MD: ohhh my Oma was an aerobics queen and had those round tramps around the house when i was growing up! i used to blare kylie minogue on the stereo and jump along to the music
Ginger: hmmm i definitely think that Leila would also fall under the hyperactive banner (at least according to some of the mums in my group lol!). but i know her so well that i can tell that when she is with her mates and doing really physical activities she just gives it her all. i am sure that L is also fine and is also able to 'chill out' and play etc quietly. it's just places and activities like that really can bring out the more adventurous kid ITMS.
Sherie: i too am sorry to hear that your step-father is having to deal with so much petty drama at such an important stage of his life . hopefully it can all be put behind him soon and he can just get on with enjoying what he can for as long as he can IYKWIM.
Arte: mwah, that is soo cute that they were playing so well together when you got back. i actually take how they are when you come back (as opposed to when you leave) as indicators of how well they are doing itms...so to me it is great news that he has found a buddy!
AFM: all pretty awesome here! went and got see bubba for the NT scan today!!! soooo exciting!!! mwah, those first glimpses are so precious!
So there is only one bubba? I guess then that this one is going to follow in their hyperactive big sisters footsteps then going by your other thread ROFL. Great to hear that it went well for you. Did you get some clear happy snaps to take with you?
soooo true Sherie! i am sure this is another pocket rocket baby...gotta love it
and yip, definitely one...made her triple check lol. got some lovely snaps! they gave us about 6!! last time i got a whole 2....and the clarity is much better than last time too...
thanks for all your reassurances guys. spoke to my dad and bf about it today and they were both really angry and said it is total bs and not to go back....so looks like i've wasted $150 but oh well!
clare- are you gonna find out the bub's sex?
md- ooohhhhh that tramp session sounds fantastic. are you allowed to go for massages? that might help things along too and be enjoyable
i've gotta go as i'm cooking dinner. bbl xoxoxo wish me luck with hair-cuts for boys tomorrow!
Ginger, no way - ask for a refund!! If they won't do that then ask if they will at least do a credit if you want to go back when L is older (or for J).
I look after the boy next door sometimes (apparently 2 year old boys and ballet classes don't mix!!). He is waaay different to W though - he is very social but very little verbal skills (has around 30 words that are mostly the vowel sound). So they don't really communicate much but I think it challenges W to understand L by body language so that works out quite nicely.
Hi girls Arte – sounds great re the babysitting and playdates. Are you planning to do them regularly? Clare – woo hoo on the scan – so exciting! Do you feel like this preg is going fast? Ginger – def leave gymbaroo – no use going if it isn’t a positive experience for you and L. sounds like he would enjoy something less structured perhaps? It’s a shame to lose the money (though maybe she will give you credit – is term nearly done?) but so not worth spending the money just for the sake of it if it makes you doubt yourself. I am typing this offline and I forgot what else was there… sorry! So hi to everyone else!
My gfather is really really sick… I think he has a few weeks max left… I am really sad about this as you can imagine. At the same time basically he isn’t himself anymore so I want himout of pain/misery and also it is so tough for my mum too. So I am bracing for all the emotion to come. On the upside my new nephew (Levi) is divine and SIL is doing well too!
Mp, I'm so sorry to hear that he may not have much time left I'm sure that your Mum has a strong support network to help her and all of you through this
hey - yep he lives in melbourne (in a home) - has severe altzheimers now...
got v upset looking at a pic of him with N as a bub (so about 2 yrs ago) - he was still looking after himself at home then...
he hasnt even met J...
Oh I am sorry. DH lost his Nonna a few years ago to alzheimer related stuff. it is hard, cause like you said, they arent really themselves anymore, but the love, graditude and memories that you have of them will always be strong. I guess in a way the timing of your move down here is good, you can be closer and share these last few weeks with your family close by
Hey what's happening in here, we've totally slid off the front page??!
MP - sorry to hear about your grandfather, such a difficult time for the whole family. BTW I love the name Levi, he sounds gorgeous. I wouldn't worry too much about N monopolising the grands, J will get his own back when he's a little bigger.
Ginger I'm booked in for a massage with the lady I was seeing when I was doing chemo. She's fantastic & I trust her...was supposed to have one a week ago but they had to cancel so I'm really hanging out for it now!
Cass - Yay for seeing bubba! Precious times. I like your comments about "hyperactivity"...in a different context it would just be called feistiness. I'm pretty sure she will be a good match for Missy E when we see ya ( can ya tell I'm excited?? )
Had a pretty full on weekend, Missy E has been having phantom tummy pains, crying and lying around day and carrying on most of the night. No temp but a lot of distress, off her food, etc. Saw dr on Thurs then Sat (Sat Dr was hopeless, very dismissive of concerns) but it was a long weekend here so I'll take her back tomorrow when I've got half a hope of getting further tests etc organised. Only thing keeping it in abeyance at the moment is nurofen. Which apparently is bad because its antiinflammatory effect can mask the problem.
MD I hope it isn't anything serious and she is right as rain tomorrow.
I have just been flat out here and trying to get a million things done at once LOL. We went and saw J in hospital today and Mum hadn't got there yet and he told us (DH and I) that he wants to marry mum! They have been together for 22 years - twice as long as what Mum and Dad were together for so I reckon she should go for it, but I'm not sure that she will. It is pretty complicated I suppose. So he wants me to buy the ring and everything, he is the sort of person that doesn't go into shops - never has been LOL so he said he would trust me to do it. And DH and I are the only ones that are to know because he doesn't want his family to know and this is going to be his big surprise when he dies ROFL, like a big Up Yours to them. Not that Mum doesn't get along with them because she does but again its complicated LOL. Even though I have never regarded him as my step father, we have a mutual respect for each other and I'm really pleased that he has thought of doing this. And the bonus prize is that his oncologist has gotten permission from the Govt to use this form of Chemo and has been able to reduce the cost from $3500 per dose to only $1000. Which is great news when you need 3 months worth of it.
