Georgi - I've just done the same thing, read it all with great interest then realised I hadn't posted either! I'm impressed with the TT'ing for BJ, wow! And turning 2, oooh what a big spunky boy he is! As for big bed, well we moved X very abruptly a few weeks ago - as I couldn't lift him in & out of the cot (bad hips/pelvis). Currently he's on 2 mattresses on the floor and will move into the bed proper next month... and tbh it's surprised us, he's actually sleeping BETTER! He was forever bumping into the cot sides, and he seems to really prefer the bigger bed and travels all round it! We have to go in & move him down (he always travels "up"), he doesn't wake, just curls up like a snail (bum up, head down) it's so cute. Hows your PG going? How are you feeling now?
Zarava - we still have to find a date for a melb catch-up, Z & A sound like absolute characters! Poor A losing the sofa fight lol. That's so funny about the swearing. X has been very slow to talk and I used to joke and say "Xander, can you say f**k?"... DH would crack up and tell me what a bad mummy I was. And X would just stare at me and giggle! But he is finally starting to talk a bit more, so I can't do that anymore!
Moi - I hope you're feeling better. I'm sending you the bestest vibes for finding a fab new job... plus it'll be great when you guys move into your house too. Poor M has had such a bad run, I hope you can get a good few weeks/months! I think we've been a bit lucky with less bugs maybe cos X is at FDC?
Teru - how are you feeling? your little fellow sounds like such a livewire! I hope it's all going well.
AFM well I've just started on insulin again (GD again) and still just trying to manage the pelvic instability as best I can. My mum ended up staying 3 weeks, she was fantastic. We've done a heap of things to minimise lifting X, and if I'm really limited in what I do (no running errands/shopping/going to playground) then I can manage... but geez I miss all the stuff I used to do! I haven't had to use the cruches yet and I'm hopeful I'll make it through without. DH has been fantastic help, but given his own history of a bad back, we're both being very careful! Think I'll greatly appreciate mobility when I get it back though - soooo much I took for granted in the past!!!! We've been organising lots of playdates to make sure X and I aren't climbing the walls, I really hate not being about to go out & about. We've just bought X an early b'day pressie - swing/slide set from Target so that I can run him around in the backyard given we can't get to the playground. Can't wait to get it set up for him!
And on his talking, X has a fave "comfort" toy which is a lion and we've always just called it "lion", but for goodness knows what reason, X has decided it's called "Kai" (or maybe that should be kye?) - we're both mystified but it's very cute, and handy that he can now ask for it!
