Melissa, Glad to hear you're feeling a little less zonked. Let's hope you are feeling MUCH better soon. When you said your mum has her cysts removed, is that with a laser? Fingers and toes crossed you can have yours taken care off asap after your appointment. Can you take time off work as needed while you're not feeling well? What did you do this week at playgroup? F and I haven't been to one before. Keep meaning to but don't seem to have the time or energy. Must prioritise it as a few of the medical people we see say that F would get lots out of it.

Nikki, Aren't you clever little miss hairdresser! You'll have to post a picture onto your website of their new hairstyles. LMAO at the thought of C dressed in a nurses costume. Definitely will need to get that on film!!! We have a toy medical bag that we use to desensitise Gussy to things like taking BP, temperature, stethiscope, auriscope (sp?). Works a treat. He plays doctors and nurses with his stuffed toys Big Bird, Ernie and Bert. Tis sooooo cute to watch. He knows the temperature is taken somewhere below his eyes but doesn't seem too realise it's meant to go under his armpits. So he keeps putting it under his chin and his toy's chins. Then he kind of says "birdie good boy" he he. Every time I try to get the camera out he to take a picture he stops doing it so I haven't managed to get a photo so far. Ahhh... BTW Great idea about the toy library. They are so good! Means you don't have to clutter up your house/yard with big pieces of plastic that they only like for a short while. We're wait-listed for a cubby house at the moment. Seems to be super popular though so could be a long wait.

Tracey, sounds like you're getting Jordan back on track sleep wise. Aren't you a clever mumma. BTW Huge congratulations on your BF efforts. I am really impressed!! How exciting that you're getting ready to start trying to conceive.

Rachel, Can you go swimming at the beach or is it to far. Forgive my geographical ignorance! he he. Fergus is a shorty. Today we weighed and measured him while at the paed. He's put on masses of weight and grown quite a bit (for him), but is still below the 3rd percentile. He's 73cm and 8.28kg.

Kristie, Great to hear your check-up went well. Dylan is a clever boy keeping his head down. I have heard a few people say that they had more BH's with their subsequent pregnancies than with the first and that their labours were shorter. Fingers crossed that it's the same for you (the short labour part anyway)!

Cindy, Congratulations on the move. Must be fab to be in your own place. How frustrating for you to have to wait a while for the internet connection. Let's hope it's up and running soon for you.

Not much to report here. As part of F's physio and occupational therapy has been playing with different textures to try to desensitise him (in case his not eating is related to a texture fear). One of things we have to do is to get him to play with an electric toothbrush. He LOVES LOVES LOVES it. But I think we have created a problem for ourselves. I keep catching him with it down his nappy! Aghhhh sooo not the right thing for a toddler to be doing! I'm sure the child protection agency would be after me if they could see it! he he. Better move onto a new game and confiscate the toothbrush!
