Westie Mums

Yes they wanted us to go to the hospital but because she didnt have anything else they said to keep an eye on her and if anything else happened overnight to go straight to the hospital. But they said to come in today if the spots are still there...

Nevermind, shes happy enough and they arent bothering her...

Hi,
Melissa - poor Olivia, hope they find out whats wrong.. at least she seems like they are not bothering her as you said

The cord bank thing is when they take samples from the umbilical cord and placenta to use the stem cells in case anything goes wrong with bubs in the future. Not so controversial as the stem cells are his rather than using an embrio. Costs $5k total but that is for 18yrs worth of collection and storage of them.

Saw my MW this morning.... everything is just normal which is great!! But it is a pain having to see her once a week LOL

just watch her and if anything changes or the spots spread at all take her. The docs told me they would spread within 24 hours if it is meningitis.

Thanks Girls

On anther note, isnt it such horrible weather out there! It took me an hour and a half to get into work this morning! And killed almost half a tank of gas while i was at it!
Good to hear everything is on track Lauren

they take they cord blood and freeze it, so if anything happens to your baby you can use that blood as it has more nutrient than normall blood bank blood.

What an hour and a half?? OMG!!!! that is terrible.

Tell me about it. People turn into idiots when it rains. It was shocking! I got on at Massey at 7:30ish and at 8:10 i was only at Te Atatu!
You are so lucky you dont have to deal with that for a while.

How long are you planning on taking off?

Not too sure.... FOREVER!! LOL As long as we can manage it, most likely it will be either nov/dec or maybe Jan. Only want to go back to work part time though

That would be nice. I wish i had of stayed off longer.
They were really short staffed and needed me back plus we could do with the extra money

My main problem is, is that at my job either my position will be made redundant so they will have to give me another one if I go back. Our parent company will probably scale us down further in the next year or two anyway.
If I was at a finance company that wasn't in trouble it would be much easier!!!!

It sucks having the unknown. The downside of working for a finance company.
We have our investors wanting to pull out of their deposits for which i dont blame them, but i imagine it is going to make things difficult. Especially when one came in today for $250k

Yay i did it, only took 10minutes to load the picture. Thats good time for my slow ass dail up.

Oh what a cutie!

i want to go back to dial up to save us money.....

Yay you did it, flip im busy at work and i have all my sheets and duvet covers and blnket on the line and its pissing down

i just sighd up to broadband today, 2 get 2months free. Your littly is a cutey melissa, is that oliva?

Its so hard to get a photo of her smiling, thats the closest one that isnt a blur.
as soon as the camera comes out she just looks at it blankly.

Yip thats my poppett

We have broadband through Xtra and my god its soooo slow i think we might as well have dial up becasue at least it'll go faster!

Olivia tends to throw her arms up when we get the camera out so mosty of ours are blurry too. Typical though

hope what broadband plan are you on, if its the "go plan" for 39.99 caped at 3GB a month you would only save $12 a month, unlimited dail up is $27.99. its slow as.

on our old computer dail up would connect at 49Kb what ever. the tect said that was realy good for dailup, then it just got slower and slower.

this new computer dosnt say what it is connected at, but im sure its even slower.

we get 10gb for 42.95 with world exchange and a free dial up which we give to mil

that sound good who is that with?

im not looking at going through telecoms dial up i think they are a rip off. im nt after anything flash we just use the one at home for trade me, interenet banmking adn me coming on here thats it really and sometimes downloading music which we do at night anyway...... im sure there are ones out there for 10$ a month or so beats the 40 we paynow.....trying to save as much as we can while im working

my mum wont let me change her home line, its not in my name but i have authorization for the internet side of it , that kiwi on line is good from what i heard.
have you found draws yet?

hope you can use ours for free if u want.
