**Our little doll Velvet is 2 months old**


Can't believe 2 whole months have gone already!!!! Where does the time go....


I had my 6 week check up and it all went well, I just need to go back and see haematologist in Melbourne and see what needs to be done about blood disorder. I have finished my daily injections......thank god!!! but I am still taking aspirin daily.

Chloe, Georgia and Jasper are all well, busy with school, kinder and after school activities. They are still fighting over Velvet about who's turn it is to hold her and who will help bath and change her..........she is very very loved.

Chloe is getting excited out her camp to Swan Hill which is coming up in a few weeks, they are away for 3 days and 2 nights, long enough at her age!!!

Georgia is having a sleep over at school, it is something they do every year. They sleep in their class room in sleeping bags, then next year they sleep in the class room in tents!!! She can't wait for that.
Jappy is getting ready for Dad's night at kinder, the theme this year is Dinosaurs!!!!

The kids are going to start doing swimming lessons again in Bendigo soon, they just have to do another assessment and find out that time they can fit us in, they girls are looking forward to starting again but Jap is scared and does not want to go!! hopefully he will be fine after the assessment.

The girls have school sports are come up at the end of the month.

Chloe has another orthodontist appointment tomorrow, hopefully she gets a good report, she has only been wearing her plate every second night not sure how long she will have to continue to do that. The difference that the plate has made to her teeth and jaw is incredible, not sure if she will still need braces in the future or not.

Velvet has been to the chiro twice to help with her reflux, I think it has help a lot. The lady who we see is just fantastic, so lovely. The time we have spent with her has been much more informative than any time I have ever spent with our maternal child health nurse!!! Velvet weighed 8lb 5oz last Wednesday. At night she is having her last feed at 10pm and sleeping until 6am!!! Saturday night she slept from 10pm till 7.30am!!!! I can't believe it, none of the others EVER slept like that.


Lots more going on but I just don't have time to type it in, so I will just add a few photos.


I still have one spot left in my pay it forward challenge if anyone is interested.








LOL Just had to add this photo...........the look on Georgia face is a classic, it just says STOP taking photos mum and take her................LOLI also have a photo of a "silly girl" I made via a link on Melissa Goodsells blog, I will try and up load it later today.

EDIT: here is "Silly Girl" it pretty rough but the girls think she is cool and both want one of there own............


That's all for now,


Take care and chat soon
