Moms of April/May/June 2010 babies thread! :)

[maybebaby3]

aww amy i'm like you, i'd have preferred surgery straight away. crooked noses can lead to sinus problems. i hope you get it sorted today

 

[A3my]

Thanks maybe, the GP took my concerns seriously even though he couldnt tell (Alex hates people touching/looking at his nose now and shakes his head so you cant see ) and we've got an appt for the ENT fracture clinic tomorrow. As for the chicken pox - no sign of any spots! he does have a rash but I think its from the MMR so maybe thats what caused the temperature too! Oh and I loved all your fb pics - it looks like you have a great life out there, your children are always so happy its lovely! and you look so slim! I feel like a right fatty at the moment, I 've started running again but my stomach has a blobby mind of its own

hope everyone else is ok

Amy - I hope things go well at the fracture clinic, glad the doc took you seriously! I'm feeling sooo fat, i can't believe i haven't gained any actual weight yet, because i feel like a balloon! I can't hold my tummy in anymore, well i can but it doesn't help, so i have a big wobbley belly that i can't suck in I went and bought some really loose plus size tops the other day, they are like tents, but pretty material, so they cover everything and make me feel better, who cares what they actually look like!

Maybe - I love the fb piccies! The beach ones make me very jealous!

Argh, OH cooked him and Roh some rice today that had been in the fridge for ages and i'd forgotten to throw away, really hoping they don't get sick, i'll feel awful

Can't believe i cancelled Roh's jabs for the erm 4th (possibly 5th) time today I am just not willing to take him unless he's totally healthy, and he's still all chesty from last weeks cold. I've booked him in again for the 15th. I've decided to delay the MMR though until after christmas, i think its all too much at once, and so i want them alot more spread out. I want him to get his boosters though, its like he knows its coming and gets ill just before

I've got my dating scan booked for the 15th too! It really seems an age away. I'm in that silly phase, where even though i have symptoms, i'm still fully expecting there to be nothing there at the scan and they'll tell me i'm mental!

 

[A3my]

emera - I love baggy tops, I cant stand tight clothes. I'm past caring what I look like really, unless I look closely anyway, you shouldnt worry, you're growing a baby the 15th isnt that far off! very exciting !

I think you're doing the right thing by Roh for his jabs, I cancelled Alex's three times as he wasnt right. Emily didnt have hers until she was 18 months for the same reason

 

[maybebaby3]

amy - hope all goes well at the fracture clinic today! my tummy hasnt recovered from the 3rd pregnancy, i feel much nicer in clothes than my bikini! even erin says i have a fat tummy

emera - as amy says you're growing a baby!!! i'd delay the jabs too!

 

[A3my]

well... I saw the consultant at the clinic - he said the cartilage had broken away from the bone and shifted to the left as I thought but his breathing isnt affected so they wouldnt operate but then he pressed on it and said "there we are I've pushed it back!" - he clearly hadnt though, it looks the same. then he said he'll always have a bump but it doesnt matter becasue he's a boy it matters to me!!! i came away wondering if he really did think he'd moved it or if he told me that to shut me up or something as it looks the same

Alex has been so grumpy today, well all week. I dont know if its after effects from the MMR or what but its starting to get a bit draining!!!

 

[maybebaby3]

that's awful. can you go to a private doctor? when i had sinus problems i had to go private as the GHA (equivalent of NHS) was rubbish?

 

[maybebaby3]

and what was the dr saying if Alex was a girl they'd operate

 

[Mork]

Oh dear Amy - thats rubbish! As for him being grouchy today, it probably is the mmr, we had a nightmare 3 weeks following t's with day ten being almost unbearable as she would not be left alone for a second! Of course I dont wish this on Alex or you, but just to warn you as several of the other babies in our group were the same - oh and also they went off their food. Hugs hugs hugs xxx

 

[maybebaby3]

i am pleased to report slight progress on the sleep front he goes to sleep on his own, he does whige/cry a bit but each day seems a bit less. when he wakes i pffer water as it's hot here and then leave him to it or if i am in the bedroom i say 'shh' but i dont pick him up or pat him. yesterday he went to sleep at 8pm, woke at 9, whinged for a bit and then slept til 4 and then til 7am tonight he went to sleep past 9pm but was in his cot at 8.30. we will see how it goes. only problem is that MIL is coming to babysit on friday as i'm going to an Ann Summers party and i know she won't let him cry at all so i hope she doesnt make it all go to pot!

 

[modo]

Bobby woke up at 2am last night and wouldn't got back to sleep till 5.30am :doh: but he did sleep till 9am so at least we all got a bit of extra sleep. Hope it doesn't happen tonight He has been drooling like a fiend and has had a temp

Emera: I am delaying the MMR as well until Bobby is 16 months. Delaying his boosters is a good idea as well until he feels better.

 

[maybebaby3]

modo - hope bobby sleeps for you and gets better!

 

[A3my]

maybe - I checked who I could see privately in this area and it would be the same bloomin doctor I'm going to see how Alex goes and how it looks as his nose develops. He said it was character building for a boy to have a wonky nose he was just a pompous %*&^% but I guess the main thing is at the moment Alex can breathe normally.
well done with the sleep, thats fantastic progress!! Would your MIL listen if you explained how its benefitting to him to cry a little as it means he gets a better nights sleep?

Mork - I remembered you saying T was bad after her MMR, I really appreciate you reminding me as I wondered if I was going mad He's just so angry all the time and he's clingy but then doesnt really want me either and he's off his food too. It made me cry today because my loving happy little boy has morphed into an angry, miserable little lad and I couldnt think why. We're on day 12 now, I hope it gets better soon!

Modo - poor you, you must be shattered has he got more teeth coming through? I hope he sleeps better tonight

I went for a run tonight, it was good to clear my head for a bit! Then I came back and ate some chocolates

 

[maybebaby3]

amy - thats rubbish that there's no other doctor can you go further afield? character building what an arsehole

well drumroll.............................owen slept through the night for the 1st time ever!!!!! 9pm-7am bet it was a fluke tho

 

[maybebaby3]

and i kept waking up to check he was ok!

 

[Mork]

Way to go Owen!! So hope it wasn't a fluke maybe xx
Amy-hugs, I remember being so upset when t was the mmr Minster too hugs to you-you are nearly through! Xx

 

[muddles]

Hi everyone :wave:

Wow Maybe that's great! I hope he does it again for you tonight too.

I need to read back through and catch up with all your news. Hope everyone is well.

 

[A3my]

maybe absolutely fantastic! well done Owen at least you know he can do it now

mork - thanks so much! you give me hope! He's still a grumpy moo today

muddles - :wave: lovely to see you, how's life in the new house? x

 

[muddles]

Hi Amy our new house is lovely, though still not done yet as keep finding more things that need doing. Today i had to phone my OH to come home from work and help me get back in as the door mechanism wasn't working properly so unlocked the door but it still wouldn't open! Just read about Alex's nose how is he doing?

 

[maybebaby3]

well owen's good sleep tuesday night was a fluke last night he woke 8 times and decided it was time to get up for the day at 6.45am am exhausted and disheartened
