July 2009 Moms

Hi you all!
I haven't read all the posts, so I'm not going to do personals!

We are doing great! We are spending the weekend in Heilbron - Leon is off to Naboom again... But are returning tommorrow evening - I will go back on Monday morning, because off the jhb traffic on a Sunday afternoon.... We are having a lovely weekend! I started with the duvet cover for Weiss... I trust that it will look stunning!!! My mom also made me some pregnancy tops, but I feel huge... I'm calling myself a "Oskar" - Still smaller than with Luwan, but I'm getting there!!

Hope you all have a fab weekend! Will come and chat on mOnday again!

Lonie I agree with you - the girls shoes for summer are not nice at all!!! Bekah doesnt like shoes where you have to put your toe through and 80%of the girls sandals at woolies are like that. Had to buy R180 walk mates as they were the only ones with back and straight in the front... I am going to look at shoe city to see what they have. Bekah is also a size 5 but i think she will move to a 6 in a few months...
Sooo glad the op went well and there are no marks. It is terrible the experience at the hospital - I agree with Nadia You should report that nurse!!!!!

Nadia I also buy all different sizes to see what fits. In woolies on wednesday I took bekahs pants off in the shop to try on the shorts to see if they fit cause you cant go on the age sizes
What did you do for Eid - did you eat lots of yummy food?

Marib shoo Migs has had a lot of Anaesthetic hey - I never thought of that. I am so glad it is getting better!!!
I remember when you used to post my pics for me on Pampers cause I was soooo technologically challenged

I will try take a pic this weekend but I think I am going to be HUGE this time!!!!
(Maybe I shouldnt eat the delicious woolies donought I had too often )

Deja.. i am sorry you are feeling so rotten hugs friend... hope these 2 months goes by super quick

Vision... you must have a great time with your mom! Agree with Marib, please post a tummy pic

Lonie...sorry to hear you had such a bad experience at the hospital. You should write a complaint... i know it won't really solve anything but they need to know what is happening. Lonie, I sometimes get nice shoes at woolies... L goes to a Saturday play group and the teacher there always says that we must be able to bend the shoes in half to test if it is comfortable

Marib... i also buy 2 -3 for L because of the length of the pants but he is thin so his smaller pants fit at the waist but just too short... the tops he can wear anything from 12- 18 months to 2-3 depending on the make... I notice that Ackermans, Naartjie and Keedo have bigger than normal sizing and then Woolies is sort of on par and the Zerbit range from Edgars fit L nicely at the waist but is quite long... He is only 11.7 kgs though and he wears a size 6 shoe now.

Hello everyone!

Nadia no we haven't got a date yet for the grommets. The ENT is trying to buy time before the next set of grommets..she's had anaesthetics 3 times in 16months which is way too much That pic of L is so cute!! He looks all grown-up

Sumaya creche hunting SUCKS so good luck!

Migs is doing ok without milk at night. She still cries a bit before going to sleep and still sometimes cry at night for milk. But not as hectic as before so we're getting there slowly but surely!

Sjoe can't believe L and Z still fits into 18-24 months clothes?? I bought 3-4 year old longsleeve tops at Woolies for Migs and it's WAY too small. Can't put a vest on underneath it!!

Shame Jana klink of jy maar suffer Hoop die tyd vlieg nou vir jou! Sjoe, kan my nie indink dat jy nog vir 2maande moet werk nie!

Vision please post a pic? I love seeing preggie tummies! I remember when you were pregnant with Kiara you were something like 20weeks and hardly showing haha

Lonie ek sukkel ook maar om skoene te kry vir Migs, al die skoene is so hard?? Daai nurse klink soos 'n totale KOEI!! Kan nie glo sy's so genadeloos nie? Gelukkig was die operasie darem 'n sukses.

haha, Lollos se liedjie (wikkel wikkel met Emo) speel nou op radio houtstok

Just lost my post.. now to start again!

Sumaya, so glad Zia is feeling better! Must say creche hunting is hard!
Nadia, such a cute pic, I have black belt in shopping for sure..Amber already stocked up for summer! And still 50% of her clothes from last year still fits.! Its just the shoes, she fits into a nr5 Shoe now, and jeepers, such crap out there..def not toddler friendly!

Marib, how is it going with the night feeds, and Migs ears..can you see a difference already?
Lizel & Skitter, When we seeing your updated tummy pics?

Marijke, how things going? Seems like you had such a super busy time the past few weeks.. How is B doing?
Deja, Stunning pics..you look fab..and Nienke is just super adorable..did you manage to find some ideas for your articles?
Cinds.. yes where are you? Please some updates on you and Jesse...!

As for us, Ambers operation went so well.. On the Monday already the people at the creche also wanted to see what her eye looked like, and there was not trace that she even had an operation..
They only probed the eye and didnt get any tube..so thankful for that, cause the Dr said thay if they have to take out the tubes its going anesthesia again..I will try and post a pic..no more puffy eyes and all looking so great!!
The whole hospital thing was very traumatic for me, worse than her grommets, thanks to crap hospital staff and poor planning..Nurse Hitler working there, made it clear we only allowed 1 chair per bed, although there was 4 in the room and 2 chairs in use.. I mean she actually came to chase my dad off the chair..!! Amber starting screaming after 2 hours waiting, only to hear Amber is scheduled second as the youngest has to go first (youngest being a 3 hour operation) Lucky for us the anesthetist came to see us at about 8, and saw the problem and arranged for us to go first since Amber would only be 15 minutes. After her operation and just waking up, more screaming, and they gave her to me..I was standing there waiting for better days and decided to go to the recovery room so long..as all the other people there was old, and Amber the only one with little pink shoes on her bed.. OMW, the nurse was soooo Angry and told us how we broke hospital procedure and I ask where is her pain meds (she was screaming the hospital on fire) and she just said that because I took her, I now have to wait.. I was so upset, eventually just cried with Amber.. after some time pain meds arrived and Amber fell asleep..
Apart from that, the operation self was well done!

Good Morning

Deja sorry you are feeling so overwhelmed - your life is really hectic at the moment. I hope these next 2 months fly for you!!!
I agree with you - the girls tops are soooo tight and the pants too big???? I have bought bekah 2-3 so hopefully they fit.
LOVE your pics!! Nienke is soooo beautiful!

Nadia L is sooo cute! I am glad you had a good Eid!!!

Sumaya yay so glad Zia is better!!!! What did the Dr. say - what was wrong? all the best with the creche hunting. are you looking in sandton or close to home?

marib yay on the new laptop. how is migs doing at night now with no bottle?

Lizel i thought it was gone and then it came back yesterday!! dont feel like a useless mom - you are amazing. they just go through stages.

Lonie how is Ambers eye?

Cinds we MISS you - where are you? How is Jesse?

My next appointment is on the 13th of september so still a week and a half to go. time is going so much quicker this time I think cause I am so busy with a toddler I dont notice.
I am already showing a little bit - at 12 weeks with Bekah I had a flat tummy and I ate more than I am eating now!!!!!!!!!
My mom is coming to JHB this weekend - so excited to see her. And my brothers wife should give birth in the next few weeks - so exciting!!!!!
