Jan & Feb 2010 Mommies

Im also only starting this weekend with solids Yoza. LB has ezcema, but its under control, so introducing it very slowly and will be on the look out for any reactions.

Taking him to pead tomorrow for check-up. and then for his upperlip for lazer. his got a strawberry birthmark. this will be the 3rd and final treatment for now. if it doesnt going away by the time he is two, then they will do it under sedation. please just hold thumbs that he will be asleep, otherwise it going to be difficult.

Does any of your babies got teeth already? jordan got one at the bottom. appeared last week friday!

Ps. thanks for all the half year wishes.

NO SURE IS I WANT TO POST THIS. a lot of people hate me for it...

My mother is a dietician... stoped about 5 years ago, so while i was growing up she tought us healthy tips for our boddies ( i am exact weight as before baby). O k so lets be honest nobody wants to diet... everybody knows there is no diet that works for ever, excercise must be done but where to get the time???


So the advice my mother gave us was every wrong (choclate cookie) you put in to your body you need to put in 2 good things, water excercise .

so only advice i can give is to try and avoid sweets and gas cooldrink. Rather try oros or fruit juice. Limit to one cup of coffee a day.
did you know one block of sugar will slow your metabolism with 3 days??? did you know one meat pie has over 12 000 kilojules enough to feed your body for 3-4 days...did you know when eating healthy you must eat carbs??? please never exclude this from your diet as it fuels the body to work and burn fats.... please cut off on sauces (very fatning)

Please do eat more salad containing lettuce (brakes of fat) raw onion (brakes off fat) o and pine apple (brakes of fat) drink water but not more than 2 liters as it can be bad for you. basically sugar is the devil and you dont have to stop eating sweet stuff all togehther just cut down.... did yu know walking fast (brisk walk) burns more fat than running ... so if you take baby if the pram just walk a bit faster (summer is comming)


and please remember the body first looses water and then start burning fat so we only need to stick it through for a few weeks then the results will be there

leintje: agree 10ks seems to be the magic number. Im workng on loosing 10ks.

Happy 6mts to Jordaan.

EP: Soory to hear about your uncle and will keep you in my prayers for your moms anniversary. I know how painfull and difficult it is.

Am i the only one who has not started LO on solids. I wanna start this weekend. hopefully the lil madam will enjoy her first bowl of reall food.

I had morning sickness for the first 4 months, I lost weight during that time. Then I made up for it afterwards. I was 80kgs on the day I gave birth, was at 72kgs a month after giving birth, and then gained again.

I intend to ask gynae for a tummy tuck if and when I have another LO.

Seems to me that 10kg's is the "Magic number" around here...

I have to confess that my extra weight isn't due to the pregnancy. I actually weigh 5kg's less now than I did before I got pregnant.

@Bluebird... the tummy tuck is an excellent idea! lol

Yes, no cereal for now. Most of my (and my mom's) digestive problems is because of grains/wheat/gluten. Will start to give her rice probably at about 7months and then bread and pasta at 8months.

Thx Shariefa.

@ Lientjie i dont mind at all.

I only BF at night so I have to fast. But last year i could not fast when i was pregnant.

@ EP i also want to loose 10kgs

Half a candle and half of a cake is what we will be having on the 10th lol.

I think what they must do, is to ask you whether you want a tummy tuck whilst having the c-section. lol. dont know what the natural birth mothers options will be.

KKRose, also think it is a big milestone. Men just dont emotionally connect. LOL

Shariefa thats a great idea of your daughter, maybe you must do it. Then she will feel special cos it was her idea.

Lientje to be clear on the food thing. Are you only going to give LG fruit and veg. No pappies?
