There’s so much more to it than I ever thought possible.
2 X-Rays, no rock.
Either
a) I am delusional, there was no rock (I’m pretty certain there was a rock, despite my delusions), or
b) The rock has “passed” (pretty sure that I would have noticed), or
c) The rock wasn’t visible to the machine. It was quartz, apparently it happens.
Anyway, kid is full of the joys of spring, so its very unlikely that there is any harm done. Yet.
Good day today – Aqua-aerobics, kid had 2 good sleeps, got through some tough challenges on the wii fit. I even got a few loads of washing done.
I should have known I was asking for trouble when I tried to get some gardening done too.
Inigo was in his cage, I was killing grass in preparation for planting some parsley, when I noticed that he had a rock in his mouth.
I raced over, threw off my gardening gloves, and reached out to him, just as he toppled over backwards. I picked him up, prised open his mouth, and found nothing.
The little blighter had swallowed it.
I’ve spoken to my GP, apparently any nasty side effects should be fairly obvious, so if he’s in pain, or spewing (more than usual), we’re off to hospital. Otherwise, a trip to the GP tomorrow for an x-ray referral and check up.
Please keep everything crossed that I make it to Saturday.
Best caption wins a little something from the stash.
It’s OK – the cage is DoCS approved 😉
Andrew the Fairly Odd Mother bought this for Inigo a few weeks ago, and I finally got a picture of him in it. Lucky I did – about 30 minutes later it was drenched in my morning coffee, I had a lapse of concentration due to missing my morning coffee 😉
Hoyden about Town has a great post about Salma Hayek, who is “still” breastfeeding her daughter at 13 months.
I always thought I’d stop breastfeeding when the kid grew teeth, I certainly never thought I’d still be breastfeeding when he turned one, and I never dreamed I’d be feeding him for two years. But that is what the World Health Organisation recommends, and it’s particularly relevant for kids with allergies in the family. It’s what the paed recommends, so that’s what we’ll do.
And I hope that my experience adds to the general acceptance of breastfeeding beyond 6 months.
In typical slapdash Lara fashion, I’ve just gone through my address book and facebook contact list, and randomly sent invitations. Of course, this means that I will have forgotten some important people, and there are also some people that I don’t have current email addresses for.
So if you haven’t received your invitation yet, leave a comment (and I’ll get your email address), and then I can rectify the situation.
Apologies in advance.
Get yourself over to Fe’s blog – she has posted some gorgeous pics from our visit last week.
The favourite game this week, is flinging himself over, forwards, backwards, sideways, whatever. Someone is ALWAYS there to catch him – he is a very secure child.
But sometimes, he gets distracted mid game, and forgets to fall over – and we see a few seconds of actual unaided standing.
This morning, he even took a step before the fling took full effect!
P.S. We popped in to the clinic this morning, weight ticking along nicely, head slowing down, another 2cm long, and “very advanced” verbal development. Apparently all that yelling is a good thing.
