well thankfully it's been a quiet time on here so not too much to catch up on for a change. drum roll please...results in on thursday....all Jasmine's MRI and CT scans came back normal so looks like a green light for the cochlears. I still haven't had the answer to my appeal against medibank's decision not to fund us early but apparently the decision is in and if I didn't hear on Friday (nope), then on Monday I will know one way or the other. It's been a tense time.
In other news, Jazzy and I travelled to Townsvillle on our own and her dad caught up with us on the weekend and flew home with us. Oh dear what a lot to arrange the morning of the flight there. Took Andy to the airport for his flight to Canberra for a conference, came home and got ourselves ready, then drive to catch ferry, caught ferry, drove to Adelaide, then for the most important bit, I forgot to go to the loo before arriving in the long term car parking and nearly wet myself trying to work out how to get from the car, struggle with lugggage and a baby in a sling, find out if and when the bus takes us to the terminal ...pheww. made it. Deep breath. My sister was texting stuff to me and all I could manage, was "I'm having a crisis, need to pee". Oh I honestly bow down to single mothers who have no choice other than to do everything on their own.
Townsville was great. We went for a wedding, the wedding was cancelled (no sadness there), the groom went ahead with the reception (albeit a watered down version because most of the guests are his long time friends and we were all there for him). How awkward, the raving bride showed up so you can imagine the lead balloon effect that hung over the funeral, err, I mean...err.
Meanwhile my sister arranged an impromptu Welcoming party so that the kids could all wear their wedding gear. They were meant to be in the wedding party so were a bit bummed that all their dum dum de dum practice was for naught. Anyway, we had a lovely little photo sesh with the kids and ate party pies so it was just perfect. We are not religious but my auntie made a christening gown when my sister's oldest was born 10 years ago and both of my sister's daughters have worn it at about 4 months old. it was such an honour and it fitted Jazz at 71/2 months.
Lots to say but I'll tell you the milestone of the day. Jazzy ate a pancake. Firsts real solid, other than fingers of food and mash. She bit everything off and chewed it up and finally the dogs discovered what babies are good for as she dutifully broke bits off and fed them. Life is a dream at nearly 8 months, it just gets better every day.
I've attached a huge heap of photos cos I just got FB working for me again. Scroll through very quickly if at all cos there are 71! they are for my family but for any of my BB family too.
