Hi, not sure if you guys would remember me but I wasn't in your December thread, I was due in January 2010 but DD decided to be born early in December - xmas day in fact.

Anyway I'd love to rejoin the thread if that's ok, I'd love to keep chatting about our (not so) bubs again

DD (Emilie) is a happy little 18 month old, she'll turn 19 months old in 5 days. She is talking heaps and she's just started baby boppers which is a little dance class for 1-3 year olds. She loves it!

Hope all your LO's are going well

Rach xoxo

Certainly remember you Rach! I was due in December, but Miss Lexi arrived in November

How fast are these little ones growing up?! Lexi will be 20 months next week and I just can't believe it. She is talking heaps, being extremely cheeky and giving Mummy lots of kisses at the moment

Hello everyone havnt been here forever. Susie got sick last year and in april (easter week) her pead at the time found she has CF (cystic fibrosis. Its been a rollercoaster ride since then the latest being an 8 day hospital stay to get a nasal gastric tube. She is 9.3kg at 21 months.

yes she in on ABs constantly but luckyly she dosnt have lung problems and she is also pacreous sufficiant which is very rare. In saying that she is a rare case allround as she was missed in the heal prick test and her genetic testing cant find the genes

Emilie has been on the bottom bunk (sharing with Madison) since about 18 months old but only in the last month or so has she really been settled in it. We had to put the girls in a room together because we are renovating the house and only have two functional bedrooms, the main bedroom and the girls' bedroom.

She goes to bed after watching the Goodnight song on Giggle and Hoot (it is sort of like a cue for her) and then we have story time for about 15-20 minutes then kisses and say goodnight and shut the door. She now self settles in bed whereas before she would just get out so I had to lie with her until she fell asleep.

Nat how is the TT going?

We did toilet training in November and she did really well. She was in knickers (or ni-ni's as she calls them lol) full time but with the stress of renovations, she had a regression in December and is now back in pullups. She will still do poos only on the potty which is handy but she's decided doing wees in the nappy suits her for now. I just keep saying "one day when you're a big girl you won't need your nappies anymore" and leaving it alone as it causes her too much stress right now with everything going on.

Aligater how is your LO going with the CF?

We are going well have clinic on friday but her dietition is coming to see her once a month instead of it been in a hospital invironment she is now 9.6kg so a small gain witch is good. We are also changing her childcare centre to one that has a chef and has all meals provided in the hopes that if all children are eating the same she will to as that is our main issue.

Oh, Luc, its so hard when they are having sleeping issues! Emilie has only just gotten into a good sleeping routine. Before that it was such a struggle and so draining. You poor thing. I hope you work something out soon

Nat, the pregnancy is going well. I've had a few scares this time around but things seem to have settled down now. Just trying to survive being pg with a 2 yo in the Perth heat! Good to hear the TT is going well. Emilie is the opposite, she will only do number 2s on the petty. Strange child. She hates having poo in her nappy.

Aligater its good to hear Susanah is going well, considering. How did her dietician appt go?

That's good that they are happy. Do they give you some diet plans for her?
