Wet, cold and oh so bored and we need some support up here!
Today it was wet and freezing and the babies and I were stuck inside to slowly go cabin mad. (Like a dog goes chain mad).
I did what any person would do and took out my camera. After the babies demolished the kitchen
followed quickly by the loungeroom, unrolled a new toilet roll and started in on my room, I called it a day and locked them and myself in Noah’s room.
Ivy and Noah did what any self respecting toddler would do on a wet day. They pulled every single toy out and every book was tipped from the bookshelf. I tried to get some good shots but do you know how fast two twenty month old children can move? FAST! Very fast!!!!
The real reason I was trying to get photos was to enter a competition that is being run by Huggies. It’s for Jeans for Genes day. To enter you need to have the cutest baby in jeans photo. After a couple of hours though I came to the conclusion it was impossible!
I thought it could be fun but I also wanted to support this because William had a genetic heart condition (critical aortic valve stenosis) and any research into genetics is therefore important. Wouldn’t it be wonderful if something significant was found before any of my children have children? There will always be a risk for them, I know that.
It was just not to be today.
A lovely teacher from Bellbird P.S. has birthed her baby at 28 weeks. When I found out I wanted to go to her and give her a hug, just be there for her as she goes through this journey. However, I don’t know her that well. It got me thinking though that there is very little support for families who have premature babies up here. I did ask when Ivy and Noah were in the NICU and the response was that there was no interest for a support group for our area. I beg to differ. I could have definately used some help and reassurance.
There is a lady on the Central Coast who is trying to get a group up and running. I am really hoping it gets off the ground! I’ll be one of the first in line to go to a meeting. It’s still an hour away though from the Newcastle and Hunter regions.
How do we get something like that started I wonder?
I will send you the email of another good friend of mine who is involved in NNICUPs -a NICU parent support group. She will know.
Ps- Noah is so adorable .He is in the running for sure - I saw the Huggies competition the other day too before I read your blog & saw how cute Noah is ! I haven’t found any genes for jeans merchandise in the shop yet to put S & J in … so please don’t think I copied you when I take my photos! I agree a very worthy cause *sigh* I hope they find cures to many things for all our childrens sake.

The market now is having a very tough competition when it comes to selling designer bags. There are lots of new brand of bags that offer wide range of trends and latest designs.

Tá ag brath ar dhaoine aonair conas a chaitheamh beagán, agus nach mbeidh caite bhraitheann an caighdeán an céanna, is minic a chaitheamh go héasca briste, ach ní fadhbanna cáilíochta, síleann daoine áirithe go bhfuil sé ar fhadhb na cáilíochta, tá sé deacair a rá conas cáilíochta, is féidir ciall ach amháin féin
