my pre pregnancy weight!

Angel, smile and sleep - amazing! Lena still doesn't sleep more than 3 hours. And there was just one smile (at list my DH claims it). Hope you don't have to wait much longer and the news a good.

 

[Sooz]

Massive sleep envy over here!
Hope the heel prick is back soon. Mason had his repeated as the lab rejected his original sample.

Lena finally agreed to sleep at 2 am yesterday

 

[JolleyGirl86]

I am also jealous of everyone getting sleep! I saw a funny post by someone on another site that said you know you're sleep deprived if you feel angry when you look at the picture of Elmo sleeping on your baby's diaper and wish you could be sleeping too I totally feel like that when I see pictures of people or animals sleeping. I've also got a permanent headache from no sleep and some serious bags under my eyes...not only do I feel like a zombie I'm starting to look and act like one too!

 

[mac1979]

Jolley-as long as you aren't eating brains like a zombie it is normal.

Raptor has just started to spit up when he strains to poop. Anybody know if this is normal or if it is a sign of constipation or reflux. I would feel silly calling for an appt with ,my pediatrician if it is normal. He always seems hungry right after too so I don't think he is sick...

 

[more babies]

Mac are you able to just call and talk to someone without making an appointment?

 

[CelticNiamh]

home at last sleep envy here too but hey it wont be long before we are all getting plenty of sleep

Ryan had his blood test and his levels are 191 so 300 is when they start phototherapy, we have to bring him back next friday for a repeat blood test not looking forward to that they weighed him as well he is 7 pounds 14 yay an onz away from his birth weight happy out with that

When we were there a 5 week old baby came in,in an ambulance the mum said she had some sort of fit and stopped breathing, they were feeding her at the time so the nurses thought may be she took milk the wrong way, but the guys in the ambulance told a diffierent story they reported that she was after being shook the doctor was taking blood from Ryan and asked were the mum was, she left her baby alone to go out for a smoke! nothing wrong with needing a smoke! but I was a little shocked she left her baby alone, her hubby was gone to get paper work as they were admitting the baby! I would have waited till he was back personally, felt so sorry for the wee little thing all alone in a cot in a hall she had blood on her as well , the police and a social worker were called so I say more will happen there! so sad

 

[onebumpplease]

Celtic, that's so upsetting!

 

[CelticNiamh]

Celtic, that's so upsetting!

it was, so glad they could do something about it though the baby was doing ok while we were there thankfully some people do not know how blessed they are

 

[onebumpplease]

No, I have had a few dark/stresseful moments over last three weeks, but can't even nearly imagine wanting to shake Rowan. It is more upsetting when you know how difficult some people find conceiving those poor wee babies deserve so much more! Sorry, just rambling now..

 

[pola17]

Celtic: what a horrible story! So sad for this baby!
