August/September 2011 mommies to be

oh yes Skai, you are the lucky one who stops working end june (if im not mistaken)

once you have figured it out, do post piccies. everything is all over the place with the girls room. talk about being disorganised, i mean the girls will be here in 6 weeks time.

we get either 3 month full pay or 4 months 75% pay. I have opted for 4 months 75 % plus my annual leave.that way I'll only be back in the office in January. cant wait.

later !!

Aw, sorry about your dog Lalie - hope she get better soon!

Ankia - breakfast in bed 2 days in a row - that's fantastic!

Hapi - selfish posts most welcome! I hate it when my posts get lost....and only ever seems to happen when it's a long post! Sorry I can't help you with the maternity leave dilemma...but obviously the longer you can work the better I'd imagine - then gives you more time with the baba's once they're here... How long do you get off?

Don't know if you all read Gerne's post about Annika? Just wanted to say she is in my thoughts.

Afm, we collected the cot on Saturday. It's a beautiful mahogany sleigh treehouse cot Now the problem is deciding on how to arrange all the furniture! The nursery isn't a very big room so it's a little difficult. Luckily I LOVE doing this sort of thing so in my element

Have a great day all!

Hi there

Laliek, sorry to hear about your 2 year old four legged baby girl. R1100 is a lot of money,if only they had medical aid for animals

How I wish I were you Laliek, i dont have the option of working at home as the bulk of my job requires that I be at the office.

I have have also noticed stretch marks on my belly about 4,so annoying as I have been applying bio-oil religiously since december. anyhoo, small price to pay I guess.

My back has been a tad better these days, problem is my swollen feet. none of my shoes fit. I wear boots with long pants and then I dont zip the boots...very interesting I tell you.

Girls,quick favour please (joburg & pta ladies)- as you are scouting the junkmails & gumtree's of this world please let me know if you come across a swing/bouncy chair. they seem to sell so quickly. brand new is very expensive.

Hi there girls

On my phone now so just quickly posting to say hi! How's everyone doing?

Ankia I admire you for keeping up the excercise,well done for you!

Hapi your more than welcome to post a selfish post . My last day at office is 15 July but then I'll work from home for a week. I am considering asking my boss to start working from home a week earlier as I'm really starting to suffer!

AFM: doing well but my back was killing me today again! I'm sitting here with hot water bottle on my back as we speak. Oh and I noticed two stretchmarks at bottom of my tummy!! Argh,I'm really popping out all of a sudden and this little man is getting heavier and heavier on my bladder each day.

Oh and to top it all off my 2year old four legged baby girl scottish terrier swallowed something and she's so ill now! We had to pay R1100 for x-rays etc tonight and now looks like she's going to be operated on tomorrow - flip money we do not have at this point with Cameron coming and building on our house! But what am I to do,she's like a baby to me So ja,been a blue Monday so far!

Hi Girls


:evil :

I just lost my long, very selfish post (maybe just as well)

Anyhoo,can I have an indication of when you ladies will be off to mat leave taking into account your edd.

my boss was asking when im going on mat leave, and to be honest i havent really thought about it but in my the last week at work is 22 july.

decisions, decisions !!

Good Morning

Well I spend most of my weekend in my pajamas, I did as little as possible and just enjoyed being lazy
Petrus kept W busy, and i was served breakfast in bed on Saturday & Sunday.

we got the cot ready and I washed the linen that I so have, I still have to iron it.
Otherwise I am back at gym today, just walking and I will take it easy, but I need to get back to some exercise

Have a great day

Hi Girls

Enjoy your weekend as well Laliek,time does go by quickly. Dont overdo it with the cooking and stuff this weekend !

Hi Skai & Ankies.
