Pregnancy Info HOME

okay, meant to add that I hope Taklira is doing well soon.Could the coldbe from teething? Also, Danielle, I forgot to mention that I was bathing him nightly during the diaper rash epsiode so i could soak his little bottom which seemed to relieve it. plus he kept pooping like crazy so i was like, that is it, you are getting a bath and soaking, buddy! LOL! 'cause the big pooping epsiodes just seemed to aggravate the rash.

Helene- Maybe she didn't like the products because of the price or perhaps nothing to do with the products itself but just something aboout the company? Like a lot of ppl are sending those hoax Emails saying not to buy Starbucks because they don't support our troops when that could be the furthest thing from the truth. So, wondering if it something she feels strong about. I also like the Aveeno products too. I DONT like the smell of the Aveeno lotion though. On the breakout subject... JD has very light sensitive skin too. Remember I am Irish too. lol. He has very light blonde hair, blue eyes. Anyhow, he breaks out a lot but it goes away so fast. Just last weekend his legs had all these splotches on them, but like 15 minutes later its completely gone. I really wonder if he breaks out as he gets warmer or something. I know his whole body gots splotches when he gets real upset and screams. He screamed bloody murder last weekend when his bottom was all read and sore during a diaper change and when I brought him downstairs my BIL that is 11 years old asked what is wrong with his face. He was only screaming for about 5 minutes but his whole face was broken out. I know when he was younger he used to have real rosy cheeks (I think even you commented on some pictures I sent) and it pretty much only got bad when he was warm. Now his cheeks will only turn bright red like that if he is really warm or upset. Honestly though, I don't even think too much about it anymore because seriously it goes away so fast. The WORST time he ever broke out was when we got home from Red Lobster while visiting Johns parents. Once we were taking him out of the carseat after going out to dinner, I noticed his whole body had broke out really bad. I called the restaurant thinking they cooked their stuff in peanut oil or something but they said they ONLY use veg. oil. I have fed JD shrimp before (and have since then) and that has never happened. The guy at the store said that there is an employee there that worked there for 14 years and then one day got so allergic to seafood that just being around it without touching it makes him break out. Just the seafood in the air. I dunno what happened with JD but I know it came from there. Johns Mom kept trying to say it was because they didn't clean the highchair well. I know thats not the case because it wasn't just on his exposed arms. It was ALL over him. K, gonna send this and write more. DOnt want this too long. LOL

So continued, lol... Your totally right Helene about the exploding b___ts causing a bad rash. The reason JD got a bad rash last weekend was because the day before John fed him one of those single packets of hamburger helper (I think the lasagna) and it just came out right out of him. So, FYI- Do not feed your young child hamburger helper for it explodes the b___t! LOL. I also hear you about having to bath just because the pooped so much. Even when I clean so much, I still can smell it. I know whole milk really helps JD stool thicker. Juice really makes him runny. I even dilute his juice 50/50 and it does it. So, I try not to give him too much. K, what else.... Oh, yeah I wanna get into the prenatal yoga cla__s. I know Im only 10 1/2 weeks now but I'd like to start soon. Its just hard because I dont know anyone or any place to watch JD and evening traffic after John gets home from work is really bad. Oh and Helene, at my appt. on Monday I had lost 7 lbs. Go figure, I can't lose it at all before I got pregnant and now that I am I lose weight. I know I also lost 7 lbs. in the 1st trimester with JD as well. I dunno why, Im not throwing up any food. Maybe its because I have to eat more frequent smaller meals.

lovley topic ladys! rogue has been on antibiotics cos she has infected ears.eyes and chest and now i have infected eyes green sticky goo its gross hope i dont get something like this b4 my wedding hahaha could you imagine? so her poo has been so runny you could pour it through the eye of a needle poor baby we have also had head lice which we got off of a friends wee boy so not been a good week to say the least. well last night at 5:45pm she started walking!!!! so my baby is now mobile lol danellia i am not bothered if we get pregnant again but we are not going to activley try till after the wedding it takes along time for me to fall pregnant thou if past experiance is anything to go by lol plus this period did not have clots in it kinda like those first a/fs from the dnc. i am looking around my house and its like a bomb has gone off you know what its like when you have an ill klingy child nothing gets done then yesterday i was sick and just could not move so today is a deep clean friday i think!!!

Coda- you know it took us like 5 years to have JD and then the very first month off the pill I get pregnant with this one without even a period. So... don't go by how long it took you before. LOL. You just never know. ALthough, if it happens then its meant. hehe. Sorry to hear about all thats going on right now in the home front. Hopefully ya'll get well soon. Grats on Rogue walking!! Now you gonna have your hands real full. So, how old is she exactly now? I know JD didn't official start walking until after he turned 1 also. ALso, hope nothing is wrong with you by your wedding time. How long away is it? I would totally go if I weren't pregnant.

rogue is 14 months old now time flys she is now drinking cows milk she still has the odd b/f thou. our wedding is only 3 months away!!!! and as normal i leave everything to the last min haha still making my invites have to order our cake this month and get my wedding band made we are just having a small service in the botanic gardens then having a bbq in our garden afterwards keeping cost down so we can fly to the uk at the end of jan we are going to stop in dubi for 2 days which will be nice and it brakes the jurney up abit for rogue. i bet your excited now knowing everything is going well so happy for you both do u want a little boy or girl? how many children would you like? have you thought of any names?

Hey Coda- Honestly, right before I got pregnant with this one I was actually starting to think maybe just leaving it be with JD. Then I get a BFP. This sounds so wrong, but I wasn't as happy as I was when I seen that BFP with JD. I think because I just wasn't ready or trying at all. Of course now that I seen the little bub on screen I feel much better and very excited now. I just dont want to develop PPD because this wasn't planned. So, trying to go day by day but so far so good. I really pray that JD doesn't hit terrible 2's right when this one is born. Anyhow, I don't care what the gender is. I guess it would be nice to have a girl because there are too many boys in our family (and of course because everyone thinks we can't produce girls. lol), but at the same time I love boys and not sure how I would be with a girl. However, I'll take anything as long as (s)he is healthy, ya know?! But, to weigh my wants... I think I lean more towards girl. I think it would be neat. Anyhow, I dunno what my # of kids would be. I guess I'll leave that up to God. I just think so far I have been so blessed. :)

Oh BTW- Dubi is very pricey. Although nice to go check out and sight see. Its also VERY hot there. So have you finished bfing now?

I feel so burned by god, or the powers that be right now. Exactly one month after the birth of our perfect Lexi, my dog was killed by a fox last night, taken right from our yard. I am incredibly depressed about this. "Brian" had been an irritant since the day Lexi arrived. We have 2 dogs. I built a big playpen in the garage for them so they would stop stressing me out in the middle of the day. They were both acting out over a baby in the house by peeing all over the place. They had used the play pen for 5 days just during the day, and my DH would let them outside at night and then bring them into the house when he came home from work. Through the side door, not our usual doors. Last night they stayed down longer than usual, then my DH let them out because I did not want to "disturb the baby." Only one dog came to the door. I became concerned almost immedietly and started looking outside. We looked for 3 hours in the dark, then woke up right at the crack of dawn to keep looking. Every time the baby woke up last night I woke up crying and looking outside after I fed her, 1, 4 and 6. Late today a neighbor came by to show us bloody fur found in the woods across from us. My DH is right now trying to locate the carca__s. "Brian" was my baby for 7 years (shih tzu). We strugged to have a baby and Brian filled that void for years as one of my "animal children." The guilt is overwhelming. If I had never built that pen, or had let them house earlier, when we were feeding the baby, he would be here now. We'll bury his fur, food bowl and plant a tree tommorrow I think. Life is very cruel.

Whoops Tracy, I meant Dubai. ___Melissa- Oh my goodness, I am so sorry to hear!! That is so sad. :( I couldn't imagine what I would do if that happened to my dog. Gosh, I am so sorry! How is everything else going? ___Well, this morning when I went to the bathroom I noticed some blood. I haven't since then and hope I don't again but that wasn't what I wanted to see. It wasn't just spotting either. Yet, it was only that first wipe. Lately DH and I have been fighting (like just started yesterday on his birthday) and then this happens this morning, so it might be stress related. I am gonna try to take it easy. I don't wanna get into it too much, but I have not forgave him. Anyhow, other than that and horrible headaches lately (no heartburn yet) everything is going good.

What a c___ppy few days. Poor Lexi, I was crying over my dog while feeding her on Saturday and Sunday. I am such an animal lover, that little guy was truly a family member. He will be so missed. _Daniella_ don't fret over the blood, you are healthy and young. Stress might be the culprit. Oh, and about fighting with DH? My DH says with each of my pregnancies my demeanor changed, and the minute the pregnancies ended, I was back to my old self within hours. Funny how the hormones whack your brain (not saying your argument was not warrented, just saying in my world, I was totally unreasonable I think when the hormones were going strong). Anyway, update on Lexi? I cannot believe how blessed we are. She is so totally perfect. We have her on a schedule now, and I have become pretty good at reading her needs so I usually can predict what she needs before she has to utter a cry. So her stress level is pretty low I think. We just have a GASSY problem that causes her some real discomfort. I put her on Soy Simalac last week, and I mix it 1/2 and 1/2 with my b___st milk (I am suffering from low production b___st milk but am pumping until the well runs dry - at least she can get the benefits). She still has the gas though! HUGE farts and burps! And she still wakes 2-3 times in the night, but DH and I have a good system now so we get through the feeds and disruption in like 15 mins and get right back to sleep. We actually switch off nights in her room so we both get 2 straight nights sleep in the master bedroom, while the other sleeps with Lexi in her room. So sleep deprivation has greatly improved. And every other Friday until the end of the year DH takes the day off and manages her 100% so I can get my nails done :) I love her though! She is so good! Takes easy naps, goes to sleep at night without much fuss - no need for swings and stuff. And now at 5 weeks, she is pretty engaging. Can't wait for the smiles to start!

Melissa- I am so sorry about your dog. It sounds like Lexi is doing good. Daniella hope things are better for you. Any more spotting? I went to the Dr last week and he kind of made me a little mad. I had several questions and wasn't feeling good. I just felt like he blew me off. Maybe he was just having a bad day. I had another 4D u/s. The baby weighed4lb 15 oz(at 32 weeks) and is measuring 2 weeks farther along than I am. I have a c-section sched 11-23-07 (the day after Thanksgiving) if I don't go into labor sooner. Hope everyone is doing good.

BrockandKatiesmum...Drs can't afford to have a bad day you wait 4 weeks to c them unless something (big happens) and walk out not having the chance to get youer answres they can be such a__s's sometimes hope you r feeling better and got/get your answers. If any1 has ideas on girls names feel free to throw them my way having trouble finding 1 ...but we have only started looking. ALl the 1s I really like Iv already used as middle names.

Bee- I am feeling better. I did have a few contractions this afternoon but they seems to have stoped now. I like my Dr but he just isn't the same as my previous Dr(who I couldn't have this time because I have to have a c-section) I guess this Dr jsut figures that it is my 3rd child and I am a nurse but still. As for names I love the name Kennady or Kenadi for a girl that was what I was going to name this baby if he was a girl. Oh well my Keegan William will be here soon. The middle name is after my grandpa who pa__sed away 2 weeks ago. I will have my c-section the day after what would have been his 79th birthday. Hope you are feeling good. When are you due?

Borck&katiesmum....Thanx 4 the names Im due 24 Feb so still a little way 2 go but just going through 1 of those stages of throwing names around....I like Jade but thats Rochelles middle name and Amber but thats Chantals middle name I have Kasey Rose and Erin Sky so on top of that am trying to stay away from names that start with any of their fist names...maybe...sounds weird I know..we like Liam or Luke 4 a boy at this stage. I now what u mean wen I rang the hospital 2 book in ..(thats wot we do here I dont know if its the same with u guys) or go to the Drs and I tell them its my fift baby they say oh your an old hand at it.

Melissa- Hope your feeling better. As far as me... not sure what age has to do with it. I've lost 3 babies before JD and never bled any with the last loss at 12+ weeks. So, don't think being young means that bleeding is OK. If anything me being high risk, any blood is "bad" ya know!? As far as the homefront, well.. these are things that have started before I got pregnant. Its not pregnancy making me feel any different. If anything, being pregnant is making me think irrational due to trying to work things out because of the baby. Any rationally woman would have left right away. So, nope... he is probably thrilled I am pregnant right now because that is the only reason my a** didn't walk straight out the door. Not to get into it, but its a huge trust issue. So, its not about pregnancy feeling at all. Otherwise your totally correct, they can really mess with a relationship. ___Bee- STOP! LOL. Stop thinking of girl names, your going to have a boy!!! :P haha. I can't believe your due at the end of Feb. and I found out before you. That is so crazy! How you feeling? ___B&K's mom- You deserve answers. He is getting your money, the least he can do is serve you with answers. I wouldn't leave until you got them all! Hope next visit he has more "time" for YOU. That is awesome about the 3D/4D scan. I just loved it. I think between 26-32 weeks is perfect. Not too big to take up all the space, but big enough they have the baby fat, etc. Cute!
