I haven't written here in ages. Jonathan is 18 months old now and thriving. He walks (runs!) climbs, babbles, says a handful of words and the sounds of a few animals too. We're entering into the tantrum stage and he is stubborn just like mummy and daddy! But he is such a sweet little guy.
He loves swimming lessons, going to the park, his toy cows, trains, shoes, apples, carrots, sultanas and cheese. He hates having to wait, sitting still, broccoli, pumpkin, the sound hairdryers make and ice cream (too cold!)
He's had two hair cuts and it looks like he's got my fine blonde frizzy hair. In some lights it nearly looks strawberry blonde. His eyes have lightened to a bright piercing blue, exactly like his daddy. For a while I thought he was going to be left handed but he's showing a strong right handed preference.
I stopped breastfeeding at 15 months, and last month we stopped co sleeping and transitioned him into his cot. He's still in our room next to our bed, I'm just not ready to have him in his own room. Most nights he sleeps through the night, but he still fights going to sleep. And he has a rough nights sleep about once a week.
I haven't gone back to work yet, my plan is to sign up for relief work (subbing) one or two days a week next year.
We have no plans to do ivf again and we don't have any frozen embryos. I'm on birth control for now but that's more to help control my migraines than anything else. I don't know what our plans are, I'd love for Jonathan to have a sibling but I don't think I could do ivf again. I don't know, maybe that will change in a year or two. Maybe it won't.
For now I'm enjoying my sweet, stubborn little boy.
