Sydney has been HOT. Like extremely hot. From bushfires to strong winds blowing down trees and sweat raining from your body. Pregnancy isn't helping much when hot weather plus hot body come together, it turns out to be a disaster, my clothes have patches everywhere before I even step out of my house. I used to say I really enjoy the hot weather but now I'm starting to think that maybe, I dont like the hot so much after all.

Apart from the heat, we have been on the go non-stop. We bought a new family car (Kia sportage) and I new double pram (bugaboo donkey), which we will be getting a specialised insert for Mango to help support him. Our round of '6 month follow up appointments' have come and gone, thank god. Our paediatrician was very happy to see Mango making more noises and now weight bearing, although she thinks he may never be able to walk or talk. It has taken a while for us to get used to the fact that mango may always be non-verbal and never physically active. All is well now though. Ortho Doc gave us an all good with his feet, even though he did think that his ankle bone was a bit high still but nonetheless very nicely shaped and bones all in the right place.

Mango is growing up slowly. I feel extremely proud to be his mother and I feel the need to show him off to the world every minute of the day. He makes things so much easier to deal with because of his cheeriness and his ability to make you smile and remind you that everything isn't as bad as it always seems. There have been tough days these past few months, struggling to be ontop of everything and getting rounder everyday but mango's ability 'nothing' as the doctors like to put it, has the ability to make everything better. I have no doubt that he will conquer mountain pathways and climb hills during his journey whether it be in a wheelchair that he is being pushed around in or his on his two feet.

Everywhere we go, people fall inlove with the solider that he is. His changing people and the way they see things without even doing anything except being himself.


Sorry, I haven't been around. I hope to be back real soon!
