WAITING ... WAITING ... WAITING ...
2 Days to go ... hopefully then we'll know
Daddy's hoping for another girl
But Mommy wants a boy's thrill!
30 OCTOBER 2007
Couldn't see what we're having when I had my u/s on Friday, 26 October. SOOOOOOOO disappointed. Next visit only scheduled for 30NOVEMBER2007. Don't know if I'll be able to wait that long!!
20 November 2007
Feeling so depressed today ... hubby and I had a HUGE fight. One of those where the crap for the past year comes out. He doesn't understand what I'm going through!! I wonder if i'll cope being a single mom of 2??
At least my 4 yr old daughter and this little busy-body in my tummy keeps me going. H/She has been kicking up a storm since yesterday. Had my 4yr old listening to my stomach and she said: "Mommy, my sister told me that she wants a doll for Christmas"
29 November 2007
My appointment is tomorrow!!!! Can't wait!!!! This baby better be showing his/her behind to the doc!

Hallo Ladies!!!!
I had my boy on 28 February 2008. I was booked off from 26 Jan with Hypertension.
Birth: My little prince was born at 18:15, tipped the scale at 3.3kg's and was 52cm tall. He got full marks (10/10) for his APGAR test. Mommy was also doing OK at the time, but had a week from hell afterwards. No joke ladies - I always thought the C-section is easier (because it wasn't so bad with my first one) but hell ..... if I could, I would have definitely rather done the natural thing.
Any way, little Werner started with full-blown colic at the age of two weeks. He turned 14 weeks yesterday and guess what? When they tell you it "blows over" at three months - don't believe it!! I haven't had a decent night's sleep for almost 4 months and it's really getting to me. I have tried everything from giving him Cream Soda to placing something warm on his tummy but it's just not getting any better. The doctor told me not to worry ... it should blow over. Easy for them to say ...
The big sister is throwing tantrums for the first time. She adores her little brother, but flatly refuses to take a "back seat" for a while. Consequently she's doing all of the wrong things to get "negative" attention. I do involve her with her brother and she loves it, but it's just not enough for her.
Any way, I would love for you to leave some comments on my page on how you dealt with either the colic or the older brother/sister thing. I'm open for any suggestions.

hey there! i saw your post on the 6 month page and that's a terribly tough situation to be in -- i'm so sorry! about your mom and dad, i understand why you don't want to abandon your mom and it's a bit harsh for your husband to expect you to do that without a second thought. however imo, you have to set some boundaries in your life for your mother and father to follow, esp b/c you have a baby. my suggestion to you, corny as it sounds, is for you and your husband, and even your mother if she will agree, to attend some al-anon meeting so that, as a family, you can deal with this healthily and as a team. there's no answer to a problem like this, and that's why i'm suggesting you seek help from sources outside of your family. good luck, and, tho i'm sure it's hard, don't allow yourself to be put in between your husband and mother -- you need your husband a lot right now, and the sooner you can make him see that, the easier it will be.

Oh my, you are too funny! But thanks for the compliment

Oh darling, he looks lush. I will send you a private email and go from there. A few of us that were on my week and there about stay in touch via facebook. Be good for you to join. Sounds like we had the same c-section experience, but I want 1000 more babies. Please don't as me why, I was never one for the logic roxapit - Friday, 20 June
What a compliment!!!!! Thank you so much! I def. don't want to wait TOO long... I'm thinking as soon as this ones potty trained. I guess my biggest fear is having trouble conceiving when I think I'm ready to... one of those things thats just out of my hands I guess!
P.S. Werner is one handsome little man!!

Congrats on the birth of your baby. Sarah is doing well. She is on the small side, but not by much. How is your baby?

As far as I'm concerned they change their "rules" like I change my underwear. :) This one they are pretty strict on. It's kind of a joke cuz they allow you to do the counting days thing and abstain during fertile times. Isn't that still birth control?? I say if your going to make a no birth control rule, go all the way not half. He will follow whatever they say.

I'm sorry, thank you for the nice compliment on my family. :)

This is really pathetic but we haven't had sex since Nathan was born. I'm so afraid of getting pregnant again and my husband is a strict catholic. NO BC!! Ugh. What am I going to do? So, nope, not pregnant again. Maybe just old....LOL

It sounds like your little one might be allergic to the milk and soy protein. I'm not aware of Novalac, but if the protein is broken down very small in it than it should help him (sounds like it is so far - that's really good). I think you should get a new Pead. For him to say to be patient after 4 months, he should try being in your shoes for a while! That's ridiculous to me. I would take him to a new Pead or a GI doctor. I hope whichever doctors you go with can diagnose reflux, in case the problem is more than the formula. If you can find another formula too in which the protein is broken down even smaller than Novalac, I would try that. It sounds like your baby's tummy is very sensitive. Good luck! Keep me posted!!

I know what you're going thru. I'm so sorry. For my 3 mo. old her colic turned out to be acid reflux. She is on Prilosec twice a day and it's worked beautifully! This may be the case with you or your baby may be allergic to your milk (formula or breast). If you see blood in the stool, he may be lactose intolerate in which case you should switch the formula to soy or change your diet right away if your breastfeeding. If it's just constant crying and no blood or rash problems, he may be having trouble digesting the large milk protein molecule and is not actually allergic to it. Our doctor thinks Emma may have this problem too (I honestly think alot of babies have this and/or reflux due to immature digestive systems, they eventually grow out of it) so she is taking Alimentum formula. The milk protein is broken down even more than the Hershey's "comfort protein" formula so they can digest it easier. Your baby may have intestinal gas too, which I've heard is the worst. My advice is to work with your pediatrician or even better a GI to diagnose the problem. There will be lots of trials and errors but do it quickly b/c your baby is going thru alot of pain. Remember, check for blood in his stools, if there's none there, switch the formula to Alimentum or change your diet to no cow's milk or soy if your breastfeeding (this is VERY difficult b/c milk and soy are in just about everything). You may start to see a change in about 24 hours. If this doesn't work, he may have reflux. What to look for in reflux is arching of the back and crying while feeding, wheezing, swallowing and gagging on fluid. There's other signs, I can't remember them all right now, but do a quickie search on the net and you'll find them. Before an official diagnosis can be done what you can do in the meantime is keep your baby propped up while feeding and a 1/2 hour afterward. Don't let your baby sleep flat on his back (the acid rises and will burn him). If it's gas, try Mylicon (very safe and effective) or gripe water (avoid the ones with alchohol). I've tried all these things and it was the Prilosec that did the trick, plus the Alimentum formula. Even though she is better with the Prilosec, our GI thought Emma's esophagus was still irritated due to milk protein discomfort, so we switched to Alimentum. I say better safe than sorry, whatever will make my baby more comfortable and without pain. GOOD LUCK TO YOU!!!

Victor and I are still together. We are very happy as well. I was married for over 14 years before. I loved him, but wasn't in love. With Victor, just thinking about him makes me smile. I know what it feels like to feel a connection with another person. This is his first and my third. I now truly understand what it feels like to be loved and not just by my children. How are you feeling?

I have twin boys and another boy on the way!
What I did... I allowed them to participate in choosing the bedding and they painted a little picture to hang on his room... I always tell them that they will have to help me to teach him all the cool things they do...
I know it wont be easy, but right now they are very excited about the baby.
Another thing my family has been doing is that the baby arrives to the hospital with a present for his older brothers =) It makes them really excited about him coming home =)

I don't have any other children but I used to work as a teacher in a daycare with toddlers. Children pick up on the fact that things are about to change and that mommy is tired and stressed. The tantrums seem normal to me at least the experiance I have had.... they seem to get better once the new little one arrives and they get to see their new brother/sister. Just a few more weeks hang in there hon! :)

You're welcome, and best wishes. I go for an u/s today and am a bit nervous hoping all is ok and may find out gender. I sure have felt sick enough to think all is ok.
noodle - Friday, 11 Jan
One thing that really encouraged me is someone told me when I had baby 2 to talk to my 1st child when I was nursing Baby. I always taught them to sit on blankets or couches with toys when I was nursing b/c it helped me relax. BUt I'd say to the Baby, 'Look over there at your brother, he is so special and he is such a big brother. He loves you, and I love him so much.' It helped my heart so much to have that one little tool.And right now of course just do what you can, say, 'I cant do this but I can give lots of hugs, or I can color a picture with you....' I always feel that way-how can I love another? I even feel it this time around. but I always do and I'm always able to make some special time for the siblings somehow...of course letting them 'help'-get diapers, whatever, is great. Best wishes!
