Hi girls - thought I would drop in quickly while I have a chance.
Grub - hope you are having a wonderful holiday.
BW - teaching is such an important and challenging job. I so admire teachers - I used to teach ballet, and I can tell you it certainly made my respect for teachers go through the roof! Thanks for your advice re infection control. We will certainly be chucking Ms J in the shower as soon as we get her home from now on.
Smithy - hope the move is going well. Look forward to having you back soon!
Green - hope Linc is settling down a bit. Jazzy still has times even now that she goes through those clingy stages, but she has always been a bit like that.
Kelly - hope Tara is feeling better. It certainly sounds like a tummy bug to me.
BG - how is work going? Hope you are settling back into it okay.
Hi to Marcellus, Lenny and anyone I have missed.
AFU - I am pleased to report that I have a child who is 100% healthy (knock on wood - don't want to jinx myself). This operation and the medication are like a miracle. We had gotten so used to Jazzy being sick that it was starting to feel normal. It is only now that she is well that I can really look back and appreciate how sick she was and for how long! She managed 2 days at nursery this week. We kept her home with my DH on Wednesday as we just didn't feel she was quite ready, but she went on Thursday and Friday. She was very tired at the end of each day, but that is pretty much the norm when they are at nursery. She was a little teary at drop off but nothing too bad. And - oh my goodness - she is EATING!!! Her lack of eating was obviously related to her not feeling well. I thought she was still getting used to some foods prior to the operation, but it now appears that her lack of appetite was probably a result of the illness. When she was at nursery prior we were lucky if she had a taste of her lunch. Well I am proud to report that on both days at nursery this week she ate ALL of her lunch and ALL of her desert! So proud of her.
We are now down to 3 milk feeds a day (1 booby and 2 bottle). I am about to start weaning her off formula and onto cows milk - I was just waiting on her feeling better, so we may even start on that today. Can anyone whose baby is over a year old tell me if they are still using bottles or if they give the milk in a sippy cup? Jazzy has water from a sippy cup, but I am wondering if I should be starting to get her off the bottle for milk times also. Any advice on this change over would be hugely appreciated, it is all so confusing! She is also in the process of going down to 1 day sleep - some days she does only one, others (like today) she still needs the two.
Much love to all - and here is to a happy healthy little Jasmine!
