I dont know how much more is going to be thrown at me!

Lee seemed a little better, and now ended up with a chest infection, which i have to constantly watch as he suffers from collapsed lungs, and they usually go in the night, he is coughing so much im on edge constantly. I am having to run up and down the stairs at night.

I am sleeping downstairs with Megan because lee is coughing in the night and waking her up. also she has a cold and having to sleep in her bouncy chair or carry cot just so she is a little upright, otherwise she cant breathe properly,
I had to take her to the doctors yesterday for Oral Thrush, which made me feel crap as im soo anal about sterilizing her bottles only i can do it, and she still got it,

Now she has really gunky eyes which i have been told is conjunctivis (sp), so im keeping an eye on that too.

The one good thing is, she isnt constipated anymore, and is still loving baby juice. I feel like such a crap mum, she seems to be getting everything going and cant help feeling like its all my fault.

My mum is now trying to tell me i have post natal, and its not that at all, i just hate not being able to do anything for Lee and Megan, i admit doing the night feeds 7 nights a week, tidying the house and taking constant care of megan is making me a little tired, doesnt help me c section scar is still infected and now weeping a lot, the anti biotics im taking give me stomach cramps too which doesnt help but my mum is determined to let everyone know i have post natal. its sooo annoying

Sorry for my rant and rave, seems all i do is moan but i dont i promise just seems to be one thing after another.

Hope your all well

Nat and Megan xxx

aw HUGE HUGS

You arnt a crap mum atall its just babies amune systems arnt as good as ours. I hope ur partner gets better soon and Megan.

Your mum just sounds worried about u, but it would do my head in if my mum started telling everyone. I wud be stressed and tired if i did all what u had to do espically from recovering from a C-section. Your doing well!!!

I hope ur infection clears... try stay positive

Speak Soon

sorry 2 hear that

Oh hun,
Sorry 2 hear ur having a crap time!
It really isn't ur fault. Megan is obviously run down n as a result she has an eye infection on top of the cold.
its good that she is sleeping in an upright position as it will help her airways n any reflux she may have.
Sorry 2 hear Lee unwell again. It must be a really anxious time 4 u. U are over tired and it can do funny things 2 u.
Ur mum is obviously concerned about u. Try n explain 2 her, iI'm sure she will understand. My mum was the other way with me, when my 1st kid was 18 month or so I went on anti- depressants. My mum thought I was bein over the top n thought I didn't need em( think she was scared of me getting addicted 2 em even though they were very mild!!)
i'm sure next week will be a much better one 4 u.
u take care of urself as u don't need 2 be ill 2 hun. hope ur scar heals soon n cramps stop.

Love n best wishes, mummyand2. xx
