Ooohh Becks just saw that Josh will be having his grommets op in a couple of weeks. That seems to have come around quickly. How has he been?

Lol Leish!

How are you getting on? How is Iliana? And Noah?

Things aren't so good here, especially regarding Nan & Pop

Nana is in hospital, has been for two weeks since we had to rush her in there. She has type 2 diabetes and had severe wounds to her foot, gangrene. Has had several ops and was found to have no circulation below the knee in one of her legs, so was told the leg was coming off. But alas they managed to find a vein that they could re-route which they have done, but two toes have been amputated to date (big toe and one next to it) so she will have to go to rehab and learn to walk again (all your balance is on those toes and she was crippled enough and crouched over as it was). Worse part is that she is suffering really bad chest pains and has had a 2 mild heart attacks already (she has long history of heart problems, can't remember what its called but she has something holding her heart together ...a stert or stern? - something like that). things aren't looking good and it's very touch and go. Pop on the other hand is still deteriorating with his Alzheimers and is calling 8 or so times a day asking after Nana (has forgotten she's left him and what the update is on her in hospital). Tough times, we will get through.

I have no idea how long Nana will be in hospital for though, I've been told by several people (including hospital nurse) that with the type 2 diabetes/gangrene once they start chopping it just carries on. So even though she may have her leg now, further down the track it will be amputated. I don't see her ever leaving the hospital

On a brighter note (if there can be one ) my little guy is starting to pick up a couple words ...not sure if I'm too fond of them though! Dumb, bum and man. And he has a real nick for mixing and matching them, called my Dad a 'Dumb Man', Nana is apparently a ''dumb bum nana' and I'm 'dumb mum' when i won't give into his paddy's. Oh boy. He seems to have a lot of one hit wonders too (as in words or phrases he will say once, and then never to be heard again!). Today it was Nana telling him not to touch her China and he replied blatantly 'I KNOW THAT!' and he carried on trying to grab it anyway. Cheeky little so and so.


How is everyone? Hails how is your pregnancy coming along, how many weeks are ya now? Finding out the sex?

Hi everyone!
Wow our babies are two or nearly two.
Charlotte is talking in small sentances now and is verrry bossy. Cute, tho, luckily for her. She is still tiny, wouldn't be 9kgs yet, and only about 78 cms? Just going into size ones anyhow. A real wee pocket rocket.

Must have been nice to visit family Becks. Your doing awesomely on your smoke free-ness. Sounds like Josh is getting really ready for toileting. Go Josh!

Charlotte sounds so cute and such a petite little lady. Iliana is already over 8kgs so I can imagine how petite Charlotte must be.   Can't quite believe these babies are almost 2.

Good on you for cutting down then Becks. Baby steps. You'll get there.

Noah is off to DC today. Its really quiet here now.

Wow - its been so quiet in here I hardly ever check the '07 threads at all anymore and then all of a sudden Bam - we're all here! lol!

Steph - big hugs from me bout your Nanna - have been thinking of you ever since I saw your post on FB. My Grandfather had both his legs amputated (and my great-grandmother did too), it is scary to think of them going through all that and sad as well, so I am sending you huge cyber hugs . I hope things start getting better for her soon!

Leish sounds like things are going really well for you and the family! Glad to hear Noah has coped well with a new baby in the house. Elle seems to be quite fussy now with her eating too *sigh* I probably give in to her too easily ATM as well, being slightly more tired than usual when I get home from work.

gosh Charlotte sounds soo little, I hate to think how big Elle is now, she towers above alot of children older than her, must remember to book her in for a 24 month plunket visit sometime soon.

Becks good luck with the grommets, I know of a few people whose children had them put in and notice such a huge difference!

And as far as we go down here, Elle is great, doesn't sit still much and is VERY independant. She won't go in the pram anymore (well hardly ever) and wants to walk everywhere. Started swimming with her lately but not lessons yet, just getting her more confident in the pool. Thinking next summer for lessons. As for me, I am steadily growing a belly, which has kinda just popped out a bit in the last week, feeling ALOT better than I was to start with. It feels alot different this time around, especially with a toddler, I guess you just don't get the time to take things in and you know more of what to expect etc. Have been feeling movements from very early on - maybe 14 weeks - which I kinda didn't believe they were movements til they kept on happening.

God this has been a novel! And I have to take my nice round belly to bed (am such a nanna ATM). Good to hear from everyone!

oooh good luck with the no infection thing! Jake had them on top of each other his first winter, so bloody mean.

Leish you said you were going to post every day!!!

I took Josh for a swim today and he put his ears under and so far all good. They say clean water is good and it was clean water we were in.

His ears are all good, grommets were still in place.

Just getting his 2nd birthday all organised. He is having 3 friends over (and a few extras), but just a little party. I got told the 3 he plays with the most and I work with their fathers at camp at the different schools I work at.

Off to a wedding next Saturday (on his birthday) so hopefully he is well behaved.

Annie, you still at the same address??? I have a card for Charly to send to you.
