Oct/Nov 2008 mommies!

Morning ladies

Simone how are you feeling this morning? As I said yesterday, this virtual shoulder is here whenever you need it xxxx

Vix this time round if you feel the PND go straight for the eglonyl ... milk supply is awesome on it to. Also Blackthorn Berry Elixir mixed into your juice or tea works wonders.

Zee lol @ Tellytubbies being scary ... Shrey also enjoys these weird creatures but I'm still not too fond ... Shrey keeps going 'uh oh' these days ...

Ally glad the bean soup turned out nice ...

Helen sorry about the horrible MS coming back. Hope u feel better soon.

Nothing much to report from our side. Shrey slept okay. I am starting to make an effort to prepare stuff for lunch the night before cos these after effects of the fast foods are horrible ...

Morning mommies,

Simone- so sorry to hear your news but at Zee says, maybe it's an oppan opportunity. To get something be better and further your career. Maybe it's a push to get you to actually get out there and and show people what you've got!

PFairy- definately get yourself checked out, such fatigue cannot be nice.

Julz- I also thought it could be the yolk sac but when I checked C's at 7w2d there was no blob at all. It's still quite a big yolk sac for 7w3d. And behind the baby too because she is facing left.

I was so relieved when the other blob didn't have a heartbeat bececause I really want to conquer the PND and BF this time and twins would throw that out the window.

Zee- ooo that teletubbies sounds a bit scary for babies LOL

Helen- the not knowing when would kill me too. Sorry your MS is coming back, I rember last lime I got to 12w and thought it was over then just had 1 bad week at 13w

Love the idea, Ally. Totally different and its going to look amazing! The cake is GORGEOUS.

Vix, so glad the visit went well! So happy for you! The pic is too precious Hope the cream works for the rash. Prep cream is also great for a rash; it was the only thing that worked when I had that awful rash when pregnant. Oh, and a Bicarbonate of soda bath also helps.

Nelria, I’m always thinking of one dish recipes since I just cannot cook elaborate dinners with Z attached to my hip. She’s got a #$#$ load of toys, but she won’t play with it unless I play with her. Same goes with watching the telly, etc.

Zamzie, sorry that you are not feeling well! Hope the nausea subsides soon.

Ange, I’m with you, so proud of the Stormers, it was not always easy to be their supporter through the years but finally we’ve got some reason to celebrate! I called my brother in Houtbay after the game and he was closed to tears LOL
And you should see Z when rugby is on, she yells “Tom, tom” which is “Kom, kom!”

K sounds so cute, Nicole!

Pfairy,, good idea to test your iron levels …

Hope you feel better today, Helen!

Simone, so sorry about the retrenchment. Hope this just open a huge door for you and that you will find a terrific job where you will be extremely happy! Thinking of you.

On a lighter note, what was up with the scary Teletubbies last night? They had a lion who constantly said he was a scary lion and made weird and scary noises!! Shame, Z was concerned.

Simone, I'm so sorry to hear that! I will keep you in my prayers!

Pfairy, Wow, can I please have some of your self-restraint and willpower?

The bean soup was actually REALLY delish. surprisingly. I made it like normal soup with bacon and chorizo and then fried the veg. Then added chicken stock and spices (with loads of chilli) and then added the beans and some soup powder. Allowed it to thicken slightly and then served it. It was like minestrone almost. Really delish!

o no, simone. I'm thinking of you!!!!.. strongs girl.

Helen, Hope you will be feeling better soon.....

Vix I'm glad all is well with bump. My first scan also had 2 blobs....my gynae joked about twins will 12w scan...But I think Julz is right.

helen sorry about transfer...hope it comes thru soon.

Nicole good luck with sleep training! I found it easier when they understand more...so tell him to dudu...he'll get milk in the morning. What I did with Addy. Cute re: bread crumbs. I love when Addy asks 'whats this'...so indicative of their enquiring minds.

Nicole your party ideas sound lovely...cant believe u booked already!lol. Ally your ideas also sound fun!

Addison is annie obsessed! I've created a monster....she can even sing parts of the songs. So amazed...she knows 35 animals now...tortoise is her latest one. need to get her off annie so we can spend more time with books again. These days she just wants annie...annie on!

Lisha hope shreyan goes back to good sleeping.

Lisha and Angelique....u guys are rugby (??) fans? Crazy ladies! I'm so not into sports....except cricket occasionally.

Zee I love your ideas! u gotta have tubby custard! Lol.Addison goes mad when they make tubby custard....she screams 'custard custard' at the tv and bounces up and down to the noise the machine makes.

I've read everything....just so tired and can't reply to everything. News flash I guess....seems I am being retrenched. I've been crying all day....even the director that gave me the news cried in my office with me.....please keep my family and I in your prayers and that I make the right decision. I feel so many emotions....Lisha again...thanks for your support today....

Evening ladies,

Hope you are all well.

Vix - Congrats on the little cashew nut lol, I was going to say the same as Julz, its the yolk sac you can see So glad all is well, hope the MS stays at bay.

Nelria - You are allowed a 'meltdown' my friend. Crying releases tension and is no bad thing and your hormones are bound to be all over the place now, not long til D-Day Your bump looks lovely Lea may be clingy, she probably senses something is coming, enjoy your time with her but don't stress out if you need a break

Lisha - Glad you had a nice weekend away.

Nicole - K sounds too cute with the kitchen towel lol! Its amazing, these kids only have to see something once to understand, clever boy

Ally - Love the idea for the birthday, you are super organised lol. You should be an events planner As for bean soup...I'm with Lisha, not too sure about that one lol.

Zamzie - You will start to feel better soon and its all worth it

eeeeeerrrmm, ok I'm hitting a blank now...

I'm feeling very rough around the edges today, the MS has come back in waves today and I'm still all runny nose I don't think I'm mentally stressing about the house but I think the stress might be coming out physically, hence the runny nose, tiredness etc. I just wish we had an answer as to whether its going to happen this week or not, then I'll know if we're just shifting our stuff in to storage for a few days at the weekend or if we're moving in...grrrrr, so annoying! Oh, and Mandy thanks for thinking of me but we should be fine, if Transfer hasn't happened our stuff is going in to a friend's garage and we're staying with some other friends. If Transfer hasn't happened this week then it should be middle of next week latest so its only a matter of days that we'll be homeless (in theory, fingers crossed lol)

Sorry for everyone I've forgotten, hope you all have a good evening.
