Merry Meet

ah yes. I've been the black sheep in the family for as long as I can remember. Stubborn. Opinionated and rebellious

Will have to see what J will be like.

I was also the first in the family to move out an then move in with boyfriend, now DH. 10yrs later

Leandre,

It amazes me how toddlers are clean slates, not influenced by society yet. What a beautiful phase to be able to live with no
inhibitions!!

Gloei

I like variety so I listen to any kinda music, just depends on my mood.

J has a liking for music, any kind in fact even dances to the intro of the 7pm news

You shoul dsee the looks and comments I get about the music that Joshua likes. He should, apparently, be listening to baby mozart!!!!!!!! Really now, I've seen kids that we raised on baby mozart, the little devils No thanks, I am very happy with my happy child.

P.S. Used to & still listen to 5fm. Even whilst preggies. Joshua used to do flip flops in my tummy during our morning drive to the office.

Ladypandora,

Welcome.

I dress in black 95% of the time, so I feel your pain.
I did manage to find the most black pregnancy clothing in Mr. Price.
Even later, when buying baby/toddler stuff Mr. Price stocks the
largest "variety" of black clothing.

Yes, I am also waiting for the day I will get reported for letting my baby listen to Nine inch nails and other rather loud music. She loves Rammstein. Pity she can't go to the concert with us!

We baptised our baby in a black fur babygrow .
Imagine the stares from a "gereformeerde kerk" HA!

Yes, people do look at you in a funny way, but let them stare!
Being a good mom has nothing to do with your personal tastes and dislikes.

Congrats on the little one and welcome.

i CRAVED sushi during my first pregnancy, so my gynea said every now and again was fine, as long as it came from a really good place.

ha ha ha especially about the coloured clothes!!

try veggie sushi until you can have the fish again, its kept me going...

Claire, if I could afford an actual maternity corset I would

I actually opted for just wearing my corsets instead of a belly wrap after the pregnancy as they cost the same, and since they were made for me to begin with they fit snugly and perfectly.

I do waist binding, so where walking around unable to breathe sounds really bad to some people the whole corset thing is heavenly to me. Probably the thing I miss most at the moment...my corsets and long flowing skirts...oooh and sushi...hehe

For the first time in my life I was forced to wear colored clothes...gothic maternity clothes are pretty impossible to buy on an account. lol
