PAL Spring 2011 babies - Welcome Mason, Iris, Lily, Isaac, Luca & Dominic !!!!

[roonsma]

R - he has is good days and bad days bless him. He's still on only one Hungry bottle a night and a 6:1 mix of stage 1 to Hungry in his other bottles. The whole up-every-2-hours in the night which almost tipped me over the edge earlier this week has been replaced (for the last 2 nights anyway) by sleeping 1945 - 0130. I hope that it continues. 4 hours unbroken sleep for me, whereas for a few nights I was lucky to get 3 hrs total

He is SO ADORABLE though, such a happy dude. You can't help but smile back at 3am when he gazes into your eyes and flashes the cheesy grin

Ah-ha, a charmer already and only 10 weeks! He is super cute though!

I'm presuming you've been told a million times about cluster feeding and "tiger on the branch" for tummy ache (or whatever it was-may have that totally wrong i was sleep deprived at the time?)

I hope you carry on getting your solid fours hours, every 2 hours must have been hard going, 3 hours total-jesus hun? No words for that one! i honestly do sympathise and you can feel free to punch me on the nose when i say it will get easier (but it will)

Have you a parenting journal? , would love to come and stalk x

 

[Minimin]

omg min, even sooner than i thought! same date as vickie too! (and my scan, lol)
feb 8 will be suuuch an exciting day for us all!!!
do you have somebody here who can update for you?

Eek thanks hun! I have my iphone so I should be able to update later on when I am out of recovery hun.

Tulip- your lil man sounds like a gem- smiling and flashing you grins is enough to make anyone's heart melt. I look forward to those!


Thanks for thinking of me ladies- lots of positive vibes for babba for tuesday please!!

What about cluster feeding? And what is this tiger of which you speak? Mummy journal in my siggy - warning: much whingeing at times xx

 

[Minimin]

morning :wave: Hope Mr D was a good boy for you tulip!

I didnt sleep until about 3am and up by 7. We are off for more CTGS and then last minute shopping for hospital bag as I will be there a few days.
Also going to ask for tour of neonatal and ask for a private room if available

VickyD has posted on another of my threads. Her girl is here!! Wednesday but they are keeping an eye on her. I'll let her post more as I am not sure if she will think I am being cheeky! But just to let you know Babba is here!

Happy Sat ladies!!!

[Vickieh1981]

Lots of luck Vickie

Thanks ladies for you best wishes. I will post as soon as we have a date for next week.
I am so scared for little one but have to leave this to the hands of fate now.

It'll be fine honestly hun. My Matthew was 34+5 the same as you will be and he wasfine - only needed feeding help, no breathing problems because we had the steroids. We were home in 8 days.

Sorry to hear that Vickie is back in but she is in the best place possible.

Min- your baby is a fighter and so are you.

Babies are the last thing on my mind just now as I've got my 14-yr-old niece to worry about. Can't go into details because of how serious it is but we all love her very much.

I'm sorry you have got a lot on your mind with your niece.

Here is my little man. Measuring 2 weeks ahead of time and already 5 and a half pounds!

Awww cutie pie.

i must tell mine to keep it's hands in it's pockets!!! hahaha
good lord, contractions are just scary shit, really, if they are worse than that...somebody knock me out!!!! lol
can't have pain relief either
1) i want a water birth
2) i'd be the wuzz of the family, first female to ask for it hehe

If you need pain relief then you ask for it. It's agonising going through labour and don't let anyone make you feel like you can't ask

and sigh.... i can't believe i didn't know about baby Ixxy
once again, so sorry meggles!!!

I know. I was gutted to read it. The midwife walked in just as I read it and wondered why I was crying.

Thanks for the well wishes ladies.
Please send lil one lots of strength and vibes for Tuesday. I have my C section booked. Have had my steroid injection this morning and one more tomorrow to mature her lungs.
CTG, HR, Temp and bloods tomorrow. and then regular CTG until Tuesday for madame.

I am so scared but excited.

You'll be fine sweetie. We are going in to have our girls on the same day

:wave: Ladies

Not sure how I missed this thread! I lost my first born at 23 weeks and now I am having my rainbow. I am due May 28th with another little girl.

Great to see you over this side sweetie.

Best of luck for Tuesday Min. She's a strong little monkey, will be keeping a lookout for updates

Apple_sauce, congratulations! V-day tomorrow too! Floaty kisses to Callie. I love love love the fact we still have people joining this thread AND YOU'RE ALL VIABLE!!

So my question is..... Who will be running the Spring 2011 Mummys thread??? Because I'll be stalking that too

I'm happy to if anyone wants.

I am home now. They did initially say to stay until I was induced but then the dr yesterday said that if I had no bleeding for 24 hours I could come home and go back Tuesday.

When she came round this morning she said - so we'll just watch you until Tuesday. Prompting me to pout and say "but you said I could go home "

She made me promise I will go back with even the slightest problem before tuesday.

 

[debgreasby]

Oooh glad u got back home Vickie

 

[hb1]

Wow - Tuesday - that has come round quick ( prob less so for you being in hospital so much!! ) Good luck for Tuesday Vickie!!

Hey ladies! Ive had limited net accsess since last night so a quick update before i get thrown off again. I had bab girl by c-section wed. morning, i was put under as i hadnt stopped the blood thinners in time. Apparently she cried and breathed on her own straight away. She is in NICU but breathing on her own from day 1. She hasnt gained any weight and at the moment is getting most of her food from a tube and we are trying to bottle feed every day.Today was a better day, the doctor took me off the iv meds so i could go into the NICU and have skin to skin contact.... I was also allowed to feed her with a bottle, she took 20 ml which is double what she took so far!!! I was so proud! The neonatal specialist said that when she will be eating 45 ml from the bottle they will let her come home!!!!!

 

[apple_sauce]

:wave: Thank you all for being so welcoming!
So happy to have made it past when I lost Callie. Felt like I was never going to be past that mark.

& to our angels and bumps

 

[Mrmojo1971]

Congratulations Vicky - sounds like it won't be too long before they let you take your LO home !

Have you decided on a name for her yet ?

 

[tinybutterfly]

i've had tiring days
friday cleaning bc they were bringing the new dining room today.
also went to go see and buy my "new" 2nd hand digicam.
it's the same one as i have already, but in much much much better condition,
mine has lived a rich and fulfilling life... this one...not so much.
they admitted that in the last 3 yrs they had barely taken 100 pics with it.
OMG, i take over a 100 in just one month hahaha
and it was bargain!!!!
got the digicam plus all cables etc, a strong case and 2 memory cards...for the price of €50 whoooot!


and today obviously putting dining room together, clean it up etc etc.
then i went to bed at 1pm with the idea of just some snuggling time with OH and the cat... but i ended up sleeping 'till 5pm instead oops!

Hi all

Congratulations Vickyd!! Well done hun!! xx

Glad you're home again Vickie xx

Tulip- Cluster feeding- as in you group feeds more closely together through late afternoon and eve to help them sleep longer at night and with my LO i used to give him a "dream feed" at about 10.30 as otherwise i was up and down all night with him, google it, it did help with Cameron. Might be worth a go x

Tiger on a branch or whatever it is- you lie them face down over your forearm, it helps with tummy ache, i had a pal with a terribly colicky baby and it helped to settle her, also cycling Camerons legs used to help him erm.. well fart!!! xx

Will check journal out, don't worry bout moaning, its one of my specialities! x

 

[Firedancer41]
