I don't know if it makes me a bad mum but I never took Jazz for those check ups at the CMH. She's fine though. She's quite tall, and has long hair so when I was saying her birthday was coming up in the lead up a lot of people thought she was turning 3 and were shocked when I said that she was only turning 2.
We're having a word explosion! Last night the car broke down and we had to stay at the FDC house to wait for a tow truck. I told her that we had to stay because the car was broken - she then said "car broken. Fix car mummy" Growing up so fast now!
Thinking of you all, especially those who are pregnant. I remember how tired I was at the start of my pregnancy and I'm not sure how you're doing that along with having an active toddler.
Back to the doctor next week for another check up on my thyroid and probably more blood tests. I think I"ll be having blood tests every 4 or so weeks until my specialist appointment on 7 May. I can now physically feel that my thyroid has become enlarged - it's becoming noticible to just look at me. Hoping I can get into see the specialist sooner. Must remember to ring and just check if there's been any cancellations.
New job is going ok but I really miss my old job. I've spent some time training my temporary replacement in my old job. She doesn't want to do it ongoing so the position has been advertised for a 12 month contract (as it was only a contract position anyway).
I think I'll enjoy my new job as I learn more, but the major part of it is making sense now which is great.
Bron, i have been thinking of you in particular, how are you doing, you must be so exhausted
MJ's appointment went well, She is tall, round 75th% but skinny 25th% - but i dont think there are any issues really as DH is the same ... You are right Prama it is just weight and height, not all babies/children are going to be the same as they are all different when they grow up any way
they described her language as 'exceptional' but i already knew that she had a really good hold of her words... She has been talking in sentences for months now and has a really good understanding of the words and what they mean... i have noticed that she is using a lot of words like, in front, behind, mine and yours (mostly mine ) and joining words like the, and, or which is noce.
Only problem is that like most kids she cant do her S, F, C's properly and with the number of words i sometimes have to get her to slow down and repeat as i am not sure what she is asking for... this morning i frustrated her as she was asking for juice but i thought she was talking about shoes (we were out and she had new shoes and a juice, hence the confusion!)
Not sure if you rememebr but there was always a concern with MJ's hips, more from me than anyone else. she didnt have a click, but her skin folds were wrong/uneven. Anyway, i notcied that when she is wearing shoes in particular (and she only wears good shoes for most of her outside walking and bare feet inside) that she turns one of her feet in. Anyway I asked about it at the appointment and they agree, her hips rotate in (i was right) anyway, i have a number to call a podiatrist, see what he has to say, then possiblt other referals, i am inclinde to think that it may need physio or osteo to fix, but we will see what he has to say
I forget how long MJ's hair is as she has lovely curls, so her hair appears short, but when it is wet i cant believe the lenght!
Re swimming - i am with you Prama, as long as they are enjoying it. MJ goes swimming with Mum every Thursday and she LOVES it! Mum taught us to swim so hopefully she has given her all the basics... I take her occasionally as well (but that means 2 tims a week for her) so we dont do it often.
I am exhausted, just cant seem to stay on top of things at home... doesnt help that DH is hardly home so i am practically a single Mum! He has taken this weekend off and we will work around the house tomorrow and then do something nice Sunday... will be good to see him!
sj - great to hear she's doing so well in her vocab. lakshman is getting there, but as they say boys tend to do it later. he gets his message across so it's fine. the other day he came into the kitchen and pointed to the fridge and kept saying 'toes, toes' i didnt understand so I picked him up and opened the fridge and he said 'toes, toes'. I took the bread out and asked do you want some bread. and he goes 'yesh, toes' LOL he wanted toast!
i remember you saying about her hips, sorry didnt follow up and ask more. i hope they can fix it. maybe a physio can help with her hips first before the podiatrist.
i have tilted pelvic, and that has given me flat feet and i use orthodics.
the cause of my problem is my hips and that has caused so many cascading problems, knees, feet etc. i really hope they can fix her hips first so she doesnt have a domino effect. she's young so her bones will easily adapt. i wish mine was picked up earlier.
sorry dh is working late so much. is he going to change jobs soon. i remember you mentioning something abt it.
this morning, lakshman was just too funny at day care.
he normally the first kid when i drop him off and he's fine and we cuddle and say good bye. on fridays his "girlfriend" well, best friend, zara comes the same time.
so when i was going to leave his morning, he as usual 'pretending' that he didnt want go to his carer. he always does, but just wants me to cuddle him a few more times.
anyway, zara and her mum walk in as we are near the door, and they say hi to each other.
im chatting to zara's mum and lakshman says to me 'bye' i say ok, im going soon. and then he proceeds to push to the door and open it wider and say 'amma, go' it was so funny. he kept trying to push me out the door.
it was almost like his girlfriend's there and he wants his mother to leave. and meanwhile all this is going on, zara sneaks into the kitchen and starts raiding the cupboard. zara's mum says, lakshman's just a decoy, zara just wanted to raid the cupboards.
gosh, these kids are such good entertainment!!!
Sorry for missing the birthdays so slack of me but happy late birthday Prama and Will
Summer sometimes has a day sleep it is a real catch 22 at the moment tho cos if she sleeps it's usually after lunch then she stays up late at night which isn't good it's been hard since she was moved into a big bed she is bit harder to get to sleep when she was in the cot she would go lay quietly and self settle herself to sleep those days are gone
I haven't taken her to the ECN for ages either might take her soon tho, I'm not concerned about anything so haven't bothered.
As you all know I had an incident with Dave and it wasn't pretty so I have been hiding away for all my bruises and injuries to go got my very first black eye and plan on it being the last...
So now feeling much better thank goodness for my Mum she came to my rescue again and now am feeling much better within myself.
I was reading the paper and found a job in there for laser so thought i would have a snoop and call adn they were keen to see me for an interview asap anyway had the worst possible job interview (had to take summer and paige) Summer screamed and was having a tanty the whole time and it was rather embarassing but even through all that I got the job and they said i can work whatever days/times i want WOO HOO!!! Even childcare has fallen into place so it was meant to be.
SJ Molly Jane is soooo cute love the make-up pics
How are the two lovely preggo Mummies going? Hope you are all doing ok
