'G hates being sick mummy'
It wouldn't have been right for another month to go by without G being unwell. What started as a crazy high temperature (as it tends to), escalated into a nasty cough, and then yep you guessed it....sickness. Nine times out of ten her sickness is always temperature and cough related, but yesterday seemed more than just a cough. That said, today she is cooking, tending to her babies, playing on the iPad, and immersing herself in to her favourite game - Doctor surgery (ironic for a kid who HATES doctors!).
'Little G is here!'
G has taken to referring to herself in the third person...it's hilarious! Comments such as 'this little one is awake now' and 'G would like eggs for breakfast' and 'little babe would like a hug' keep us giggling. Goodness knows where she has got this from.
'Will I stop growing soon? What happens when I do?'
I told you she takes it all in. The gentle drip feeding that has occurred over the past few months have culminated in the above question being asked by G... Growth hormones...
So we had 'the chat' - the one where we discuss the magic growing pen, and how the magic growing juice will get in to her body, and how often it will happen. We discussed some friends of ours and how they have magic growing juice. But then she ended the conversation abruptly with 'but I am still growing mummy so I won't need it'. Little by little we will get there.
'What happens if I fall over at big school? Or I miss you?'
G is a little worrier. Sadly she has me to thank for that. But I didn't expect the big school worries to creep in so soon, especially given that we have a good 7 months before she starts Infant School. Once in a while she comes out with a question that quite clearly has plagued her for some time. At the moment it's mainly worries about the fact that I will not be at big school to take care of her, nor will her favourite teddy be. She is also anxious about who will drop her and collect her from school, though thankfully the addition of a new born will mean that mummy will be on hand for school run duties.
In other news:
-G has her appointment with joint endocrine consultants next week to start the process of growth hormone injections.
-Mummy has a couple of scans next week on babe number 2.
- G has been really thoughtful recently - her prayers for her Auntie's new baby boy, and for mummy's tummy to stop hurting, melt my heart. She is so caring and considerate.
- G has a brand new baby cousin and she is over the moon! Congratulations Guys, we can't wait to meet him!
-G is off for her first ever hair cut soon. I know - BIG NEWS. She hates anything to do with her hair, not to mention the sound of hair dryers....we might only make it through the door! Watch this space.
-Grace's sleep problems, coupled with babe number two's desire to stop me from sleeping, have left me feeling like I haven't slept in FOREVER. Nearly four years is more accurate, but my sleep deprivation has escalated to a whole new level. Should you find me anywhere in a zombie like state- feed me tea, chocolate, and send me home. Make that decaf tea. DARN DECAF!
-We have amazing friends and family, those near and those far. Thanks guys xx
SO, that's us updated yet again! More news following the joint endocrine appointment.
P.S It seems that my poorly daughter has decided to look more like a girl today on her sick day, than she has in the past 18 months. 'A pretty cardigan please today mummy'. What?!
