That is wonderful news CSAB, what amazing gains for little V, for a plump little belly I am so happy for you today, your news really brightened up my day
Thanks Beema, I have never seen her with chubby thighs, and now you can see little rolls. Its sooo nice to see. Its nice seeing her fill out a bit. Still getting asked by people if V was premmie. A lady yesterday had her DS same age as V running around and asked how old V was. When we told her she was 13mths, she couldnt believe it as her DS is double the size. lol. Hows little Nakita going?
It reminds me when we caught up with our mothers group one week, all th eother babies had lots of gorgeous rolls. Nakita had started to get a crease (the beginnings of a roll) on her thigh, I was soo darned excited, I think the other girls thought I was a bit nutty
But I think it was really just a lack on understanding...
To hold and cuddle your child for months on end, feeling and knowing there are so skinny, their bottom not being round and plump, but a series of creases of skin. When they raise their eye brows there are rolls of skin, with features similar to a very old frail person. To see a baby fill out, the bones dissappearing and the facial features rounding out, it just a beautiful moment and should be treasured. It begins to lift those fears and the feelings of failure, finally I am doing something right (even though all along your have been, but you finally get to see the rewards)
Nakita is doing well, she has started puling up on furniture and has the desire to want to walk, she really wants to run, but still has a lot of work on her stabilizing muscles and core before she will be a stable walker. I estimate sometime in the new year, unlikely between now and Christmas. She is taking some steps holding on with one hand, but has a very wide stance and is quite unstable and doesn't seem to be able to maintain and centre of balance. But it will all come in time, we are just over the moon with her developments since starting physio 5 months ago
I am just so hapy for you, that the Pedi is making a difference, I can't wait to see how big she is by her Paed's appointment!
I tried to post a while ago but I ended up losing the post, then forgot to get back in here and re post it. So sorry in advance girls.
Beema- I hear you with the rolls, its so nice to see them appearing especially when there werent any signs of them to begin with. It just makes you feel like things are going in the right direction. I dont think some people really realise the im pact these the rolls have on us until they experience it themselves. Speaking of bottoms, I can see V's butt get a little chubbier, yet her thighs just put a smile on my face.
V is doing the same as Nakita, walking around the furniture, she isnt steady on her feet though still alittle shakey mainly when holding one hand, so may take a while before she can take her first steps on her own. I am so thrilled for you that Nakita is progressing well, what a journey you have been on.
Since last time I posted here, V was doing well until the weekend and ended up sick. So now trying to get her to eat properly again. So I am hoping that with her being sick it hasnt interfered with her weight gains. I guess I will know for sure soon. I am thinking of you and Nakita... hugs.
thepixie - Thanks so much for popping in hun, It is such a good feeling seeing the fat appearing, she is still quite small though, but she is getting there. I really appreciate you coming in. Thanks again. Hugs
Great news csab on the chub front, I love it when the little bum gets round and plump, Nakita's is lovely now
How is Miss V going since the weekend, is she increasing her intake again? I hope that a little bump has little or no impact on her gains, but I think the Paed will be happy with the improvement so far, she has come a long way in such a short amount of time with the Pedi.
Nakita's walking is improving all the time, physio is pushing her further each time and we have a little push along trolley, with a couple of sandbags in it as it slips on the polished concrete floors, so it can't go too fast and she is loving pushing that, we just have to turn it for her as she can't turn it yet.
We have another physio session Monday then we have a break until January when she gets assessed again, but we are hoping that she will get discharged then, we saw the senior physio Monday before our normal session and she was really happy with her development since the intervention and said she will be walking in to our session in January
Take care and praying for lots of chubby rolls for Miss V :hugs:
Thanks Beema, V has the flu, so still hastn been eating a great deal unfortunately. I did have her weighed on Friday, and was 6.75kg fully clothed and a bit of a full nappy. Will find out next week though how much exactly she has put on at the peads next week. She now has 12 teeth. Her Dr, seemed to think she looked skinnier than last time she saw her, but longer.
How did Nakita's physio go today? I hope all went well. Wanted to say, what a great idea with the sandbags. The walkers go too fast for V too, so worry she is going to fall flat on her head.
Do you think Nakita has small ankles and wrists. V has such tiny ankles and wrists, We were at a little boys b'day party yesterday and I was looking at some fo the bubs there and their ankles looked huge compared to her. One little girl is 8weeks older than V and I swear her ankles are 10times the size of V's.
Cant wait to hear how everything went for little Nakita, I so hope she blew them away with how wonderful she is doing.
for a plump little belly
I am so happy for you today, your news really brightened up my day
