Hi girls, Things are still ticking along with us, sorry I haven't posted for a few days. Although I haven't posted, I have managed to pop in during the past couple of days just to check you are all ok.

We are off for a play date this morning with one of neighbours 2 doors down's granddaughter. The little girls is almost 2yo and her name is Tori (great name huh Cindy! She's also a Victoria, Tori). It should be fun to have them together. Our neighbour has a fabbo Lil Tikes cubby in her back garden and a great fish pond so Gussy absolutely loves when we are there. They have a very patient ****er spaniel. Charlie the dog is so good with the kids that once they get bored with the cubby and pond, he has more than enough tricks to keep them entertained. Part of the plan for today is to get Gus at a little table with Tori and see if peer pressure will encourage him to eat. Gussy's still not eating or drinking. It's almost 6 months of no food or self drinking other than water. Not sure whether Tori will have any great influence on him. Certainly our other friends' kids don't seem to have much luck. Not sure what we are going to do next re getting him interested in eating. Six months off food is a looong part of his relatively young life. Our speechie and OT who we see for feeding help are not really managing any real breakthroughs. Aghhhh he will probably turn 2 still not eating - so we won't be able to have him tuck into his birthday cake! boo hoo.

I was looking back at some of the earlier photos of Gussy on our website last night. Something I haven't done for months. I can't believe how different he looks now. Tis really hard to believe that tiny sickly bubba is our boy. Was a great way to remind myself of our far he's come. I was feeling a little disappointed that he's still only 8.1kg. Then I remember he's more than 8 times his birthweight - so he's doing ok. Anyhooo enough rambling. I need to get our bag packed as we're going straight from our neighbours place to an afternoon medical appointment.

Good luck Missy and Tracey with the BDing this month. I still haven't had a period since my D&C so not sure where my cycle is up to. We're going to wait a month or two though - just to be sure my uterus has a nice thick lining again.

Hi to everyone else. Hope you are having a good week. Hope Charlotte and Dylan are sleeping and feeding in a bit more of a manageable routine for you Cindy and Kristie.

Speak soon,
