Jan & Feb 2010 Mommies

Shit Rhodine. im thinking of you girl.

Angel - I have to get back to everyone - as everbody is important. I either replyt on everythign or nothing. just the way I am. Yes we have to arrange something. this weekend is a bit crazy, maybe next weekend?

Rhodine - You dont need bith Nido and S26 they both technically the same. Use only one. Yes you can bath him befoer bath time. Remember the hot water and soothing tends to make then tired after the bath and then they not that open to eating solids. Most night my kids eat then bath. YOU ARE NOT DUMB. this is how we learn. Oros can be the cause of the cough, cut down see if it goes away if not then its not that.

Zodwa - So glad to hear baby is doing better.

Juanita - the dishinf food out thing out food thing the night before is awesome, I do it every night then Lorelai gets to eat as soon as we get home. Ek baklei ook nie Chris. Ek hou nie van Koeldrank vir die kinders nie (hannes gee dit vir hulle en ek wil flip) hulle drink af gewaterde sap 24/7. oor n naweek is ek okay met n bietjie oros of so maar nie in die week nie. Dink dis ook omdat ons baie allergies is. But like you said, each to his own. We do what works for us.

Court was KAK. Sorry for the lang. They totally F you around, but the process has started so now we wait till we get a court date.

Christelle - So happy to see you finally started the blog!!!! When we go to the shop amandalynn first goes to the wine section and very loadly graps my box of wine and screams at the top of her lungs. "Mamma 1 of 2 bokse, hoeveel gaan jy drink" (Each time I feel like dying!!!!)

Rhodine - I would freeak out completly, but you handled the situation very well. You get a mommy badge and a page ago you called yourself dumb, a dumb mommy would not know how to handle it. SO you brilliant. Yes teething can cause coughs. Ear, nose and throat are connected. Vomitting not so much, but it can when he has a really bad nasil drip and it makes him "naar". How is he doing now?

Juno - yes im sorry abou tthe long post. Have to make time in the day to get online and then I have to get it out all at once. lol

I'm still sad about the cat, but it is getting better.

Lorelai is sick at the mo, but I believe it teething she has 4 molars now. They grow up to quickly!!!!

Juanita - glad to hear Leandi is doing better.

sorry to hear you are feeling miserable Rhodine, and im sooo sorry to hear that you are being retrenched, again. That is very very KAK!!!
You did such a brave thing shaving your hair off, and it was for a good cause, and im sure it does look good.
think because you have a history of depression if you arent on medication you need to go see your dr and get a prescription, as this is a tough thing to go through, and anyone is likely get depressed.
Once your mood is up, you will feel better about yourself, and f@#$ the 14kg, they will fall off by themselves when things start to look up a bit. You have a wonderfull bf (from what ive heard and how he is with Shaun) and you have a gorgeous baby boy. You have such a beautiful reason for living!!! Get the treatment girl, and i promise you, you will be able to see the light at the end of the tunnel.

Good luck, and remember, this venting 101, nobody cares if that is all you ever do, go ahead vent all you like. we will listen, support, and if you want, we will try and help.

Ps; what retrenchment package are they offering you?

Would any1 mind if I throw a serious venting post right now... I have tried going to the ladies to scream but too much activity there, Cannot clese my office door.... I am freaking out totally right now, and having been a depression sufferer for 6 years now... welll......

I am being retrenched... alst year this time I was retrenched too, same company then they called me back... Now being retrenched again... I have gained like 14 kg in the past two months and at this moment I flippen hate myself. I went to shave my hair off for the shavathon last friday, and people tells me it looks good, but ya.. imagen this short me, fat .. with chopped off hair.... Now I need to start going for interviews and my bf is forcing me to act on everything right now... geezzzzz... I feel so uncomfortable with who i am, what I look like and feeling unworthy due to an employer.. and I do not have an ounce of self confidence in me at the mo. I am not even going to mention the fact that I do not want to excercise (everyone says this is what I must do) but have any of you got to the point where you have just flippen had it... As tho I do not want to....

Argggghhhh

Morning everyone,

So just a update. Leandi ate all her meals yesterday And she didnt poop once, and then we got home. Runny tummy started and i gave her something just to bind it and not let it turn into watery stools (TMI) had another sour nappy before i took her to dm this am, so im praying it will get better with every day. Also keeping her away from the dairy just incase. Luckily she is on Soy formula, so that helps.

I can see it her gums are very swollen, but it doenst seem to be close to the surface. Last time she cut a tooth was in November!!

Juno, glad Liam is better!!

These posts are intimidatingly long =)

@ Juanita Liam’s bout lasted nearly 4 days but he has also settled down. I see that the molars have broken through. Shame poor little things experiencing all that pain..

@ Rhodine sorry to hear about your lo . I’d be interested to hear whether this is only due to teething or whether it’s something else. The extent of the coughing and vomiting is odd for teething I would have thought. I have nothing much to add to everybody’s comments about the food. All spot on. My philosophy is all in moderation. I’ve reached a point now where I do my thing and only take in from other sources what I feel is relevant to me.

@Zodwa glad to see Ruru’s back to normal. Same with Liam. Still drinking a huge amount of milk though – nearly 400ml tonight! Also forgot to say previously that I'm sure it's just a phase your hubby is going through - he's got to want that little girl =)

@ Charl busy lady. I once had to give my German Shepherd away to the police and it was just awful when they drove away – I know the feeling. How was court?

@ Angel how’s your little one? Those molars out yet?

SH!T Rhodine, i woulve k@ked myself!!!! Im just glad he is alright. Something is seriously bothering your little man.

I know the teeth are all connected to ears, throat, nose. thats why teething can be the cause of a runny nose, or a scratchy throat, so yes a cough could be teething. but im not sure about the vomiting. Maybe if he still has a fever in a day or two and doesnt seem better take him to the pead to make sure???

Good luck, hope he sleeps better tonight!!!
