My lil Man- Cameron Elliot

[Lolly85x]

I will need to have a nosey through your journal

Iv read your last post!

Oh my - what a time of it you had. Must have been so scary... Very scary. But you and Cam are here to tell the tale. And he's a beauty!
Sounds like you did really well under the circumstances.

How do you feel about it all??xxx

 

[Emily0505]

My journal is basically just me and Hope! Its nice to have someone else visit and comment

Before I had very negative feelings about my labour. Felt like a failure because i couldn't push him out myself, upset because i wanted a water birth at my local mlu but ended up delivering in stirrups at a different hospital. But having had the debrief, i feel so much better about it all and i nowI understand why everything happened.

Yeahy! I'll be regular now our Little monkeys are of a similar age

That's good your feeling more positive about it then. I think it's very hard when you have an idea and strong beliefs in what you want. And then it ends up not like that.xxx

 

[Lolly85x]

Iv just read about your labour and little Cameron's first week. I just want to give you a massive hug. That's so sad and awful experience to go through. It sounds like you had good care though?
He is such a beautiful little boy!
It's over whelming becoming a mum, then to go through what you did xx

 

[Emily0505]

It was very scary. At times I honestly though he was going to die. I now realise that had he been that poorly he would have been in ICU etc but I was such a wreck I couldn't think straight!

He had this awful cannular in his arm so all I coukd dress him in was short sleeved vests. I hated getting him dressed because i was so worried i would hurt him or pull it out but we were forever doing skin to skin or he needed a clean vest after his cup feeds so i was forever changing him, it was awful! He kept hitting himself in the face with it, so i made them get something to cover it with as it made me feel better. They used the tiniest hat i have ever seen, i can't believe babies are born that small!!

Oh bless! But look at him now he's perfect! Such an amazing wee boy! Add some more pics he's lovely!

What are you up to today?
I am going to take William to a Jiggy Wigglers class, I'm really nervous about it. I really don't feel confident in myself just now, hate new situations. And I'm really self convulsions about my weight just now but I'm going to over come it and get to this class. Then I was going to take him for a wee swim! If we're ready in time. Need to leave at 10.30 to make it I the class we've just had breakfast.xxx

You had an awful time but the outcome was the best ever and I am so glad that you are feel a little better about all of it now.
As Lolly said look at him now!!! (Hey lolly :waves

Also God you girls as busy!!!! I wish we had sth to do with Amelie other than stay at home or goto the shops...

 

[Lolly85x]

I'm really nervous. I know I need to just get over it. I just hate walking into a room thinking people are looking at me will they all be friends already? And I'll sit there myself hopefully not.xxx

 

[Hope81]

Aww lolly. First of all you are not alone you have your gorgeous little man with you. It's normal to be a little weird at the beginning I suppose especially if the others already know each other but you just better there and try to interact with them.
Admire the other babies, their clothes whatever gives you opportunities to start a discussion.
After a couple of times I am sure it will be a joy to go there

 

[Emily0505]

We are going to baby group this afternoon and then out to dog training this evening but that's it. I'm just sat in my jim jams eating brekkie!

I can be quite shy too but I'm getting better. I would love to take Cam swimming but i def need a new costume, preferably one of those.tummy sucker in ones, the lady garden needs a major prune too i need to get cam swim nappies and whatever babies wera swimming...actually...what do babies wear swimming??? Plus, I'm really worried he'll puke in the pool! What would happen then? Woukd thy have to clean the pool???? OMG swimming sounds like it would be a right mission!!

I suppose presenting during congresses in front of a room full of hundreds of people made me quite insensitive lol.

for you and William. You can always leave if you don't like it right?

 

[Hope81]

Emily lol, I doubt anything will happen if they puke in the pool lol there is enough clorium there to kill everything in sight lol! Actually I am pretty sure a bunch of adults regularly pee in the pools anyway (says the Greek girl that never been in a pool lol)

 

[Emily0505]

The thing is, i coukd quite happiky stand and do a presentation infront of hundreds of people no sweat, wouldnt bother me at all, but a small intimate group of people i try to make friends with, whole other story. Mjnd you, i am so much better than i was. When i was younger i woukd never walk into a room full of people first. I hated it!! I would hold the door ooen to let someone else in or hang back to let my friends go first!

[Lolly85x]

Thanks ladies! I know I'll be fine... Might even recognise someone from the ante natal classes?! Hopefully.

Oh William puked in the pool, just a little milky stuff. Was like cottage cheese I just flicked it out the side haha! Is thy bad??? Haha!
William has swim nappies and wears a wetsuit. Think he needs a bigger size soon. It is a mission. I have 2 bags to ale out today and will have to carry a towel we have a bag with lunch in it. Thought after the class before swimming we could sit in the car down the beach and eat lunch haha xxx

 

[Emily0505]

I think he would love swimming. I'll have to pluck up the courage to go soon. Might have to take hubby with me for moral support thefirst time!

[Hope81]

Aww you girls lol! I will probably be friends with the whole room in the first 10 min lol...mind you even if I don't speak the same language with them

BUT to do that you also need the right people too. There is no problems at all making friends with anyone probably from the south Europe.., you can enter a room here in Norway and besides a good morning you may not hear a peep from them or their babies...

Such a bunch of polite cold people they are here it does my head in and makes me miss home really badly.
I am much more social than that lol! though I manage to "tame" the wildest Norwegians too as my oh says lool.

So I doubt its only you that you are shy maybe the whole atmosphere there is a non welcomed one sometimes?

 

[Emily0505]

Right, its porridge time for little man. Going to give him a piece of toast to feed himself too...could be interesting!

[Lolly85x]

Hope! You've never been in a pool?????

We are all packed. William strapped in his car seat.
I will let you know how I get on!

William loves phili cheese spread on his toast. Have you gave it to Cam yet???xxx

 

[Hope81]

Good luck lolly!!! And ermmm no i haven't!! I mean I grew up in Greece we have sea in all directions lol why would I go to the pool lool

 

[Emily0505]

Toast was a big hit! He had a piece in each hand and tried to stuff both in his mouth at once! It went everywhere though... not that the dogs mind! Prime position under the highchair!!
