Aww Ben's too tall for all the settings!!

Ste has got Ben's sickness bug! He's been throwing up for the last 10 minutes

 

[Euronova]

I hate vomiting bugs

Jess- how come is Lili so little? Is it because she was premature?

Got to work all day tomorrow then I have to go teach French in the evening... Will be so tired!

Suz- any update on your scan date? Are you feeling sick?

 

[Onelildream]

Jess-Lili is super cute! xoxo

Jess that is darling/ I love lillers!

awww, love that vid Jess! (still wish I could see Samuel )

My stash is still in the freezer here, but its actually getting pretty old now. I'm still donating some tomorrow. I'm not too worried yet about getting my supply up. I think I need to double-pump in the evenings before bed and not just do one breast at a time. I'm going to try that and oatmeal for a little while.

I also realized that I am used to having a bit of a buffer of extra milk from the day before but when we went on our trip I froze everything I pumped and so I started with nothing leftover.

I think the biggest things hurting my supply is not double pumping on the weekends, not pumping after his first feed in the mornings on the weekend etc. I only pumped once the whole trip and I think that diminished my supply a bit too. (don't remember if I told you girls how Daniel refused to nurse for about 13 hours? He screamed if I tried to nurse him at all, didn't act hungry or anything... so I ended up pumping, giving him a bottle then after that he nursed just fine.. it was totally weird!)

V, there are several theories about why Lili is small. Clomid babies can be smaller than average. Add to that the daily injections of heparin and aspirin, mix in a little stress and low progesterone. Plus I was on thyroid suppressants. And she was early and was so jaundice that she wouldn't bF or bottle feed. Also out family aren't blessed in the height department!!

 

[Peach Blossom]

Lisa, don't stress about the pumping. is it very important for you that Daniel continues to have BM? I desperately wanted Lili to have BM until a year old. But I had to give up because of the drugs, but it is a very liberating thing.

 

[Euronova]

Aww bless, I didn't know about clomid babies. Best things come in small packages! She is so cute and seems really happy on the video so that's all that matters.
Freaked out this morning, I woke up not feeling pregnant at all, flat stomach, and just no feeling of fullness down there! No urge to pee!
Really got worried but then I feel pretty shit and tired now so I guess all is ok.
That 12 weeks scan can't come soon enough now!

 

[SBB]

Lili is so cute! Sammuel chats away like she is in the video too!

She's the tiny exception, most of our babies have been pretty big and broke the small clomid baby rule! The boys anyway... Actually pearl was big too, almost 10lbs wasn't she!

V I feel awful!!! So sick! Glad you're feeling rough again it is worrying when you feel fine

Sammuel has now got a bit of a rash so I'm taking him back to the doctors this afternoon, I have to phone at 2 for an emergency appt though

[Euronova]

Oh dear... Rash doesn't sound good! I hope it's nothing serious!
So so tired today. Worked an extra 3 hours yesterday so hoping to be able to leave early today...
I think I might order a Doppler today... Getting too worried all the time especially now the sickness seems to come and go.

 

[SBB]

You're nearing 2nd tri so hopefully the sickness is just on it's way out!

Dopplers are great though!

Lou did I read that ste is sick too? How are they both today?

oh and bit of a rant but i sent chloes birth certificate off with the application form for child benefit nearly 2 weeks ago and they still haven't received it. Surely it should have been there by now. I just rang them and they said i need to call back when its been 21 days and take it from there. It takes the P**s. I dont need the money but i need her birth certificate back so i can go and open her a savings account.

 

[babyloulou]

Morning girls. I've got the lurgy now too Ste was up all night throwing up, Ben threw up twice in the night all over my bed and now I'm throwing up this morning while Ste and Ben have moved on to awful diarrhoea

Laura- sorry you're feeling blue- I hope it passes quick for you xxx

 

[babyloulou]

Suz- definitely get him in ASAP to get a rash checked xxx

 

[Peach Blossom]

Lou, sorry you are all ill.

Laura, sorry you have the baby blues... And very annoying about the birth certificate.

 

[SBB]

Oh no lou argh I hope you're all better soon

Laura I'm sorry you're feeling down, just try and remember it's normal and it passed quicky last time

I don't think the rash is anything bad, it fades when I press it... But I'll take him in anyway seeing as he's no better.

[Peach Blossom]

[SBB]

Ben's nappies have been quite dry for the last couple of days too Suz- I think I might ring the docs too
