taking it day by day taking it day by day wednesday august 18 2010 musically inclined okay so i realize this probably makes me insane but i m looking into signing skyler up for another music class kindermusik it s on monday nights at 6pm lately he s been staying up until like 9pm anyway so this will hopefully tire him out enough to go to sleep before 9 it s a 15 min walk from my place it s 15 weeks whereas the other one is only 10 you get a couple books and an activity book and a lunch bag and an instrument to keep and you can pay in a series of post dated cheques skyler and i went to our baby me class today and he watched the other babies interact and he was reticent to join them he wasn t crying or anything but he was just sitting back and watching at one point a little one came up and gave him a big hug at first he was just like wth then he started to freak out a little like mommy why is this baby touching me i really want him to interact more with other babies especially since he s hopefully going to be a big brother soon most of all though i want him to have fun to interact with others including adults and try something different you have no idea how stir crazy we get sitting in the same apartment doing the exact same things every day so i m hoping since music is something he loves and something i love and something that visually impaired kids can participate in easily that this will be a good choice for him plus he gets a disability cheque each month and that money is for him and to help support him in his development and all that stuff so i don t have a problem spending it on something like this i know two days a week might be a lot but they re spread apart enough i think and both classes are parent involved classes so it s not like i ll be leaving him with strangers anyway let me know if you think i m nuts not that it will change my mind or anything posted by azaera at 10 13 pm 2 comments labels kindermusik music therapy special needs tuesday august 17 2010 watching tv yesterday skyler and i were at my moms i was sitting on the couch with sky on my lap and there was some commercial on tv my mom s tv is smaller and much higher up than ours my little man points to the tv and says car sure enough it s a car commercial i just looked at him rather stunned you can see that seriously i think he s slightly less blind than we think he is and in the spirit of adorableness i have a picture of my little scottish lad in his wee kilt my dad s side of the family is from aberdeen scotland we re proud scots i couldn t be happier that skyler now owns his first kilt tonight skyler discovered three new things i feel like sesame street here the word of the day is comb skyler loves the comb today no clue food of the day raisins i made him two different meals for dinner nope he wanted raisins handfuls of raisins ok then and his newest activity riding in the laundry basket and saying yey and yes it sounds just the way i spelled it but much cuter than i can convey in type posted by azaera at 10 00 pm no comments labels pictures special needs monday august 16 2010 lots to say i ve been a bad blogger lately there s so much going on it s hard to decide what to tell you about i ll start with our appointment at the hospital for prenatal genetics last week my appointment was for 2 30 we got into the hospital with 7 minutes to spare but then had to find our way through the tunnels to the right building then when we got to the right building the people behind the bullet proof glass who you had to use a phone to talk to couldn t seem to figure out where i was supposed to be after 5 10 mins of searching through some binder they finally told me to go to the basement weird i know i get down there and we must have been like 5 minutes late so i tell them i m here they tell me to go sit down half an hour goes by and women are coming in and leaving fairly quickly after seeing their docs there s a sign on the window of the reception that says if you ve been waiting longer than half an hour please inform the staff okay so i walk over and ask when i ll be seeing the doctor the woman picks up a phone says she s calling him and then i m standing there waiting a couple walks in and basically shoves me aside to get to the window i m still standing there waiting the woman hangs up the phone and tells me to go sit down which honestly was extremely rude she didn t answer my question i don t think she even talked to anyone on the phone and just told me to sit down i went and sat annoyed an hour goes by and i walk over to the other woman in the reception desk hoping for a better answer this time i get an i don t know giggle shrug i walk off to the bathroom and when i come back skyler is starting to get annoyed c is getting antsy so i start pacing the room with skyler loudly saying i know baby i m sorry i m just as frustrated as you are i didn t think we d be here for an hour and a half all the while i can t understand why new people keep coming in and getting seen and leaving so quickly while we re standing here waiting finally some woman comes and says the doctor is with a patient i tell her it s been almost 2 hours she says she doesn t know how long it will be because she can t just interrupt him while he s with someone fine whatever so we wait she comes back another 15 mins later and says it will be 10 more minutes i m frustrated skyler and c are frustrated finally the guy shows up and he says i m sorry about the wait i told them to call me when you got here i had to go upstairs i was ready to deck someone we quickly run through the family history thing how my pregnancy with skyler went he confirms for us as we already knew that septo optic dysplasia is not hereditary there is no reason to suspect that this baby will have it he said that in some rare cases there is a gene that siblings might have in common but it s not very likely he set up an ultra sound for 22 weeks so they can check and see if anything looks abnormal but thats it he also stated that what skyler has is an anomoly that word for some reason comforts me it s something that they can t decipher why it happens it s not genetics it s not something we did wrong it just happens randomly and usually only once in a family ___________________________________________ moving on i haven t talked a lot about this pregnancy okay maybe hardly at all truth is i m both excited beyond words and a bit nervous we managed to have a baby already i know i still worry though i m 11 weeks now the morning sickness seems to have subsided mostly i m scheduled for so many appointments you wouldn t believe it i have an ultrasound in october they sent me a letter no phone call no dr telling me why i m guessing she will explain at my appointment in september that it s because i m high risk or whatever i still want to hear the heartbeat i ve gone to the clinic twice now and they keep telling me i m just not far enough along so i m waiting my next appointment with my nurse practicioner is this coming monday i ll be 12 weeks and hopefully we will be able to hear the heartbeat i love my nurse practicioner i m very happy to have one too bad i will be seen by the high risk ob for most of this pregnancy the baby is due march 8th we keep telling skyler that mommy has a baby in her tummy he doesn t seem to have clued in yet but i m not really showing i have a tummy but it s all fat and he hasn t been around many other babies yet he is saying a lot more new words but he s not walking yet he got new shoes and has worn them twice now he seems to like them which is awesome because before he hated shoes he s almost let go to stand a few times in his new shoes i ve got my fingers crossed the weather has recently turned from scorching hot to chilly windy and autumn like i m thinking i might dress him up in something warm and take him for a walk soon i have more to say but this is already a novel so thanks for reading if you made it this

reprieve two posts in one day sometimes i forget my head i forgot to mention that i ve been stuck with my kid 24 7 and started to go insane i called up my mom on saturday and asked if she had some time for just me thankfully she called me back and said she had planned a nice night for me and my brother the three of us went out for dinner and then to the casino i won 15 haha doesn t sound like much but i m one of those people who cashes out as soon as i get two dollars and my mom gave me the 5 to put in the machine i didn t even bring money to spend so i tripled the 5 and was happy with that it was a great time and it was nice to get a quick break from little guy as much as i love him i think we all need a break sometimes posted by azaera at 9 05 am 1 comment car so c s done his holidays back to work today i m having mixed feelings about it i m mostly sad that we ll have less time together though at times he did get on my nerves he likes things super tidy and uses his time off to clean and clean and complain that i m not wanting to clean but that s just life as a couple honestly i m more likely to clean while he s at work i see his time off as time to spend together i mean obviously some cleaning has to be done but he went out and bought yet another carpet cleaning accessory and cleaned our carpets not that i m complaining ah i just can t win here can i skyler has new words including the word car which he loves whenever we get into the car he sits there saying car over and over with a big smile on his face he s so proud of himself speaking of which i forgot to tell you what happened to our car on the friday before we went camping we were set to leave on saturday morning to go to gimli a town about 2 hours away and then sunday leave to go camping so friday morning we were driving to c s parents they live just outside of town and this person in front of us was driving a pick up truck with a trailer attached on the back the trailer had those metal poles that you see on scaffalding to clean windows of sky scrapers anyway they hadn t checked that it was properly secured and of course a huge metal pole comes flying off this trailer and into our wheel well busted our tire completely c had to honk at them and follow them until they stopped we pulled over to the shoulder as these people had no clue the guy who was driving was a grade a moron he told us it wasn t his fault that the pole came off his trailer as far as i can tell yeah it was his fault if he had properly secured his load beforehand it wouldn t have happened there was also another guy who ran over the metal pole before they went and picked it up out of traffic and he busted his tire too the other guy was from out of province though and didn t know what to do my province s car insurance covers you anywhere in canada most other provinces don t so we called the police and tried to get them to respond to the scene which if there s over a thousand dollars worth of damages they re supposed to they told us to call autopac our insurance company as no one was hurt so they didn t want to respond so autopac says to empty out everything in the car leave the doors unlocked and the keys inside and the tow truck will come pick up the car fortunately we were almost at c s parents about halfway there so his mom came and picked us up talk about stressful our claim adjuster said we could make a claim against the person whose fault it was to try to get a rental car when we got a hold of the adjuster he said we had to wait until that person filed a claim which he was unlikely to do because he didn t believe he was at fault autopac has to send them a letter telling them to make a claim and then it s up to him if he is going to take responsibility for the damages to our car i don t get it which means we have to pay 200 our deductible to get our car back fortunately c s youngest sister has a car but doesn t drive yet so we fixed it up and we re borrowing that for now i m really ticked off about the whole thing though because i don t understand how this other person has the option of not taking responsibility for not properly securing his load now because of his actions we have to pay to have our car fixed we can t get it back until we pay the 200 which is money we don t exactly have since i m off work right now sigh wow i hadn t realized how annoyed i would get just typing all that out here s hoping this person decides to take responsibility for his lack of care which i doubt he will or else we have to take him to small claims court and try to get the money for our deductible out of him posted by azaera at 8 34 am 1 comment thursday august 5 2010 whew it s been a crazy week skyler loved camping right up until he realized we weren t going home at night and that he had to sleep with us on the air mattress then he was much less than pleased so sleeping was less than ideal out in the woods but the weather was beautiful mostly there was a bit of rain but not much and i got to spend some quality time with my brother i really loved canoeing it s been forever since i went out on the lake in a canoe i surprised myself by actually remembering what to do we came back a day early because we didn t feel like staying up all night a second night but we really did enjoy our time camping i ve been looking into getting skyler into a music program he loves music and i want him to have some sort of interaction with other kids as he s starting to get interested in them i think it would be a good opportunity for us to spend some time with him in a different setting with other toddlers helping him learn some social skills and having fun at the same time i m looking into a local program and into kindermusik in our area the kindermusik is closer to us but it s on a monday so i d have to bus there with skyler on my own and it s more expensive the local program is cheaper the classes are an hour instead of 45 mins and it s on friday afternoons so while it s a bit further away c can drive us and attend with us it s at 2 on friday afternoons and i m done work at 1 so it s good timing the class sizes are small 6 8 kids and the teacher is a music teacher i m hoping it will be something skyler will like i sent an email and they offered to hold a spot for us until registration on sept 10th classes begin oct 8th i m hoping it works out and i m hoping we can come up with the fees by then i m supposedly on unemployment for the summer but the gov t hasn t bothered to give me any money yet sigh here s hoping they get it figured out soon
