Hi all, so sorry i haven't dropped in in a while..for some reason BB wouldn't let me post in forums?? Seems to be working today so figured i'd update

Thanks to Lulu, Christy...and ummmmm whoever else gave me info about claiming centrelink carers allowance...we have a follow up appointment for Ethan next month so will ask the dr. to fill out the claim forms then.

Ethan has his assessment with EI next week WOOOHOO looking forward to getting the ball rolling there. I've been looking into starting a sensory diet with him, i think a lot of his behaviour/hyperness/stimming is because of sensory processing issues so hopefully the diet will help.

Today has been a crappy day poor Dh was up last night with a spewy bug which means its only a matter of time before the rest of us get it and ethan always goes feral when he's sick. We're off to a wedding next week so am praying we're all ok by then
Ethan hasn't been having his day sleeps lately which means he's absolutely cranky,feral and yuck by 3pm. I just lost my lolly with him and put him into bed in a vain hope that he'll sleep but i doubt it. He has been constantly hitting,pushing and screaming at his little brother. Some days its literally every 5 minutes that i'm telling him not to hit. By the end of the day i'm so exhausted from repeating myself
And to top it off i've got a touch of mastitis! I must have slept on my booby (dam sensitive breasts) which caused a nasty big lump. Yesterday i felt terrible, with fever and overal yucky flu like symptoms. I was able to get a little nap while the boys were resting which was nice. The lumps still there today. Not as big but still there. I've been offering DS2 more feeds on that booby and gently massaging the lump..all the right things and i'm starting to feel a bit better, still bloody painful though.

Ah well thats life ey'
