Dream: Sorry they changed things again! Hopefully this is the last time.

Hey ladies I haven't been on here in forever. I totally apologize. I've read back through a lot of pages!! Things are sure flying for some of you!! Amazing!! We have been soooo busy this way with appointments for our girls, and my oldest son has problems as well we are working with that is taking a lot of my time, plus me being in school as well. We just went to the special needs doctor finally yesterday (we waited nearly 3 months for this appt). But anyways we found out that Haley is kind of catching up but still a year behind or so. She will never "fully" get caught up because of her learning disabilities but I'm happy she's doing better than we originally thought. Myra on the other hand has characteristics of something else...they tested her 15th chromosome and it so far is normal. We have a new referral to go out of state to a Geneticist. I hope we get more answers soon.....thats about all we've been doing to stay busy but its a full time job for sure. They think Myra may have Prader-Willi Syndrome...but of course its going to need a lot more testing because it didn't show on the first test but he said there is a more in depth one we can do and that is why we got the new referral. I hope everyone has a blessed weekend....I miss you ladies terribly just I've been so awfully busy

I am so glad that you are starting to get answers. I hope the genetasist is able to help even more. Thank you for the update. It is totally understandable that you are busy being a mom.

OMG - heard from social worker today - linked with a little girl who is 9 months old! Early days, of course, and there is one thing that I need more information on but I am beyond happy right now. Hopefully, if everything goes well and everyone wants to progress then she will come home around February time.

So so happy

Oh my goodness rainy that is the most AMAZING news!! So very happy for you hunny! Another little princess, hooray

Andrea, thank you for thinking of us all, we think of you too. You are such a wonderful mum and I know that Hayleys progress is down to all the time you have invested with her. I also know you'll do what it takes to help Myra. I hope you get your answers and support soon

Karen your profile is gorgeous!

Love and hugs to everyone xxx

That is awesome Rainy! Oh I hope this works out for you! How wonderful!

 

[dreamofabean]

Oh my rainy!! How very exciting!!!

 

[Rainy123]

Thanks everyone. I am very excited but trying to calm down now and think with my head about whether this is the right match. (But I really think it might be!)

 

[aimze]

Amazing news rainy!

 

[drudai]

So happy for you Rainy. Positive thoughts your way!

A week full of excitement for me...first I hear from SW about a link. Then, my sister has her 12 week scan and then today my brother's wife has a gorgeous baby boy (after a long ivf journey).
A great week for the rainy family

 

[Lolly1985]

Rainy what a lovely week you are having. What are your next steps regarding your link

Hope everyone else is doing well?

What a crazy few weeks we have had. It was two months ago today I finished work, where has the time gone?! We are less than 3 weeks away from being able to submit our paperwork to the court to legally adopt our little pink. Because of busy social workers and waiting for the court we don't expect the celebration hearing until March time, but lovely we are nearly at the first stage of the application

My parents have been up the past week. They love her so much and it was a real wrench for them to leave today. Not long until Christmas I suppose...

We have had our first swimming trip and we all loved it! We want to make it a weekly thing for all of us. The other half has a brilliant opportunity to finally go self employed (something he's always wanted) so it looks like he will be in the new year. It just means he can manage his diary better and have more little pink time going forward. If he does well (everything crossed!)

Yesterday she went to her first birthday party, her cousin was 9! She met some new family and generally had a lovely time, although got a little overwhelmed at one point so had to take her out for some quiet time

My wisdom tooth infection is back so am on antibiotics, and today have contracted a sickness bug. Luckily daddy has been brilliant, looking after both of us. It's times like this I truly appreciate him, even though he gave her cheese and onion rice cakes after she refused his sloppy porridge, put a long sleeve vest on with a short sleeved tshirt and complained very loudly and repeatedly about the 'horrendous' nappy he had to change... Ummm, welcome to my world

Love to you all

Hi everyone and congrats rainy hope it all goes well. Just caught up on what's happening. I got my phone returned to me by a nice old man who found it so was very happy. My lo is coming along so well and learning new things all the time I'm so proud of her. Hope everyone is ok

 

[Lolly1985]

Brilliant Loski, so glad you got your phone back. That hardly ever happens! There really are kind people around xxx

 

[Rainy123]

Tomorrow morning, social workers are descending on my house. Nervous and excited. Keep your fingers crossed for me.

Lolly -you have been busy. Love hearing your news

 

[Lolly1985]

Everything crossed Rainy!! Just be yourself. They already like you from your PAR, this is just about bringing you to life. Thinking of you xxx

 

[dreamofabean]
