LiL’deviL’s LittLe famiLy

I apologise for my 4-week absence on my blog and my non-reply on all your much-appreciated comments. I’m using the pc more than the laptop now because it’s so much faster. I’ve got too many files crammed up in my laptop that I have yet to delete/burn out. I do all my blogging on my laptop as the photoshop is here. Also my blog dashboard and PPP are two of the three homepages on my Internet Explorer so once I open the explorer I will automatically receive updates.

Thank you for all your concerns about my diet and Ethan’s speech development. The diet is not going very well for me yet as I’m not consistent and there are still a lot of snacks left in the cabinet, if you know what I mean. As for Ethan, we went for the blood test (horrible, blood drawn from the back of hand) and the iron level turned out to be normal. On the other hand we also found out that his red blood cells are a little smaller than normal and that he has a mild thalassemia. It’s not affecting him now but when he wants to have children in the future he needs to make sure that his partner does not have the same condition. As for his appetite the doctor recommended to use a multi-vitamin to help increase it, I think he needed the supplement too since he’s not eating much veges or fruits. We got a call back for both the hearing test and the speech therapy. First available appointment for hearing is in April, and first for speech is in four months. We’re not that worried so we can wait (also because our private health insurance does not cover speech therapy and I was told private therapist could be really expensive). I know he’s got no trouble hearing and with his speech, he’s babbling a lot more these days. Believe it or not, he learned those from his tv programs and also his alphabets phonics magnets.

I have also been busy searching for a house. I really want to move asap. Been to quite a few inspections but still haven’t found one that both of us quite like and within our budget. We’re thinking to build now but a good-sized land with a good-sized price in a good location is not that easy to find as well. Won’t be going to any inspections this weekend as I will be busy preparing for the big boss’ birthday. I can’t even invite my mummy friends over because the house is too small. It’s either Eddie’s friends or mine. Since I was only going to invite 3 friends with kids, I thought I’d do it when we do own a house. Also we’re closer to Eddie’s friends.

I will try to update the blog after Ethan turned 2. I will be filling up most of the missing dates from this month so watch out for new posts below this. But don’t expect too much, I don’t want to dissapoint! hahaha…
