Our Baby Boy *we cant wait to meet you*
Our Baby Boy *we cant wait to meet you*

Hi, Im Danielle Im 18yrs old and live with my boyfriend of 3Years.

I'm currently 35 weeks pregnant, We are having a boy and are naming him Ashton Jay.Im due 12th july 2008 and i cant wait to meet my little man,Im just a little scared about giving birth lol!!

My boyfriend and I live in our own house together, we have been living together for around 1 1/2 years . I have 3sisters, 2 have their own families living here in VIC and my other sister is only 8 and lives with her mum in S.A...

We've got everything ready for the baby already,so we're quite proud of ourselves lol..My sister Chantell told me about this site, so ive come on here to meet new people and get some advice from people about things that may come up. I know alot about kids being only 18 but not much about being pregnant so its all new to me and im worried about alot. So ill be able give advice about kids but not much about pregnancy unless its early stages and will only be from my experience.

I really dont know what else to say but if i think of anything i'll put it in.                                                                                   

 Also my ticker (below) is 5 days out, i dont know how to change it, Soz...Baby Boy

Here they are...

Comment Published at 22:3222:3213 comments13 comments61 Visits61 VisitsReport

Im very happy with the photos, i wish they had more but they only had 5, so you get a big 1 of each and 5 different sized ones of each and also the cd, all up $390 but its worth it i think. I do think i could do some of these myself, i did have a photoshop program from my sister but could never work it out so i might go buy the latest one and strat doing my own photos of Ashton. I will definetly be going gback to these people when Ashton can sit up, they can take some pretty kool photos then.

Ashton didnt go to sleep till 3am, first time in ages his done that but he had a bis sleep in that day. Right now his sleeping lol, he watched wiggles and i bounced around for him and he got tired and konked out!! Not sure what im doing today, probly nothing, might just do a big clean around here. I havnt been able to do much cos i like to keep a close eye on Ashton while his not 100%. I still havnt started the sntibiotics, i need to go back to teh docotrs. I did ask a chemist if its the right dose and she said yes but its the highest one he can have for his weight. I just want to ask the docotr what do i do if his runny poo gets worse, i dont want it to burn his bum or anything.

But yeh his been fine, rash is slowly going, he has been left with a darker brown mark on his belly tho, doctor isnt worried and neither was the hospital. His been drinkng well, sleeping well and very happy when his awake. He kicks his legs so much, he gets all excited lol..He is still lifting himself up and its so funny cos he pulls this major greasy while he struggles to sit up, and he falls back down.

Well hope you like the photos, like always, ill have a geez around here thend o what i gotta do.

We went to the doctors today

Comment Published at 04:3904:394 comments4 comments22 Visits22 VisitsReport

He had the medical records the hospital made sent to him. Hes aid it looks like contamination but he doesnt want to take any risks so the baby is starting antibotics tomorrow. He said even if the baby doesnt have staph and takes the antibiotics it wont harm him it will just flush out his blood. He still has the rash which has gone lighter on his legs but more red everywhere else but he isnt concerned because the bloods are normal and the baby has no temp and is feeding and sleeping well and very happyw hen he isnt sleepy or hungry.

So i went and got him the antibiotics. He is to have 3 times a day. When i got home i looked at the bottle and it says on the sticker to give him 4ml, 3 times a day. To me that sounds a little much for  a 6kg baby so im going to go back tomorrow or call them to make sure its correct before i start it. Also it says it can cause alot of side effefts like thrush, severe diarreoh, headaches, joint pain, heaps of them and i just want to ask about the diarreoh because he already has it and i dont want it to get worse!!...I wouldnt really call it diarreoh what he has tho, cos its not pooing constantly, its just one sloppy poo a day.

I had a call 2weeks ago about Ashtons 2month checkup that got changed but im not sure if it was today or tomorrow because i forgot the day so ill just walk there tomorrow to see, and im not sure if they'll want to see him if his sick so ill just check with them first. I know he weighs 6.2kgs but i want to know his length and make sure he is growing properly and can do everything he should be. He is already trying to lift himself up!! Its so cute, he'll be sitting in his couch and when your talking to him he lifts his head up more forward but falls back down after a few seconds. He is smiling alot and making noises, he even squeels sometimes when his excited. First he liked to gurge at you but his new favourite is blowing bubbles and dribbling everywhere!

Tomorrow i go and pick up his photos he had done. I looked on there internet site about comments they had and one person said since she had her kids photos with these people she now calls pixi photos "poxi photos" hahahaha, so hopefully they are as good as this lady was saying. Im so excited, i cant wait to see them, gonna cost an arm and a leg tho but he didnt have the hospital ones cos they didnt bath him an dhis head was still weird from the vac so this makes up for it.

Well mite make a coffee and have a look around here. Ashton will be awake anytime soon so i wont get to stuck into anything here at home cos i wont get it finished.

update on ashton

Comment Published at 06:5206:526 comments6 comments23 Visits23 VisitsReport

Well today we took ashton to the doctors. The doctor was not happy at all. The hospital never gave me a letter to give to the gp so he was angry becasue by law he cant treat what he doesnt know about. He still took a look at bubs and says the rash looks harmless and looks like a viral rash that needs to take its course. When i got back home i rang the hospital and told them my doctor needs all ashtons test results by tomorrow by 3pm. I got a call back from another doctor, She told methat its been 48hrs and if something were to grow in his blood it would have by now. She also said the type of staph which showed in the first culture was a contaminated sort and she thinks it happened because a drip was tried 4 times. Same as ive been told, bring him back if anymore purple rash appears.I told her the purple has faded but the rash is now on his stomach but red and looks like when your cold, she put this down to viral.

So as far as i know he is fine.Hasnt had a temp thorugh all of this, no vomiting,no crying other then the usual sook. When we got back to the doctors tomorrow i want to know that he hasnt got staph 100% or ill be asking for another blood test. I dont like hearing my little man scream or for himt o be in pain but he'd be alot worse if he has this and it isnt treated. Im almost certain he doesnt tho because the staph they found is contimated from his first bloods, a whole new blood test was checked and it was all clear.

This has been a very scary few days for us and im glad everything is looking to be fine. I will let you know he goes tomorrow.

24hrs of hell

Comment Published at 08:3408:3418 comments18 comments46 Visits46 VisitsReport

Sunday night at about 8.30pm i noticed prurple dots on ashtons legs.I freaked and called nurse onc all, she said to get to the hospital immediatley. So while i was crying cos i was so scared i got ashtons things ready and headed off. He was so happy tho smiling, kicking, making noises ect.

Got there nd they took him in staright away. They examined hima nd straight away said meningacocol or meningitis. I was crying so much, i was so scared for my little man. They had to do bloods and put drips in for antibiotics so goran took him. The way he was screaming i felt like dying, i felt so bad for him. After 3 failed drips they got the 4th one in. Bloods got sent away and antibiotics was started.

They were confused thoa s he had no temperature no vomiting and he waas really alert. I called my mum and she and my step dad came down. By then they needed to do another drip :( there wasnt enoguh blood for tests :( my mum and step dad took him ina nd once again i was crying in fear and in sadness over my little mans pain.

His whole arm was abndaged up and after a cuddle he was fine and smiling again. He kept trying to eat he drip and the tube that was hanging out teh bandage but i finally got him t sleep,he was buggered.  Then a new rash apperaed on his hand. The bloods came backa nd nothing was found. Becasue of the rash on teh hand they wanted to to give im a spinal tap but i said no unless its an absolute must. In teh end the didnt need to as tehre was still no other signs.

All nigt he was monitored and still fine. At 7am we were finally taken to teh childrens ward and antibotics were stopped. No more rash apperead. Then one doctor said he wanted to catherize him, i said no way. Another doc said they can let me sit with a cup and wait. In teh end it wasnt needed.

He was still doing well the hole day, no new rashes, no temp, was eatign fine and very alert when he was awake. We were told to wait for a doctor and he may be able to go home. By then i had figured out the new marks on his palm of his hand, because he had clenched fists when he was getting drips, when he was squeezing he pushed so ard with his nails he puncturted vessels. I could tell this because when i clenchd his fists all teh marks added up to where his fingers touched and creases met.

By 9pm ashton was checke dover againa nd te doctor said she coudnt see anything new, no fever ecta nd if it was what they thoguhtit would have flared up by 24hrs. so we got to take him home.it is all put down to a viral infection.

We have been home since 9.30pm and its now 1.30am, Ashton is sleeping and still no temp or new rash. Im taking him to the docs tomorrow becaus etehospital told me too.

The rash on his legs looked like dark veins on his feet and prurple pin ppricks and red marks on his legs. They are warm so blood is circulating. I was so scared and i am still a little now but all teh docotrs reassured me if it was dangeous he would be very sick which his not.

This was sucha  scary experience and i hope it never happens again or to anyone i know. I still feel really abd for Ashton for all the pain he had to go through but it had to be done to rule everything else out.

Well better go to bed, ive had no sleep.

Hope you all had a great weekend.

Dannii xxo
