Ali - glad to hear your new kids aren't giving you a hard time. Tori might be making up for it LOL!!! I am sure she will thrive in day care with much more stimulation, I know Marley does. Liam is certainly growing up, 7 months and already pulling himself up. I think the second ones always appear to grow up faster. Trying to catch up to their siblings.
Bath - walking is still going well. We go at least 2-3 days a week. We even went on yesterday when it was a bit showery. It was bloody cold but it felt very invigorating!! Verity sounds like me LOL!!! I use my hair dryer and straightener, always use the dryer and have an awful habit of leaving lights on (I'm a bit naughty). DH is just as bad, leaving the TV on when he goes out! My bill might be cheaper if I started being a bit more vigilant. Its awful when you get some feral supporter at the footy. They seem to ruin the day for everyone around them. Chelsea wants DH to take her to a game, which he is in a couple of weeks, and I am worried about what she might hear. It can get very vocal. I can't believe Wade starts school next year. Do you think he is looking forward to it? You won't know yourself with only Niall at home.
Julie - nesting in the garden! Don't over do it though. Must be fun trying to get up and down?? Hope Will is feeling better, croup must be nasty. It must be nice having your mum here, hope she enjoys her visit and you make the most of her being here. Will be eagerly awaiting the news on Tuesday.
Maya - I know you are sick at the moment, wanted to sendyour way and hope you feel better soon. I love Oscar's surfie look, very cute and it suits him.
Jess - how is the leg. Hopefully getting better for you. Having only TT one child, bribes worked wonders in our house and a reward chart. I can imagine all your kids would have been different to TT? Boys v girls? Who was easier? Marley is just having fun sitting on the toilet and trying to rip as much toilet paper off as she can!!!! No action yet though.
Nic - I love checking to see if you have put more photos on FB. The house is looking so good, you must be loving it. It is so nice watching siblings having fun together.
Marley had her yearly pediatric allergy testing done on Wednesday and no surprises she is still allergic to eggs and cashews. Poor thing didn't cope too well with the pr!ck testing, she screamed and screamed. Its so horrible to see them get so upset. Thankfully the nurse worked quickly. When she wanted to measure the reactions on her back, Marley was so wary of her coming near her. She had to show her the little ruler she had to convince her she wasn't going to pr!ck her again. She did really well for the rest of the testing. Dr said she will likely grow out of the egg allergy by the age of 4-5 but he has had some kids grow out of it sooner - hopefully she is in that category.
We also had him look at the top of her head, it has a ridge on the top. For about 12 months, when she is fast asleep, she rocks herself (on her belly) and bangs her head against the cot bars. Its like it soothes her, weird I know. I have had MCHN look at it and she wasn't too concerned. MIL has been stressing about it for a while so I got Dr to look at it while I was there. He also isn't concerned. He thinks the ridge is just where her fontenelle has closed slightly raised. The banging is just making it red and the hair is getting rubbed away from it. He said if we try to stop the banging, the hair will grow back and the redness stop. DH went and bought $50 worth of dense latex rubber to line the sides of the cot. It has been working, she is not banging it as often. Dr has said to get and X-ray, mainly to convince MIL that there is nothing to worry about. He also told me that this kind of thing is common amongst kids and will usually stop once they go to a bed. We were hoping to put off moving her to a bed until christmas time. Might have to rethink that one!
Chelsea has her first school disco on Sunday. Its a family day for the whole school from 3-5pm and she is so excited about it! She wants me to buy her something special to wear (like mother like daughter). It should be a fun afternoon and I'm sure Marley will love getting up and gigging out!
Sorry for the mammoth rant, that's what happens when I don't pop in often enough.
Have a great weekend everyone!
is she ever sat down she would rock and bang her head back against the chair she was on sorry to say she did until she was at least 10.... Some kids just find it soothing I guess...
So it seems i could have Grave's disease which is a common by product of having babies. However my thyroid level was only slightly above normal... the doctor was very surprised and relieved as I had taken myself off my nasty anti-thyroid tablets a few months ago... he warned me that it would get as bad as before but because my previous test was so good (almost indicating an underactive thyroid!) then he allowed me to stay off them... but my level was slightly too high meaning I have to take 1 tablet a day now... for the next 8 weeks (blood test) at least.
