June 2007 - Nearly have our first new sib, come on Daisy!

[Bumperlicious]

Hello

you wouldn't holly, it's hell on earth sometimes, what with all the in-breeding and that

Have just had a defining parenting moment - had a chat with DS1 about wet dreams this is where I prove myself to be a seriously crap mummy. and where is DH in my hour of need? cooking.

Poor you Daisy
It must feel like deja-vu with the thrush.

Isn't there some kind of diet you can follow to help with thrush, I think Stormy may have done it.

got nystatin for Finbo as they don't give daktarin for LOs younger than 3mo any more....although I have some in the house. Is it better than nystatin? He really didn't like the taste of that

I've also got canesten and have taken a 150mg fluconazole tablet. Hopefully that will kick in quickly. I'm really dreading his next feed.

But, thankfully I have felt reasonably well today and been out for a bit and feel quite well rested (got a four hour stretch last night)

and I have green and black's chocolate

i think cutting out yeast and sugary things is the key, but I have such a sweet tooth when BFing.

There was me thinking it would be a breeze this time. But, at least if we can nip it in the bud right now then it should pass quickly; DD was nearly 6mo before I was clear of it last time. I'm pissed off that the GP wouldn't give me the tabs though and the good GPs are on holiday.

Oh dear Ria. I always defer to DH on all things "winkle" related on the grounds that I don't know as I don't have one. I feel your pain.

daisy. I don't think it reflects on your peer supporting ability rhough - a) how many peer supports are sctively supporting when they have a week old LO, and b) you haven't eactly got an element of distnace in your judgement. I know nothing of thrush but take it easy. x

see, told you I was traumatised, my typing's crapper than normal.

I think I managed it well , have been hinting at it for a while with him, but he came right out with the words (he is embarrassed they are doing reproduction in science), I wasn't specific, it was a quite a general chat about changes that happen and that children (he thinks they are too young to know bless him) are given the information to process not use, and he can ask us anything however embarrassing, same with his GPs (but not to ask them about sex as they would find it embarrassing as it wasn't taught in their day and it was for married people then), and if he needs to talk about the embarrassment factor ask Dad cos he's been there!
I am stuck really, dsis thinks we weren't told enough hen we were young (I managed to find out all I needed to know thatks!) so Dniece is far more clued up than I think is necessary. I did tell him to ask auntie if he wanted details we won't tell him!

sometimes I think it's easier to work through his theory on God's creation of the world versus the big bang theory, whilst doing tesco/negotiating traffic lights!

I know Ria, that's what DH is telling me; (Mr D ever the voice of reason) and DD never ever had any mouth thrush symptoms, so I'd never seen it before.

DH is being a star so I'm going to big him up this evening . He has looked after me really well this week, done all the shopping, cooking and cleaning, changing of nappies big and small and has even been sleeping downstairs with the LO and only bringing him to me when he needed feeding. And he has bought me chocolate and sweets every day.....and what's more we have had a laugh as well, getting on like a house on fire......he's not getting near me for ever ages though so I hope this isn't just his version of foreplay

Daisy Its shit isn't it? Really feel for you. I'll get better don't forget. Its one of those sore/exhausting/tearful times.

I don't know if daktarin is any better, but if it soothes him, I'd use it personally.

Ria, do please tell us about it (some of us will be making notes for future use )

It'll get better.

I'm sure I will too, but that's not what I meant.

Bed time, I think.

Your photos are lovely. (wearing bloody earrings to give birth, I don't know...)

DH home now (not nearly as attentive - in the ways that matter - as your DH), must tell him what he's missed.

one has standards to maintain ria

I even had a bit of slap on as well, and ended up with that one eye bare, one all smudged eyeliner like after a really rough night on the tiles

classy

holly thats shit about you DH, your right they cant just sack him, unless he was on a temporary contract which i doubt it if like you say he has been with the company for years

Daisy dont beat yourself up, its one of those things, you dont know about it till you've been though it.
dont forget you tired, and sore too, lots of hugs and love for you!

my friend who was having the baby due at the same time as my first mc, has gone into labour today at only 20 weeks. i am really scared for her, but because she is 19+6 they wont see her at the labour ward as she is still classed as early pregnancy. so she is sitting in the EPU, being told that her baby is going to die and there is nothing they can do cos they dont have equipment to deal with labour this early on.
wtf? seriously! they wont even give her steroids for the babies lungs. i am very worried, and in shock. was so sure everything was going to be fine now she had passed 12 weeks
bless her

sorry for your friend Natty , what a horrible situation to be in.

Just popping in quickly - did anyone get spam emails from me today/yesterday? I think my computer may have a virus or something as it may have sent out spam to all my contacts. I havent opened them but they have weird titles about spending a penny etc!!
Sorry!!!!

Oh Natty - how terrible for your friend - I cant imagane going through that.

for your friend natty.

That's terrible for your friend Natty

We went to a garden centre & farm shop place today and they had a playground. I put jamlet on the roundabout and DH pushed her round gently which she loved Then he speeded it up and I was worried, but she was OK, then he speeded up again and I was horrified except that before I'd even registered that emotion she was thrown off She fell face down a couple of yards from the roundabout. I was all at once. She was OK apart from a graze above her eyebrow once I'd cleaned all the mud off her face, but it was awful the way she was thrown off and landed on the floor like a rag doll . I know DH felt awful too and it was an accident, but I was so with him, for getting carried away and being so bloody stupid. I really had to control myself to let him near us at first I was so cross. Sorry, I know I've made mistakes too which have lead to accidents, but I am finding it really hard to stop being about this. I'm hoping that venting on here will help, even though I feel terribly disloyal to DH.

Poor jamlet; I hope she is OK.

Try not to feel too disloyal jammy; what you have experienced is the full force of your maternal feelings and it isn't something that you had any control over. You would have felt like this no matter who was responsible. iyswim?

i agree with daisy jammy, i feel like that myself when DH hurts the kids accidentally.

my friends labour has stopped, and although she has no waters they are sending her home.
im confused, is it ok to have no waters around your baby?
well anyway she says baby is kicking along merrily, so im pleased, if she can just get 4 more weeks, then the baby stands a chance. fingers crossed.

any one get stuck in awful weather today? my god cant member last time i got that soaked!

Don't feel too bad Jammy, and remember, he won't do it again.

Fingers crossed for your friend Natty.

I have made my first Princess Cake, as a practice run for the volcano and Barbie ones I need to make for next week . I am rather impressed with it, I must say. It is now being smeared on my left arm by cake-fiend baby. Suppose I had better attend to the mess.

foxy you are a domestic goddess! best ive done is a 2 shaped cakes for toms birthday (that looked awful!)

where is everyone then? arent u all sad mumsnet obsessives like me? maybe u got a family to look after i dont know...

Fingers crossed for your friend and her baby Natty. I hope they told her to take it easy.
