December 2012: Everyone loves nap time.

[halestone]

Started a new thread for us before we run out of room.

utopian dd1 was very much like that and used to wiggle in between us. Now it's a game and she still does it with much laughter.
mama T is also a nightmare at nappy changes - at the moment singing wind the bobbin up helps as likes to do the actions but I know it's only a temporary reprieve. Lots of changes are done with her standing on her change table looking at next doors fish or dog or them if they happen to be out there.

Today DS has a vomiting bug. Need I say more? He's supposed to be with XP but I've not sent him just in case we both then get the bug and we need to tag team parent.

My duvet is ruined, I washed my bedding yesterday and it's in a bin bag waiting to go back in. My fresh towel is covered in sick and I'd dressed DS in his best clothes to go out and they're also in a stinking pile in the bin bag. Siiiiiiigh!

The worst bit is that's he's full of beans. Just running around the house shouting and laughing with occasional vomit breaks.

Oh dear willyou.
I've got a cold and feel like crap - T was up every 2 hours last night I just fed her every time as it's the quickest way for me to get back to bed and she ate virtually nothing yesterday. Bet she'll expect the same tonight! I braved a walk in the woods this morning. The girls all had a fab time and T kept pointing at things and babbling away. So cute.
My friend just had a baby girl this morning -must have been the bouncy castle at the party yesterday. she's got 3 girls too now. Ahhh.

Oh no WillYou hope you don't get it.

I'm home now, got home in an hour and ten minutes I was worried about the motorway with both dc on my own incase we got stuck and they got upset but it was all fine.

Not nice willyou :( F has had it once, it came on in the middle if night - sick all over him, his bed and bedding, so bad he needed a bath at 1:30 in the morning. Then, once he was clean and dressed, he was sick again, all down his front and my cleavage! It was hideous. I hope your DS is better soon.

We've had a chilled out Sunday, and I'm really proud of F for eating falafals for tea, and a kiwi. he has taken to refusing all fresh fruit and veg which has really been getting me down, he just wants to eat carbs all the time!

He still can't keep bloody water down! We've been to the OOH who said just give him water and dime small amount should stay down. Mum n dad have gone out next door too so daughters are having a rave just bassy music really.

I'm done in and still have to do the bins, the sicky washing n the washing up. Good job I booked tomorrow off to do fun stuff eh?

Yum coffee
Yuk willyou! Poor you and ds. Are you giving him water by the syringe? That way you can have an accurate idea of how much has gone in. Dioralyte is good stuff.

Nothing's staying down, syringe no good. Been to OOH and they said to let him gulp down as much as he wants. Their reasoning is that if he takes in 100ml then he will probably keep 20ml down, which is better than nothing.

He's asleep now, he drank ~100ml and projectile vomited ~1L (not really but it looked like loads). My washer has been running non-stop.

I have diarolyte but last time I tried it he hated it. Currently miltoning all his cups just in case.

Poor little sausage. Poor you too, it's exhausting looking after an ill child and cleaning up endless vomit. Hope it passes quickly.

coffee DS can be a bit of a carb fiend. I figure since he is probably growing lots and is always moving he needs the fuel. He does love a bowl of berries though too.

willyou could they not give him an anti sickness injection?! That was the thing the dr in the states recommended for DS and it was a total godsend! Poor ds. I question the logic of giving him loads of water that he is bound to chuck up will he eat biscuits or anything? Hope you have a better night!

Night all.

Willyou i hope hes getting some relief from vomiting at the moment. Also i hope your ok and that you get some rest.

WL i hope your cold is over quickly.

Spotty, i love the pic on facebook.

H still doesn't each much of anything.

He's been asleep 2 hours now, the lovely little dude is well away. His breath smells like death though

I think the advice over here Nutella is that if it's a bug it needs to come out. Which I think is probably true, it may just delay the inevitable.

He can't eat anything, he would, but he's thrown up everything right down to all the bile and after that was gone he dry heaved. It's truly awful when they're ill. I think the water thing is because he's not kept anything at all down in 13h now and hasn't weed for 11. Got to stave off dehydration.

Hope you all get a good night, off to sleep for me in case it's an eventful one!

Will it ever stop? Two more vomits. He's desperate for a drink now.

Willyou poor little mite. I hope you've started to see some improvement.
I didn't go for the jab myself when I was ill with the same (kind of wished I had the next time I was hugging the toilet). I think the advice here would also be to "let it out" it's the watching them suffer bit I just couldn't do.

Poor little thing willyou, really hope that there's an improvement today.

After the copious vomiting at 2am he woke at 4:30 and kept a drink down! Then he woke every hour or so for another drink and has now had 2 cups of water! He has a v high temperature now though, which he didn't have earlier. He threw up the calpol but I think that was because he was crying too much.

WillYou fx that's the end of the vomiting.

At the party yesterday I found out that chicken pox has been going around nursery, and I can't decide whether it would be good for A to get it now or not.

We've not got much planned today, so I need to drag a trip to the library and bath time out to fill as much of the day as I can.

DS is devouring a slice of toast and making yummy yummy om om om noises. Even if he throws it up at least he's had the pleasure of eating it!

Glad he's feeling better WillYou.

I've got an appt for 10 this morning for dd (I love my drs surgery!).

Ds is being awful atm serious separation anxiety

So glad willyou

Well there goes the toast! Day in bed for us me thinks! He's much worse than yesterday. Yesterday he was sick but was okay in himself. Today he's burning up, floppy and lethargic and very upset. He can keep water down but nothing else.

Oh no! Sounds awful WillYou

Dd has antibiotics and two inhalers

Poor baby Willyou.. Are you going back to Docs do you think? Our friends told us the whole family x4 had a gastro bug all week. Didn't tell us until AFTER we spent the afternoon at their house- aargh!!

Spotty did you get blue and brown? How is DD at having the inhaler?

Sleep training commenced at the weekend as we have always put DS down asleep after his bottle. Last couple of weeks it's been taking an hour + so I decided he has to go in his cot awake now. It's going ok though. It's our fault for not doing it months ago DS just needs to learn to self settle. Oh how I wish I had done it when he was much much younger but hey you learn by mistakes!! I'd be so much wiser with another baby now!!!

Willyou i hope your both ok. Go back to the drs if your worried at all especially if you think he's becoming dehydrated.

Spotty have the Drs said that its asthma?

Maryland i still havn't braved sleep training. I lie in the cot next to her and get out when shes asleep. Touch wood its only about 10-15 minutes now.

Beasty, i hope A doesn't get them yet unless you want him to get them now.

I did sleep training about 3 months ago Maryland. It went much better than earlier attempts when he was younger, he just got it.

He's drinking water and I've been to get some rocket lollies. If he's no better tomorrow then I'll go back to the doctors.

Hope the inhalers work and DD's cough gets sorted.

How's H Hales?
