hey everyone!
happy birthday bloss - hope your DH spoils you rotten, you certainly deserve it! how is T doing with the poo bum?
HC how is em with her sicky and soph with the cough?
Mae you are doing brilliantly! and you can feel sorry for yourself whenever you like tbh
Annie how are things with DH? we were on soya milk for jacob for a while as he gets really congested with cows milk, but we've tried him on lactofree (lactose removed from cows milk) which you can buy fresh or long life and he seems absolutely fine on it. also i have heard the paw paw stuff is brilliant too. def worth a try i reckon. alternatively (long shot though i think) cranial osteopathy?
sorry not to have been on for so long but our laptop has died been reincarnated died and now been fixed properly (fingers crossed!) so back online again! thanks for asking after me everyone!
jacob has had a really horrid chest infection which he has kindly given to me and is now really a head cold but is just doing me in... he is o n2nd lot of antibiotics and is shaking it kind of but.....
about cough mixtures we find that the tyxilix (sp) baby syrup still works fine for jacob and the night time stuff is dreadful - it's supposed to help sedate them a bit but it was the worst nights sleep - he woke up at 1030 and wouldn't go back to sleep till 230! and we are still co-sleeping when he wakes up in the night, although we have had 3 nights of sleeping all the way through, but going to sleep is a major issue at the moment - MUST be held till asleep WILL NOT go in cot even slightly awake, and will not fall asleep till 8pm. but he is sleeping all the way through till 6 having some milk and then going back to sleep till we wake him up.
napping is down to about 1 hour a day at 120 precisely EVERY day!!! he will go for longer sometimes but am trying to cut it down to less than 1 hour to try and get him sleeping before 8pm....
scan yesterday on sam - all absolutely fine and he's on around the 45th centile growth wise which is brilliant - jacob never got anywhere near that . he is a real kicker - jacob was a wriggler but sam just boots all the time! i had a little plate leavning o nthe edge of the bump the other evening and he pretty much kicked hard enough to shove the plate away! anyway, when he was being scanned he did a few massive kicks making the bump move madly - the sonographer was v surprised. said he'll be number 9 or 10 for all blacks, whichever his brother isn't. and as for jacob - looking up coquetishly from under his long lashes and fringe at the sonographer little flirt!!!!
so the consultants are hopeful i'll get to 32 weeks if not slightly longer [fingers and toes crossed emoticon] and b pressure is still under control (just about) so all ok on that front.
dh in ny at partnership conference till arriving back on sunday morning - the only good thing is he's getting the overnight flight on sat night so one less evening to get slaughtered! actually he's buying me loads of cosmetics out there and picking u pthe last ralph lauren shop i did online in the sale that is waiting at their NY office so there are a few more good things about the trip!
anyway, must go you've probably all fallen asleep
hc and ceebee keep going with ttc - ceebee when we counted we found that going for a couple more days after when ovulation was supposed to have been actually ended up doing the trick!
hi to everyone i've missed - sorry pregnabrain is in gear along with the nasty head cold!
