Birth Club: October 2007Created By nifagurgleEditor on 04 June 2008

Can't believe that two years have gone by so quickly. How did everyone else celebrate their little ones 2nd birthdays? Matthew is now a typical boy into everything and not afraid of anything!

hi everyone, just thought i'd introduce myself. my son harvey was born 11th oct 07 and is disabled. he has a multi system genetic condition called tubeorus sclerosis complex. he has brain tumours, severe epilepsy, west syndrome, heart tumours causing wolff-parkinson-white syndrome, tumours on his kidneys, global development delay, gastroeasophogal reflux, eye sight problems inc right convergent squint, sensory processing isues, hypersensitivity and possible autism. sounds really bad when i read it back but to me he is just 'normal' as he is my first and only child. he functions at around 6-8 months development wise and 3 months mental ability wise. he is the happiest child i have ever known and i am so proud of how far he has come. when he was born i was told he wasnt likely to make it past 1 month, but he is nearly 2 and doing so well. his physio thought he would be a vegetable and never hold his head up or smile. he has just started crawling 2 weeks ago. he is starting a special needs pre-school next week and i'm so nervous!

Hi,I havent been on here in a while,as my son Cadan is now 21months and a joyful handful! If im not retreaving the cats dish from him or searching the bin to see what "rubbish" he's thrown out... Im finding 'lost' items in my shoes and amongst the bushes out the front of our house (luckily my camera turned up 3wks later undamaged despite this wet summer we're having). Im loving this stage-the walking,near talking&frolics we get ourselves into! Its all gone too quick! Hope all other October Babies are doing well&being mischievious delightful darlings for their mummies :D L x

Hi. Still trying to navigate my way round on here but looks like no-one's posted on this group for 9 months??? How are we all doing?? We must be busy, I know my feet have hardly touched the ground, hence few posts. Zoe is 16 months old now, runs, climbs stairs and onto the sofa and is great fun. Loads of vocalising so can't wait for her to talk properly! Baby signing has been great. Anyone else use it?? Zoe eats great, in fact better that me! Really love my little one. Sx

I feel like I am overdressing my wee one now after reading your posts! She still goes to bed in vest, sleepsuit, a lightweight grow bag AND has blankets! She is never too warm though...she must just be a cold potato! Her hands are always freezing even if the room is warm.....any tips?
