Oh CB, I am so sorry to hear about your ds. You really are having a run of crap luck aren't you.

You are not in any way a bad mother - we cannot wrap our kids up in cotton wool.

I just feel so awful for you what with everything you have on you plate.

Huge amounts of love and hugs to you.

Makes my whinging feel totally pathetic.

CB, lets hope you've reached the point where it can only get better

Thanks girls, I feel like I am always on here with a tale of woe about our family´s health. In RL I am known for not complaining!!! Poor DS, he was in so much pain but seems to have setlled now that the cast is on.

I was fine all the time in the hospital; even when they wouldn´t let me in the x ray room with him (for being pg of course) and DD1 had to go (only 6 bless her) and I could hear him howling, and they both came out looking shell shocked. But when they told me it was a break and then they were plastering him and he was hysterical on my knee because they had to straighten his leg and meanwhile the doctor was going on and on about which piece of paper I had to take to which doctor and who would ring me when anyway, I kept asking her what she´d said as my head was everywhere, and eventually she said to the nurse "She doesn´t understand any of this, does she?" (in Spanish of course).... and I was so frustrated because my Spanish is fine but the situation was just so hard and when I heard her say that I just dissolved. Sorry, feel better for getting that of my chest.

Anyway, poor thing has had ibuprofen and is in bed now and seems fine. And maveta, yes, thanks, you´re right..at least I did take him in when it happened. There have been plenty of occasions when I´ve waivered over possible head trauma and then convinced myself he´s fine, so it´s nice to know that my pain radar was spot on.

Anyway, haven´t even read the thread from this evening. Any babies yet?? It was quite weird being in the hospital because the chilren´s A&E admission window is about 2 feet away from the maternity admissions window, and there was a woman there checking in obviously in the firsst stages of labour. I thought, in a couple of weeks I´ll be there . Maybe I can get DS´s cast taken off when he comes in for a visit!!!

EllieK · 16/03/2007 22:07

no CB, no babies yet

starting to wonder if any of us re ever going to give birth

claricebean · 16/03/2007 22:15

well i guess it´s not actually our month yet

EllieK · 16/03/2007 22:18

by the time they reached March the Due in March girls already had 3 babies , one was in January

claricebean · 16/03/2007 22:21

Well, we´ve still got half a month to go....Anything could happen

octopussyintummy · 16/03/2007 22:26

I don't think this baby is ever going to come out - I posted a thread about induction using accupuncture and someone said not overdue until 42 weeks - I was like NO WAY am I going past 42 weeks under any circumstances - must go back and look as someone is bound to have taken offence!

Have been to pamper evening - did actually spend most of evening helping out - but did squeeze in an indian head massage which was nice

CB - poor ds - hope he is okay - and with dh away too - a real nightmare. Mine are real daddy's boys and would have to recall him for that kind of emergency!

EllieK · 16/03/2007 22:37

it's better happen soon cb, or octo will go crazy with waiting

octopussyintummy · 16/03/2007 22:39

I watched that programme about the baby guru who mustn't be mentioned - had recorded it - I never used the book but it is so strange how fiercely people fight both sides - you are either for or against - no-one said that they read it and took bits out that worked or that it worked for a bit etc. I also find it strange that just because 1 million copies have been sold that they assume 1 million people have followed it happily. Personally I am planning to wait til he arrives, figure out what works best for us and go for it - whatever 'it' may be! I couldn't stick to specific timings - would drive me potty and have a life to get on with as a whole family.

I have recorded the apprentice - planning to watch it tomorrow. I love the apprenctice - always watch both the uk and usa ones!

Dh off to the rugby tomorrow - need to fill 3 1/2 hours with the boys!

Off to bed now - zzzzzzzzzzzzz

EllieK · 16/03/2007 22:42

octo - the last 5 mins of apprentice weren't shown last night, they're coming up on bbc1 soon

octopussyintummy · 16/03/2007 22:43

EllieK - I think it will be atleast another week before anyone has baby/ies - maybe they are waiting for their extra dose of easter chocolate before they have to move on to boring old milk!

octopussyintummy · 16/03/2007 22:44

bugger! That means I will not find out the end - you will need to watch it for me and I will watch the progamme tomorrow and then you can tell me!

EllieK · 16/03/2007 22:44

so make sure you start the video again! or you'll never know who got fired!

EllieK · 16/03/2007 22:45

it got right up to the 'you're fired' and stopped, to make us watch comic relief!

EllieK · 16/03/2007 22:45

will take notes for you!

octopussyintummy · 16/03/2007 22:48

Thanks

Night EllieK xx
