Moving

On the move again!

(Anyone who knows us knows that this is usually a regular occurrence... I swear Troy must get itchy feet every 6 months lol)

This time is into a long term private rental.

So I won't be around much for the next few weeks :)

Speech Therapy

Gosh I am peeved at our Speechy....

Yet again today she has stuffed us up ....

We were booked in for a 10am app here in WCK.....

I called to confirm time yesterday and left several messages for her and got no reply....

She called me back at 9.45am and informed me she had us booked in for 10am.. but in QDI.. (20km away)......

FFS I am sick of her stuffing around....

Accountability.... :(

My name is Vicki and I am ashamed of myself.

I jumped on the scales today and cried.

I am now sitting at 109.2 kg :(

I was 90.5kg when I fell pregnant...

I was 92kg when I was 42 weeks pregnant..

I came home from hospital weighing 84.6kg...

That means in 26 months I have gained 24.6kg :(

I started back using a free 14 day trial of Weight Watchers today.

I hope I can workout what I usually eat etc and get a rough idea of points etc so I can continue on without it afterwards.

I need to be 90kg in April so that the OB/GYN will help me fall pregnant..

So thats 19.2 kg I have to lose in about 16 wks... it is achievahble.
Its only just over 1.2kg/wk.

I need to start eating properly.. In the sense.. I need to eat.

I rarely eat - I have no interest in food... but when I do eat - I eat a lot in one go - usually late at night....

My body is in 'starvation' mode and I need to eat btw 8-12 small portions of food a day as I have insulin resistance... I also need to start taking my Metformin properly.

So here we go :)

Ok done :)

Ok so if you read below, you will see our journey from 01/10/10-19/10/10 in regards to Nathan and having him tested for Autism.

As it does say a fair way down the page we are currently in limbo til 14 Feb 2011 until Nathan has another Griffith's test - which I thought showed just how their motor skills levels were sitting at - but when I looked up for the link for here I noticed it says its actually a mental development scale :( (here is the link if you would like to find out more about it Griffiths Test

Until it is redone and Nathan's mental age is at the the equiv of 2 years old - we cannot go ahead with the ADI-R testing for Autism.

His speech is sitting at the 15-18 month old level (and he will be 2 1/2 aka 30 months on the 29th Oct)

We got given the diagnosis yesterday of 'Developmentally Delayed' & 'Sensory Processing Disorder'.

This alone could be the problem, but it also can be just ticks in boxes on the Autism scale too...

So yeah fun and games here for us at the moment.

Day 1 ! Blogging for Octoberfest 2010!

Autism....

Nathan was given the diagnosis of Autism in July when we saw the Pediatrician.
We did some paperwork - and we were told that he has mid - high functioning variety. Now we have to wait til our next appointment to find out more.

I didn't actually realise that the paperwork we did was part of the actual paperwork we have to do for the diagnosis until the Speechy asked had we done it (MCHAT) and I was like, ummm I've done it 3 times now...

Our next scheduled appointment isn't until 12/12 - so I have been calling and calling to see if we could see him sooner... Finally last Friday we got the date of 19/10!! I also kept the 12/12 appointment and made another appointment while I could for mid March which is when his next appointments were available. I dread to think when our next appointment date would have been if we didn't see him until Dec and tried to book the next appointment!

He passed his hearing test last week! Scheduled for an eye test on the 19/10 as well. Speechy is doing a formal speech assessment to see where he actually sits next Friday and we see the OT the following Thursday to discuss the program she wants us to start with him..

When we saw the OT a few weeks ago she told us that he has a big problem in the sensory area. And said it needs to be addressed and dealt with ASAP. Evidently the messages from his brain to what activity etc he is doing is getting lost in translation and then the same on the return path from the activity to the brain :(

I questioned her about toilet training as he will be 2 1/2 at the end of October and she said its the least thing to be worrying about atm and to deal with everything else first off. I wish certain people would stop constantly hounding me about it. He doesn't even know that he poo's in his nappy - you find out when the smell his you :(

Any way I best be moving and starting activities here for the boy

Days 6, 7 & 8

Things havent been the best the last few days...

I have been having a hard time with a few issues I have etc....

Lack of motivation, energy etc.

I really need to get out of this slump.

Last night was really the icing on the cake - 2.30am I was wide awake still, I had gone to bed at 10pm..... so i had to use my incase of emergency meds (sleeping tablets/anxiety meds) for this purpose. and come 3am i was still awake, so had to take a second dose.

I managed about 2 1/2 hours sleep btw then and 8 am.....

I sms'd my mum and she came and grabbed Nate and took him down to her place at 9am and brought him back at 12.45. I got about 1 hrs sleep tops over the course of 9.30-12.

Better than nothing tho I guess :)
