Hey mum bambie Elysa weighed 7lbs 9 1/2 oz and she is 22 inches long...she is so long the other two kids were 20 and 21 so she will be the tall one just like me since I am 5'9..lol.....well the bow the nurse at the hospital but it on her and it would not come off so it took a few days for it to fall out..we actually washed her hair and it would not come out so we left it along..but it grew on us XD :-D. It cut some of the photos off for some reason maybe they were to big to fit. XD But little Elysa says hi and big kisses.
Thats just awful about the cars..hopefully it was not yours. well I am taking her in today because she is now 11 days old and her eyes are yellow.But her skin is ok so need to get it checked to make sure she is fine. I will post back later. love ya :-D

Keep her close to the window - indirect sunlight! This helps with the billirubin! And feed her as much as possible! This too "rinses" out the build up in the liver!
I just have this image of Elysa going to school with a little silver bow, on her head - because the super glue wouldn't come out!!!! o.O XD XD XD

just an update i only have 16 more week to go b4 this baby arrives into the world bambi in the last few week i have heard you can take some thing to help induce labour i think it might be caster oil or some thing like that but i wont be doing that till i am close to 40 weeks

DONT DO THAT!!!! What you have heard of is an old wives tale! When a woman was over due, they would induce diarrhea - Castor Oil, Epsom Salts! And what this does - we now know - is MESS yours and thus the babies Electrolytes! And this can have BAD consequences! The Castor Oil and or Epsom Salts, go straight into the system - the oil and the salt are NOT good for either of your organs! What some do is get the oil suppositories that induces diarrhea from the lower bowel - which doesn't go through the stomach and the baby! BUT I and I'm sure Becky can attest too that there is NOTHING like a good juicy steak!!! The amount of women I know - including Becky - who wanted a steak! It's the body wanting iron for the baby! And this brings on diarrhea and labour etc! So don't do anything! The baby will probably be on time - due to you having 3 others! A good thing to DO with oil is to rim your vagina with it - when you get close to the birth! You press on the bottom of your vaginal opening and go around the opening and gently press down - this helps with the delivery and not taring! And also massaging your belly, which can soothe the baby, and yourself of course!

OK i thought i would just ask i have heard of people using it and it does slow and then pick back up ....

The worst for me, is with my first, I thought his leg was coming through the nether regions!!!! But I found out it was his head going up and down! I used to GASP and had an image of a foot sticking out of my vajayjay!!!! XD XD I HATED the peeing! sneezing, coughing, laughing, talking, etc etc etc! BUT the end product is worth ALL the urine in the world!!! XD XD

Hey..well Elysa is doing good and I am too. I did get my tubes tied so I am still a little sore from the doctor cutting me. I did this because I know we only wanted three kids and I am hoping it helps with the cysts that I have. But I am happy I did. Little Elysa is such a great baby and the kids just love her. We are so blessed. :-D :-)
And She now weighs 7lbs and 12 oz so being 2 weeks old I guess that is good.
And HunnieChild... Bambie is right about the Castor Oil..I know from what my friends have told me well 3 of my friends have tryed it when being pregnant and it just brings on the poops XD XD and lots of bad cramps from what they told me. So don't try it..it is an old wives tell. So I am just going on what they have told me and me having to watch two of my friends kids because they had cramps so bad.
But yes the steaks are good when pregnant. I am not a big meat eater but man was the steaks good and helps with the labor. :-D
And I tryed the massage thing that bambie is talking about I did that and it helped so much and I didn't rip down there and her head was 12 3/4 o.O o.O so do thoses and maybe you will not have to rip or be cut down there. So start early with thoses because I started about when I was 25 weeks pregnant and it helps. :-D
Well I am going to go and feed my little baby girl..man it is something because I love her so much and she is so sweet.
Thanks bambie and she says Hi!!

OK last night i down 4-6 cups of water thinking that is why i was getting all my cramping but it just brought on bouts after bouts of diarrhea to the point i thought i was cleaning out my system by going to the maternity ward i thought maybe a shower would help and i blow off and i had a bout in the shower TMI sorry after about 5-7 bouts of it it all came right and i had no more cramping no more diarrhea so Today i am going to take it easy and see how i am later on today if i start getting cramping i will ring my MW and let her know that something aint right .... at first i thought i might have been something i eat but none of the other house got it only me ..... for a good hour to two hours ( all while i was trying to cook and serve dinner and put my children to bed)

Hi Hunnie! You have to remember that your system is on HIGH alert right now, your body's main goal is to protect that baby! So you probably ate something that it didn't like! Do you know that the body will freak out if you give it broccolli when you are pregnnat?!!! So something probably set of the diarrhea! Just drink normally with the water - about 8 cups a day - which is not much really!
Remember we can cramp for ANY reason! And just FYI it is NOT the baby's foot - this is what I thought! It's their head, going up and down! At 25/26 weeks, the baby's feet are still very small, so if it was their foot, it WOULD make quite the impression, like a finger poking a balloon!!! LOL
Eat bland, and white protein - while you are getting the cramps! Just cut out red meat for a bit! As Becky and I can attest, Red Meat - makes you go to the bathroom! So keep it small and often - about 5 or 6 smallish meals a day! Keeps your blood sugars stable, and enough calories for the baby!

thanks bambi i think it was just something i eat i let the midwife know i had a episode so diarrhea last night and i had more cramping and she told me to take it easy and drink 2 ltrs of water and so panadol for pain, and quiet surprisingly my body dont react like that to broccoli i had eaten 2 more extra pieces of chocolate coconut crunch yesterday for afternoon tea so i think that could have been the corprit. I actually quiet enjoy eating a lot of veges and from brussel sprouts ( which i dont like when not pregnant ) to roast potatoes with lots of salt on top ... i am slowly going off red meat and i drink about 1 and a half to 2 750 mil bottles of water a day well i try to
And with the baby's foot feeling.. i have been feeling it right the way though since about about 16-18 weeks pregnant it just gets a bit stronger every week LOL and it was like that with baby number 3 but it was just his head jumping up and down, and this baby was in fully breach position at the 21 week scan ( i think they called it breach with flexed legs the leg tucked under bottom)so hoping head is down on the 30th when i go for my scan then i know it is just her head jumping in and out my pelvis LOL
At the minute i am backing some bread i had a weird craving for cinnamon and raisin bread it sound gorse but i am going to try it LOL
