Welcome to the crisp shiny new thread! The old one was getting a wee bit stoorie and dog-eared.

Have done my best to list all those from the previous thread, though some may have namechanged since then... hope I've included everyone - apologies to anyone missed.

Hi all sorry not been checking in. Harris and me spent the night in ninewells on Monday he isn't putting on weight still 7lb 5oz(been like that for over a week) and isn't feeding great. Get to ninewells and they discover he has a very prominent heart murmur and its making him tired hence crappy feeding. Also something in his bloods came back high (not sure what was kinda dazed) So repeat bloods on Tuesday and we've to see a cardiologist. Trying to stay upbeat which is hard cos my mum isn't really talking to me and i have no idea why. Dh went back to work on Monday too so feel all alone.
God my posts are always so miserable, i'm going to have to start making up an imaginary life for myself

Hope everyone else is well and hello to all the new names.

MPS if you let me know what days you pick your DS up from nursery i'll walk up to the school with all the boys. I'll more and likely be at the school tomorro woth all the boys. I tend to stand in the playground near the gate.

dizzydixies · 26/03/2009 20:37

oh jenny how worrying for you, don't be worrying about miserable posts - where better than to get it all off your chest. Have they given you some advice on how to help him with his feeding etc?

hi ivoryfrog glad you've finally posted we won't bite!

JennyfromtheBlock · 26/03/2009 20:42

For his weight he needs to be taking 63mls every 3 hours so just perserverence. Before that i was told he was to be on 100mls at least per feed and it was struggle, he seems to be coping with the smaller amounts more regularly. He doesn't seem to wake up for feeds though, its like he's not bothered. If i don't try and wake him up he would go much longer between feeds. without being a hypochondriac i just feel somethings not right. I'm paranoid anyway because of the medication i took when i was pregnant, i just feel so guilty.

dizzydixies · 26/03/2009 20:44

oh jenny don't please don't beat yourself up about this - just keep asking and asking and asking, if you think there is something not right make sure you get an answer

minipinkscottish · 26/03/2009 21:32

Oh Jenny I am so sorry you are having a hard time...it is such a strain when the LO is not doing so well[sad[ dizzy is right just keep asking until you get it sorted

I will be at school tomorrow and I will look out for you .....feel free to moan all you like to me and on here...don't keep things to yourself...and talk to your mum...I'm sure she's just worried about all of you xxx

minipinkscottish · 27/03/2009 10:40

Feeling really low today DH took some photos of Abbie last night and we noticed that in every one her left eye was white....dh had read of a case where a woman had diagnosed a tumour by looking at aphot of a baby with a white spot in their eye.

As you can imagine i spent all night worrying and couldn't wait to take her to the docs this morning. I thought the doc would say everything is fine...don't be so silly But she couldn't get a red relex in her left eye and although she said it was probably nothing she thought it best to refer her to a specialist

I asked doc if an optician would be able to tell me more and she said it would be a good idea to go to opticians for a check and she feels that the opticians will probably get the red reflex and be able to put my mind at rest.....I do hope so[sad I've got an appointment to take Abbie this afternoon.....

my imagination is running riot....must go and clean...therapy sorry for moan

mhairi13 · 28/03/2009 09:54

Hi everyone. I live in Auchtermuchty with my ds who's 2 and my df of 5 years. Thought I'd see what goes on here

Hi minipinkscottish, I hope everything goes ok at the opticians. xx

minipinkscottish · 28/03/2009 13:39

Hi mhairi13 and welcome xxxxx

I am in muchty too and so is Jenny

Looks like everything is ok with Abbie optician was great and really reasurred me. he couldn't see any sign of anything being wrong and he was able to get the red reflex. so we will go to specialist to be on safe side but hopefully the panic is over

mhairi13 · 28/03/2009 14:35

I'm glad everything went ok. At least seeing a specialist should reassure you. Theres nothing worse than thinking there's something wrong with your lo.

I don't know many people in muchty. I only just started Innes at the monkeys this week and to the mother and toddler group.

JennyfromtheBlock · 29/03/2009 19:03

Hi all Harris seems to have turned a corner and is feeding a bit better, seems to be hungry Still not seen my mum but have been managing, so i'm quite pleased with myself. welcome Mhairi, my little Innes is 2 in July.Have you lived in muchty long? You brave going to the monkeys and the m and t. I'm so glad Abbie is fine MPS, i seen your dh pick up Mackenzie. The internet doesn't half scare you when you read some of the health things

xxJennyxx

mhairi13 · 30/03/2009 11:13

Hi everyone. Hope you all enjoyed the weekend I've lived in muchty for 2 years now. Still dont know anybody. I've lacked in confidence for so long, then I realised i should take him to the monkeys as we weren't doing anything. The m&t scared me though!!!!

JennyfromtheBlock · 30/03/2009 18:34

Good on you for going tho. Whereabouts do you stay? I stay on the high road.
Well tomorrow Harris has his blood tests i'm dreading it. It's gonna be a nightmare as i'm taking Innes too, hope i don't have to wait for the results.
Also my mum phoned last night so everythings fine on the front.
And today for the first time i realised i feel good fingers crossed this is the start of things to come
Hope everyone else is well.

Hi Kirsty + Mhairi Welcome

Just a quickie to say hope everyone is well, glad to hear Harris is picking up - how did the blood tests go? I am a real wimp when it comes to taking ds to the doc's, I just want to cry in the corner.

minipink Any news on Abbie? Fingers crossed for you.

Dizzy Where are you these days?

to everyone else who might be around!

minipinkscottish · 31/03/2009 21:46

Hi Kirsty and welcome xx

PPC - still waiting on specialist appointment but I'm sure now everything is fine so I'm not worrying too much

Mhairi - I know what you mean about M+ T being scarey....I used to think that with dd1 and ds4 and I haven't been at all with Abbie. Maybe you, me and Jenny should start our own

Jenny - so glad you are feeling good and glad you and your mum are back on track ....hope all goes well tomorrow with blood tests.

Dizzy?????? Klaw ??????

minipinkscottish · 04/04/2009 07:18

hope everyone well and Jenny, finger's crossed for Harris' tests

dizzydixies · 19/04/2009 08:04

heating on for a touch here this morning as bit too chilly to be up this early

minipinkscottish · 19/04/2009 10:53

Hi dizzy hope your Easter break went well.

Back to work and school tomorrow (minipink jumps for joy and runs to put the flags out)

It's been a tough couple of weeks here. dd1 had sick bug for first 3 days of hols then the weather was crap...ds4 has been very TRYING....sleeping better with meds but all over the place in the day...he doesn't do to be out of usual routine ds1 has been in Spain with friends and is back today...oh joy washing!!!!
However, my lovely mum did all the school ironing last week and the sun is shining today so maybe it will be a good end to hols
Abbie has been great.....such a happy wee girl....not sleeping too good just now though due to teeth - still only 1....poor wee lamb.

Jenny hope all is well and Klaw where are you?

dizzydixies · 19/04/2009 12:01

sun shining here too minipink wishing you all the very best for your first day at school
