The Real World…

• Kaia had his latest physio follow up. Physically he is developing right on par & doing everything he should be doing, but she thinks it’s time we saw a Neurocranial-something-or-other for his flat head! It is pretty common with prem babes, because of all the important early developmental time lying flat on their back. Apparently flat-head normally corrects itself over the ages of 0-3 once they start spending less time on their backs, but sometimes (in our case) it does need a little help. Although we have followed all the physio’s guidelines to try to correct it, it just seems to be getting more prominent! The next step is for the little guy to wear a foam helmet 24/7 for a couple of months. Man he would HATE that! I am waiting to hear back about our appointment, so more to come on that…
   
  
  *An aerial view of his noggin’! The physio’s concern is that it is pushing the right side of his forehead forward & out of proportion.
  
   

• We visited Candice, Rich, & Charley & their teeny new family member Toby. They are all doing brilliantly, & Toby is a gorgeous little mite!  We have hardly had the chance to see these guys (who are 2 of my closest friends!) over the past couple of years really. It was really good to catch up, & I definitely need to make an effort to see them more often!
   
  
  Cute little Toby.
   
  
  1 pretty mama!
   
  
  Kaia was fascinated by Charley!
   

• I got to have a mummy day with Jessy! The poor girl had been up all night with little Liberty (who is only 5 weeks old!) but insisted that she wanted some adult company (I hear ya sistah)! Liberty was awake for all of 5 minutes when I got there & then the little angel slept the entire time! Kaia was being a little grumpy bum, but let up long enough for us to spend some QT catching up & throwing down some amazing cakes & biscuits I grabbed on the way! It was nice to be able to just ‘hang’ with someone who understands that it’s sometimes too much effort to get out & about & I ‘like’ just being able to sit & feed/ change/ entertain babies together. Can’t wait til Liberty is older & we can just do ‘mum’ things while the kids sit & play together! Jessy is one of those ‘supermums’ who’s got it all together, out & about on walks in the first couple of days after Liberty was born, & they’ve headed off to Forster this weekend for a little holiday! We are yet to venture away from our house for longer than a day out! Way to go guys!
   
  
  *I missed out on grabbing some pics before Liberty headed off for a ‘na-nighs’! I’ve poached this one from Jess’s Blog.
   

• Oh, & our other little premmie friends who were back in hospital are now back at home & going great guns!
   

• Tomorrow we are off to the hospital for Kaia’s *1 year* checkup with his pediatrician! Sadly it is our last appointment with her as she is so prized in the Neonatal world she can’t fit in time for the bubbas who are now big & healthy! So we are being referred on. She has been the most brilliant & lovely Doctor, & we are just so grateful to her for everything she has done over this past year! *sniff*
