Jan/Feb/Mrch 2012 Momies to Be

Good morning Ladies,

Angi - I saw peanut at 6 weeks 4 days, and got a picture of peanut as well as the heartbeat. Like Justine said if you are certain of your dates, then go for the appointment.

Debbie - the funny thing is over the weekend I had to go buy new panties, seems like mine have gone AWOL. So that is just gross but I am sure she took them. The worst is that we have been treating her so well. When she started I cleaned out my cupboard as all my cloths were to big, so instead of selling them, I gave them to her. So I know my old cloths fit her. I have noticed things missing, at least no money stolen, yet. But I am fed up and can't wait for her to leave, she is driving me insane. DH lost it yesterday with her. Jamie is a little Harry Houdini, we have to watch him carefully in anyway, so Jamie escaped the house through the doggy door, DH was busy doing stuff in the garage and all of a sudden when he looked up, there was Jamie climbing the fence!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DH had a good go at her, for not watching him.

Jamie is a little boy, and boys will be boys. But I feel like he is just to clever for his own parents. Like he loves climbing things, i.e. the book case, the fence, burglar bars...... it drives me insane. He also has no fear. When I tell him no, he proceeds to tell me yes! I have my hands will with this little man and am really wishing for a little girl, I mean please!

All the family know about Jamie's antics and all know to watch out for him but it is like he is just to clever. I mean he is bigger than he's two year old cousin and he is only 14 months old.

How do you ladies cope with your little ones now being pregnant again? Would you do anything different?

Debbie, that's a long time to have to wait for your scan. Cant they squeeze you in earlier, given your circumstances? The hcg count sounds good though, so fingers crossed.

Angi, I went for my first scan at 6 weeks 3 days and saw a little bean + heartbeat. If you're certain of your dates then you should also. A lot of doctors prefer waiting a while though because if you are out with your dates by even 4 days, then it may be too early to see anything and you'll get stressed for nothing (which is the situation we hope Debbie is in). All that said, i'd take the appointment anyway!

Debbie gud count fx it goes up...don't like waiting either...

Maureen & Charlene its terrible if your house help steals, we had one that used to steal my clothes Tdont know how she will fit in it), our coffee, sugar n tea could neva catch her but after awhile I just had enough and told her to leave have neva had a house help again, I rather do everything myself and know its done proberly and my stuff doesn't go missing...

M2B how you doing, how did the appointment go?

Dr office just phoned me I can get helped tomorrow morning I'm super excited and just wanna see my bean, DH thinks its to soon to go for a scan...I'm only 6 weeks 3 days do you ladies also think its to early should I rather wait 2 more weeks before I go for scan...

Carlene - I feel your pain. What is up with these people?! I mean we treat them well, and because of it they steal, and treat us like sh1t! I honestly think that you should let her go, and with the next housekeeper just be a b1tch from day one.

I am not getting a housekeeper again. I have a friend whose house keeper is willing to do my iroining once a week, and I can do the cleaning myself. As this nanny is useless at it in anyway. I can do a better job in anyway.

I am now trying to see if my friend that is on leave from school in August can't take my little one the last two weeks so that I can let her go sooner. As she is really driving me insane.

Maureen , I feel your pain. I’m in sort of the same situation with the cleaning lady.
We have moved into a rental house for time being, so most of our stuff is still in boxes. Well, she helped herself with a radio for her room. We gave her an old phone of my husband, and when it was time for him to upgraded to a new phone, his old phone was on his bedside table, because it went dead just after he got his new phone. She asked me what is wrong with the phone, and I told her it is broken. The next day when he arrived at home, she was waiting for him, with the cell phone in her hand. She asked him if she can have the phone, after we gave her his other phone about a month before. She also told him that she can get the phone fixed for him for R250.00. He told her, NO, he still needs to transfer the numbers and data from that phone to the new one. And if he wants it fixed, he will do it himself. And he took the phone from her. About two weeks later, my husband asked me if I have seen the phone and I went to her, to ask her, and she told me yes, my husband gave it to her. She even took the charger out of his drawer. I mean really. And the thing is, my husband works for Telkom, and that was a company phone, now he must pay R150, because he cannot give the phone back. And we realized that the broken phone that Emma played with is also gone.

Two weeks ago, we found some caramel popcorn on the floor. I looked into the cupboard and saw that the holder with the popcorn in is half, and we didn’t eat is, and she is alone at the house the whole day. I asked her, but she said she didn’t eat it. So I don’t have proof. And her cleaning is up to S… But hey, that’s my problem, and I’m too soft to let her go.

I wish people can just leave the stuff that is not theirs alone. I asked a friend from work to look after our house during the holiday. And my child’s CD player disappeared from the box that it was in. As well of some of my “Lock & Locks”, and I know she took it, because she brings her food in it to work. Luckily I got my DVD’s back, but I had to ask her for about two weeks every week to bring it. And the sad part is, we’re working for a church. She borrowed a jacket from the one lady, and now she doesn’t bring it back. She will rather wear it to work. I hate stealing. Please man, I work very hard for my stuff, leave my stuff alone.
But JA, that’s enough, complaining for one day. Maybe we must start a Club in “how to be a B****”

Yay Carlene!! wish I can feel it more often, but I am not supposed to feel it yet anyway. So just glad when I do

Debbie, I also hate waiting for my scans. I made an app with gp to do a scan at twelve weeks...but I lost the card with date on it, but I think it almost around the same date as yours. Can't wait...Now I have to phone the gp's office.

Any news Mom2B? How did appointment go?

Hi Ladies,

Mom2B - how did the Gynae appointment go?

Debbie - the HCG level sounds good. Good luck with the waiting game, I am not fond of it either.

I have my second, 12 week appointment next week Tuesday and can't wait anymore. I want to see my peanut!

Ladies, I had a good weekend, just one problem. My nanny is driving me up the wall!!!!! I have had to let her go as of end of August. As we just can't afford her anymore. Just some background. The lady she worked for before, gave a glowing report about her, I mean I had coffee with this women. Anyway she started in January. So when she started we paid her only a certain amount, the same she got from the previous employer. Only to be told after a month, that it is to little, me being soft hearted then upped the salary. So then I started noticing things....like I would tell her one thing and she would do another. Like she does stupid stuff, if I have told you once don't, then don't. So any in anyway. When we moved into the bigger house, she started taking stuff with the move, and DH would tell her no, and go fetch it out her room. But I had a old phone, that Jamie played with, it was broken with no battery and Jamie loved it. About 3 months ago, I noticed it missing. So DH asked her where it was, oh, she says, she had it fixed and took it. I mean really!!!!!!!

Anyway over the weekend, well for a while now I have noticed things missing, I am talking about food, like being finished quickly as well as the cleaning supplies, but have never been able to catch her or see specifically something. Over the weekend I noticed something with the Sunlight Washing Powder. Well needless to say she is stealing, I just can't cath her. Now she is supposed to go end of August, but I really don't want her in my house anymore. I want her out! But I can't send her packing as Jamie only starts full time play group in September!

Ladies I am so upset. I have been so good to this worthless piece of sh1t! My DH says I have a soft heart and that is why people walk over me....why can't I just be a b1tch!!!!!!
