Ivy and Noah are good, growing well and starting to move more, I think getting out of that newborn stage. No sign of rolling over yet but starting to get stronger in tummy time and the smiles, laughs and conversations have well and truly started up.
Noah is a big boy, weighing 6.8kgs and Ivy is 5.2kgs.
We are weaning Noah off the thickened formua now because the ECHN thinks that is what has caused his massive weight gain.
Ivy has late onset reflux and projectile vomiting, which is not so nice but have been there done that with two others so know the drill. Yesterday, though there was some blood in the vomit, so a bit scary. Have started zantac today and for the first time in weeks, she has slept more than 20 minutes in the day.
As for me, I'm feeling a bit isolated and stuck in the house, worried that I'm heading down that PND path again but hoping not. There is just so much going on, I think and am feeling overwhelmed.
My Dad died in March and left a stipulation in his will that if my sister wanted to see any of his estate she had to get clean and get her kids back. For those of you who don't know my saga, my sister is a drug addict and I foster her boys, they have lived with us for the last five years and we have permanent custody of them until they are 18. AJ is turning ten and Mal is 8 but he is developmentally delayed because of all the crap she pumped into herself when she was pg.
Anyhow, she has had nothing to do with the boys for the last three years, October 2003 was her last access visit, and she didn't turn up.
Now because she wants the money she has come back into our lives through my evil stepmother, who is supporting her. Evil Stepmother (ESM)
professed to hating my sister six months ago and my psycho sister reciprocated those feelings right back at her. ESM said that my sister had caused my dads cancer.
To cut a long story short, on top of dealing with my dad's death, two premmie babies and five other kids, I now have to deal with the interfering ESM and my sister, who the last time I spoke with her told me she was going to kill my kids and my husband, so I knew what it was like to be without my family because she felt I had stolen her children from her. (I didn't, she abandoned them one weekend, after coming into some money). It doesn't matter what I do or say, ESM can't see that my sister only wants my dad's money and is using her AND that the one's that are going to suffer MOST out of all of this, are the boys.
So that's me, feeling very lost in all of this bull****. Thank god school holidays are over tomorrow!
