Jan & Feb 2010 Mommies

Since i started there have been a few heart stopping moments!!! Its not without its stresses. DH is still nervous bout it, still panics a bit when he gags & tries to get the big pieces out his mouth. I let him do as he wishes even though my heart is thundering in my chest the whole time!!!! Iv learnt to trust him, to trust his body, its designed not to self destruct so it will do all thats possible to prevent him from choking. I must say he swallow the big pieces nicely
My nerves on the other hand are quiet frayed, no wonder I cant sleep.
But I have to say, after watching him eat a peach at lunch, Im more confident. he can actually feed himself.... WOW, no gagging at lunch nor supper, so He's getting the hang of everything.

Zodwa, I must say I admire your courage to feed your baby solid pieces of food, instead of puree. I guess I am old school that way

I am so down... Xadriaan has the flu and is very feverish. Dh just left to get some meds. Now Connor is complaining too Wish this winter was over already... I want my kids to be healthy again.

Thursday night is a big night f or Micayla. It is her first choir performance of the year . They will be performing along with Andriette of Idols fame.

Ruru is 5 months old today, Yay!!!
He's eating very nicely, dropped a feed yest. he normally has 6 bottles, yest he had 5.
Today he had peaches, which he loves, eats everything & leaves the skin. he had green beans, carrots & cauliflower for supper.
Im doing BLW & its going so well. He hardly spits his food out, swallows everything, throws it on the floor & bangs it against the tray but at least he's learning how to swallow food with texture
He sleeps straight thru the night, but I dnt seem to sleep.... insomnia. need to destress or drink chammomile tea before bed time

Shariefa Hope u ok. Give us an update on whether u preggies or not

Wel, yesterday I defrosted one ice cube of apple and pears, and mixed it with her cereal. She did not gril so much this time. And I am amazed in how much that one ice cube of fruit helped her tummy work. I also cooked, pureed and froze butternut. Jaqi loves it!Next up? Sweet potato.

HI GUYS,

Wow, seems like most baba's are really enjoying their foodies heh. Abi is on a little bit of cereal in the mornings and butternut at night. SHe loves it!

EP - I am sure that Jaqi will like it next time!

Enjoy your week everyone

Hello ladies,

How is everyone today? Muneeb is 5 months today. He is still onl eating porridge in the morning. He eats about 2-3 teaspoons(before adding milk) and loves it. Not sure when I'm going to start with the vegetables though.

Shariefa - did you take the test yet?

nixie - I'm sure you are so relieved hey.

Morning girls

Well, our weekend was nice. I worked on Saturday, most of the day. I had such awesome fun a baby's first birthday party My first session with her was when her mommy was still pregnant, then when she was 6 months old now again for her party. It is amazing seeing these little ones grow up!

Sunday I was not feeling well, so dh and the 3 older kids went to church while I stayed hoem with the younger ones. Then we just stayed home, cooked and relaxed. I feel so bad. I cooked and pureed aplles and pears for Jaqi in BULK so I can freeze it. Gave her some, and she DISLIKED it so much. I will wait a week before I try again. Shame, I really felt sad that she did not like it.
