Just quick post as am totally shattered and already spent over an hour just catching up!
Maveta - baby lotion on cotton wool is very good at shifting more stuck on meconium and poo if water isnt doing it and more gentle than wipes still. My sister uses small squares of fleece as wipes with abit of some sort of fancy baby lotion on that smells lovely! Which it needs to as reusable nappies do tend to have a slightly more noticeable wee smell than disposables, nothing too bad though only really notice it when changing her.
Dooby hope all is ok
WO - hope it goes ok tomorrow at hospital
DD gets head lice loads although hasn't had any for a few months (touch wood), I found hedrin worked really well as long as you remember to treat again exactly 1 week later and no chemicals. Nitty gritty comb is SO much better than normal nit combs and available free (as its for the child) on prescription from dr, otherwise costs about £10 but still worth it. I spray her hair with detangling spray every morning anyway so have stuck a few drops tea tree oil in it as its meant to help prevent nits, not sure if it works though or not. Oh and i always tie her hair back.
Err was going to say something about hospital bags. Oh good idea whoever said about having bag packed already for dc, have to remember to do that.
Am feeling very bad mother after reading people worried about being parted from their dc, ive been looking forward to having a break from them!! Although saying that i probably will miss them when they're not around. In the evenings i cant wait for them to go to bed but once they've been there an hour or so i wanna go cuddle them! Well sometimes anyway, depending how tired i am!
When i was pg with ds i was admitted to hospital with tachycardia at around 33/34 weeks and spent bout 3 days there. My mum bought dd in (then aged 2 1/2 ish) and she didnt want to come and cudddle me, I knew it was cos i was in the hospital and it was scary and weird but it was so horrid and i just burst into tears. i think was the first time id cried in front of my mum since i was about 12! We went for a walk round the grounds and she was fine with me. And when she came in after id had ds she was fine too. Hope they both be ok this time, they should be as they know its coming and im sure dd wil be cos she understands it all and expect ds will follow her lead.
Dont know why i always say it just a quick post cos it never is!! Still so much more to say though!!
