April 2007 - when the contents of your baby's nose are interesting, you know you need a night out!

[JoMa]

keep it clean please Katy

Hi Katy - sorry I disappeared on you earlier...had to do some housework. How are you?

Hi Oooggs

Arse to a not sleeping baby Dippy, for a change mine is asleep

I was 28% tart I too have a led a pretty sheltered life.

Awwww, bless us Ange!!

How very virtuous you both are!

Hope P sleeps soon CD. K has been cat napping all morning and hasn't been settled, but seems ok now. Contemplating taking her to baby clinic to be weighed as have no idea how much she is as hasn't been weighed for 2 weeks!

Earache seems to have gone thank God - good old Anadin Extra!

Virtuous?? Me??

Glad K ok SOKL go on get her weighed, would love to know how much she weighs now. Glad ear ache has gone...what would we do without pain killers.

Virtuous!!?

Have swaddled P & put her in her crib - it's taken a while, but she seems to have gone off to sleep now - So I am houseworking & popping in here! Don't like having to swaddle her etc during the day though .... like to reserve such measures for nightime routine, iykwim!!?

Oh well, needs must & all that....

Go to Clinic while you have got the chance, SOKL - I'm never going to get rhe chance; but I'd like to know how much P weighs. Maybe I'll stick her in a bowl on top of the kitchen scales!!?

Just got the name change Ellie, for a minute I thought u were Mammyjo.

Thanks for the email and of course LEEDS would be totally fine, and I think that I could speak on behalf of Nutty and Lesley and assume that they could make it too?

Have emailed back, with ideas, there are quite a few places I would have in mind, as per email.

As for the tart thing I had quite a lot of morals when younger (don't know what happened since?) so I would imagine that I would also have quite a low score. Made up for it in other ways though lol.

Anyway you are a very brave lady undertaking such a huge mission!

Ladies let me know how the Omega 3 experiment is going x

And doidy cup for me too please Dippy.

Let me know how to "proceed".

Hello ladies, long time no-post,

Well thank you to elliek because without you i wouldn't have a clue about what has been going on on these threads!

I don't want to sound like the voice of doom and gloom but things have been going from bad to worse in the bubblez household.

First there was all the trips to and from the hospital for jaundice checks for T.

Then T.V broke (doing dodgy things with the picture)

Then dp (bless him) tried to 'improve' our computer by 'cleaning' it up and making run faster, which resulted in..... A broken pc! (on dad's laptop now)

which meant no mumsnet to help me with what came next...

Pregnancy....... I've typed and erased this section about three times over debating whether I should say it or not, but in the end i have decided that as I haven't discussed it in RL with many ppl it might prove to be a relief to let it all out...

Not last thursday but the thurday before, I took a pregnancy test (was being careful sex wise so had no reason to think that I would be pg only tested becuse T was 10wks and still no AF) and it was a BFP . Almost as soon as i tested i started to bleed and get cramps, called doc, doc tested my stomach and was tender so sent me to hospital (suspected ectopic).. Hospital kept me for 5days and 4 nights, testing hormones, doing scans, until they could finally rule out ectopic pregnancy and came to the conclusion that the pg was in the right place... (T was 11wks by then) docs also came to the conclusion that i was 6wks gone and having a threatend miscarriage....

here is the part that i'm struggling with, cos of timing and the fact that i was on the slimfast diet and eating all the things i shouldn't have been, still bleeding a getting pain, hormones were only rising 66%, the effect it would have had on my other two lo's i decided not to go through ith the pg.... I know i did it for the right reasons and when i went for the last scan the pg as still messuring 6wks (it hadn't grown) but i still feel sad about it and sick iwith myself for not being strong enough to go through iwth the pg.

Now im in recovery from the proceedure and am unable to do a lot of things (pick up my dd1 etc)

oh and to top it all off the car broke donwn another expence and something else to go rwong... and now the 'wwwwwwwwwwwwww' on the laptop isn't woking properly so i may have just broken my dads laptop i think i may cry]

Gonna reboot the laptop and hopefully ill be back on soon to catch up.... soz to be doom and gloom...

take care
xzx

oh bubblez
So sorry to hear all that, you're really having a hard time of it. It sounds as though you did the best thing from everything you said about bleeding / cramps etc.
Be kind to yourself and look after yourself, let your DH sort out all the other stuff, starting with the PC so you can get back on here

Dippy, you must be shattered, hope P stays settled.

Danny seems to be doing everything in very short bursts, snacking and cat napping etc. As a result, I'm just getting round to eating lunch but someone's just squeaking from his moses basket, feeding time I think!

bubblez, my sweet - {{{{{{{{hugs}}}}}}] I've not much time to post cos P has just woken up & is demanding a feed pronto!! You really have been through a right time of it - I don't have the right words to say, expect that I am glad you could come here and be honest about everything that has happened - I admire that. More {{{{{{hugs}}}}} We are all here for you.....

Pinions - Email me - captain_dippy "at" yahoo "dot" co "dot" uk about the Doidy Cup - I am offering them for £3 each (inc P&P) Will post re: colour when I am working tomorrow pm Cheques accepted!

I am shattered Elkie!! Tis hard when they won't settle .....

Right, gotta buzzzzzzzzzz

bubblez, what happened with the jaundice exactly? We had a similar thing, but he only had it very mildly, if you're up to telling the story I'd be interested to know xx

hi katy one hand typing v.bad

bubblez I am thinking of you and hope you are ok

hi ange >>> sorry dashed off early to my mums with the three darlings, dh was revising - will be glad when exam over

Hi..

Bubblez so sorry to hear that everything has gone a wee bit pear shape - you must be knackered. You have made the right decision - your decision and you shouldn't worry anymore about something that wasn't to be. Glad that you could post what you have been going through, I hope that has helped to write it down. Take care x

I hope the hospital appointment went OK today for your leaky??

I agree maveta osteopathy is very strange.... But I am convinced it works - well after paying £40 of course it did! No seriously all my babies have had it and did make an improvement as with me when my hips were put out after baby no 2. Has the bfeeding worked out?? Are you in the blissful stage now - no pain and enjoyable??

Congratulations on your engagement Yvie - sensible to take time over wedding though - don't think they they do bfeeding wedding dresses!

Hope P sleeps for you capdip - mine is also awake at 5am some mornings - kills me but she is so cute at the time, all full of baby talk and smiles.

Full on here as usual! Have now put the house on the market as we have an eye on another one that is fab - plenty of room and things like 2 bathrooms (which we so need), utility room and off street parking - heaven! So fingers crossed for us please - where we live is a nightmare for 2nd homeowners and there is nothing much on the market for families - will have a complete fit if a retired couple move up from down South and buy it . So have spent the morning decluttering so to have the photos taken for the estate agents. Kids will be wondering where their stuff has gone- I like the space so will see if they notice first before I bring it back!!

Trying to organise S's passport - we are off to Paris for 4 days, just with her and DP (not the BIG kids!) in a few weeks. Can't wait as DP has not had any days off since she was born, so it will be nice for him to spend time with her. I just want her to wear all the cute summer clothes as no chance here so far this summer.

I had better go - meant to be working! My doula (who still comes to help as I have no one else ) has taken the baby for a walk to pick up kids from school and here I am on MN - ahhhhhhh!

hi ooooggs still 1 handed here

Oooooooh hi zazas!! P is up at 5 every morning atm - bit of a killer, but we survive!! Paris sounds wonderful - who's havin' the big 'uns!!?

bubblez, I don't think we've talked as I really haven't posted very much until Easter, but I'm sorry to hear you're having such a rough time.

Hope everything goes really smoothly with new house too - you deserve it!! What a FAB Doula you have too - gotta get me one of those!!?

Two-handed typing again - hurrah - P just took BIG feed & has vom-ed all over my shoulder - yum - She's looking pretty darn pleased with herself though!!

CD - no S is only up every other morning at 5am - actually I am so tired I am not so sure about that - maybe it is most mornings but it definitely wasn't yesterday it was 7.30am and consequently the kids were late to school - not a reliable alarm clock! I think it is the light and the birds.

The big kids are with their other parents - happens every year for one week around this time They are off to France and Holland so not to be left out....... so are we having a break!

Oooooh, meant to say earlier .....

P SMILED TODAY!!!!!!!

A lovely big beaming one right at me - I was sooooo delighted!! Makes it all worth while.....

Bubblez, what an awful time you have had. So sorry to hear all the news and hope that things get better for you.

Just had K weighed. She is 11 pounds, and has only put on 10 ounces in 2 weeks. Noone seemed concerned tho, so I am not worried.

She is in a shit mood though.

Ooooh, how lovely - enjoy!!

You sound as brain dead as me!!!

So is P, SOKL - conspiring!!?

Pinions, meant to say I bought the fruit burst omega 3 things and sadly B tried it and spat out. I tried one and thought it was ok tbh. Will now try the liquid form in her juice when I get around to buying some.

I am sure some foods now have omega 3 incorporated in to it as well.
