Oktober & November 2011 Mammas

Hi julle
Gister was een van my moeilikste dae ooit... Ek het regtig gedink as ek 'n brug kry, spring ek af! Ek voel verskriklik emosioneel en wil my dood huil as ek met Luwan geraas het. Hy word net al hoe stouter elke dag, ek is raadop.

Christi - ek het 'n paar skole ingedagte, maar aan die anderkant, se nou net hy voel meer weggegooi as hy in die skool is. Hy kan dalk net stouter word...So ek weet nie wat ek moet doen nie! Gedink ek gaan volgende week weer volstoom begin om die Practica stimulerings intensief te doen met hom, dan is ons terug in roetine. Dan sal ek dit monitor en kyk of die stout aanhou, want dit kan ook wees dat hy maatjies wil he!

Ek het Luwan gister by die dr gehad, want hy het homself verlede week stukkend geval onder sy neus en dit wil nie beter word nie! Daar is reeds ontsteking in die wond, maar dr het salf gegee om aantesmeer en die wond lyk reeds beter vandag...

Edrich het weer goed geslaap gister aand. Ons kan regtig nie kla nie! Hy is stroopsoet. Hy is ook nou meer wakker deur die dag!!

Ek het ook gister geswem.... Ouch!!! Vandag voel dit of ek nie kan loop nie, so seer is my lieste... Ek sal Maandag by dr hoor of dit normaal is, want dit voel baie erg, ek het dit nie met Luwan gehad nie!

NOu ja, laat ek gaan want ek is besig om 'n rooster uittewerk vir die goed wat ek met Luwan wn Edrich wil doen vanaf volgende week!!

Mooi dag vir julle almal!!

Ps: Ek voel vandag weer beter, maar dink het iets nodig om my geduld 'n boost te gee!!!

Tanz, as dit ek was het ek 'n ander dokter gaan soek.... Maar kom ons kyk of ons kan help, hoeveel het R geweeg by geboorte? Voed jy hom op 'n skedule? Drink jy genoeg vloeistof en het hy al Jungle Juice probeer? As jy wil kan jy jou nr vir my PM dan kan ons bietjie gesels.
Ek het baie aan jou familie gedink die laaste paar weke, my pa is oorlede op oujaar 2 jaar terug en die feestyd was net nie weer dieselfde gewees nie.... Hoop dit gaan OK met jou sussie...

Kota is 2 months today, we took him to the Pead on Tuesday, his length is on the 90th centile while his weight is on the 25th, but the pead says he is happy & healthy otherwise so no worries! He also said the reason Kota seems to have reflux is because my milk comes out too fast and then his tummy sort of balloons and we have to change his nappy before feeds, and then after feeds just let him be because any pressure on the tummy makes all the milk come up.

Elrike, het jy toe 'n skool gekry? En het jul ooit die bure in die hande gekry oor hul stoute kleintjie?

Chanz, hope your dad is doing ok?

Lindy & Deja, your pics are beautiful.!

Sorry little man calling for food, chat again...

Hi Ladies!!

Thank you so much for all the messages and support over the last few weeks!

So I took R for his 6 weeks checkup... Pead feels he isn't picking up weight like he has to. He weighed only 4kg. He says he looks "hungry" to him... But it was feeding time when he saw him. So he said that if he hasn't picked up at least 200g by today (a week later) I have to either have to ask for a pill to give me more milk (which I don't think I need) or "byvoeding"... I don't want that either!!!

So I weighed him this morning and he weighed just about 4.2kg...

Do you think I should be worried?

Elrike - sterkt met die skool hunting!

Chanz - how's your dad?

Have a great day all!

Hi julle,
Lindy is fotos is stunning!!

Tanz - ek dink so aan julle familie! DIt is seker die seerste seer wat mens kan he, maar ek bid en glo dat die seer makliker sal word. Sterkte daar!

Chanz - jammer oor jou pa - ek hoop hy word gou gesond!

Deja - Die inspuitings was met Edrich nie so erg, soos wat dit vir my was met Luwan nie! Ek kan nie sulke pyn hanteer nie, maar nou was dit ok! Edrich het ook gelukkig geen newe effekte gehad wat ek kon agterkom nie!! Die fotos wat jy gepost het is stunning! Sion is pragtig!

Ek het gister bietjie gaan shop vir skole - Ek moet Luwan in 'n kleuterskool kry, want ek kan nie genoeg aandag aan hom gee nie, en hy raak baie verveeld by die huis, want hier is ook net soveel om te doen. Maar aan die anderkant kan hy net stouter word, want dink sy stoutigheid is oor sy boetie wat baie aandag kry by ander mense. Ek is net bang as ek hom in 'n skool sit dat hy gaan weggegooi voel... Ek is moedeloos want ek weet nie wat is die regte ding om te doen nie?

Edrich word 'n regte potjie rol! Sy beentjies word nogal dik...Van sy 0-3 maande klere is te klein, so ons het begin om 3-6maande aan te trek...

Mag julle almal 'n wonderlike dag he!!

Hello Ladies

Hope you all had a wonderful weekend. How is everyone and their gorgeous babies?

Ai Tanz- ek kan net in dink hoe moelik Juan se begrafnis was vir jou en jou familie. Ek hoop regtig julle sal mekaar kan help en ondersteun om deur die "sad" tyd te kom.
So bly R se inspuitings het goed gegaan. Ek sien regitg nie uit na M se 16 weke inspuitings nie want die midwife se dis die ergste want hulle verstaan die pyn meer. Ek staan ook een kant terwyl M sy inspuitings kry.

Lindy- I love love love your pics. So cute and I really love the teacup one

Skitterling- glad you enjoyed the beach. Pity about M being camera shy shame. I am sure its just a phase she is going through.

AFU- we are doing well. Michael is really getting so cute. We seeing the paed today. So coz I seem to have porridge brain lately, I have written all the questions on a notepad so I dont forget LOL Michaels sleeping patterns are starting to improve.
My dad had a mild stroke on Friday/Saturday. He is still in high care. They did his MRI and CT scan this morning. SO I will phone now now to see what the story is. So annoyed coz everytime I phone they dont seem to give much info coz the sisters dont know much. So we are really hoping a better doctor will see him too. We just really hope its not too serious. My mom and dad have just reunited after being divorced for 3 yrs. So hope for their sake they have a little more time. Life is so short and we dont always realize how quick things can happen. It doesnt help that my dad has very very bad diabetes and hypertension. So please add him to your prayers

Hi everyone!

Hope you all had a lovely first week of 2012?

Elrike - wow dis 'n leka lang slaap!!

Lindy - it wasn't bad at all. The nurse is an angel! She said a prayer for him before she injected him. Sent me out of the room to "book our next appointment". And injected him while I was out. She said that if I was there, and he saw me, he would associate the pain with me and think I was hurting him. He just gave one short scream and it was over. I gave him some panado drops like Chanz suggested beforehand, and rubbed Zambuk on his legs afterwards. He had no side effects at all!

So today was little Juan's funeral! What a crappy day! Seeing a father carrying a coffin smaller than most shirts in my cupboard, and watching him close his son's grave all by himself, crying of agonizing pain each step of the way, was almost unbearable to watch! Seeing my little sister's heart break into pieces and falling into whole that he is closing up...torture!!

But at least its over now, and we can all begin to heal!

Have a great night all!
