jan 2013- No, I will not have a new nappy

[OohQuack]

Ta daaaaa new home feel at home already.

[glorious]

Morning all. Wrote you a long post from Glasto then lost signal and it disappeared It was great! The kids field is super amazing!

In other news I'm writing this from hospital Yesterday I collapsed at a bus stop and then again in the ambulance. Got carted off to a and E and have had a stupid number of tests. Ecg a bit dodge and nobody can work out why I almost passed out and my heart went v v slow lying down in the ambulance. Either I need a pacemaker/an operation or I'm fine . Will hopefully know more later today.

[SnozzberryPie]

Oh no glorious I hope you are OK

[JuniperTisane]

Oh no Glorious that sounds awful. I hope you've got some answers by now. Glad you enjoyed Glastonbury.

Very quiet week here, just getting on with normal life. No more tantrums than usual. DH's birthday yesterday, he got a cake and some whisky and we had a sunday carvery somewhere family friendly. Thats about the highlight.

[glorious]

Hello, I'm still in hospital but gradually getting better. They're still not sure but it doesn't seem like anything urgent so current plan is another day of observation (I. E. Being prodded, they have just taken me off the machines) and then outpatient cardiology follow up. It's my birthday tomorrow

I really miss DD and am feeling quite sorry for myself. I'd feel a bit better if they would take my cannula out now it's not being used (I'm supposed to have yet more fluids but I'm not chasing them up!).

[LetThereBeCupcakes]

Oh glorious poor you! How miserable. But Happy Birthday! and for you!

In direct opposition to Juniper we've had the most manic week ever - Monday fine, Tuesday MIL had a heart attack so we had a 4-hour cross country drive to get to her. Wednesday headed back home (fortunately MIL doing really well) in the stifling heat. Thursday desperately trying to finish DS' pirate costume for Tumble Tots on Friday. Friday Tumble Tots and everybody else forgot to dress up . Saturday local petting zoo, plus people over in the evening. Sunday DS had a party and he bit a small child on the bottom . Monday Wildlife Park with DS. Phew!

Absolutely nothing on today so once I get home from work at lunch time I'm going to slob on the sofa and do not a lot.

[Dinesawwww]

Oh my goodness, Glorious, poor you :( Must have been a real fright as well. Glad you're feeling better and really hope you can go home soon. And hope they take the cannula out soon too, they're bloody uncomfortable. Has DD been in to visit you? Thinking of you and wish you a happy birthday for tomorrow

[Dinesawwww]

D'oh it's Tugs, forgot to name change again. Maybe I'll just keep this one.

Cupcakes hope your MIL is ok

[glorious]

Sorry about your MIL cupcakes. Bad week for hearts. I hope she's still improving.

Thanks both. DD has been in twice. She's surprisingly good in a crisis and had been to this a and E before with the childminder when the childminder's daughter broke her arm . She kept saying 'but mummy you not broken your arm, you bang your head'. I think she thought we needed a whole different hospital. She keeps saying 'I need to give mummy kiss and cuddle better' apparently.

Cannula still in along with 12 ecg electrodes and 3 monitor electrodes but it's much better than before!

[JuniperTisane]

Kisses and cuddles have an awesome power of their own to heal though don't they? I have to say it sounds bloody scary. I sincerely hope you feel much better soon.

Pirate costume sounds brilliant Cupcakes I bet DS didn't care whether anyone else was dressed up or not.

Dinesawwww your name reminds me of the bloody awful Dinopaws on cbeebies

DS1 goes to school again this afternoon. He's an old hand now.

[meringue33]

Oh Glorious how rotten hope you feel better soon and it's nothing serious. Has DH brought you some cake?

We're good thanks, slowly learning how to look after two at once! It's been much easier now am recovered from the mastitis and the temperature has dropped a bit - last week was awful! Had a lovely day yesterday when DS didn't have a single tantrum all day :O

[glorious]

Thanks juniper and meringue.

Juniper it was. Waking up on the pavement was awful, I had no idea where I was and the nice lady who helped me kept explaining what had happened. I had no idea i was going to pass out, I thought I was going to be sick and the next thing I knew I was waking up. It was worse in the ambulance though because I felt myself go and it was a surprise as I was lying down already. And I could tell that time my heart wasn't behaving. Also didn't enjoy it when they triaged me, did another ecg and wheeled me into resus to hook me up to a defibrillator (!) without explaining it was just a precaution rather than preparation for an imminent crisis! They were also all set to transfer me to the tertiary centre (i.E. the hospital that does the more difficult cardiac cases round here) until they rang a second consultant who was more relaxed than the a and E one.

Sorry that was long!

[LetThereBeCupcakes]

Oh Glorious poor you! I'd have been in a right state if it'd been me. Glad there was a nice lady to help you though.

[Tugstonia]

Blimey glorious that must have been so scary. V glad there was a nice lady with you. Bless your DD. Really hope you can go home soon, and yes hope DH brings you some .

Good to hear you're doing well meringue, and glad you're recovering from the mastitis. It's bloody horrible isn't it. How old is your DD now?

DD2 is still puking as much as ever but seems to be gaining lots of weight despite that. She's a very chilled, happy, smiley little thing, and is sleeping really well . We went away with PIL last week which was surprisingly really nice. Helped that the weather was lovely and we were by the sea. DD1 got loads of attention too.

We've not progressed much with potty training. I've been leaving her nappy off around the house and keep asking if she needs to use the potty or loo but she just says "nope" and then poos or wees on the floor . We'll get there eventually...

Snozz wow can't believe you're nearly halfway!

[glorious]

Thanks guys. The lady was great, as we're the paramedics and everyone in a and e. More mixed since then but that's the way round I'd prefer!

[SnozzberryPie]

Glorious that sounds terrifying. Hope you get out soon and celebrate your birthday properly.

[SnozzberryPie]

If I have this baby at the same gestation as dd, I'm already over halfway

[SnozzberryPie]

Dinesawwww is what George pig says, isn't it?

[SnozzberryPie]

Cupcakes hope your mil is OK too

[JuniperTisane]

Is it? No Peppa love here though so I have no frame of reference. When's it due Snoz?

[JuniperTisane]

the baby, not the cartoon pig

[SnozzberryPie]

Due at the start of December. Dd would love it if I gave birth to peppa pig

[JuniperTisane]

Two winter babies. Do you know the sex yet?

[glorious]

I'm home! Need a few more tests as an outpatient but all fine for now.

Chuckling at the thought of giving birth to Peppa. That snout would smart!

[SnozzberryPie]

No but I'll hopefully find out at the scan in a couple of weeks.

Great news, glorious!

[LetThereBeCupcakes]

Welcome home glorious

DS keeps banging on about "getting a baby. A GREEN one mummy".

Tugs DS was like that. Every single accident he's had has been litterally seconds after I've asked him if he needs the potty and he's refused.

Snozz Can't believe how quickly the scan's coming around. Hope you get to find out the gender.
