Grandad Pat.....

Well thought I had better post about Grandad Pat who was very selfless and decided to make room in the family for our little princess.



Grandad Pat was a very brave, proud man who had a heart transplant in 1988 at Harefield Hospital this was because he had Cardiomyopathy (i hope this link works for anyone wanting to know what that is) he lived for another 18years or so after his transplant. His health deterotiated due to him also having Emphysema for which Harefield said they should have given him a heart and lung transplant but that was 'should of, could have' and wouldn't help him now.



Grandad Pat became wheelchair bound and then housebound bound and didn't have a very good quality of life towards the end with him having to be on oxygen 24hrs a day needless too say he became very withdrawn from life but one thing that he always showed interest in was his youngest son and dauther in law's desperate need for a baby. He always wanted to know when the IVF would be starting. The way it worked out as I was egg sharing our start date kept being postponed because of the numerous tests and other timings and so we didn't start until after Grandad Pat left this world and although we are not big believers in god we so believe that Pat was there all the way helping our 1st try at IVF which turned out to be ICSI become our little princess today so...

Thank you so much Grandad Pat xxxxxxx

Temperature....

Well Princess has another temperature 38.2 although no where near as bad as a few weeks ago when it was hitting 40's she seems ok in herself although struggling a little with her one nap a day so maybe we need to go back too two. I am praying it is just a side effect from her MMR jab and not an illness poor little thing seems to have been really suffering the last few months with throat infections and tonsilitus.

New words we have had over the past few days from our princess

-teeth (when pointing at the toothbrush)
-dirty (when playing with water outside)
-goat
-baby (calls her dolly baby and trys to put a nappy on her, kisses her and cuddles her like I cuddle Georgia. She also puts baby on the potty and today actually sat on it herself whilst I was in the kitchen no wee/poo yet but its a start hey).

So along with Dadda, Mamma, book, gran, nana, boo (not sure if this is meant to be poo or playing pee-po) we seem to be starting a vocabulary. She has been trying to say Neil my brothers name and Granddad when looking at Paddy's Dad photo (that's another post).

Georgia is also intent on trying to dress herself which adds alot of time onto our schedule when she is trying to put her feet into the arms of her top.

MMR jab....

Well its just over a week after Georgia's MMR jab and today she has a rash which is 'too be expected' so they say she seems happy enough in herself even though she also has a runny nose. She has had a swollen face too which I am not sure whether that is down too a touch of the mumps from the jab or not but that seems to have gone down.

Georgia didn't wake until 7.20am this morning (well 6am then went back too sleep) which is like a mega lie in for Mummy and Daddy as she has always been an early waker 5am onwards so I really hope we have turned a corner with that

15months old....

Well how on earth did that happen, I never thought I would be a Mummy after trying for nearly 6years and here I am with a little sweetheart that is 15mths old. I know people say it all the time but 'I really don't know where the time is going' . She is walking around, into everything, very nosey to the extent that she is happy too sit on the bench with you at the park and 'people watch' rather than go on the swings. She obviously gets this from Mummy.

Georgia has just started eating vegetables again (hasn't eaten veg since she was about 8months old) with mint sauce on granted but hey if thats the way she eats it then mint sauce it is. Everybody tells you they need their five a day, have you ever tried getting a toddler to eat something they don't want too?

After 3months of nursery Georgia is now confident to go off and play and not scream that Mummy is leaving her and she has recently moved upto the next room (where did my baby go)

Well this is a small snippet of my little princess I will be back with more information

Thanks for reading
