Jan/Feb/Mrch 2012 Momies to Be

Hi!

Wow ChubbyChick-you have lost a lot of weight - well done!!

Amanda - love the morning tea photo - and Vica does not look impressed at all with the bum cream on her face! I hope she has a lovely birthday on Friday - your family has come a long way in this year - when I look at those lovely expressive eyes on the bum cream photo I can't imagine that it's the same little girl as the small baby on your photos a year ago!

Juandre - we also didn't "plan" Millay - but sometimes the things that you didn't plan are the biggest joy in your life! Enjoy this pregnancy(and I hope it's your little boy )
Keira is in a hurry with her milestones - well done!

Ashleigh, the 2 girls look alot alike - very pretty! Are they playing together yet? Have fun with Zaylee's party!(Janu is also loving Mickey Mouse at this stage, sooo cute when he says Oh Toodles!!). We must arrange for a meet again.

Can't believe Nathi has SIX teeth already Miss Kay! I hope it was painless?? His christening will be very special on Christmas!

Millay's teacher phoned from school this morning just after my husband dropped them of, and asked me to come and pick her up, because she has some red dots on her body, and I must come and fetch her immediately and take her to the dr to make sure it's not contagious, and keep her at home. On the one hand, I understand where she comes from - they do not want sick kids at school who could infect the others, but on the other hand I was a bit cross, because I didn't see anything alarming this morning when I dressed her, and this is now the second time they phone me to come and get her immediately because she's "contagious"! So, phoned hubby - luckily he was only about 10 mins away, and he took her to the doctor. The verdict - she has a bit of excema on her one leg and back.So hubby took her back to school. If I was not working , I would keep her at home, but sorry I am working, thats why shes in school!!! Sorry - just needed to vent a bit!

Chat again soon ladies.

Hello ladies;

sometimes it gets so quiet in here........I am glad everyone is still happy and healthy.

Jaundre-the bible says every perfect gift is from God enjoy your pregnancy and wishing you a son.

Angi-Wow your daughter's developmental stage is very fast at 8 months she can do all those things I so envy you mommy.

CM-Yay on Logan's teething come december he will be eating meat.

Simon C-I can't wait to see pics of your daughter's birthday.I also enjoyed last year's pics you know how to throw a party.

Zelf- Glad Millay is fine now it scares alot when they are sick. Wow on the week holiday I can do with one.

Chubby Chick- I so envy you on the weigh loss. Nathi also does the wormlike crawl and gets frustrated and cry.

Amanda-Vica and Dieter are so cute together its nice to see them getting along,hope his tests detects what he is allergic to

Ashleigh- please share the pics of the party.Cute babies you have. I love Taylin's eyes so full of life.

AFM-Nathi has 6 teeth in total and other looks like they are cutting through, I give him Zymaflour drops. His walking ring is still walking backwards same as his crawling.He had flu but thank God is well without me taking him to the dr medical aid finished.On Monday he took a remote controller and put it on his ear and pretended he is on the phone.Boy oh boy can they really fight with Vuki and she doesn't get it that he is a baby she hits back I don't believe i thought he was 7 months whilst he is actually 8 months bad memory.He still wakes up twice for feeds but feeds himself and you cannot separate him from his dummy.I must lose weight for my wedding next year its so crazy planning but God will see me through and i have exams coming up in January how am I going to cope. Christmas day Nathi will be christianed

Shame Juandre - totally understand. We also wouldn't want to fall pregnant again, but if by some odd chance it happens, abortion is also not something we'd do.

All the best for this journey! x

Hi Ladies

Jaundre - Congrats on the pregnancy. I can imagine what shock it must be for you guys, but I hope you have a happy and healthy pregnancy. I have 15 month gap between my girls. It has been challenging but as the are both getting older it is getting easier.

Taylin will be 9 months tommorow. She is crawling the world full and trying to pull herself up against things. as small as she is she is such a little drama queen. She still doesnt have any teeth. On a good night she only wakes up once for her bottle. She isn't big on eating but will at least have 2 - 3 bites of what I'm giving her.

Zaylee is turning 2 on Friday. Cant believe my baby is already so big. We having a minnie mouse themed party for her. She is really looking forward to th e jumping castle.

Amanda - your pics are so cute.

Ladies your babies are adorable.

Chat later again.

Oh man ladies, your babies are so sweet.

Keira is 7 1/2 months old and is not only crawling but is pulling herself up to stand. Last night she was trying to walk holding on the couch. By 9 months she will be walking... Far too quickly for me.

So yes, as you ladies saw I am preggie again. DH and I are very shocked. I am not sure how I will manage with 4 babies, but termination for me is not on the cards. After having carried 3 babies I couldnt imagine having an abortion. But that is just how I feel, I would never judge someone who chose differently. (Please for those on my FB do not say anything just yet). I have given all of Keira's baby clothes away as we did not ever in our wildest dreams think we would have a 4th. So now I will have to start again. Maybe I will get my boy this time... the chinese calender says I will . My due date is 6th July, so my c-section will be a week after Mickey turns 3. Keira will be 15 months then... Total Madness I tell you.

Last week we thought Keira had foot n mouth (cocksaci), she had blisters on her feet and hands. Rushed her to the dr but it turned out to be a bacterial infection she has picked up from crawling, proberbly on the grass.
She also does not have any teeth yet, but is chewing on everything. She is still waking once a night for a bottle but I have decided that this weekend I am going to do some sleep training as I know how tired I am going to get as the pregnancy progresses.

Keep well ladies

Juandre I'm in shock! ha ha ha Congratulations! Maybe it be a healthy full term pregnancy!

We're all good. Vica is turning 1 year old this coming Friday - the time travelling baby.... her birthday would have been the 16th of January! She is 9 months corrected age, has no teeth and only tries to crawl on a bed, not on the laminated floors. And if you really go on she might move a bit on a carpet.... sigh.... Put her in a walking ring however and she is all over the place! Lazy! I'm going to give her a month or so then I'm going to take away the walking ring. Its just "safer" to put her in there with a toddler as an older brother hanging around..... ha! When she's on the floor he wants to sit on her or lie on her or pull her where he wants her to be. I have to watch them like a hawk.

I love seeing photos of everyone's babies.

Here are my two. Taken this morning - our morning tea outside



Dieter suffers from BAD eczema and he had to have blood drawn to test for allergies. It had to be drawn from his neck because his arms were scratched raw and they couldn't draw from his arms. So I was super stressing. The last time we drew blood from him, due to failed attempts they drew from his neck. HE was just over one year old and screamed and fought. Was horrible. This time I told them they were going to take blood from his neck. He didn't flinch, didn't moan just asked once for me and I stood right by his head and talked him through it. Was not even a minute and he didn't put up a fight at all. So relieved.

My brave boy afterwards:


Here's Vica after her brother got hold of her with bum cream...



And one taken this afternoon. She has no teeth, so I ate a mielie and gave her the cob to suck. She it!


Take care ladies x

Hi ladies!

Juandre - CONGRATULATIONS! I couldn't believe my ears, but am so glad for you, although I must admit I am glad it is not me

Your babies are all growing so nicely. And Zelf I love the pick of your DD in the swimmingpool!

AFM: Managed to loose about 18kg since 15 August. Still have 20kg to loose (my first pregnancy - 2010 weight). De Wet is doing well. Had baby measles a while ago, but am fine now. He is not crawling yet, but does a wormlike crawl movement when his on his back to move. He looooves pulling my hair. He eats anything and everything. Still drinking a bottle somewhere at night, but is no hassle at all.

Have a lovely day!
