Tegan- that is good about the hearing. It is quite possible that she is being stubborn LOL, which doesn't help you stress less but is not a super bad scenario. Some kids just do what they want when they want and not a minute before. It is hard not to worry, I worry about Jess being so small and she is the 4th, it's perfectly natural. If you are not happy with the MCHN's assessent then maybe talk to your gp and get a referral oif you are really worried, otherwise I guess it is just a waiting game. Kep encouraging her to talk and just see what happens. If she wants something and grunts for it then tell her the word and don't give it to her with just a grunt instead of a word. It is hard too bc pg makes you hormonal too which can make things seem so much worse than they are. I founf with Josh too he would talk his people, (little people) and have 2 talking to each other and be waffling away. Maybe play with her with dolls and people and talk to them, see what she does. She may talk to a doll and act like a mummy.

try to not get too worried
