Baby Blogger - Splint

Hello,

A couple of days ago I got my splint for my left leg/foot. It makes me look like a supercool cyber baby!! It keeps my ankle stiff so I can't roll my foot onto the side. It is supposed to help me too walk but I think it is just to scary to let go of the furniture - besides I can get about much quicker on my hands and knees!

Mummy is feeling much better and her tummy is getting bigger but less bouncy! I hope my little sister has enough room in there!

Daddy has been very busy but he's a bit calmer now. He takes me shopping - I like the trolly best!

And so to this....

Shane and I have been married for over 7 years and have two amazingly beautiful, wonderful children. In all our time together we have had few disagreements and no rows...... well until last night that is.

We went at it like professionals until we both felt like crap and nothing that was upsetting us was resolved. I don't know where it all came from but I didn't like it.

I guess a large part of the problem is that we are both so tired and only have so much energy to deal with issues and problems. By the time the kids are in bed we both seem to flop and curl up within ourselves to protect our inner selves from the crappiness of the outside world.

We managed to sort out a temporary truce that meant we could go to bed still believing in us. I guess at some point when we can be calm and rational we need to sort out a few things, have a chat, find each other amongst the business and the illness and the tiredness.

Shane if you ever read this - remember one thing - I love you with all of my being.

Baby Blogger - Update

Last week I went to the hospital to have my foot cast done for my leg splint. It was ok and they even gave me a bowl of water with bubbles to put my feet in afterwards. I cried when they took it away as I was having fun!!

I have been very tired this week as Mummy and Daddy have been busy/unwell - I had to go to nursery every day. It was great fun but I am tired now!!

I keep making mummy laugh with my funny faces and silliness!!

Baldricka is doing well. Sometimes when I put my head on mummy's tummy I can feel her moving around. She seems to wriggle a lot.

Baby Blogger - Urgh!

Just when mummy and daddy thought I was getting better I threw up all over their bed - twice - and in two different places!

I feel a bit better today but I'm not going to go to nursery .... maybe tomorrow if I'm ok today.

Mummy's belly is good to jump on but something in there keeps kicking back. Mummy says it's my little sister but I'm not convinced!

What a Week that Was!

Last week I started to get a pain in my chest just below my left boob. It got worse so on Monday I went to the doctor who prescribed Gaviscon. It didn't improve so on Tuesday morning I rang the Maternity unit. They told me to come in. After several hours and several tests they admitted me to the ward. More tests followed and the consultant seemed quite worried about my condition.

Eventually they had all but ruled out anything serious - although they couldn't quite rule out pulmonary embolism. I am therefore now on daily injections to thin my blood to sort out any clot. They allowed me home on Thursday afternoon.

On Friday my son was sent home early from nursery due to lethargy and high temperature. He was diagnosed with a throat infection. The high temperature made him vomit - a lot!

He is much better this morning but now my husband is feeling under the weather - hopefully it's just down to lack of sleep!

I am back at work but under instruction to take it easy - no running about. I still have the pain and the shortness of breath but I am ok as long as I don't overdo it.

Isn't life grand!

Baby Blogger - Difficult Week

I have had a very hard week. Mummy went away to a big place with lots of people - she had to stay there for a few days. Daddy says it was a hospital. I don't really know why she had to stay away - Daddy says she was poorly.

Anyway Mummy came home on Thursday and then on Friday I was sick and had a very hot head. I had to come home early from nursery. I just wanted to sleep and cuddle mummy. I was hot and tired all weekend. I don't think mummy or daddy gor much sleep.

Today daddy is feeling poorly too - I hope we don't have to go and stay where mummy was.

My baby sister is ok though - I like to bounce on mummy's big tummy - mummy doesn't like it much!!!

Baby Blogger - Sleeping

Well did I make my parents work hard last night!! I went to sleep ok at bedtime but then just when they had gone off to sleep I woke up! Daddy gave me a bottle of milk - yummy! - and then I want him to stay with me until I was asleep. Daddy and Mummy didn't stay but kept leaving me by myself so I kept them up for an hour or so before I finally went to sleep.

Mummy and Daddy were tired this morning and were late for work!!
