    Nic - glad Nixon's op went that great. Hope he gets better in the sleeping deparment soon

    Sally - Bummer on the losing weight, I also hope it goes WAY up next month. Keep us posted on his speech and OT appointment. How are things going in the TT department?

    I am too scared to say that dd has slept straight through for the last three days!!!! I am extatic. She is in her big bed and comes and wakes ME up in the mornings
    She also made a poo in her potty last night and it was like christams came twice. We were jumping and clapping hands and just going crazy ... and then I was just trying with all my might to keep her from picking the poo OUT of the potty. We threw it in the loo and made her flush it. She closed the subject with a very sweet "bye-bye" while waving at the loo. We are still holding off on official potty-training, but I let her sit on the potty when she ask.
    She is begining to chat up a storm and are really getting the hang of some longer words like: helicopter.

    I can't believe they grow up this quickly!!

    I've been good, thanks Sally... getting really really big But that is what should be happening. Dr is extreamly positive that there will be no problem with this little man staying where he is until term ... or that is 39 weeks when he will be born. So we are happy and cooking away My bp is normal, so is my urine and tbh I feel good overall. I have been getting some "dazed and confussed" spots, but I put that down to being a bit tired and the weather being hot and my ob agree. It's like being pg for the first time ... I feel kicks the I have never felt with dd (feet under my ribs) and I actually fit into my pg clothes!!

    Lelani has been showing intrest in the loo for quite a while now and we have had successfull wee's in the potty, but I'm holding off because 1) she can't pull down her own pants yet, neither take of her diper 2) Although she is really begining to understand me, I feel that she is not yet "there" to really grasp what I want her to do 3) She only tells me AFTER the fact and 4) I think it might be best if I wait till after the baby is born.

    he sits on the potty and reads magazines
    Wonder if he gets that idea from his daddy

    I moved dd to a single bed about 10 days ago ... It's bad in the sense the I can't just pop her and her bottle in the crib and walk out and 15 minutes later return to a sleepy baby without crying. NOW I lay down with her (I'm just to lazy to get up everytime she crawls out of bed) and have to WAIT till she falls asleep ... anything from 20-40 minutes. But I'm glad I'm doing this now, HOPEFULLY she will get it by the time ds comes. She is sooo smart, she knows that the big bed is "lani's" and her cot is now "bennie's bed"

    What is happening with you??

    where is everyone?!

    Congrats sally again on the birth of baby Tristan. Im sorry you have to go through the prem journey again but I'm sure your already noticing the difference that extra 4weeks you got to keep him inside has made.

    We are travelling along ok. Im going to make an appointment for Nixon to see a dentist. Actually i am already dreading it though because he does not cope well with being put into a position he has no control over..... he has complained of a cold tpounge/ sore tounge a couple of times but i wonder if he means he has a sore tooth.
    last night he took 2hrs to get to sleep and he let me look in his mouth and pointed tot he roof of his mouth but i couldnt see anything abnormal.

    Nixon had a hospital stay last month. he had a viral infection which he had high 39 tempts for 6 days straight. i had taken him to the gp twice, hospital once, medical centre once before actually getting admitted the second time at hospital after he was severly dehydrated. he spent 3days in hospital. he has been a lot more needy and clingy since coming home from hospital

    he is still having/needing a day sleep and today he did not have one, as predicted 5pm he falls asleep and has been a horror ever since. so i put him to bed at 730pm and he is still upset. It sounds so horrible but im just really past his carry on some times, i thought he would be getting out of this by now but he seems to carry on more....


    i hope everyone is well.
