Hello,
I lost my entire post today. I was so ripped off because Jasmine was having the best after breaky sleep that went from 9.00 til 1.00pm. I don't know where that came from, she wasn't sick or anything just slept (like a baby). So there I was writing a record holding long leisurely post and I was banging on to KellyD about how the hearing aids are a waste of time and how no one from the therapy programs has been back in touch and it's all a bit frustrating as the cochlears have to be done before she turns 12 months, and you wouldn't believe it, the phone rang and I was put on a conference call with 4 people who are coordinating all the interviews and arranging meetings with all the relevant people to get the ball rolling on cochlear implants and therapy.. Half an hour later, I get back to my almost finished BB novel and wouldn't you know...the Gremlins ate it.

So the news onthe cochlears is that we are now looking at having them done before 7 months old if all the pre tests and screens show she is compatible, so it's action stations now. we have to have all our appointments in Brisbane so that's going to be a bit of air and car travel and we have to have all the ground work done, like CT scans, MRI scans (under general anaesthetic) before the implants, which all is done in Brisbane Wow! I feel like the White Rabbit now.

Greenslw: yep, he's deadly serious about the job on Kangaroo Island . this is a real springboard inthe beginning of his new career as a wildlife biologist if he gets it. Of course, if I said, lets not do this because it's going to break my heart to be so far from my family, he would think that's perfectly reasonable and would pull out, but we have always worked as a team and this is one of those things that is too great an opportunity to miss out on. He is so nervous, I had to pull out a few flippin swear words to get him to settle down this morning. He put my flippin butter and bread away 3 times in the space it took me to toast my bread. Anyone would think he was pregnant...haha, didn't you put your mail in the toaster??? Well i called DH a feckin eedgit and I think that cleared things up. It's those loving supportive words that get us through

BG: Sorry to hear that you are dealing with a loss in the family and it's impacting on Emerald. I hope that everything is back in balance for you all soon.

I can't do my long ramble that I wanted to cos I gotta take DH to the airport tomorrow and gotta catch some zzzzzs. He is taking the internet connection with him...booo! So for those of you who know me, that's no man, no internet and no T.V!!!!!!! Is this the Armagedon???

P.S just to add to your brag file on baby weights...oh dear, mine is a wee bit I sometimes feel that I should be in the premmie thread when you girls do your comparisons...Jazzy is now on the chart for weight and is in the bottom 3rd percentile She is perfectly happy and never loses weight and she is now measuring 59cm so she is getting to be long and lean. Her head has always been in the 50th and length as well, and weight was so far off teh chart it didn't rate, so big sheers for 3rd percentile and 4.47kilos (last week).

Neptune, it's never lost on me that that was Adam's weight born and now Jazz is 14 weeks. she was only 2 weeks early so my placenta wasn't in great shape like yours.

I said heaps more before but have to say it another time and will miss you for three whole days...
