Fraggles- that's cute that he rats himself out 
Emma does that with her "uh oh" too 
Mumof4- Congrats on getting the finance stuff sorted and GL on the interview and scan
Kte- I think it must have been cheeky imp day yesterday then, lol- Emma ran away from me at the park and I nearly had a panic attack wondering where the hell she'd gone. The geography of the park doesn't help a panicked parent either- it's got paths leading in 6 different directions to each of the surrounding side streets
Luckily she was only a few hundred meters away and wearing a shocking lime green t-shirt but damn that kid is fast! Hope your commute goes better today, lol
Not much new today- Emma's in a bit of a mood again. One of the little friends is always giving her these attack hugs and they just set her right off
Still no canines yet- still just below the surface, causing grief 
Anyway, I should get to the emails I've been procrastinating about doing 
Hope everyone is having a good day!

Aww that sucks mumof4. Hope they manage to sort it out.
I think the bumpkins are all getting very bloomin cheeky lol. James is such a little monkey. He is currently covering himself with a cushion and then screeching really loudly lol. He says uh-oh if he drops something, and the answer to every question atm is a very firm shake of the head lol.

Emma slept through the night 
Okay, so I realize it's no biggie to most of you, but this a super rare event in our house- like I think she's just done it just once between now and about 4 months old Of course, I was awake at 4 am for hubby's alarm wondering when she was going to wake up
So what are everyone's weekend plans? Pissing rain here so I'm not too sure if we'll go to the lake or not
Hope everyone is having a good day!
to those that need them

Hurray for Emma sleeping in! I am off to my sisters this aft, counting the hours! So won't be on again until Monday. Can't believe I have started with the sniffles! Never mind, got an arsenal of things to entertain Chloe on the train and she was impressed with her ready bed, she was just sat on it last night when I was checking it out, beaming away with her dolly. She wanted to sleep on it but was too excited so tonight is going to be interesting!
Hope everyone has a lovely weekend and bank hol
Yay for Emma!!
Not much going on here. Have a Birthday party on Saturday and on Sunday the DH has a car race to go to, so will be a girls day.
Oh we decided on a name for beany "Isabel Grace" Isabel means "Gods Promise" .. fitting I think seeing all the problems we had the last year trying to get to this point.
We finally saw a pulmonologist for missy (for the 6 month night time cough)
Firstly, sometimes when little kids get a virus (such as croup as she did Nov last year) and it's a bad bout, it can make the body over react to virus' that enter the body from their on out, making them appear 10x worse and it just becomes a vicious cycle. That's why a cold is such a 2 week ordeal for us and she gets overly affected by them.
2nd, it could be something to do with her sinus'. He said young kids only have 2 sinus spaces (adults have 4) could be a chronic sinus infection that drains when she is laying down and causing the cough.
3rd, Could be her adenoids if they are swollen and infected (A symptom is a night time cough, also a symptom is chronic ear infections, which she had)
4th, a low level infection in her lungs, that with antibiotics suppress just enough to stop the cough, then when they are stopped, comes back. That's why the cough goes away when she's on antibiotics and then comes back a week after she finishes them.
5th, could be a bit of reflux. He said both the breathing tube and food tube run along each other and then meet, and when kids lay down the acid can go up and spill over the junction and irritate the breathing tube and the body's reaction to this is to cough.
He said at this stage she's too young for allergy testing, they tend not to test below 3 because it just does not return true results. He said regarding asthma, there's no real 'test' that tells you yes or no it's asthma, its a list of symptoms and such, and again she's really too young at the moment to tell.
He wants to do a couple things, an xray of her sinus to see how they are, which we are getting done today.
He wants to pop a camera down her nose and look at her lungs/pipe/adenoids and take some samples for testing to look for virus/swelling/evidence of reflux and such.
He also wants to do a barium test of her upper GI.
Right now he's taken her off the nebulizer and replaced it with a mask/spacer/inhaler. He said with nebulizers, because of the carrier fluid in it, you only get about 30% of the medication enter your lungs. With the other thing the medication goes directly in to the lungs and therefore works better. He's put her on 'QVAR'.
He's also put her on an oral steroid to bring down the inflammation in her chest, and a steroid nasal spray because he said when he looked up her nose, there is so much swelling that her left side is almost swollen shut. (He said that is consistent with the sinus theory)
She's on them for 2 weeks then we see him on the 9th again.
I'm glad he took her off all the stuff the ped was putting her on because she was starting to feel like a guinea pig. She's on these medications for 2 weeks to get all the swelling down. She's still coughing a bit last night, but its better than it was, but then its only been 2 days, so I suspect it will take a few days to get in to her system and start working properly. Its sent her proper hyper tho lol. She's been bouncing off the walls since she had the oral steroid!
Wow kinda long lol. Thought I'd would update you all tho .. seeing as it's been going on such a long time. I'm glad to feel like we are finally getting somewhere and someone is taking notice of what we're saying. Mostly I'm glad for missy and that she can finally be well.

Aww that is such a cute name Chaos. Glad you are getting little Missy sorted. She will go a bit mental on the steroids lol. One of the side effects. Also you might find she is alot more hungry.
omg I nearly hog tied her today and yesterday. She was just running around the house, jumping up and down off the sofas and telling me NO! to everything lol. I'm hoping once she gets a little more used to them she will cope a bit better. The Nasal Spray and oral steroids are only for 2 weeks, so at least the end is in sight lol. The inhaler is more of a long term maintenance thing.
Freaking nutso kid, didn't need to be any more hyper!!! lol
Its the shrt term high dose steroids that tend to change mood/affect hunger.
J has reflux and he always sounds snuffly/chesty (I was told its a common symptom)
Love baby;s name too Chaos
Kte have a fab weekend
Kaites yay for Emma

Hi ladies!
Hope you all are well?
Chaos - love the name!
I havent yet thought of a name for our baby boy yet! Its so hard at the moment to think of nice name we both like!
Billy has been brilliant at learning sign language and he is doing great. Just learnt "cow" and "boat" in sign language!
He can say no and push me away, when I wanted a kiss from him! He can be cheeky if me and my hubby talking to each other of course in sign language and Billy wants one of us and he can do put his hand on me or daddy's cheek and push it to his face for our attention!
24 weeks tomorrow yay!!! Go me and baby bub!
Have a nice weekend you guys! xxx

today milo turned 19 months. he's had such an eventful day. this morning he said "hi" for the first time (well twice actually). and it's his first word!!
then today he was outside and fell and got his first knee scrape (i know. lol. not a big first. but still a first). and then just a over an hour ago got his first real hair cut (besides one trim about 2 months ago. which was his first trim ever).
my mom bought him a rocking horse

Talking of Hi and Bye ... Missy has started saying them in a Southern accent!! haha, it's kinda cute, she pronouncements it "HAI!!!" "BAI!!!" I've got a little American Southern Belle on my hands
We're up early .. off for her barium test in about 30 minutes. Poor lil cow can't have anything to eat or drink till it's over. It's at 8am (615 now)
