Aww, congrats to the PAP (newly extended) family. I had tears reading of how proud her DH is of our beautiful PAP. I wish you a fantastic babymoon and can't wait to hear how it all turned out...and of course the wonderful naming announcment.
Loving having the cricket back on - can pop on here in the evenings and not feel at all guilty because DH is plastered to the TV!!
MD - fingers crossed the uni is lenient on you. great news on the liver front.
Rainy - K only has said a couple of words and they aren't often repeated IYKWIM? The speechie we saw wasn't too worried as DH and I both spoke quite late and K was obviously fully understanding everything that was asked of her. We were told to try and make her vocalise instead of point (like do you want milk or juice - but don't have them there in front of her at first so she can point to them), have toys that she can make noises with (ie cars that you can make beep beep noises as you move them around so she gets the idea from that). The big one for us was not to talk in full sentences, just focus on the key word. Rather than say 'Did you want some more?', just say 'more?' Also encourage her to say it afterwards 'more. Katie say more'. Also it probably took us almost 2 months between the referral from the MCHN and actually seeing the speechie through the public system.
Noni - hope the excema isn't too bad, I'm sure she will get the hang of showers quickly.
Can't say I have seen much of Hannah Montana, but seeing as I record H2O, Just Add Water (great teenage mermaid show) I think I would probably be into it.
The doctor didn't ring back today so I'm not sure to take it that they aren't concerned or that she didn't get the message. Although the receptionist I spoke with has a daughter in the toddler group and I know they play with each other a fair bit so I think for her own peace of mind she would have made sure the doctor got the message.
Some of my school friends are getting together (without babies) for dinner next week and DH told me I should go up to Canberra for the night so I think I will do that. Will be staying with my sister so I can catch up with her too so that will be good. I'm having all of next week off work so will have to take DD out by herself a few afternoons to make it up to DH (especially as he will be home with her all the next week)
once again, i'm only on for a quickie... Pap I'm so happy for you!!!! Congratulations on the birth of your precious little boy. And, as everyone has commented - what an absolutely wonderful hubby you have. Being loved and loving is what life is all about.
thanks so much for all that info cally, i really appreciate it. will definitely be trying all those ideas and will speak to the mchn about lewis next time i take jimmy down there for his weight check.
taking jimmy for his needles this morning bbl xoxo
hey everyone,
thanks for the hose idea md i got dp to pick one up and it worked a treat.. we are only using sorbelene to wash her except for her hair and are using after the bath too as shes quite dry.. dr isnt sure if its eczema for sure yet but we have a paed appt today so maybe he can clear it up for me.. spent 2 hours on the phone yesterday ringing around to different paed offices trying to get asha in to talk about allergy testing as well as to get her rash looked at and a possible asthma assesment *sigh* why now?? finally got someone to feel sorry for me because before this place the only appt i could get was september!! even with private paeds which this one is too! basically she just double booked me coz i said id be happy to wait if it meant we could see someone, me being so heavily pregnant and also considering asha has come up in welts a few times now and we dont know what it is!! eeek
anti natal appt this morning and that this avo shopping and lunch in between with mum.. gonna be a big day! ive been so lazy lately too just laying around, no motivation or energy!!
interesting re kids that cant switch their brains off i think that might be Asha too.. even when she comes into bed with us sometimes she will roll over in the middle of the night and shake u to wake u up and just look at you with very wide eyes and say "hiiiii mummy" its very cute but can be very frustrating in the middle of the night!!
md - meant to say also have my fingers and toes crossed for you!!
must be off gotta start getting my crap together for the day hope everyones having a lovely morning and maybe even a sleep in!!
Actually that makes sense, they are always on the go during the day, must be hard to switch off their brains at night. I know if I dont have a 'wind down' time after work or a full day, I take forever to get to sleep.
Noni - What a mission trying to get an appt. Glad you got one in the end, hope you can get some answers and get to the bottom of it.
Cally - Thanks for that info it has helped me too. I will start trying using one words and encouraging her to repeat.
MD - I like your idea of booking for a speechie now & cancelling if need be. Might do that for M actually. I am actually thinking of having her hearing tested, she always had ear aches when she was younger & I notice her ear is often really gunky - dont know if that would be anything suss but the doc always comments on it but doesnt seem bothered. How did uni go? I start back at uni in a couple of wks
Arte - LOL Billy Ray are you serious!? HEHEHEHE so funny. YES DH is still loving his plasma. As for foxtel, its a bit over rated I think, but we are on the basic $40 a month package anyway. The top package is like $100 odd a month!!!!
Rainy - Good luck with J's needles.
Off to toddler town with M this morning, seeing as we had an indoor day yesterday & toddler gym has finished for the term. I signed her up again for next term, its only $75 per term & she loves it. Apart from that it works off so much steam she has a good sleep after it.
Does anyone know what age they start dancing? M is still loving her dancing, I think she will be like me & my sisters, we are all dancy people lol.
