Hi All, So I write my first blog for 2013 with some good news.... At the end of January Adam and I found out that I am pregnant with baby #2! We are both really excited about the pending arrival of baby #2 and I am doing very well. My due date is 7th of October 2013 and I will be 13 weeks on monday the 1st April. Once again I have been reallyt sick this pregnancy, but it is begining to fade now. Mahailia is now 14 months old, very chatty and independent and loves being mamma and daddy's little helper with lots of things, she loves cars, trucks, trains pretty much anything that moves. She also loes watching me to my university work. I have now...

Hi Guys, First off I have to say that I am sooo very sorry on not keeping you all updated on us, I try but there are never enough hours to get everything done, so it's time to pull my finger out and update you all.... Would you believe that our little Mahailia Maree is turning one next month!!! I can't believe that it's been a year since I was about to say hi to our daughter, she is doing really well sporting five teeth with number six not too far behind, she is also trying to walk and climbing everywhere! Mahailia is also now just drinking out of bottles or cups with straws, no sippy cups or baby bottles..... She doesn't want anything to do...

We have a little mastermind on our hands.

All has been crazy here for us... Mahailia is now 9 months old, crawling, climbing and learning all lovely and wonderful things. We are heading into our summer season which I love I prefer the warm weather instead of the cold. Physio is going really well now I am getting more confident with the nimbo too and better with hills and slopes. My balance is also improving alot.. I wonder how I manage physio, a child and everything else... Since I last wrote we have had snow in october (yup snow in spring) We are looking forward to Christmas this year as it is Mahailia's first christmas and the family are spoiling her rotten. We have been paying thi...

Hi All, Gosh I feel as though I have been keeping you all in the dark with what has been going on, on this side of the world with me and my beautiful family. I always have you all in the back of my mind and within my thoughts, but many a time it is a strugggle to be able to sit down and fill you all in on the ups and downs of the Steele family and my progress in particular. For starters princess Mahailia is well, she is now 7.5 months old and presenting me with new challenges, but having said this she is a bundle of laughs, joy and excitement. Mahailia now has her two bottom front teeth, can sit up by herself and can get around on the f...

At the end of the day I am human too

Hi All, it has been a week of doctors and scans, but it's all ok I guess the reason I write this blog to you all tonight is just to spill those "ahhh" type of feelings as I am sure you have all experienced them at some time in life especially if someone you love battles/ lives with special needs. I had my bone scan on monday to check on my left hip and base of my spine which I was told had osteoporosis and osteopina two years ago, so in knowing this then I knew there was a very minimal risk of fracture, but in my thought process I thought well... Meh if fracture something then I deal with it knowing that cerebral palsy mean that there i...
