Time to expand on the comment I made in my last post - "Michael was working".

Michael has signed up with one or two temp agencies and was offered some work on Tuesday last week.  He declined the Tuesday as we had the appointment at the hospital for Naomi.  However, he did accept the work for the Wednesday.  Turns out the work was at a recycling plant in the city and he was basically moving rubbish about - very dirty work.  He was asked back for the next day...and the next day.  So Michael had 3 days of work last week!

As you can rightly assume, he was back there again yesterday too.  He said no to today's work offer as we had to take Naomi and Jeremiah to see the doctor and he wanted to support me with todays happenings (Elijah had kinder this morning too).  Michael received a phone call this afternoon to see if he would be available to go back again tomorrow.

As I mentioned above, the work is very dirty and also somewhat physically demanding.  Although Michael is not thrilled about the type of work this is, he is still accepting it and cheerfully going about the task.  I thank God for such a loving husband who is willing to do what it takes to support his family.  Everything happens for a reason and I pray that Michael continues to let God shine through him - even through the muck and grime of a recycling plant.

Naomi's appointment with the paediatrician went really well.  It was requested we go back for a check-up due to a small fontanelle.  However the paediatrician explained that it was more about the fact that her sutures were difficult to feel and could result in the skull fusing too quickly (Craniosynostosis).  Her head has grown though and her head-shape is fine, so he feels there won't be a problem.  We still need to keep an eye on it though - mainly through having her head measured at each MCH visit.

The three youngest had MCH visits on Wednesday.  They are all growing and developing well.

Naomi had her two month immunisations this morning, and we had Jeremiah checked out as he's had a persistant cough for a couple of weeks now.  Nothing to be concerned about.  The doctor said it was not in his chest and it should clear within a week or so.  We had never seen this doctor before (we are looking for a new family doctor) and I was pleasantly surprised.  He was very good with the kids.  He was patient with them, but also firm enough to get done what he needed to do.  I find that rare these days.
