Nomore have you no toddler groups nearby? With Byron we cannot get through a day without some activity like that. We have the dogwalk for the other side of lunch/nap too.

Vbaby migraines can be different for everyone really. Classic migraine includes aura which is a visual disturbance. I've only had that two or three times but my mum gets it most times. It's pretty well genetic though the way it manifests might be different. A migraine doesn't usually last beyond three days and I don't think numbness and things would be a normal symptom. Sounds to me more like a trapped nerve. Doubt you'll remember but I had that monster headache for a full week after Indigo was born. I was googling spinal headache and allsorts but it didn't fit. After a couple of days I got excruciating pain in my neck and moved on to diclofenac which kept it at bay til it went away. It was a trapped nerve in my neck. I have no doubt there will be some nerve or other that leads to both limbs on one side that could explain your numbness and headache. For me it just passed and I made efforts to keep my posture good. As I couldn't sit all the feeding and eating myseld was being done on my side and scrunching up my neck making it worse. Even in the theatre as they put the spinal in I found the arm on that side was a bit numb and wrong.

Thanks peanut,yeh I've been doing a bit of googling,and probably freaking myself out about ms coz the doc mentioned it!
The numbness has been on and off from I was about 8wks pregnant.Something I'd hoped would go away after Teagan was born.So the doc said because its an ongoing problem I need to see the neurologist.The banging headache is a new thing for me,I normally wouldn't suffer headaches at all.
The thing with trapped nerves is the doc said there wouldn't be 1 nerve that would effect my arm leg and face.
I'm just trying not to worry until I know what it is,and fingers crossed its something simple and treatable.

im with pb i get migraines to the only cure for me is bed rest and sleep i bhad one once that went over a week i ended up stupidly driving to the docs for a jab in the arse and imigraine. took another 2 days to clear.

 

[PeanutBean]

Now I'm googling vbaby! Found this:

Migraine headaches can sometimes cause either paralysis or pain in the arm and leg. Since this is an unusual presentation, neurology consultation is advised.

Entrapment neuropathies affecting peripheral nerves may also cause pain in the arm and leg.

Don't forget pregnancy can cause all kinds of nerve issues and migraine too.

Oh madly that's a shame coz that dummy sounds good you'll have to post a picture up! I haven't gone for anything fancy just three balloons in a row with a weight then a foil one for cake table!

I won't put his bottles up yet I'll just put it down to the heat! Gonna start weaning a week on Thursday coz he'll be 17wks!!

He's finally asleep but will be waking for his last feed and he needs a bath coz he's sweaty bless him!

Haven't been for a run but had two missed calls from my sister maybe she doesn't think her deleting me off Facebook after so long of nagging for me to get back on it means anything but it does to me and I can't be bothered with her lecturing me anymore it's my life and she should just be happy I'm happy! I'm scared no-one will come to my wedding or cause an argument over coz me and my OH are talking about our wedding

Cant believe how hot it is!!

I've got my interview for my level 3 hairdressing tomorrow I'm rather nervous about it

i have a toddler group in the church opposite but erm i am open minded but being asked every 5 minutes why i havent got leo christened and why dont i do a double one when this one comes along just started to really really bother me! there is another one i found but literally found it the day after it closed for the hols, i want to take him swimming but has suddenly become lets say "annoyed" around water lol

once the holidays are over i will be taking both leo and rachael to the one i found as it has one room for babies and one room for toddlers! its perfect minus it being closed at the moment. as for other activities its my dizziness that prevents us doing most of them. also he hates that he doesnt see much of dh after seeing him so much before he started working again

libruary could be a good idea his fave thing to do still is reading there is a massive libruary down the road from here! might have to google it take a look at it!

 

[molly85]

oh there are book challenges on at the moment i have forgotten what they are called but abby is doing the book crawl and goes to the rhythm and rhym group at ours she actually looked vagually intrested last week

 

[NOMORENUMBERS]

blimey, i need to start reading again how have i spelt library? they have something called circus workshop going on tomorrow might take a gander, at least if he doesnt like whatever they are doing there is something else to do too lol

 

[PeanutBean]

Oh Molly DH told me the LA his library is under has pulled funding for the book challenge. Guess how much it costs? £400!!! A quarter if a single council tax and the LA can't find the money for it? Effing disgrace.

We take Byron to a group at the Methodist church. My mum took him when I was working so we carried on going. It's a nice group but I do sometimes feel a bit funny being ex-Methodist myself. They've never said anything to me though. Methodists (contrary to common perception) are quite relaxed about things really.

 

[molly85]

my mums local church is methodist nice bunch if a bit happy clappy lol i'm athiest and Ican't spell to save my life. lol

What the book challenge was so basic but fun, i saw the older kids one and wanted to do it.

 

[NOMORENUMBERS]

i am open minded but hate being preached to, it is the village church with those sterotypical village people iwould say like vicar of dibley but those people rocked! lol

ha ha molly happy clappy i know exactly what you mean, i think it is important for leo to have knowledge of religion etc so will prob get my mum to take him to sunday school for me but as for sitting there discussing baptism plans for my children when their dad couldnt be more athiest if he tried . . . just a bit much lol shame really as it is literally opposite!

 

[molly85]

abby won't be christened matt suggested she learnt about christianity fromhis step mum I then asked who was taking her to the synagog andtemple etc he shut up and back tracked lol

Morning all
Bailey was wide awake , fidgeting and grumbling at 1.30 in his cot, in the end i had to get up, gave him a cuddle and tried to settle him but he was having none of it, in the end i gave in and gave him a bottle and he downed it pretty quickly!(he had his last bottle at 10.30pm). He never used to wake at 1.30 not even as a newborn!

Durring the day however im sure hes lacking interest in his milk, i usually have to offer it a few times within the 2 hour time frame for him to finish off, we're still on 150ml/5oz with no sign of progressing. what are all your babies taking??

im thinking hes not a big milk fan, we'll be weening in 3 weeks time or so.

 

[tas1]

Mornig ladies

Caleb is on 8oz four times a day!

Although he only had 4oz of his last feed last night and has slept through til 7.30am picked up him cuddled him and he has fallen back asleep. Think the heat didn't help his naps and the fact I was too busy to keep cuddling him while he slept never mind!

He might of been too hot yesterday Cat I know in the heat I don't eat much so that might be it!!

I have my interview for college today and I'm very nervous and excited,I just hope I can get in so I can make myself more qualified and when time comes get a better paid job.

Xx

 

[madcatwoman]

nah its not the heat, 5oz sometimes over an hour or something like that is the norm, every 3 hours. 8oz is good going!

good luck with your interview today!

 

[tas1]

Mmmm I don't know what else it could be maybe he really isn't a big milk drinker!!
Caleb is a big boy lol he's only been on 8oz for less than a week I think

Thank you x

 

[madcatwoman]

yeh thats it, i really dont think he is a big milk drinker, hence why i think we'll ween him at 4months. saying that, ive just weighed myself and then stood on the scales with him, and hes about 14lbs now, or there abouts, im sure the HV scales are more accurrate

 

[tas1]

That's a good weight so he is getting enough milk! I wouldn't worry too much they do say they'll have enough to fill their tummies!

Xx

 

[loopylollipop]

morning ladies

hope you are all well. Been trying to keep up with everything but found diffcult to post but whey hey laptop now risen from the ashes!

Tas - good luck today. What are you planning to study?

Madcat - cant really help with the ff, but Bailey sure looks happy and healthy in his piccies so sure there is nothing to worry about. Certainly these babes dont seem to be liking the heat.

Will try and catch up whilst Dylan is asleep, cant comment any further as yet...

afm, Dylan is now 8lb 7oz he feels massive but only realise how little he still is at the side of similiar age babes at mum and baby group. Bless him.

He is now sleeping in his basket, and not on me and we are getting about 5 hour stretches. So things really progressing!

hugs to all

 

[madcatwoman]

oh yeh, he certinaly looks and feels heavy enough lol

Loopy, when Dh bought me this laptop it was wonderful, i was struggling going from room to room for the desktop and in the end i was loosing touch with everyone!

Does anyone subscribe to Lovefilm.com??
DH was looking at it, i think hes finding our evenings with boring tv a bit mundane(i suppose esp as i wont hand over Bailey to MIL to go to the cinema)
If any of you do let me know what you think of the service and whether its worth it?
