Kangaroo Mama's (aka missed out on NCT group)

[Valdeeves]

How's your Monday ladies?
I am Mumsnetting for five mins after
swimming lesson (wrestling other child poolside) soft play and Stay and Play. These kids want more! Need five mins to switch my brain off.
We are watching Nina and The Neurons - that girl clearly does her own hair and make up.

[Valdeeves]

How's he doing this morning MMama? Are you ok? You must be feeling tired.
I just clicked on your earrings - they are fab - where are they from?
Knee is still sore, got music group for my oldest today then probably go for a coffee as its raining - AGAIN!

[MultipleMama]

Val - they're from Theo Fennell there's some really lovely stuff on there :)

Still waiting on a bed on the children's ward (5 hours in A&E cubicle ) they said they'd have one for him at 10am but at the minute they have him sedated on CPAP (he was fighting too much) and antibiotics but hope to release him this afternoon. Hopefully. My dad is still here so he's looking after them for me and DH has managed to wrangle a half day at work so he'll be arriving soon.

Thanks ladies xx

Hope you have a lovely day despite weather!

[livenlet]

Poor little man and poor you too, Thank god your dad came for your birthday, prepair your self (just in case) to be keeped in for night as they have him sedated hope they find you a bed soon , you should get a private room as he is a prem baby,

[MultipleMama]

If d

[MultipleMama]

If dad wasn't here we have In laws 40 minutes away if needed but as we're sort of having communication problems with them, I'm glad dad is here.

Halo is still sedated as he took a little turn for the worse when his throat swelled but he's on meds for that. He's still on CPAP and they've asked that Artie stay in also just as a precaution.

How was your day, ladies?

[MultipleMama]

Halo is now home from hospital! He's on antibiotics for his chest and pain relief as he has literally cried himself raw and has lost his voice. When feeding he stresses and desats they've noticed it happend more when he swallows and must be causing him pain. He's gotta take the anti's for 10-14 days and the pain relief until no longer needed.

Hope everyone is having a lovely weekend! :)

[Pipsmilkmaid]

That's good he's home. Must of been scary.
I'm looking forward to spring and the end of rsv season.

[MultipleMama]

Very scary. I've had to turn around the monitor on a night because I kept staring at, the sounds he makes when sleeping are horrible and it's like I'm constantly aware of every breath he takes, I've had to ask DH to swap sides of the bed because I know I'll never sleep by checking his monitors all the time.

I am so ready for RSV season to be over too! :)

[livenlet]

Glad your little man is home

[Valdeeves]

MMama how's he doing tonight? Thinking of you xxxx

[MultipleMama]

He's doing better, the pain relief is helping so much with feeding and it makes him sleepy. Bonus! Still very fussy and makes himself stressed when he tries to cry because it irritates his throat so now he constantly whimpers. We've moved Artie from the co-sleeper to the snuggle nest so Halo isn't disturbed during sleep.

[livenlet]

So glad hes a little better hope you manage to get some sleep tonight.
Valdeeves good luck tomoro

Good morning ladies, what a beautiful day!

How is everyone? Any plans?

DH & BiL have taken K, A and the boys along with BiL's kids to Hauptstadt Zoo so I am having a baby and me day. I plan to do nothing but lounge in front of the fire with duvets. The calm seems to be working as Halo is, for the first time ever, relaxed on his back hypnotized by the coloured lights on his play mat. Artie is army crawling all over the floor

[Valdeeves]

I ran the half marathon guys - but now I have the problem that I can't physically walk - and I mean I really can't!

[MultipleMama]

Congratulations, Val, bloody brilliant! :) Have a nice long soak in the bath and ice your legs 15mins on and off - I used to do this after Ice Hockey matches and it seems to help, a good rub helps too. I hope walking is more bearable tomorrow for you!! :)

[Bankholidaybaby]

Hello, my boy was born at 33+1 in a very rapid and unexpected fashion! He's now 27 weeks old and doing very well.

Weaning to solids is proving to be challenging as, although he loves the purées I'm giving him at lunch time, he's rarely awake for more than 90 minutes at a time, and has unpredictable naps (sometimes very short, sometimes hours) so it's hard to get milk and solids into him before he wants to sleep, and if I wait until after he's napped, it could be 3pm when he has his lunch. So, I tend to do a bottle at 12.30-1pm, then wait 15 minutes, then purée 1.15-1.45pm, then nappy change and sleep.

I haven't tried breakfast yet, despite having been doing solids for three weeks now, as he doesn't wake up until 8.30am and by the time he's had a bottle and been washed and dressed, it's 9.45-10am and he wants to sleep again!

Does anyone else have a super-sleepy solid-eater?

[MultipleMama]

Bankholidaybaby - My preemies are months away from BLW but hopefully some of the lovely ladies on here have some tips/advice for you.

Halo gave DH his first smile today, kinda miffed it wasn't me, though. I keep trying to get him to smile and he just gives me this "look". He's such a Vava's boy! :)

[Pipsmilkmaid]

Morning all.
Well done Val hope your legs are ok today. Sounds like you had a lovely day yesterday Multiple.
Welcome Bankholiday I started blw the beginning of feb we do fruit purée and fingers in the morning around half 8 then again around half 3 unfortunately I can't advise on a sleepy baby ds is very alert, as total strangers never stop telling me but I gave him food when he seemed most interested in what I was doing. Now he tries to take mine out my hands constantly and likes to feed himself with a preloaded spoon.

[missali]

Morning all! Exciting morning here as we go on hols tomorrow...I'm making lists of all the things W may need in the hope I don't forget anything!
Will regards to weaning, W has been on puréed food for about 10 weeks now as he has reflux so was weaned early. He is only now showing interest in wanting to feed himself, so we sit him in the high chair whilst we eat and he has banana and cucumber to play with..

[MultipleMama]

My children are evil. Haven't had more than an hours straight sleep since 10pm, it's now 4.15am. I want sleep :( Don't you hate cranky children?

[livenlet]

Hello ladies, were of to get jabs today the little one is really not a people person let alone people with needles ..

[MultipleMama]

I hope the jabs go well. Halo isn't a people person either and hates others near him.

You've also just reminded me to write down when the DC jabs are due - Germany jabs are weird...
