Rocket glad you're better.
Owly a cold drink, preferably with sugar, always worked for me to get baby moving.

Leaving lots of love for Medee.

rocketleaf · 31/03/2011 15:11

They were out of bavarian slices so i got a rhubarb and custard turn over, which is possibly the most genius piece of cake/sweet shop sweet hybridisation ever.

I think some heavy duty plastic sheeting would solve the pool problem but yes might be a trip/slip hazard. will just have to discuss with MW.

rocketleaf · 31/03/2011 16:52

Nother boring MW appointment this end too. Hemoglobin is a bit low but not low enough for 'treatment' so I am going to join in with the Spatone quaffing for the next month. Bottoms up!

LadyGoneGaga · 31/03/2011 16:56

Yes, cheapo value shower curtains. And put a load of old sheets/towels down to avoid any slippage.

Wahoo for a boring appt, Owlie

rocketleaf · 31/03/2011 16:59

Yeah I have been hoarding old sheets/curtains/towels for just this purpose (although at the time I thought I was hoarding them for painting dust sheets)

Also MW said I have a 'lovely neat bump' and then said 'lets hope it stays that way' we also had a really nice chat about various yoga and pilates teachers in the locale for post natal classes. Deirdre is pretty awesome imo.

Medee · 31/03/2011 17:54

Hi all - today has been a better day, we got a cuddle. She's in NICU, now stable and slowly coming off the various tubes and stuff. Hopefully downgraded to SCBU next week, and then getting closer to the exit door with each day. Hoping to try direct BF tonight, in the meantime have umpteen bottles building up from expressing which she is being fed by tube. Will tell the full story when I can - needless to say, keeping this off other online places.

Oh Medee, poor little girl. I hope she is home soon. Much love to you all.

macaroonmum · 31/03/2011 17:59

Oh Medee :( can't imagine what you are going through but glad to hear things are looking more positive. Sending you and mini-med lots of Esh-love x

laurielou · 31/03/2011 18:26

Dear Lord, Medee you poor thing! And obviously your poor little girl. Lots of ESH love coming your way. Hope to hear some good news soon, xx

Ginfox · 31/03/2011 18:27

Medee you poor thing. Hope you both get home asap. Meanwhile make sure you're looking after yourself as best you can. Hugs and copious cups of tea.

Was reading a crappy gossip mag today, and saw extremely unflattering photo of Rod Stewart's missus - with baby of a few weeks old. She looked knackered, bloated, and still apparently wearing maternity clothes - also extremely pleased with herself. Yay! So sick of seeing celebs who fit into their old clothes 30 seconds after giving birth. Going to stick photo on the fridge as a reminder that it's ok to eat cake and look skanky (my normal approach to life anyway).

rocketleaf · 31/03/2011 18:31

Cripes medee that sounds awful. Poor you and poor wee one. Good to hear she is getting better now though. Sending her lots of love and fast healing vibes. And you take care of yourself too. x

Scorpette · 31/03/2011 18:50

Oh, Medee, I can't imagine what you must be going through, but she is getting THE best help available. And love, cuddles and mummymilk are very strong medicine on top of what science can provide. Both me and TYF are sending darling little EA huge love and healing vibes and huge love to you both too. She sounds like she's already getting better, so stay strong and remember we are always here for you :)

Ariesgirl · 31/03/2011 19:02

Much love Meds to you and EA and MrMedee. Tis terribly exhausting and stressful, so remember to look after yourself as well. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Casserole · 31/03/2011 19:07

Oh Medee I am so very sorry you're going through it like this.
Lighting a candle for her, and you, tonight.
xxxxx

CurlyCasper · 31/03/2011 19:12

oh medee, I really feel for you and your wee family right now. I have been thinking of you lots and hoping it was just a little feeding/weight loss blip that would be easily sorted, or even something smaller. It's so horrible to have to go back to hospital after taking your lovely baby home, but I can't imagine what it's like when NICU and SCBU are involved. I hope EA is going from strength to strength and that you and Mr Meds are doing ok yourselves. We are all here if you need to vent. And we'll all be here to celebrate when you are all back home. Lots of love and ESH strength xxx

PerfectDromedary · 31/03/2011 21:21

Meds I hope you and miniM are doing ok and being looked after brilliantly. You're in my thoughts.

owlbooty · 31/03/2011 21:24

Am sending many many get well soon vibes in the direction of TinyMeds and hope you escape very, very soon - so sorry you've had such a bloody awful fright but if she's coming off the tubes that's a good start - I bet you she pulls the feeding tube out herself before too long :)

Hope you and Mr Meds are doing okay and getting as much rest as you can. x

Ocarina · 31/03/2011 21:58

Thinking of you lots Medee, hope the progress continues. I can't imagine how scary it must all be, take care of yourself knowing that your wee one is getting the best possible care.

CluckyKate · 31/03/2011 22:00

Holy shit Meds - that sounds harrowing. We're all rooting for you and if you need to vent you know where we are Smile

Is ver good news about Mrs Rod...she birthed day before me so am feeling very much buoyed by her shocking appearance, esp as I have binned my maternity jeans [ignores huge muffin top over jeans 2 sizes up from pre-preggo] [removes hot water bottle from nips] [slaps on more concealer]

PollyPoo · 31/03/2011 22:27

Oh Meds how awful, I can't imagine how scary it must be for you and MrMeds, and your families too no doubt. I hope MiniMeds continues to improve and you get her home safe and sound soon. Thinking of all you all. Candle is lit. xx

LadyGoneGaga · 31/03/2011 22:51

So sorry little Meds is poorly. But sounds like she's getting good care. Not that it makes it any less scary and stressful for you. Thinking of you all xxx

MadameBoo · 31/03/2011 22:59

Just sending love and prayers/ good vibes to all the Medee family. Hope she's out of hospital and home very soon.

starcuntmole · 31/03/2011 23:03

meds also sending lots of love to you and mini boostar- she has the ESH power positively flowing through her veins and we're all willing on her on full fitness, adn at home snuffling. Hope you and Mr Meds are taking care of yourselves and each other.

BarbiesBeaver · 01/04/2011 09:12

Hope things are looking better this morning Meds was thinking of you last night.

Ivegotmrbitey · 01/04/2011 10:04

meds thinking of you and EA and Mr Meds, you are doing so well. This will be just be a memory one day as you enjoy every day with your beautiful little girl. Lots of love and candle lit here too xx
