glammed up might be a little too far lol lol lol not an absolute wreck more like! honestly the photos from last time were baaaaaaaaaad.

 

[tas1]

Lol But it's planned this time so you'll be calmer ish x

 

[NOMORENUMBERS]

its funny despite everything i was so unbelievably calm through out it all last time round - think they call it denial xkx - but i still looked so bad! my hair was so so so long (made the same mistake this time so lobbed it off a ocuple of weeks ago) my hair started falling out almost instantly after leo was out my hair is thick and very very curly naturally so one strand falling out would wrap itself round all the others it was the worst knots i have ever ever had, so i used to comb it scrap it into a pony tail and then hope for the best. . . . it never was though .. . you know . . best lol

 

[NOMORENUMBERS]

aw my poor little boy, he has a really bad cold which has a slight flemy cough to it, well without thinking (he seemed pretty good at this point) dh gave ds a massive glass of milk about 45 mins before bedtime, ever since then he has been flemy coughing in his sleep, so i keep running to check on him poor thing. . .just now i went in and he was dreaming, he sleep talks a little like his daddy, and well today he continued with the slapping so i took his beloved bathtime away from him, his most favourite thing, he just sleep talked, mamma bath, no bath, sos mumma, oh no bath, he was totally asleep! gah feel so guilty! at least i know he got the message that slapping = no bath! he hates my strip washes poor thing hopefully no slapping tomorrow but maaaaan it was so cute i feel so nasty!

 

[tas1]

Aww bless him! Poor little guy! Think they all go through a slapping stage at the minute Caden is going through the talking back stage,I thought it happened in teens but not with him it starts at 3!

Caleb is asleep on me after having his feed and he has just started laughing lol it's so cute I think it's just pushed air or something unless he is dreaming of funny things!

I'm catching up on my biggest loser,makes me not wanna get fat without being pregnant lol! But always makes me cry even when they lose weight and do an emotionally talk about how hard it was lol

Morning all
2 feeds, 3&6am, maybe not that impressive but impressive when you consider he didnt feed all evening properly because of colic,&then fell asleep!

Thanks for your comments re-Bailey&his prefered side to lie on.personally im not worried about it esp as a doc has already looked at him and felt for problems like a knot in his neck etc.he does only lie on his right, and will never turn for long when it comes to looking at your from his left, but he can,he just doesnt choose to.I think it has something to do with how he was laying in the womb.

well,im in the 2 min shower club again.DH is working away for another 2 nights.it seems its going to become more regular too,hes not all that thrilled either.

Morning girls :wave:

Madcat that's brilliant feeds wise given how upset Bailey was last night

Vbaby so sorry about your aunt Glad Teagan is improving even without the carobel.

Glad that Ozzie and Alez are getting home soon.

As for us Noah's reflux is hideous again. I've been up all night since 10pm right through with a screaming baby. It's getting so bad that he's making himself sick again because he's in pain. I can't believe the medication can only work for such a short period before either needing adjusted or just not working at all. Going to phone my gp this morning as he can't have another night like that his whole face and eyes are swollen from all of last nights crying as it is.

Oh Madcat I forgot, in neonatal they told us it's really common for a baby to favour one side of their head over the other. In some babies it even ends up that side of their head ends up a little flatter because of it. But it's totally normal and not to be worried about and apparently as their neck muscles get stronger they hold their heads differently just because they can

Morning Ladies :wave:

NOMORE my Sister announced I was down in delivery on FB saying something like `waiting for news on arrival of my nephew Charlie!` Penple seriously just dont think

Tas men can be right pigs grrrrrrrrrrr

madcat Charlie also has a preferred side infact he like to lie on his side I know hes not `suppose` to but I have often laid him down slightly on his side because he likes it (not for bed though!) only when am here with him and watching him!

Gilz I am so sorry poor little Noah I agree I dont understand why the med only seems to work for a short period we found that with the omeprazole Charlie seemed settled for 12hrs but then kicked off again when its a one a day strong dose for such a little one and should last the full 24hrs I hope your Dr can be of help

Well Charlie went down at 10.30pm and woke at 3.40am and 5.20am both times he went back down .... DH got up with him at 5.20am and around 7am when he woke again he took him downstairs and fed him and put him back in his crib at the side of me sleeping at 8am when he came upstairs to get ready for work I was sleeping all that time we both slept further and then got up around 9am So a really good night

madcat DH is away next week for 3 days so I feel for you am dreading it to be honest after the other week

 

[molly85]

hugs gilz, hope the doc can do something for the poor wee man and you get some sleep.

i feel like a bad mummy i will happily put her on her side thet did it in the hospital so if its good enough for them its good enough for me.

she must have woken 4 times over night but i went withher sleeping pattern between 10 and 10 and i'm not that tierd. god knows how i would do that with her and another baby lol

tas are you hypothyroid? if so snap. i am still on pregnancy dose of meds hence loosing weight so quick. thank you consultant I will be having my next bloods on thursday

 

[tas1]

I've had a stressful morning so I think I'm either coming on or my thyroid is coming back as I keep snapping! Caden is just not listening to me and ive been up since 6am and i went to bed late so I'm tired! We went to a country house for a walk so caden went on his bike and we went to the park there,I only went there because I thought the cafe would be open so I could feed caleb and it didn't open til half 10 so had to feed him in the park then caden needed a poo so I had to let him poo in a nappy bag coz I thought the toilets were in the cafe but in fact they have outside toilets lol so glad we was the only ones there,can't believe I let him poo in a nappy bag lol lol then calen had a poo so I changed him in his pram! And to top my morning off my car insurance is running out tomorrow so i spent last week trying to get a cheaper quote so rang my current insurer to see what they could do but it's still hundred quid more than last year I just don't think we can afford it so j have to decided if we need my car but it's the big family car but my OH is a selfish git so he won't put his car off the road plus my car is new and still has finance on it so I'll still be paying for it but not driving it! Why is life so difficult!

Best go do a feed and see what I can sort out xx

 

[tas1]

Oh Molly I have the fat thyroid lol they said it might not last long coz I'm young and it totally went away in pregnancy but I think it's returning gotta get my bloods done just haven't found the time to yet

Xx

 

[molly85]

go get them done and get on meds it will be why you can't loose weight.i love thodse pills shamw i frget to take them at the mo. i had them every 8 weeks when pg on 125mcg

 

[madcatwoman]

Madly, re- the favoured side for Baileys head, ive just read that lots of tummy time will healp strengthen the muscles and will help.
Gilz,im really annoyed with your doctors!

we got Bailey some 3-6mnth clothes today, will see what the sizing is like on him later!.
Also bought number 3 teats, he was taking so long with numer 2's he was loosing interest and nodding off haflway through his 150mls half the time!, done 2 feeds so far with number 3's, so far so good, see how we go(because they are ment for +3 months really)

 

[tas1]

I will have to Molly!

I never thought of that cat,caleb take ages with his feeds so I wonder if it could be that! will have to try it!
X

 

[madcatwoman]

so far today its worked pretty well tas. only twice has he taken too much & its overflowed, seems a bit more satisfied with it!

 

[gilz82]

Noah is the same with his feeds. I tried number 2 feeds yesterday but half of it ended up down his face so he's either not ready yet or just to lazy to swallow quickly.

Gp told me to take Noah up to the surgery and wait to be seen. We waited over an hour with Noah screaming the whole time, wouldn't take a dummy nothing was consoling him. Saw the dr who said they can't give him anything else it would need to be paediatrics. Said we were to go home and she'd phone paediatrics but it couldn't be all that bad anyway

I said "no of course it isn't I must just be making it up about my son constantly screaming in pain apart from when he's eating, as he was so quiet in your waiting room!"

Still haven't heard anything back from her. If he's still as upset and screamy later I'm just going to take him to dr on call at the hospital as this just can't continue, he's in agony.

 

[madcatwoman]

ha, yes, some milk ends up down bailey too, even with number 2 teats, i think its greed personally, more than they can swollow!.

I could swing for that GP of yours!

Well, my 3 min shower accomplished, and half my hair dry, and even managed to come on here!.he's stiring now though!...

 

[MADLYSBOYS]

Hi Ladies :wave:

Gilz that fecking Dr wants a smack I hate that `new mummy been over paranoid!` look they give you I agree take him to A&E and refuse to budge until they help

When I took Charlie to paediatrics over his lump the student Dr said to me `ahhhh I guess hes your first!` I mean just like that as if I should have it tatooed on my head or something that am a paranoid mummy grrrrrrr! Well she soon stoppped smirking when I said `No hes my second actually I have a 5 yr old Son too!` am sure she didnt believe me she gave me a look

Tas I hope you sort the car insurance out

Charlie is still on size 1 teats we tried size 2 but he was taking in too much air and we didnt want to encourage the colic Hes still only taking 2-3oz every 2-3hrs though it does worry me a tad when I know all the rest of the grad babies are on wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy more than that even little Jake taking 4oz and wanting more I wish Charlie would take 3oz every feed right now blah! HV is coming on Wednesday lunch am a bit anxious to see if hes gained or not!

 

[vbaby3]

Hi girls,
Poor noah,can't believe you've to go through all that and you still haven't been seen.Your poor head must be melted gilz.xxxx

Teagans wonderfullness was short lived,she's unsettled again today.She was up at 3am for a feed,I got her back down at 4am,and by 4.45 she was up again in pain.I hadn't even gotten back to sleep.So i've been up since 3am
Tomorrow evening is my aunts funeral mass.dh can't get off work,so i have to drive me and the 3 kids by myself the whole way down to dublin,and then back again afterwards.I'm compltely dreading it.I just hope teagan sleeps for the journey.She's so unpredictable though,you never know what she'll be like.I can't exactly pull over on the motorway to comfort her
I just hope she doesn't have me up too much tonight,i wouldn't feel safe driving that distance with all the kids on 4 or 5 hrs sleep!

 

[MADLYSBOYS]
