Vix @ biiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiig hug enormous hug!! thinking of you friendie!

Lizelle hope you got some decent sleep last night!

Mandz @ hope the constipation is better! its awful when they puuuuusssh and nothing happens. Poor babe!

Everyone else @ hallo!!

I hope everyone had a lovely mothersday! Mine sucked.. but thats all i'm going to say. Wian loves his nanny.. I do too.. So happy with her, it was definitely the right choice. For those who didn't see on FB, Wian sits on his own.. so chuffed cause it helps to free my hands a bit when I'm home. Hubby says its cause he is such a chubby monkey, he can't fall over even if he wanted too.. he looks like a little buddha.. LOL

Hi Ladies, How are you all doing? How is your lo's?

Thashreya and Shrevash are fine. Took Shrevash for his 5th month vaccine. Shame my poor baby. I hate it when I see him scream and cry. Anyway its over now until his 9th month.

I am worried. One of the manangers here at work is suspended, due to losing a big account. Now the company seems to be abit in a financial problem. One of my collegues got told that they are terminating his contract at the end of June. I have a feeling that they might start retrenching some of us.

Maryke I have no problem discussing my beliefs, commanalities, differences, negative perceptions esp media related ones etc. I attended Christian schools from nursery to matric, one of the first songs I learned to sing was Jesus loves me, yes he does:) My poor parents were finished lol, both my younger sisters went to Muslim schools, so unlike me never sang the Lord's prayer, songs about Wicked King Herod etc:) anyhoo I'm off topic. Yeah despite that I had never heard the word salf. I'd heard of exorcisms, rosary, hold water, being blessed, and my born again/saved friends would speak of being prayed over. So this salf thing is a new concept for me:)

Vix we miss you:)

Binks, Lizelle, Yvette, Suriya, Twinbee, Gml, Miksmoomy heloo, and sweet dreamz ladies:)

Hi ladies

Arghhhhhh what a freaken day myself and Aiden went for a nice freaken round-a-about from jhb to pta and again pta to jhb only stop the freaken Engen for a wee back from pta I WAS SO ANNOID!
Aiden had to get his cast checked out today at 10 left jhb at 8:30 at 9:30 I was 10km away from the pta turn off bumper to bumper phoned the doc said I was going to be late, "no" no they say "don't worry" so we sit in traffic a freaken 1km from the hospital they phone me "no sorry you can't bring aiden today his boot is not ready will only be ready tomorrow" so I am like so what you telling me it will be a waste to see the doc today "yes sorry" had to turn around and come back home (she did say she will try organize some discount for the boot but that doesn't put my stress levels of driving in traffic back in to perspective.....I am scarred) So it's of to pta again tomorrow arrhhhhhgggggg I just want to sit in a corner and cry............

Did you ladies watch grey's last night I cried so much about everything again and where it all started I had to go back to the hospital my dad died in and walked down the corridor where he was pushed through I just cried people really looked at me weird

Mands I will pm you tomorrow as soon as I get a gap....

Vixie pixie missing you friend

Ster you have been to quite Inge ok you doing ok?

Suhaila that sucks I think I would have really been "dik bek" if my trip had to be cancelled... We where rewarded the tender he work so hard on it was actually an on going tender for the last 2 years that finally came to a discission two fridays back so he is very pleased with himself. You asked about the salfing yes in our culture do believe in it to pray out bad and evil spirits and so forth and we done it like I said a while back for the kids and our house hold to keep bad and evil doings out they call it in afrikaans "hande op te le" I am so glad you are open in discussing your and our culture and believes with me the previous company I worked there also worked a Muslim lady and I was very fond of her untill one day I asked a question and she became histerical and she said I insulted her I didn't think I did and since then our friendship went pearshaped.

We are going to Sun City going to go watch Roxette

Ok I am moeg now so chow chow chat later!

I'm ok Mandz, just a bit tired, cause i now have to express as well and so little time to sleep when she sleeps. Have to do cleaning in the house as well - but i'm a little addicted to this laptop the last to days - been chatting to my sister.

Suhaila that's the only soft soft teat she wants now, think it's because it flattens like my breast on her tongue and the side thing'ies fills the gaps on the side of her mouth. She only wants BM and it must be luke warm, tried Nan this morning but that's still a no-no.

Think i'm gonna close my eyes now for a while, cause she's been sleeping the last 40min since her bottle and will prob only wake an hour before next feeding wich is at 4. So she'll be awake from about 3. but i need to express 2:30. - That leave's me for an hour & 45min if i'm lucky.

chat again....

Oh no Mandz poor Jordyn, constipation is a nasty thing:(

@Lizelle that is one weird looking teat in that picture.

@MommyN is the kiddy calm salts helping with the sleep deprivation?

Woohoo Maryke enjoy the break. We are no longer leaving for Mauritius on Thursday, dh is too busy with the new housing project,m so his bro and sister in law are going without us:( Maryke our thread is pretty much live and let live so don't worry re sleep training:) I'm doing a modified version of Vix's, not to get Aaqil to sleep through, he does that, but to get him to sleep without being rocked!

Hello Everyone

Hope all of you had a wonderful Mother's Day- though mine was ruined I still felt special- Dyl got me a big bunch of flowers and a bunch of Roses from bubs, also a mug that says I am the best mummy in the world...So sweet Nice to feel so special.

Had Jordyn at the Paed yesterday because since I changed from Nan1 to Nan2 on Friday he has been constipated. Poor sausage was going blood red in the face yesterday and sopping wet with sweat and crying the way he was pushing. I didn't want to leave it and it got worse. She said that it is probably the changeover, so have to give him suppositories and Dulphalac for a few days. He has never had a problem before shame. After the suppository today he was a little better but still cried and wanted to be held.

Lizelle- How are you feeling?

Dassie- They say you should only introduce solids at around six months, milk still is their only form of proper nourishment. Starting earlier isn't the end of the world, but not really necessary. Also it didn't make Jordyn sleep through. I know our moms started us really early etc, but if your baby is developing well, there isn't really a need. I started Jordyn at 5 1/2 months, purely cos I was on leave and wanted to be able to do it. Did cereal once a day for two weeks, then twice a day. Then paed said replace one cereal with a veg and so forth until you do three meals a day.Not sure why to start with cereal, but can't imagine why it would be a bad thing to feed cereal? I did rice cereal.Let us know how it goes.

Maryke- I agree, there is no excuse and he really should pay for his mistake. When he went to court, they told him its postponed until October and the docket will probably get lost WTF! I feel sorry for him, we all make mistakes but this is not the first time he has driven drunk, so its been a long time coming! Now, I am interested in how you did your sleep training? It obviously worked Where are you going for mom's weekend off????
