Oh and to see all the different types try the little possums website. I started there and they offer advice as to what style would suit your requirements too. I did buy elsewhere though!

 

[Ozzieshunni]

Looooooooooong update in my journal. Needless to say, this has been a very exhausting day with little to show for it. I wanna curl up in bed and cry. Baby Alex is fine though and I'm thankful for that.

 

[NOMORENUMBERS]

Thanks for the tips ladies!

I think it prob is the price lol and looks a bit fiddly but everyone i have seen that have written reviews for the moby dont see it a problem after a couple of goes . . . i like the idea of wearing it in the car and slipping baby in when you get out

i'll take a better look at them, i didnt need this with leo at all but it seems like a lot of juggling, and wouldnt be comfortable leaving them all the time in the swing i am being lent . . .

 

[NOMORENUMBERS]

aw ozzie sounds like a complete nightmare! i had issues getting iv thingys in my hand when i was having leo, i had one in each hand, both into the vein but she put the so low down that when the consultant came round to see me a few hours later he demanded to know who put them in and said this lady isnt going to be able to bend her hands for days they are going to be so bruised and painful! move them! . . .great! lol

i cant imagine how pee'd off you must have been to see that ticket that would have defo been the last straw for me! major strop followed by "i am NOT cooking dinner"

 

[Ozzieshunni]

Tell me about it! Luckily, we probably won't have to pay it because it wasn't our fault that we were late. I just want to cry. I mean, it feels like one thing after another.

 

[NOMORENUMBERS]

i would feel that way too! some days or weeks are just like that i get through it by thinking right this week or this day has been total crap . . . tomorrow/next week will be a fantastic week in comparison! and for you it will be little alex being here!

for me it is always the it was only supposed to be a 5 minute job which turns into a 4 hour disaster zone lol last night it was after visiting my sisters really nice bathroom mutliple times during a visit i decided that my public mans toilet style bathroom wouldnt do lets paint it! 3 coats of one coat white paint later - and might i add the nasty colour underneath is still showing through - i have decided i need to paint it another colour again because it shows up that the lino on the floor is not white it is now brown cream and even bleach has only shifted half the dinge . . . so now looking at bathroom colours, matching curtains, bath mats etc as well as thinking hmmm half hour jon of painting ONE wall is now a full on redecoration job including dingy gloss work . . .

 

[pinkclaire]

I'm off to look Ozzie

Nomore I have a Kari-me, I havent used it yet but I will let you know! I have/had carriers with James and found them really useful.

 

[Sofiekirsten]

Off to have a look Ozzie!

I have to say Madly is a god send!!

I sent DH out to a different Argos to pick up the baby soother and it has worked!

Jake is alseep in his moses basket! And has been since 7pm! got to wake him up in a minute to stimulate him for half an hour (HV advice to help him sleep later) and then he can have his feed at 9pm....

Also my parenting journal is in my siggy if anyone wants a peek...Only put my birth story in there so will update it asap

 

[molly85]

oh will have to try that with abby, I need my 3 hours in a row shes slept all day in the wrap.

 

[NOMORENUMBERS]

totally off topic but they are having the weekly quiz downstairs and there is a what are the next lyrics part to it . . . they just played craig david 7 days! i absolutely loved him!!! went ot see him in concert at a local place in reading! was a really small venue was so cool! reminds me of when i could bend down to pick something off the floor without going grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaugh i'm up i'm ok! lol

 

[madcatwoman]

morning all...

wow bailey woke for just one feed last night it was fantastic.
we also managed to control the evenings colic, was still there but not so bad.

 

[Sofiekirsten]

Madcat for a good night!

Same sort of story over here Jake slept straight through for the first time last night and only woke up at 1am and 5am for feeds and he is still asleep now!

He is due his feed at 10 so he should be waking up soon...

The baby soother definatley works a treat! Thanks Madly!

 

[gilz82]

Wow sounds like you both had good nights Cat and SK

Noah was slightly more settled last night, so thought things were getting better but has screamed since I fed him at 9am so I don't know. Maybe it's just a case of little steps in the right direction. The paediatrician has said it could take a while for the new medication to help repair the damage the reflux had already done.

Meant to say Madly I'll look at different bottles and see if they help but Noah definitely has reflux they tested the ph of his sick and the acid levels were sky high I really wish he'd let me massage him as that is really supposed to help in combination with the medication. oh how did Charlie's weigh in go yesterday did I miss an update?

How is everyone else doing?

 

[Ozzieshunni]

Sore, fed up, cranky.

 

[NOMORENUMBERS]

aw ozzie! i could have used those three words to describe me yesterday xkx roll on friday! xkx

afm feeling alright today! it is dh's only day off today so gave him a lay in, coffee in bed, fry up, washed up while he does the rotas with no complaint from me then the plan is for the rest of the day make him do everything lol lol lol and it will be his idea! no no no honey you made breakfast! no no honey you did the washing up "insert evil laugh here" i might even get a back rub out of this!

 

[Ozzieshunni]

I can't wait for next Friday! Ugh, you should see my two hands and arm! They are still swollen. Butchers!

 

[molly85]

officially switched to pumping and bottle with the offer of boob here. yesterday evening abby just wasn't latching andbecame very frustrated. i tried every trick in the book nothing worked so had to get her a bottle which she took over half an hour after the sick from before. she slept for over3 hours andgenerally seemed happier. so i plan to pump 4 times a day always offer boob and other wise give her formula. i'm taking her to be weighed this afternoon to see how well we did on just boob really . minorly concerned i have had to wake her to feed her twice this morning but will discuss with health visitor when we go get weighed. she slept from 11.30 til just after 3 then from 4 til being woken at 7

 

[pinkclaire]

Well done Molly you've done so well! You have to do what works for you.

We had a better night, James slept, lottie fed every three hours with half hour feeds ish, so had a bit of sleep!

I'm considering having a short dog walk, is that madness?

 

[sequeena]

Sounds like things are on the up ladies

I am absolutely exhausted physically and mentally from everything that's gone on and I've got a bloody coldsore. I've not had one of those for years!! Going to try and relax today unless some other problem comes up!

 

[Ozzieshunni]

Good idea to relax Sequeena. I'm doing the same until I have to go watch my niece do trampolining. My legs are so sore.
