January 2013 - Baby/Mommy Club!

So you know my pain hahaha!

We have ordered her a big bed so hoping it will help the transition out of our bed!

Her health has improved tremendously. Her white blood cells count is still low, but within normal range - for which we are so so very thankful!

The physical development gap has subsided too... she is almost on par with her peers... which Doc said would happen and be almost gone by age 2.

We have now picked up on a language development problem... she doesnt communicate as an almost 2 year old should. We start speech therapy sessions in October in the hopes that it will only take this one 12week session to bring her on par with her peers... we unfortunately dont know what the long-term implications are... if she will forever be the slower developer...

She is however our little miracle baby (she mos almost died at 6 weeks of age) and we are forever grateful for everyday of her life!

AWWWW Sma - they too look very alike hey! So cute man!

Hubby too is very hands on... the only thing he cant do is breatfeed hehehe! And we have an awesome nanny... but the financial implications of it all hold us back... We just dont know what other developmental problems that illness caused and what other therapy she may need in the future... and we want to be able to give it her. Private schooling is ridiculous in Gauteng...

On the plus side - we off to Cape Town tomorrow for a short holiday! YAY!!! Cant wait - Morgan's first flight... hope she handles it ok.

Awww...cute! Is she a bit on the tall side Sma? Or am I seeing things?

Wow!! It's amazing how much alike they look....

Jody strictly sleeps in his cot....since birth that is. There were a few occasions when he did sleep with us but for its a case of just putting him in with his dummy, switch off the light and leave the room. I could never do that with the other two...they were in my bed forever. lol.

I think the difference in age (6years between the middle one and Jody) helps a lot. The bigger ones are at the age where they can do almost everything for themselves and then I have hubby who helps a lot too. Jody is crazy about him so he hardly wants my attention when Daddy is around.

How is Morgan doing?

Hi ladies
Kids grow way too fast!!! Pic update time

Hi Juywayraj!!

Nice to hear from you again! Was wondering what has happened to everyone!

I am so srry to hear about you MIL - my deepest sympathies!

AWWWW Your little ones are adorable!! How is it with 3 kids? Seriously contemplating another one... but with Morgan's health and development costing a fortune i am not sure anymore...

Morgan too is such a sweetie pie... very affectionate and loves cuddles... doesnt like raised voices at all... and just wants to sleep in mommy's arms - yes, she is still in our bed. Doesnt want a cot at all... but loving this time while they are so young, all the cuddles and hugs that she likes to give!

Attached s a recent pic of them after a day in the water - hence the curly sue's
