Hi girls, hope our two birthday days are having fun Smile

We are back from the docs and D has yet another ear infection Sad seems to be reoccurring, he said she is suffering quite badly...so to forgive her moods and grumpiness Blush
I knew she wasn't right in herself, she is usually so good, if a little mischievous. One ear has so much wax that he couldn't see behind. I suffered with my ears as a child so he said it could be hereditary Confused
Anyway she has been as good as gold since having her medication and is in bed sleeping soundly...bless her. Dh is away for 3 nights so im hoping she will be much improved on his return.
One thing the doc did mention is the fact one of her feet turns in slightly when she walks, i had noticed and prompted the doctor to see if he had noticed, he said he did last time but it's not an issue and is common so he didnt want to worry me be saying anything. Now im obsessed with watching her legs as she walks.... the worry never ends.

Dolly has been making me giggle today though, she always follows me into the bathroom and watches me wee, today she went and got the toilet roll, pulled a bit off and shoved it between my legs Shock i think she was trying to wipe my bits Grin....and when we change her nappy now we have to give her a wipe because she wipes herself!

Barbie moment for today was in the doctors, i was standing waiting to rebook an appointment and Dolly was wondering off, chatting to a man (she is obsessed by men Hmm) The guy in front was asking for an appointment on a certain day and i was saying 'no, you cant do that, you must be good, (etc etc) The poor guy thought i was talking to him! Grin i tried to explain myself by pointing to D who at that moment disappeared around the counter, making me look silly, like i was talking to myself! Grin

barbie1 · 29/03/2011 17:04

It it neeko's birthday too???

monkeybumsmum · 29/03/2011 17:04

I'd love twins Grin Grin Grin You could all come and help me with them too Grin Oh if only............

Mermaid enjoy your Wine later, glad to hear you're being spoilt...

barbie1 · 29/03/2011 17:04

Birthday girls, not days Blush tis late, i need to sleep...

monkeybumsmum · 29/03/2011 17:07

Grin Barbie, poor man, bet he was v bemused!!! Dolly is such a star - she'll be potty trained in no time when it's time to do it! Bless her wiping herself though, sounds like she doesn't miss a trick!

ps I did love your prediction of twin girls in the monkey household, SO hope it comes true! Wouldn't it be weird if it did Grin

monkeybumsmum · 29/03/2011 17:10

pps on a more serious note, my ds had a bad ear infection when he was little, and that's what apparently caused his glue ear. I wish I'd have known it was a possibility at the time, we probably would've picked it up earlier then. Hope that hasn't scared you though - was v easily put right!!
Hope D feels lots better very soon x

barbie1 · 29/03/2011 17:14

Glue ear??? Oh my, i cant keep up with all the things that you should keep up with as a mum! I go back in 10 days, i ask re glue ear then...he must think oh no, here is Barbie and her pfb Wink

barbie1 · 29/03/2011 17:17

Re wiping herself, we had to give her something because she would put her hands in the poo! Grin Envy

monkeybumsmum · 29/03/2011 17:32

She really is a little star Grin

Re the glue ear, I think that's what it's called anyway - basically he had liquid round his ear drum and it wasn't draining out...

Sleep well xxx

loueytb3 · 29/03/2011 17:53

Quick lurk and post from me to say Happy Birthday to our big girl mermaid and Happy Birthday to our little girl Hannah.

Poor little Dolly - barbie hope she gets better very soon

Am sorry for lack of catch up - work is manic and we've been having a nightmare with Isaac see here so every evening has been taken up with sorting him out and trying not to murder him. Things are starting to improve (touch wood) so with any luck I will be back on for a proper post soon....

VJayJay · 30/03/2011 10:18

barbie Ajay has a perforated ear drum again, hence me not being on here lately, there seems to be something in the water!!! Hope Dolly recovers quickly. We have to go back to the docs in a couple of weeks so they can check it's healed.

Sorry for lack of personals, I've only skim read the thread.

mermaidspurse · 30/03/2011 11:32

oh our poor little ears, so sorry that ajay has another one vjay and poor dolly too.
have just done my morning shred and now eating cakeSmile and trying to get the hang of my new keyboard - preen -

barbie dolly sounds like you will be able to start potty training soon, oh the joy.

poor louey passes cake and Brew

oops gotta go, i'll pop back later, oh moon fab that you enjoyed it a big high 5.x

barbie1 · 30/03/2011 11:48

Hello,
Meh, poor louey and poorajay I hope both of you had a better night then me (every 2 hours), thankfully this morning D has had a mammoth sleep and has been her usual charming self, so we are getting through it.

louey i have no bright ideas (see what i did there Wink,) Sorry im not taking the p*s just trying to raise a Smile from you...i see the sellotape seems to be working, did you try the torch idea? Hope he settles down soon.

vjay my doctor implied that me co-sleeping and feeding her could be one reason for the repeat ear infection, babies who take dummies and frequently food lying down are at more risk too Hmm...or it could just be the nursery where she is more prone to picking things up. I hope ajay is ok now? The antibiotics are kicking it and D is settling down now, much more happy and smiley Smile

Hope everyone is is ok, ill be back tonight x

barbie1 · 30/03/2011 11:50

feed lying down...whoops

Hiya mermaid

VJayJay · 30/03/2011 14:07

barbie for what it's worth, ajay doesn't co-sleep or has a dummy or has food lying down, and he's had a few ear infections now, so your doctor has Confused me! Grin oh and he doesn't go to nursery either. I think it's just one of those things. My doc did say that as his ears mature he should grow out of them, but we may get reffered to ear nose and throat though still. I've got a right pair of -Jays!!! I'm back and to to the docs or hospital all the time at the mo. I'm sure it will settle down soon enough.

mermaid loving you shredding and eating cake Grin. I did Davina yesterday and am now hobbling round.

louey Cjay never did the light switch thing, turning it on and off, but would always go to sleep with the light on. He's got a little lamp now which he has on, I go and turn it off but when I'm up with Ajay I always find it back on again. He finds it reassuring. There is a night light in their room but it's not bright enough for what he needs.

I've head my lump checked out today, the doctor isn't too concerned but did a smear and wants to see me again in three months to check on it. So I'm going to forget about it for now.

mermaidspurse · 31/03/2011 08:08

co-sleeped, no dummy, no ear problems. I reckon it's just one of them things barbie. mind you now i think about it ds never hears me say things like tidy away, hurry up, do your homework.....

vjay good that dr wasn't overly worried. Are the boys adapting to their bedroom? davina hmmm might try here next, am on day 2 of shred today a cole of us are creating our own workout now our gym is broke.

right off to fight the rainSmile

mermaidspurse · 31/03/2011 08:09

stupid keyboard

VJayJay · 31/03/2011 10:40

Hi mermaid yes the boys have adapted to room sharing now Smile, patience, that's all it took Smile
Dh and Cjay both have selective hearing too, I reckon Ajay will inherit it aswell Hmm

It's raining something awful up here today too. I put the raincover on the buggy but Ajay insisted on having his wellies poking out, so he ended up with wet trousers, and is now running round the house with his chubby legs out, I'm off to squidge them right now Grin

mermaidspurse · 31/03/2011 10:55

chubby legs and wellies Smile such a lovely age made me think of blues b too.
am shredded and finally finished cakeGrin

how are our blooming bq and qa check in please ladies.

cupcakefairy · 31/03/2011 17:09

Haha vjay (I typed that as bjay first Blush) love the image of Ajay wanting his wellies poking out - aren't boys great!!

Off out for a meal tonight with nct mummies, I'm really looking forward to it :) hope all are well...how is Dolly barbie?

OP posts:
VJayJay · 31/03/2011 20:21

Ha ha cupcake, Ajay nearly was a Bjay, we were going to call him Benjamin (great minds and all that blue Wink), but I really wanted him to have the same middle name as Cjay, so Ajay is was Smile
Enjoy your night.

barbie hows Dolly been today?

moon forgot to say glad you had a fabulous fronktastic wedding Grin, now back in that sand!

barbie1 · 01/04/2011 17:00

Weekend ladies Smile

Hoping Dh gets home tomorrow, it has been a long couple of night without him here.

Thanks for asking about D, poor love has thrush now due to the antibiotics, she really isnt easy to settle for naps or bed but im not complaining as we have had some lovely snuggles and even co-slept last night (gave up after the 6th waking and bought her into bed) She is her happy, gorgeous self when occupied and playing though...
It took ages to get her through the bed routine this evening, anti b's, calpol, teething powder, and gel, thrush cream....

Tomorrow i should be throwing a 2nd birthday for my lost lo Sad, instead i will hold Dolly extra tight and cover her in kisses. Im so thankful she has given me the chance to smile. I really do hope we can all have a happy ending and find peace within ourselves... I've said it before and ill say it again, i really aint going anywhere until the end, until each and everyone of us has a Smile on our faces (and even then i will still be a devoted mn'er!)

cupcake giggling at you thinking of bjay what on earth were you doing before posting Wink Hope you have a nice night out, its very much deserved.

chubby legs and wellies (checks to make sure i haven't written willies!)...very cute im sure. No such luck here, skinny legs and no rain! Grin

Hope everyone is ok, anyone get april fooled?

Love to you all, speak soon xxx

VJayJay · 01/04/2011 18:59

Wow barbie that is some bedtime routine Shock

Ladies it is World Autism Awareness day tomorrow. Just be aware!!! Smile

bluesatinsash · 01/04/2011 20:25

Will be mindful tomorrow Vjayjay and louey too.

Just can't seem to find time just now, falling behind with posts and personals, sorry for missing everyone's news... I'm also on ear ache watch, B has recovered from his but still has v. waxy ears so keeping an eye..

mermaid - had to Smile at your chubby legs comment too. We're sans wellies at the mo as my chunky 15 month old is still not walking. He can bum shuffle forever in my book Smile.

Barbie - I though your EDD was the same as mine - 6th April? It's such a ying and yang week for me every year now, wedding anniversary/conceiving B anniversary but also remembering what might have been anniversary too

monkey - I can so see you with twins Smile.

Right, have a good weekend all. DH and me are having a lovely meal out in St Andrews tomorrow night. Its making me Confused and Grin and Blush as i'm ovulating (not doing OPK's can just tell in an old school type way..) He also cancelled his snip procedure BUT there is no way we're having another baby, just like to play devil with myself now and again Wink.

ta ra x

VJayJay · 02/04/2011 11:13

Have a lovely weekend blue Smile, I will be keeping an eye on you in 2 weeks time WinkGrin
