Jan/Feb 2011 Mommies (Nov & Dec 2010 early babes)

Congrats Chris!

Cant wait for a photo and your birth storie!

Take care!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi everyone!!!

Well done Chris!!! Congrats!!! I am sooooo proud of you! May your A-team bring you much happiness and joy! You have truly been blessed! Hope that you are doing well and that you are able to get some much needed rest in the next few days. You are amazing!

And Chan, I am so sorry this is late... A BIG CONGRATS ON YOUR BUNDLE OF JOY! Hope that Kade's levels for jaundice are much better today. Try keep anything yellow away from him, it makes the LO's look so bad. Good luck with the breastfeeding, I hope it all comes right real soon! You are doing amazing!

Suraya, CONGRATS TOO! How are you and baba?

Hi everyone else! We are still around, sorry I have been so quiet, its just so hectic. Hospital, home, Drs, and it all starts again...

Nathan-John is doing well, although a wee bit lazy (like boys like to be). His weight dropped today, and he is now weighing 1920g. A very good weight and he could come home on this weight... but... he is not drinking. He has one good breast feed a day and the second one is just a sleepy excuse for nothing. He is a bot more awake than last week, everyday is better. The feeding habit just needs to kick in. Soon we hope. Doesnt look like he will be home for Xmas, but its ok. I know he is well looked after where he is.

I just miss him so much. The nights are the hardest, it feels so unnatural not to have your baba with you! Until he was born I had never been away from Missy for more than an hour!!! Funny how different things are. But I've accepted and made peace with a lot of things, and we are just so grateful that all is ok, he was just a bit eager to be born in 2010!

The hospital and staff really have been great! Eventually you kind of feel like part of the staff. I spend so much time there. This week i actually nodded off in the chair! The hosital had a bad virus, so we were all moved to a temporary ICU and had extra precaustions, washing, sterilising etc etc but it all seems ok now, so we are moving back into the NICU today (I think). I've learnt to take each day as it comes and what happens happens! Even at home, it looks like a bomb has hit, but family is more important! DH and Mom have been amazing, they really are my pillars of strength right now!

So far, Nathan has only had expressed breastmilk - not easy to express all the time, but I know it is worth it! The Drs are very pro natural breastmilk. No bottle yet, still hoping he will take to the breast.

Vix, hope that you are settling down into a good routine now. You must be so busy! So cute what C has said about Mommy's babies and that he is Daddy's boy! He is a big boy now! Thinking of you everyday! Hope you are able to keep up with breastfeeding and that Jono takes to the boob better and that you dont need to go the bottle route! Just hang in there, I know you can do it!

Yvette, hope you have a stress-free week. Enjoy getting some things done. Good luck with your decision. You will know what is right for you and your baba! Did u do the castor oil last night?

Carmen, you still have some time for LO to turn, hope it all turns out right!

Maryke, shjoe, you are doing such a great job! Well done. As for MIL, how unreasonable can you get? Hope it all works out! Thinking of you!

Lizelle, Binks, Marie, Ster, Asp, thinking of you all! Try relax and take it easy ladies! Almost there!

Chris, once again, congrats our friend! Your babies are such good weights, wow!!! Cant wait to see pics! Take care of yourself and I hope you are feeling good soon! Speedy and good recovery!

Enjoy the busy week everyone! And if I dont get a chance to pop in before Friday, have a blessed, safe and happy Christmas!

Hi Gals

Chris can't wait to hear how everything is going so excited for you goodluck

Ster his sister is down syndrome she still lives with his mom and she gets sick so often and you don't really know she is that sick untill they actually admit her to hospital, but I still can't take chances with my two they are so small and there immune system isn't like ours yet so it's my job to make sure they stay healthy.

Vix how is Jono doing today, it's stressfull giving my two bottle so I don't want to know how stressed you must be feeling. I wish my lg was attached to her dad but she is so ma vas at the moment I have to bath her play with her and still sort out the brothers she mainly acts up in the evenings when she is tired, but she is going to go sleep by granny tonight they are going to go see the lights at emporers palace


Yvette I hope all goes well what ever way you choose to go like meags says either way you still gonna hold your baby in the end and she will be perfect

I woke up this morning at 6;15 my little gaatjies gave me a 4hr stretch I couldn't believe it, but after the 10 o clock bottle I saw they wanted to drink more they where so niggly after 10 I kept propping the dummies in there mouths,so I upped there feed to 90ml and at 2 they finished the whole bottle hence the 4hrs they weren't moaning and didn't have to get up and prop the dummie in I think my poor kids where starved he he....


My MIL hasn't pitched yet so I don't know if hubby said anything to her will see what happens this week

Ladies I am dreading the new year my mom told me my dad wants to see us all in the new year, his tumor markers have gone over 70 and that's not good so his dr said he needs to make some decisions in the new year I know there is nothing more they can do for him but only do chemo, but you can see he doesn't want to do the chemo anymore so we are wondering what he wants to tell us

Binks are you going to make it to the new year???

Lizelle how you feeling today, did you get your pants sorted that you got from mr price?

Carmen baby is growing nicely, glad all is going well

Chan hope Kade's comes down and you can take him of the lights
