Babies Born ~ August 2013 #1

Sounds like he is a mummy's boy peace! Ds3 is clingy to me too (which I love!)
Glad it all went well though, I spent last Friday out for a couple of hours which was good I did need some me time (joys of kidlets but wouldn't change it at all)
How did his ultrasound go? Ds3 teste dropped by 6 weeks and with his yearly appt for hypospadias I think they check that region too (but may ask at his next one this year to be sure its still all good lol) maybe it just decided it would hide for that checkup? Specially cause that it had been confirmed down? I assumed once it comes down it should be fine and I know they do move due to temp etc...

Miss L has hit six months and is almost 8kgs, she also has had a change in formula to regular one instead of gold she now poops more too lol! Maybe might be cause she eats alot of solids too as well! She's a little piggy.
She is getting really grouchy as she hasn't master crawling yet! And grouchy as she cannot walk (she's been balancing and standing herself in the walker lately though) got a hot pink umbrella stroller for school runs best money spent this arvo as this morning both me and my sister got covered in baby sick (bloody reflux!) the groundskeepers thought its funny and goo'ed over her, and thankfully tissues and wipes to clean ourselves up. So now easily folded pram for this quick trips out of car into school and back to car without sore arms (and free too keep ds3 from being too cheeky) and also no more vomit on clothing to mop up whilst there!
Poor ds2 (was expecting this) got a letter/paperwork home today as they want an assessment of his motor skills. We haven't been able to succeed in getting him to do alot of thing including writing, bike riding he is clumsy (he didn't walk until 18 months doctor said that was normal though back then?) Ill have a speak to his teachers in the morning about it all and I've signed paperwork so they can, but also see if any other behaviour at home or school could be useful info for assessment too. I really have no idea (ds1 is real sharp on things and very out there child) ds2 is a tad quieter more into imaginative play, distracted easy and goes off in his own world among other things.
Sort of glad too they notice and isn't left behind or anything and so keen already to get things going so hopefully we get good or news to help him if needed.
Don't I have great luck though! Lol.
Sort of like yep just add it to the pile of worry and stress (but something good will come out of ds2 situation no matter what is my take on it)

Hi girls.
Ashie..L sounds like she's doing great guns. Isn't it weird having 2 at home. I know have a grade 1 and a prep kid. Hope you can sort out something with af.

Miloro...good luck with your house. It's a long day adding those extra hours just for travel. Sounds like its working well at day care.

Peace... Good to hear that all went well at work. It's normal to feel that way when leaving your baby.

I'm at work now. I went back on Tuesday because dh has no work, so he's at home with the kids. I didn't and don't want to work, but the money has to come in.
Lachlan is ok. He cut his first tooth on Australia day. We didn't even know until a friend pointed it out. He's eating 2 meals a day. He hates it on his tummy still so just rolls over. He's not sitting yet either. I put him in occasional care for 3 hours a week. He did well yesterday. He's not sleeping though, but he's not feeding overnight. We stoppedhis reflux meds 3 days ago and I think he may need to go back. He's unsettled overnight and crying more during the day.
Better go, I'm on my break. Take care x

[Peace]

Hello ladies

Ashlie I love his clingyness sometimes too. It is a lovely feeling being all the little guy wants. But frustrating eventually too.
Hope your ds2 can get the help he needs, whatever that may be. Laila is just beautiful and from the fb piccies she certainly looks like she's enjoying her food! Gorgeous little lady makes me hope I get to have a little lady to dress up all pretty too. I bought a floral baby bonnet yesterday for my future daughter lol!

Mini I'm sorry you have had to go back to work under those circumstances how stressful for you guys. Hope your coping ok.

We'll Henry had his u/s and the gp recommended surgery which I was not comfortable with so we took it to his pediatrician from birth. The ped said he does not need surgery at this point. The testicle can be "milked" down and is retractable so it moves up and down. In 3 months the ped expects it to be down permanently so we will have to just take him back in a few months if it's still hiding. Jeez I'm glad I'm a girl.
We still have no teeth! But a development this week is he has finally figured out opening his mouth for the spoon lol it's very cute. It's taken him long enough though! Still not actually eating very much but he gets excited for food and gives it a go. We have started swimming lessons too which is so nice.

Let's hope they stay down, surgery isn't fun for anyone. Lachlan must love his food in terms of opening his mouth he's always opened it wide for the spoon. I've started giving him finger food, today it was baked zucchini and sweet potato chips. He's cut his second tooth and had his needles yesterday and he was crook last night and unsettled today. He not even close to sitting yet. He's not having a feed overnight but is awake one hundred times over for either dummy or cuddles!

Dh has work now, so I can relax a little.
