Oct/Nov 2008 mommies!

Ladies, how long did it take from the time you went off the contraceptives to having your MC again? I've ditched the pill in March and still no sign. I've got no clue when its ovulation time, etc.

Hi ladies
Hope you are all doing well.
Not much news here, trying to get all the theory in my head. I’m writing at 2. It feels as if I still know nothing ... But in any hoo, it is so nice to be at home. I just had avo on toast and a lovely cup of English breakfast tea. I wish I could work from home!

Thank you for all the bday ideas. I’ve had the soup and sherry evening before and it was really nice, but with all the carnivores in my family I’m now also considering the curry or stew option. I also like the idea of Mexican food ... Ag ... do I really want a party? My family and friends are actually the ones excited about the idea of a party. They are so enthusiastic though, so I’m sure I’ll enjoy having one on the day itself.

Lovely pics, Nelria, you look so good! And Lea is just adorable, I’m so jealous of the hair. My poor child’s still got baby hair. And yay on packing the bags!

About snacks, Z loves grapes, pieces of apple, banana, cherry tomatoes, Melrose wedges, Otees, and then biscuits and other treats I won’t go into. We are a bunch of gluttons in this house. Veggies: she likes the packets with the small carrots, peas and corn.

Simone, scary about the niece. We recently did an article on bad body image and how you transfer it to your kids. They pick it up so fast, one mom told us she was always going on about her being fat and her new fad diets and one day she heard her four year old playing with her doll. The LG was telling her doll: We are both fat and we need to go on a diet, no food for us. Just goes to show how kids pick the things up that we talk about ...

Julz, I also love having Z in bed with us, but I always taker her to the cot as well. Difficult though.

Zamzie, good to hear from you! Hope you have a nice and healthy pregnancy.

Ouch, Mandy, hope the bruise dissapears soon ... and that Cam is doing better today as well.

Nicole, good luck with the presentation ...

Helen, so glad it went well and that little bean is doing good.

Simone, that is so sad about the little girl. I can only imagine the pain the parents must be going through. I’m sometimes so paranoid about Z as well at the daymother’s house ... Hope Cynthia won’t forget the key again!

LOL about Gerard. My DH eats less than me and he talks about going to a gym!

Julz shame re: friend...i dont even wanna know what a MC feels like! Cute re: cuddles.... I am very selfish..like to cuddle Gerard at night:-)

Julz i think she would be better cause then she cant see us..at one point she was using her pillow and hitting me from cot to get a reaction out of me or milk...who knows!.......but her dad is having none of it. She actually slept til AFTER 7 this morning...so not bad.

I actually wanna google today...surely somewhere in the world there must be kids sleeping in cots in parents room and sleeping through???

Guys i had to laugh last night. My sister says her bf is complaining about being fat after 2-3yrs with my sister. So Gerard says....ooh it took him so long to get FAT. Vannah and i looked at him and laughed....he weighs a whopping 72kgs...he fluctuates between 69 and 75...but hovers around 72kgs. When i met him he was weighing 59kgs....so i say he has put on 1kg for every year we have been together...now he looks like a normal person...flip he was a skiiny bean! But ya...according to him he is fat...lol. I can only wish to weigh 72kgs!

Morning (AGAIN) mommies!

Vix my cousin is very proud when she tells me her child is full after 2 spoons of chicken and half a mealie...at 3.5yrs old. I think its sad she has those ideals for a small child...and i actually said to her: Sies tog how can you be worrying about skinny now?

She drinks SIX boxes of juice a day though and tea, milk and juice bottles...heck i think she still sterilises bottles.

Vix...the LG is the baby and nanny that were attacked in JHB i think. The nanny let a worker in that used to work there...they were watching tv or something and then he attacked nanny and kid. Pistol whipped the baby....she is still in hospital. I think the nanny is out of hospital now...i battled to find info on her. Happened about 3 weeks back?

Nelria i agree....20 kisses....you can never be mad...no matter how tired;-) To sweet! I agree with Vix....looks like a first pregnancy...HUGE my a$$!

Nelria sucks being sick and u cant even take anything.....hope u feel better soon...and Lea.

Lisha hope u had a good night;-)

Angelique, Mandy, Nicole...hope the boys are well!

Lwasi...where are u????

Zee...GOOD LUCK AGAIN!! FX!!!!!

Zamzie...hope the MS is better...I think Vix said vit B helps her...check with her and maybe try it? Using any anti nausea meds?

HI ladies

Simone I am sure things would go better if Addy was in her own room? Just a thought.

Nelria wow congrats on 36 weeks! PACK THE BAGS!!!

Vix shame I feel so sorry for you. MS is the pits.

Good luck Nicole.

Dylan's nappy leaked last night. Luckily I checked him properly (I don't always feel his whole body) so I changed him at 10 and the cot but then he was awake and wouldn't go down. Popped him in our bed and he fell asleep quickly and I put him back in his cot. Oh how I loved him sleeping next to us. So tempted but no I also love cuddling Neil.

I have a dear friend (neil's actually) who we have not heard from in a while. She contacted N last night to say that they won't be joining us. She is 40 and is trying for no 2, but has had 3 mc and is now preggies again. She is so sad. I feel so bad for her. fx that this one sticks.

Ooh Nelria happy packing Shame I can't resist those kisses and smiles either lol

Morning mommies

Last night was a bit better than the night before. Shrey stirred a lot but no crying and he didn't fully wake up. I realised that he is cutting a molar and an eye tooth on his bottom gum at the moment so that is probably what's causing the disrupted sleep.

Helen so so thrilled that everything is looking good with the baby ... like you whatever it is it's what's meant to be

Vix hope the MS subsides soon.

Simone how are you feeling this morning? Shame hope the tough love works soon. Glad you enjoyed the stew.
