doh i also posted on wrong thread
MOrning all, again recently finished early morning feed, I still can't believe how good he is at the mo, last night again half an hour each side woke up to play then put himself to sleep with his baby mozart from prepregnancy, woke at 5:30 and guzzled for an hour and ten minutes. My mum keeps telling me he's going to long, but each nappy he does at least 2 wees over us and he poos every feed so I'm sure he's getting enough, am i right??
Thanks for all the messages re photos, likewise dejags your LO is gorgeous aren't we all lucky!!!
I have tried to catch up a bit.
Lupins - I'm not 100% whats been happening but it sounds rotten, i'm sure you've got the strength to get through.
Lwatkings - glad you're home, must have been rotten in hospital for that long, I was fed up after 1 night. The silver cross 3D is lovely my friens had it in blossom. I have the silver cross linear freeway which is simliar but the carrycot is separate and I am very happy with it.
Sky and WEW congrats on your births
Gingerbear - fingers crossed stays cephalic, pleased you reminded me about mile for maude its on the calendar now, haven't got any sponsors so think I will but something from shop. Recently found out that one of the twins I delivered in barnsley last year died of cot death at 16 months, the mum worked with my dh. Poor girl I can't imagine it let alone having identical boy twins and losing one. I remeber those sleepless nights well the good news is I'm getting more sleep now
Camerron - I'm thinking of you and your friends.
HOpe thats all for now,
Yesterday was mega stressful for me, went to a bbq on sat at KatzG, she rang me yesterday to tell me her DD1 had just started with chickenpox. At over day 7 and with me possibly not immune this is worst case scenario and joshua may need immunoglobulin otherwise if he gets the pox at 9 days old it can be fatal. My mum says i had 3 spots when my brother had them but the GP wasn't sure at the time. We're waiting for my blood results to know if he needs treatment. We're well within the time limit though as the earliest he could catch them due to viral transmission is wed and my results will be back tomorrow, I have spoken to the prof personally and if he needs drugs they will be blue lighted to the house last thing tues night so we are still within 24 hours and it guarantees him no to catch them as its artificaial immunity. Oh the joys and stresses of being a doc. however I'm pleased i was as the Mw on call tried to bullshit me as it was sunday and tell me that as he was out now we just had to watch for spots - WRONG WRONG WRONG thank god I knew the royal college guidelines and told her otherwise if I hadn't been on the ball i hate to think what could have happened. I am thinking carefully about what to do as everything will be fine but if i hadn't been a medic that mw could potentially have made a fatal mistake - should I complain??? Then I hung up on my mum as she told me thats why they don't recommend taking babies out until after 7 days, she didn't seem to understand that its largely irrelevant as if I haven't had chickenpox the timing doesn't really matter that much. Talk about laying on the guilt trip!!!! needless to say she rang back but told me to calm down as my milk would slow down _ hilarious me calm down i was calm until she put her awe in!!! all fine now we were bound to have these discagrements, she keeps telling me to offer him cpoiled boiled water as I'm over feeding him, is this a thow back to the 80's when i was born??
GOing to have a much better day today to distract from waiting for results, going to the jewellers, we have picked out a lovely platinum and diamond crucifix for my born present - oh how lucky he's an april babe not may - diamond's instead of emeralds!!! and he says I can have a silver charm bracelet too maybe the tears yesterday were worth it!!! (musn't let him see this).
We bought joshua a loverly wooden train and letters spelling his name from the international market in sheffield yesterday. WE have a service of thanksgiving arranged for may 20th, my birthday so also getting ideas for presents form other people as they keep asking and as i have a huge family don't want to end up with 50 money boxes if anyone has any nice original ideas please let me know.
Another mammoth post from me, I am a gas bag.
better go shower and put washing on.
Have a good bank holiday monday all.
