MD, I saw your post in here about Montessori, is that the one? - that is what got me interested. I should look in the education forum, I am sure there must be something there. Remember that your body has been knocked around a bit by all the chemo drugs, it might take a few months for AF to return to her former glory. I also have a stance against pet shop pets - puppy farmers with no actual interest in the wellbeing of the pups.
That reminds me - I was talking to mum the other day and she mentioned they are getting ANOTHER puppy early next year! OMFlipping Gosh! That will take them up to 11. Yes, 11 dogs.
The midwife was just here doing Amelias last check when William pops up and says to her "Our house is messy" lol
hi everyone
MD - maybe the lack of af is a chemo related thing? your bosy has been through so much babe.. hope you are enjoying your well deserved massage - i am jealous!
Arte - that is sooo funny. gosh they come out with hilarious things! how did the check up go?
Oz - hoep you are enjoying your time with your mum. or that you are in immense pain right now...
MM - when do you go to bali? YAY! btw looking at the pics of M she doesnt look chubba to me, so i hope you arent still worried about that?
Noni - allok babe?
Kate - glad things are ok with ypu and Rory - is the counsellinghelping? LOL at the c/s cake!
Ange - hope Lu is OK
Clare - enjoy the last few days - have gelato, shop and eat... dotn envy your moving when you get back but soon you will be in your new house. YAY!
better go - am surpirsing muself with loads of housework today... on a bit of a roll so off i go to do some more.. and then to take J to the nruse for a head measurement
Gosh girls we are losing our mojo - we neverhave new posts!!!
Took J to the nurse - head is measuring well, been growing which is a good thing. was a nice nirse this time who made me feel i was doing everything right! love those ones! he has put on heaps of weight (is about 6.5kg now - cant believe it - over 2 times birth weight) so that's good.
His excema is quite bad, and i ordered some moo goo excema cream and the moisture cream so hoping that arrives soon and makes an improvement. she did mention that certain things in my diet can cause a flare up (it has def flared up in last few days) - tomatoe being one.. interesting as on my new diet i am eating lots more salad (mainly tomatoe and cucumber...). hmmmm. anyone know anything about this. she said strawbs may also cause it which is a bummer as they are v low ww points and i just bought 2 punnets!
MP- we have eczema issues too. Strawbs and toms are a trigger here, as well as soy and dairy. It is such a pita. Sas has eczema on her chin, shoulders, knees and elbows atm, so i am off everything as of today.
How was the massage MD? I am hanging for one, but dad is sailing in the world masters games so no such luck this week.
Oh Ange that's interesting - so do you just cut them out when she has a flare up? I think I will give toms a miss for a bit and see how we go. I havent had more dairy than usual but toms I def have...
I guess i should also cut out strawbs as they would have similar effect to toms. what a bummer!
Yeah, i do notice it is better when i avoid all those things. Strawbs were a big issue for Lu, i found out a large % of kids have allergies to strawbs. So we are just avoiding them as a precaution this time around. Ideally i wouldn;t have those things at all, but sometimes i have a binge, then por Sassy pays for it.
MP - I've noticed Missy E goes a bit pink sometimes around the mouth after strawbs so I'm not surprised if they might set off ecxsema (sp?)...and tomatoes too (they set me off sometimes or if I have a lot of food high in food chemicals, eg spag bol one night followed by pizza the next and a packet of cheezels in there somewhere) so wouldn't be surprised. I wouldn't think cucumbers would be a prob tho, there's lots of nice salad veg without toms - just use pickled veg or gherkins if you want some tang in your salad instead.
Ange - I'm sorry I've missed the connection between your dad and massages...? Is he your personal masseuse...??? Is that weird or is it just me? Anyway the massage was FANTASTIC, totally went to the bliss zone, she had to tickle my feet to get me back again LOL. I see the same lady each time and it just gets better and better.
Arte - LOL at the messy house. That boy sure knows how to the air the laundry doesn't he
Just to clarify re the menopause thing - it's poss the chemo has switched off my ovaries (I've had a few other weird symptoms) which can either be temporary or permanent - hopefully temporary. In any case they'll put me on tamoxifen which creates an artificial menopause - but it's not always permanent either. I watched this thing on Oprah a few months ago where they showed that the main thing that makes women attractive to men is when they are fertile (ie OESTROGEN) and since the hormone replacement path is lost to me forever, I'm hoping for the sake of my DH that I've got a few years of fertility in me yet, despite all of that. I'm not ready to enter my crone years yet . It's hard enough losing a boob without losing your mojo permanently as well.
ETA - Kate meant to say good to hear from you, sweetie. Sounds like you're doing a good job of getting DP onto the same page as you.
Arte if you type montessori site:.bellybelly.com.au into your google search bar it will spit out a list of all the threads on BB about Montessori and save you trawling through the forum looking for them.
Clare hope you sucking all the juice out of your last few days in Bella Italia...so exciting that you'll be moving when you get home, big job but nothing like moving back into your very own special place called HOME!!!!
