...................................sorry to dissapoint but yes i am Still here
and i feel huge and uncomfortable sleeping, getting aching hips and finding it awkward to turn over in bed with heavy lump in front!!!!!!! Have been constantly tidying trying to keep on top of things and still nothing. xxxxxxxxHavent read posts yet, but i hope that your dd is better juls. Hope everyone else is doing good too.
Oh i am so tired!!!!!!!!!
2/4/08 10:59
fingers crossed it's all going smoothly or even better it's over!!
Glad lo is on the mend, was telling my mum and she was shocked about the hospital joke! Makes you wonder what the hell these people are thinking doesn't it?
Well all ok here, new car is settling in nicely, Tea is now 12 4, but still skinny!! Aidan was about 27 lbs 2 wks ago. Dp s working again so I am alone again with the kids. Seems a bit easier this time though since Tea is a bit older again so not stuck to me all the time and Aidan is better around her, just generally ignores her but it's progress!!

Still here, 40 + 4
............and now looks like i am going to be an April mummy!!!!!-at some point x31/3/08 12:27
FFS, I check in here think you might have gone and read that about Juls!! Hope the wee lamb is getting better Juls. As you know I'm 10 mins (5 in a panic) from the hospital here but I still worry if something was to happen, you must have been sick with worry! Makes the battery story pale really doesn't it. lol I hope dd is doing better anyway and you have calmed down a bit, not enough to not write that letter about a&e though! What is all that about!?
Carla, that's a good idea just push and let it fall out hopefully in your sleep! lol It would work that way if men were having them wouldn't it! Dp asked about the snip the other day at the doc and she said it was a pretty painless proceedure simply because it was for a man and if it hurt they wouldn't do it. Bloody chauvinists!!
Ali, hope you're doing ok these days with life and such. It would be ok if you could just switch off sometimes from everything and everyone wouldn't it?
Oh great! My 2 are asleep and next door's boys are out playing! Off sick too, mmmm.
And yes, bloody terrified to drive the car but it's getting better. Loads of space!! I keep looking for things to put in it! lmao
Again Juls, fingers crossed all is well your end.
And sending labour vibes Carla, but I'll send then tomorrow night around 11 and hope you don't go too quickly and still hit the 1st! lol

3 days over now!!!!!!
Just thought id see how everything is Jules. Hope your dd is feeling better. Your experience sounds absolutely horrendous. I hope you managed to get a bit of sleep. Scarlet fever, sounds like you may have found out a probable cause. I hope that it.
As for me.........................................well yes, it will be just like the thing to have an April fools baby!!!!!! Saying that, i was 9 days over before i was induced with my dd, so i might be in for the long haul!!!!!! Ah well, a week tomorrow at the latest girls. x
31/3/08 09:23
You must have been so scared Juls, hope thats the last ever you both have to go thru anything like that. You feel so helpless, unable to do anything. And driving past an aand e!!
Our hospital, just 5 mins away has no childrens services at all and only takes minor injuries... but our drive is still less than you.
Hope she is on the mend and you have recovered too.
31/3/08 01:11
You still here then,lol is it going to be an april fool baby then Carla?!
Thanks for the link,I`ve been browsing all over the net about them.I never want her,or me to go through that again.Yeh,i`d done all the sponging down and stuff,stripped her and took her temp,she was throwing up and pretty unconcious at the same time.I`d heard her moaning in her bed and went to see what was wrong with her,I didn`t see her fitting,think i missed that bit,it was the after effects I think,her eyes rolled back and then she just wouldn`t wake up for anything,apparently they go into a deep,deep coma type sleep and go limp,her mouth was clamped shut though,I couldn`t even check for obstructions although I knew there wasn`t any,I called nhs,and they connected me to the ambulance service and it took ages,seemed like a lifetime.I was so fumming aswell,they have to drive straight past ayr A&E but can`t stop,they have to go to Kilmarnock,another 15 odd miles further away and all I wanted was my baby seen by the closest emergency services.Fookers.I`ll be writing a raging letter about that.I could have demanded to be taken there but it would have caused untold havoc for the paramedics but hey,ho,politics seem to be more fookin important than peoples lives
Sorry rant over,need to vent some anger and i`m just stress,stress,stressed!Better get to bed I suppose and try and get some sleep,just heard my mates lo is down with scarlett fever,hmmmm they were together on friday
the plott thickens.Have you not felt the need to wash your windows and clean,clean,clean yet? Your a few days over now egh,3? Bet you`ll go for 2mrw,the 1st....
Anyway,lots of labour vibes coming from me......PUUUUUUUUUSH

Found this website that might help you:

OMG Jules, that sounds really scary. I take it the good old Calpol wouldnt bring it down?That would have seriously freaked me out. I know you prob know this but If tt goes high again, try sponging her down a bit, it may bring the temp down again and save you from her convulsing.
I remember when one of my twins was little and he banged his head and fainted. OMG his eyes rolled back and i felt completely helpless. I know how you must have felt. In that instance i thought he was dying. He was only 4 at the time.
So they sent you home without much of explanation? I dont think i would sleep either. I hope she feels better soon, or at least the temperature goes away. Did they not give you anything for it? I hope Sol doesnt get it, thats all you need to raise your worry levels further.
Let us know how she is when you get a chance to update. xxxxxxxxx

Gimme teenage strops over what we`re going through any day!!!
Oh Carla wasn`t it you that was meant to be in hozzy this weekend?! Instead it was myself and missy-rushed away in a blur of blue flashing lights last night about midnight.Missy had some sort of convulsion and a temp of nearly 39,she freaked me right out of my tree,i`ve never been so scared,she was out of it for about 30mins,deeply gone and I thought we were losing her.I never want to go through that again,they sent us home at 5am in a taxi and she was still throwing up!!! Her temp was sky high again this afternoon,it hit 38 so i`ve been watching her like a hawk.The fact we are so far from a hospital makes me nervous and i`ve only had 2hrs sleep,i`m crapping it to go to sleep tonight incase I just go into a coma like sleep and don`t waken easily.AAAggghhh.They said they think it was a febrile convulsion and they think she is coming down with an infection but they can`t be sure
that makes me feel great........notI hope everyone else is having a great weekend though
Is your car dead comfy lel or are you feart tae drive it!lol
Hey Carla,just keep pushing,you never know,maybe you`ll wake up and it`ll have just fell out!
Take care all.
