Idiot cat

He’s standing at the cat door (leads out to the enclosed cat run), banging on the door, making it flap back and forth.  Annoying.

Remembering Zak

I’m thinking of Brenda, S, and baby Georgia this weekend.  Friday the 15th marked their baby boy’s 3rd birthday.  Tomorrow will be the 3rd anniversary of his death.

Moving forward

I’m getting annoyed at myself for having parenting posts and baby photos on an infertility blog.

So, it’s time for me to start posting elsewhere about all the parenting after infertility stuff.

This blog will remain in case it helps someone else dealing with IF and a UU, as there just aren’t very many UU blogs out there.

So, if you’d like to, come join me over at Sacred and Scarred. If not, I understand.

I really want to thank the blogging community for all the support you’ve given me. Thank you.

Update #3

Because some of you were asking how she was in general I sent her a text message and also got her to explain the tongue tie…

I am feeling pretty well, moving around easily! Tongue tie is when the Frenulum ‘ties’ the tongue too tightly to bottom of mouth. Paed and new lactation consult r happy wth his feeding and weight gain & they explained the tip of the tongue grows so unlikely to cause speech probs later, yay no snip! Having scan of hips next week. Pics will come when I get home tomorrow, have some cool ones. I was getting about starkers for 1st cpl days – much easier! Now wearng pants but wandering around boobs out, again easier. I have had a really good c/s & hospital exp even tho it was not my ideal.

Update #2

More updates for you all

Waiting 4 orthopedic surgeon – baby is getting a hip brace. Weight is up so that’s good

2nd text

Oh man, I am now waiting 4 a chest xray to rule out pneumonia (for her)! Got cheesecake though

3rd text

Had xrays done a couple of hours ago, waiting 4 dr to come read damn report. Gave up on going home tonight. At least there was choc mud cake 4 dessert

Update from K

K sent through an update yesterday…

We are still ok. Callum was 3.7kg and 51cm on Friday afternoon. Has complete tongue tie, pretty certain it will need to be snipped, also keeping eye on jaundice. Is a very quiet baby so far!

Still sore, but moving around better. Nipples feeling a tad bruised! Getting a bit teary, think thrs some hormone fun head my way.

Today’s update…

Callum was cleared for jaundice today. Tongue Tie snipping recommended by lactation consult but paed wants to check tomorrow. I go home tomorrow sometime. Saw one of the OB’s from the c/s who told me baby was Frank Breech, apgars were 6 (needed some breathing help) & 8.

Oh and still a bit teary on & off.

Poor Darling! After everything she’s been through in the last 9 months (and the years before) it doesn’t suprise me at all that she’s teary!

A Wee Bit Of Heaven…

A wee bit of Heaven
drifted down from above-
A handful of happiness,
a heart full of love.

I’m proud to annouce that Callum Riley arrived today at 10.03am. (Still waiting to be weighed)

Finally K, your long awaited dreams have come true.

I will update if anymore news comes through.

More shit I don’t want to think about

Chemo vs Tysabri (for DP).

Pants On

That was the status of today’s ultrasound. I simply cannot remember the last time I had a pants on ultrasound. Maybe April 06, the renal ultrasound?

The first thing they asked was “do you have gestational diabetes?”. Yup, baby is still enormous, sitting just about the 95th percentile. Looks like we’ve totally dodged the IUGR bullet. Fluid levels are good.

The kidneys are still dilated, which is causing me no end of worry. They’ll scan baby once he’s on the outside.

Baby is still breech, which I knew anyway. But gee it bites when they say that I’m “lucky” for not having to deliver a big baby naturally, when I would much rather that than a c/s, and I’m finding it really difficult to accept that.  I guess when I see the OB on Wednesday he’ll schedule me.

I’m scared.
