November 2012 - silence used to be golden. Now it is worrying

[Passmethecrisps]

Just so we all feel at home

Last clue: he will be fair of face.

Eliza I need all sorts apparently: Ranitidine to reduce stomach acid, Clexane injection to prevent clots, and I have to get measured for support stockings.

Don't all planned surgeries need a pre-op appointment? Or are you referring to something else?
20th April then? Or 27th? It has to be a Monday :)

20th then :)

Monday!?....can't work out date. Whatever pikz said!

Goes back to 20th prediction.

Yep Grace was correct from the start with the 20th April. But I thought we'd better have a bit of fun after I denied the quiche the opportunity of a sweepie.

Yippeeeeeeee!

That's a lovely sounding date Stunt. Less than a month, how exciting.

The dog has pooed in the house three times today which seems rather excessive.

Gross. Does he usually do that? If not I'd assume something is wrong.

DS had his 6-8 wk check today even though he's 10 wks tomorrow. He has to go for a hip scan. I'd not noticed anything wrong with his hips. Ah well. It's something I've not had to do with the other 2. Another thing to tick off the list!

DD1 had one of those Eliza but can't remember why. It was fine though they were just being cautious. Hope the same will happen for you x

L had one because he was breech. It takes seconds and they tell you there and then if they are ok

Thanks ladies. The dr asked if he was breech. He wasn't at the end but he was in the breech position for a lot of the pregnancy.

Lil had one because she kept going breech - it was all fine and she slept through the scan. Lots of luck wee Manny xx

Check out FB for baby pics.

Congratulations stunt

Yy DD1 had the hip scan due to being breech so much. I remember now (with the help of her health notebook) when the paed moved her legs in a cycling mode when she was about 6 weeks she noticed that something seemed a bit off, but I can't read her notes in her health book. Anyway, scan was fine.

grace do you live on a farm? We do, keep sheep (and a couple of naughty horses!)

stunt good luck with the section, and congratulations! Do you know what you're having?

wizard sort of. We have built a house in the middle of the family farm. But we have taken advantage of some gov't grants to re Forrest about 8 acres and then plough a bit up for veg. Most of the rest of the land is now rented out to local farmers. Not sure how much there is all together as seems to be dotted about everywhere.

Congrats stunt awaiting your birth story! Did you go in for a check or did it all happen and you went in as an emergency.

Love love a birth story.

Just had a first. Dropped Ds1 off climbing. And left him. On his own. At a club.

Sitting here biting nails.

Evening all!

Thought i ought to post before you all drop off my recent threads

Not a lot has been occurring in the pig house. Variable sleep. Much chat. Swimming.

Lovely to see pics of the latest quiche baby - who's next? Kyz can't have much longer?

All da babies are crying on the maternity ward. It sounds like a bag of cats out there!

:o bag of cats.

Hope you got some sleep stunt

That brings me back to the day that DD1 was born. Just the sound of crying babies ringing in your ears. Any idea when you'll be discharged? is it just a question of making sure he's feeding well?

When's your uk trip gg. Soon?

It's a bit packed here so the staff are completely overloaded. I ended up sitting in a puddle of blood and urine for ages yesterday after my catheter backed up because the bag was full. At least four people came in to the bay and noticed the bag but by the time someone came to remove it the catheter had already popped out on its own. I realise they're super busy but I thought that was pretty unreasonable. I wish they would discharge us today because I suspect I would be better off at home snuggling DS4 in the warmth and getting lots of skin to skin rather than having him bundled up in towels to keep him warm.
