Its been almost 2 weeks since i posted. We have had a good few weeks, no break downs for mummy :) With no appointments or anything to tell you about theres not much to update you on. His next tests are still 2 months away, i want to give u more back ground about alex but i still cant find is record book.
Ive tried tracking down his records and no where has them :( Im getting really upset about that, all his baby records are in this book, his height weight and everything when he since was born, the birth ones are in his baby book too so i have those but in between then and his 2yo checkup i cant find any records.
His speech is coming along great, he hasn't had an appointment since the last update as it got cancelled because she was sick. His sentences are getting longer now and we can understand more words.
Until next time Melissa

Some people Amaze me
Im so lucky yo have the wonderful friends that i do, i got this lovely txt from my bff the other day and it made me tear up a little. It said,
It reminded me of you!
She can deal with stress and carry heavy burdens,
She smiles when she feels like screaming &
She sings when she feels like crying.
She cries when shes happy and laughs when shes afraid
Her love is unconditional, There is only one thing wrong with her
She forgets what shes worth.
I might only have a few friends but the ones i do have are amazing. I know what i go through isn't easy but i am one of the lucky ones there's so many touching story's about special needs children not just those with microcephaly, these women and families amaze me with there strength and love. So as i leave you tonight i leave you with a poem :)
"Heavens very Special Child"
A meeting was held quite far from earth,
"It's time again for another birth" ,
Said the angels to the Lord above,
"This special child will need much love .
" His progress may seem very slow,
Accomplishments he may not show;
And he'll require extra care From the folks he meets down there
.He may nor run or laugh or play,
His thoughts may seem quite far away.
In many ways he won't adapt,
And he'll be known as handicapped.
So let's be careful where he's sent,
We want his life to be content.
Please, Lord, find the parents who,
Will do a special job for You.
They will not realize it right away,
The leading role they're asked to play.
But with this child sent from above,
Comes stronger faith and richer love.
And soon they'll know the privilege given,
In caring for this gift from heaven.
Their precious charge, so meek and mild
IS HEAVENS VERY SPECIAL CHILD...

My amazing little man
Just a little note to share with you how special my little boy is, he is such a little character and a great big brother.
Yesterday he found a scratch on his baby brothers head, he didn't know that bubs did it himself. So he asked him if he was ok then with a really stern voice, said " wheres the cat". That cat was going to be in big trouble if mummy hadn't told Alex Lachlan scratched himself.
He also loves to read to him, later in the evening when his little sister has gone to bed and just him and Lachlan are up he brings over a book and says to me "my baby? Book?" i know what he wants so i prop lachlan up on the couch next to Alex and he sits there and reads to him.
Sometimes when im heating up a bottle for lachlan, he will be crying and Alex will go up to him and say in a really concerned voice "lochie you want a bobal"
He tries to help me change Lachlans nappy "i do, i do" he says so i move aside and let him give it a try but all he does is open the tabs then says "ewww" and moves away.
Its not just the baby tho, he kissed his sister hurt today when she fell over and once or twice his spotted me crying and he will come up wipe my tear away, lay his head on my legs and ask me "you ok mummy"
He really amazes me everyday with the wonderful things he does. He gets his sister drinks, we have a new fridge that has the drink thing in the front and his worked it out so he fills her cup not just his own. Today i found them on the floor with a pillow and a blanket reading a book together. They fight most of the time but those little moment when they play nice together are so worth it.
Well that note wasn't so little after all, so ill go now and leave you with hopefully some giggles from the stories of the cute and wonderful things he does.

Just a little update
Not really much to tell, had a medium day yesterday, cried a little but not a lot. Might seem like it was over something silly to some people but we moved a few months ago and since we moved i can't find Alex's blue health book, for anyone outside Australia its a record book your given when there born, there weight, height etc is written in it and so are details every check up. One of the main reason im so stressed about finding it, is because there's memories in there plus all his doctors letters, test results etc Ive been putting in the front to keep it all together. So now im faced with a very long task of tracking all his records down, i don't even know where to begin. Not much else to tell at this point his next appointment isn't until the 7th, we continue to do his speech therapy activities. thanks for reading another post :)
