I was trying to type tiny url . Com.... But it starred it out

I'm basically having to do a full time job in 3 days a week... I'm so silly busy it's crazy! I will be on more when it calms down a bit a work though.... Still love you all though!!!

I go to hong kong next Tuesday!! Eek!!! The disposable bottles I use are nowhere to be found though.... I need them for the plane and out and about in HK...

I had a pre surgery appt today.... I have to delay the surgery cos my thyroid isn't under control.... In fact, despite being on meds my levels have gone up! Doc has upped my drug dose by 4 times the amount!!! I have to stop pumping too as Lili can't have the milk with that much of the drug in it... I feel so wierd about stopping expressing.... I know people do it all the time, just feels wierd.... I also don't get formula.... You have to make it with boiling water, but what about when you're out and about? Can't compute!!!

Lou, I'm so sorry Ben isn't sleeping. my SIL had the same issues... I'm afraid to report that she still struggles 3 years on.... I'm sure Ben will get it though.... Have you thought of trying cranial for him again? Xxx

Jess- I take a thermos with hot water everywhere. Easy for making bottles on the go. Sorry you have to stop pumping. That sucks.

So my night last night was CRAP! I got a few free formulas from the pediatrician and was trying them out, BEFORE my MIL was here and tried them...you know, I just wanted to make sure Connor was ok with them...Well, TURNS OUT HE'S NOT! He was so allergic to the one I gave him yesterday he broke out in a rash and SCREAMED all night long. Seriously SCREAMED. I held him and rocked him all night....laid in his crib (haha, I know, right!) and even caught myself fall asleep a few times, while holding him, as he was screaming. I just felt horrible for him. He's better now...and the rash has gone down...but he was seriously trying to get out of his body, or turn himself inside out! It was like watching the Poltergeist.

Now I know how Lou feels. I. about. died.

Ha! Come back and say that to me after 8 and a half months of it night after night and I might have sympathy for you!!!!

Seriously though- I hope Connor's ok today

Jess- I think like Chell says you have to cart all the stuff with you. Sorry you have to stop pumping

Is the new medication temporary? Could you keep pumping and dumping until you can breastfeed again? Bummer either way
I think if you boil and cool the water, you can take bottles with boiled and cooled water around with you... then to warm up, you just stick the bottle in a cup of hot water to bring the temp up (without contaminating the water inside).
I think the water and bottles stay sterile for 24 hours? We don't have such strict sterilizing rules here so I don't know for sure.

Chell - that sounds so horrible Poor connor! Glad he's feeling better. Fear of stuff like that happening is one reason I've been sticking so stubbornly to BFing

 

[Peach Blossom]

Aw, poor Connor

I have to take the higher dose for a minimum of a month... Then I go in to hospital... So it's probably the end of my milking...

 

[babyloulou]

Ben went to bed at 8 and in the last two hours has been up 7 times already!!

 

[babyloulou]

She's had 9 months of it Jess! That's brilliant!!

 

[lisaf]

Can you nurse after the surgery?

 

[Peach Blossom]

Aw Lou xx

I will be on another type of medication after the surgery, which isn't recommended whilst breastfeeding... Stupid body!

 

[lisaf]

aw sorry Jess! I know I'd be in tears if I had to stop now... I fought so hard to keep going this long and only now am starting to enjoy it.

I understand about hating your body letting you down. My stupid sleep disorder has given me so many hurdles and tough choices to make with medications and pregnancy/nursing.

 

[Onelildream]

Ok, Stupid question, I know, but how can I "FOLLOW" this thread? Like, can I pick up where I left off reading last? I always go to the last thing I typed and read from there, but there has GOT to be an easier way...

 

[babyloulou]

Click on User CP at the top Chell. It tells you if there've been any new posts on the thread x

Come on boys let's get these teeth through!!! S is on his 4th wakeup tonight and no naps today he always naps! He went down for 2 but woke after 5 mins!

Lisa yep bamboo is more absorbant, but slower, so some peopleput MF on top. I find bamboo is fine though in one of my night nappies it's just bamboo and no leaks. Not sure about hemp, I have a few, think it's just similar to bamboo?

Jess that sucks! What if you don't up the meds? I don't really get the whole thyroid thing! You've done brilliantly though so dont beat yourself up

My fil went to have his finger sorted today, they told him to come in at 7.30am, they saw him at 5.30pm. Wtf?! Poor guy was waiting all day, alone. Anyway it's kind of fixed. The boot basically went through his finger and bone the boot actually shut too, didn't bounce back up... Horrible
I feel like I don't want anyone taking sammuel off now! What if something happened and I wasnt there to comfort him. I will be keeping him with me for a while now...

Sorry chell forgot to reply to you! Poor Connor I hope he's all better...

User cp doesn't let you pick up where you stopped reading though. The only way you can do it, is just leave the page open and refresh. Or that's the only way I know of! I just go to user cp usually though and go find the page I was on...

When you're on the user cp there is a tiny downward facing triangle just before each thread name- if you click that it takes you to your last unread post xx

 

[SBB]

Does it?!

I'll admit I was relying on hitting the 'view first unread' at the top... until there was a weird glitch where it stopped working.. but hitting that little purple arrow/triangle on the User CP still worked... which is when I discovered that fun fact.

 

[SBB]

Seriously that arrow could have saved me precious minutes had I kn
