Hi all, I'm still having vertigo issues, its terrible when it comes on, lasts all day for days. Saw the ENT yesterday and him poking and prodding my ears seemed to set it off again. had hearing test which was pretty much fine so now booked in for an MRI in 3 weeks, considering I'm clautrophobic that'll be fun. I've had so much sick leave from work I feel guilty and worst is I'm not fun mum anymore I'm mum whos always sick so can't play like I used to. Gets me down.
Meg- How is E doing now? I hope shes on the fast recovery track now after all this, poor poppet and poor you too going thru it with her.
Nai- How are the sickies? Hope no more vomiting there.
Olive- glad to hear the lumps are nothing bad, guess just her immune system compensating for all thats been going on.
Malyna- Contract all signed with the house? How exciting. When will be settlement date?
OP- We've not bothered with TT yet. I'm slack lol I can't be bothered dealing with it til I know its going to work, I waited til DD1 was 2.5 then it only took me 2 days and she was done.
Hi to everyone else, replies don't go back any further so can't see everyone!
Thanks girls. DH came home for lunch - alex fell asleep in the high chair, and ended up waking long enough to have a hug with his daddy before DH had to go back to work.
I'm really glad I didn't panic. I think what freaked Alex out the most was his mum grabbing him by his leg and lifting him onto the bank, and then the choking he did afterwards, spitting up the water he swallowed.
I don't wish that on anyone. I think it's going to take me a day or so to get rid of this shakey/weird feeling - I still feel like I'm still in 'save the toddler' mode and it all still has not hit me yet.
Malyna- Omg, how bloody scary, glad he is fine, lucky you were on the ball and quick acting! They just have no fear do they, I remember when we went to feed the ducks and Emily constantly was trying to jump off the pier part into the water. Hope you're feeling alot calmer now.
Kaz- How long did you stay in for? Do you feel you came away with some really helpful advice? How are things going? Improving bit by bit? Have you got a plan in place now of what you can do?
Heaven- After all the sleep troubles you've had thats fantastic she is doing so well now. You both got there in the end.
I've seen on FB few bad sleeping nights going on.
Meg, how is E going?
Emily has been bit off too last week, will wake between 8:30-9:30 really upset then again about 2-3am really upset. Don't know what the issue is, is happy mostly in the day.
Malyna- You poor thing. My heart is in my throat for you. One of my biggest concerns goign to Fiji is a resort full of unfenced water. I have purchased one of those backpacks that are like a harness with a lead. She just runs off and has no fear at all. Lots of deep breaths hun
Kaz- How is J going now?
Shell- how is your vertigo? It sounds horrendous!!
Heaven- Awesome that sleep is improving. YAY for no more morning sickness!
Jols- :clap for Miss M and the potty! I think we will try this Summer when I am on school hols and can really dedicate the time.
OP- DD is big on the tantrums as well and really really active!!!! DP even asked me (after spending some time watching DD with some of her toddler friends if her behaviour is normal as she seems to be the naughty one! I just try and remember that kids develop different things at different times and behaviour is just one of the areas that DD has room to improve (dramatically) LOL!
AFM- So sick of sickness. Not with me, DD always has something! I am over it. Hoping she will be fine for our holiday. Oh also abig news from us is we go DD a toddler bed and she has slept in it the last 2 nights without waking!!!! Fingers crossed it continues. She even had a 3hr day sleep for MIL today in her big girl bed. Will sneak in and take a photo later.
Ali we do potty everynight but miss or she does it in the bath, so hoping she gets it now, well for before bath anyway! no attempts to TT anytime soon here!
toddler bed im not ready to give up the cot yet shes my last...!
Giving up the cot is part of my plan to ge DP to agree to have another baby! I am hoping he will miss it as much as me and want a little bubba to put in it
I still have it set up in DD's room just in case though.
I'm getting Isabel weighed etc next week so will confirm then but I'm pretty sure she's around 12-13kg!
Developmentally, her vocabulary increases every day it seems - she can now say sorry (required with her current behaviour at Playgroup!), mouse, horse, duck, bibi (biscuit), dodo yoyo (Dora yoghurt ), help, away... A whole lot. She's a big talker. She says whole sentences and gets frustrated when we don't understand her - mind the sentence is all babble!
I did get excited when I told her to "help mum pack away the blocks" and she came over and said "help mama way." That's pretty good I think!
So the immunisations - they were ok Nai? Must remember to get a freddo, good call!
OP - immunisations were fine. She had a little cry (ok, scream) but was good after the freddo distraction.
Some of the things that we talked about that she is doing: stacking blocks, running, jumping, climbing. She knows her head, ears, eyes, nose, mouth, teeth, tongue, chin, cheeks, arms, hands, legs, knees, feet, toes. She counts to 3. She says about 20-30 words including: mummy, dadda, nanna, narnar, Vievey, sister, Benny, up, out, no, yes, hat, shoes, more, no more, eyes, ouch, apple, bottle, bye, hello, bath, bubbles... that's all I can think of at the moment. She can say the sounds that 10 or so animals make. She can follow 2 step instructions (when she feels like it) and she is throwing tantrums worthy of a 2yo I think that's about all we went through.
Ali - love all the fb pics of Fiji!! Looks like you guys had an awesome time.
How was DD with everything? We want to go soon and were wondering about how a toddler would find it. We're thinking about going when DD is about 3, DS will be about 20mths then. Do they have baby seats in the cars?
And you have to tell us the engagement story!!!
Shell - how did the MRI go?
Nai - how's the new job? Been meaning to chat to you about HR... Maybe if we have a catch up!
Olive- how fantastic about your little sleeper!! All your hard work has paid off
Lilima - are you and DS all better? Glad you had fun at the snow! Your flood photos were impressive.
Kaz - how's DS going?
Can't really remember anything else sorry... Hi to everyone!
Not much to report here. DD tried to bite someone again yesterday, a solicitor - I was signing a power of attorney for my parents and the lady was trying to stop her banging on the curtains. I really thought we were getting better...
Sorry OP I did find myself laughing at her trying to bite the solicitor! Lucky she didn't sue!
I survived the MRI no one told me how noisy they were it was horrible the noise, I can understand why most kids need to be put out to have one. Get results this arvo.
I wanna hear Alis engagement story too!
We have no Internet, modem stopped working in power outage and virgin don't do broadband anymore so looking for new provider til then gotta try keep up on my iPhone. Much harder to write replies!
yikes!
