Jan/Feb 2011 Mommies (Nov & Dec 2010 early babes)

MommyN- try stopping the Vidaylin, now the girls mention it i recently stopped giving it to the boys and Jono has been much better

Hi Twinbee, welcome to a very nice thread, we really are a good bunch of mommies. Wow, there really are a lot of multiples in this thread! Sorry about your post birth experience, I hope you are fully recovered now!

gals, not too many personals from me, I want to try to catch a nap just now. Not because of Nathan, but because of Sarah! THe last week has just been hectic day and night (especially tiring) and eventually I took her to the paed today - her first middle ear infection! Partly due to teething and allergies again. So we are now on celestimine for 3 days and then will see if an anti-biotic is needed. So she is 18 months old and still not had an anti-biotic - hows that! She is napping for now...

Nathan is good, although still suffering from cramps. Argh! Everyday I think I'll stop the Bennetts Colic Mix, and then 5 or 6pm comes and he is so uncomfortable. Today I have had to give him some now at 2pm (first time so early). He hardly sleeps during the day - if we go out he naps in the car - if he is not hungry - but wakes the minute you stop - before I even get out of the car - just like Sarah! I am blessed with 2 wide awake kids. LOL. But at least Sarah has been sleeping well at night - except for the last week.

I want to try to pop into Dischem or clicks tomo to have him weighed. He was last 3,92 kgs at 11 weeks. I am not even sure what the average is. I learnt not to compare with Sarah, today she weighed 7,9kg - and I thought we had reached the 8kg mark! Nathan is in number 2 nappies and some days she is in number 3s! He is going to be the same size as her this year still!

They both keep me real busy!

Nathan is smiling and loves to be tickled, he is very ticklish! He is enjoying his play gym and musical things!

I sat under the trees on saturday and sunday, even fed him under the trees and he loved it! It was so nice, Sarah was running around and digging in the garden, DH was watching cricket or potting around and actually read a bit!

AFM, still battling with the blues some days, but am thinking more positive and and will start affirmations again soon. DH goes away for a week and even though I do everything with the kids (as in just about EVERYTHING), I will still miss just someone being there in the evenings and nights. Oh well...

I will write my birth experience oneday... I think I will write out both Sarah's and Nathan's birthing process to remind myself what a miracle it is!

Girls, I am so scared to start looking for a job towards the end of this year. I can't see our savings lasting forever and I'll have to return sooner or later. I cant think of anything I could do at home! I try not to worry, but its easier said than done. DH has thought about selling our house and moving somewhere bigger, but we need to do a few things here first and re-doing the tiling is one of the things! I want to run away! Really!

Seem to be feeling better with regards to the healing process, but I must admit I am still eina if I do too much (like sorting out our garage, although now my car also fits into the garage - yay!). And at least the spotting is not too bad, getting there!

Had to visit the dentist yesterday. She asked if I would like to come back for the work to be done, and I said I think so and she looked at me, and said no, lets do it now... I think she saw the look on my face. A major filling and 3 sealings. Naughty me for not flossing and skipping the dentist last year. At least I can drink a cold drink now without having to use a straw... my teeth were really sore!

Ok, enough moans and groans...

All the mommies dealing with cramps - just about all of us - its almost time for this to pass...

Sorry not too many personals now... I promise to try come on more often again. But I do read all the posts and think of you all often!

Bye for now!

Thanks chris, felt so sorry for you and your husband when dh told me that your dh had to take your babies home whilst you were still in hospital. Hope you're fully recovered now too and enjoying your babes.

Sorry I have to rephrase, Dr nagar practically shed a tear telling us about you when we had asked how you were doing (sorry, not sure if it came out that way).

its good to hear you and babies are doing well.

Carmen, glad you enjoying Mishka!

Suriya, great to hear the dr browns bottles are working!

How is everyone today?

Hi chris, yes dr nagar was a real blessing in disguise- dont think i would have made it without him- he really fought for me- he says i was the most difficult case in his career. He's really sweet. Was so sorry to hear about your probs too- funny i was so worried about the babies. Never expected anything to go wrong c myself. At least its all over now but difficult to think i cant remember the d my babies were born and i couldn't breastfeed but we are very lucky , no actually blessed, to have such easy babies.

Twinbee!! So glad to hear you are ok!! It was quite a scare and spoke to your hubby at the hospital I just got goose bumps, how are you feeling? Dr Nagar practically shed a tear in my room cos I was also admitted again with septicemia, dh and I kept asking how you were, welcome to the forum! Its a great place to share and gain advice and to just vent if need be Ho is the family?

Yes vix he was actually the one who realised something was wrong after the cs- he noticed my pulse was high and he contacted the dr. I was then moved to high care and he was contacted late that night to say my hb 3- i'm going back into theatre. He has been helping me c everything- feeding, bathing, changing etc.
