Oct/Nov 2008 mommies!

Lisha... I think I've missed a post. Where are you flying and when? i think we must share ideas for the long flights. I think we will be flying with SAA and if it is with the same plane, there is no individual tv's.

aaaah frustrating.... reading all your posts today and have no access to Moomie to reply.... that is frustrating....

just had to tell you girls, eating a sweetie yesterday, and while chewing it, my teeth broke in 2. went to the dentist. and the sexy dentist remove my teeth... and I hate sexy dentists. I don't know where to look while he is looking in my mouth.

as for the meeting....
we are in joburg from saturday till tuesday. We will be visiting Monte Casino, Joburg zoo and Gold Reef City. As I don't know Joburg, I can't recommend a place, cause I don't know where you all lives. We have a GPS. So any place will be right with me. I don't want you girls to go out of your way, but I really want to meet you all. can't go to OZ and not met you.
So, which day will be perfect for you?
And Vix... you asked my a difficult question? The twins or C??? I can't say. Would really like to meet them all, but I know it is difficult for you. you choose girl....

and for TTC.... I was reading all your posts today, and it took me back a few years. When trying to get pregnant after Xander's birth. sjoe, it took me more than 3 years to fall pregnant. I did everything. drinking Clomid, did the deed on the correct time, etc. Every month the BIG wait and if I was 30 minutes (okey 1 day) overdue, I believed I was pregnant. All the symptoms was there every month. And then the BIG disappointment. I lived from month to month. every month the same. wanted to buy home pregnancy tests wholesale.
and well, then the time came when I was tired of trying. thought I will only have 1 child. started to make peace with that. thought of 101 reasons why I don't want another child. And voilla...... one month.... I found out I was pregnant.. and the rest is history
I know you hear it before and it might irritate you (as it did for me), but RELAX. Enjoy S E X with your hubby's and not doing it only to conceive. have romantic nights, try the date thing. concentrating more on hubby and less on conceiving. I know it is difficult, but try not to think about conceiving.

okey..... you all must have a lovely evening. Tomorrow will be my 10th anniversary!!!!!!

Ally, yay!!! Fabulous news! Wish I could be your tester

Hi ladies

Hope you are all doing well. Just a quick pop in to say I'm alive and well, just busy at work trying to finalise all the issues before we are off next week! I cannot wait - no traffic, no getting up at 4:30 am!!! Yay. I do have a huge assignment next week though but still, its going to be bliss to be at home.

Any hoo, I'm going for a scan tomorrow afternoon, will let you know how it goes.

Z is well, I told Simone today how cute she's now with her ridiculous questions eg: What's my shoes saying, what is my pillow doing, etc etc

DH has started with a new job so I'm seriously hoping he'll make some money there and that is a more stable and happy environment for him.

Vix, hope its just teething nappies, poor LB! Hope you can sort it out, I love Maizena for burnt bumbs as it takes the burn out and then something antifungal.

Lelani, hope you survive the visit!

Nicole, good luck with the photography exercise, K sounds so cute with Twinkle twinkle!

Helen, shame man, when it rains it pours, weird that the Augmentin isn't agreeing withher now, hope she feels better soon.

Simone, sad about the suicides and the spate of family murders this week! Terrible. If you want to shoot yourself just go ahead and do it but why hurt your innocent children!?


Mandy, sorry about the false reading, good luck with the rest of the journey though. Will be holding thumbs for a positive result for you and the rest of our TTC ladies.

Nelria, are you surviving the move?

Okay, got to go, will pop in tomorrow afternoon again. xxxxxx

Thanks for your input girls, I was also thinking about taking him to the paed but with no other symptoms what so ever I feel a bit stupid. I def think the sores are fungal, the medaspor is keeping it down but the moment I used something else the sores come right back and worse, now I'm thinking it's all very well fixing the sores but shouldn't I be treating the cause of it? He's not dehydrated, it isn't THAT much poop just about 4-6 runny poops a day. It's a bit watery but with little tiny lumps in looks like.......... Little sago balls sometimes. The poos are less sour smelling this week, last week they nearly made me vomit and I'm good with poop but it varies in colour from orangy to greey to blackish. Actually now I hear myself say bblackish I'm thinking I probably should take him to the paed. He's not dehydrated, I'm checking his skin regulally and it's still quick to pull back to shape, he's still drinking well. He's been on this milk for 3 months now so I can't really think it's suddenly a milk allergy? I was just telling simone, I don't really want to go changing his milk, firstly I don't like changing formulas but also it's gonna be hectic to keep track of 2 babies on 2 different formulas not to mention hell expensive. He has been gaining weight well on the lactogen and usually a milk allergy will cause the child to struggle gaining weight. He certainly doesn't have the signs of a milk allergy, the runny tummy only started 2 weeks ago before that he was passing solid stools. I actually thought the probiotic would help but it's not done much, well maybe it took away the sour smell. I don't mind the runny poop it's the way it's burning his bum, I?e never seen anything like it before cos C was always constipated so teething didn't affect his poos

well done girls....you've dragged me out of my hole....
Firstly why the hell does it go from...shame poor girl, what did ww do....too....oh it's lelani, lets kick her butt???? I feel so loved girls!!!!

Hi ladies

Geez the one day you ladies decide to chat up a storm, im missing out on all of it Will try and remeber

Helen so sorry to hear about Nina and her ears Im sure you looking forward to the ENT to finally sort out/find out the root of the problem and wow your little boy is a GENIUS !!!!! K also does really well with the wooden puzzles.

Vix i agree with the other ladies re: maybe being check - up time as that does sound long for a runny tummy. funny enough like Julz mentioned with not using any creams at all, when K had a terrible bum rash (little blisters, bleeding etc) i stopped using all creams completely and it actually worked the best - weird. I must be honest i love all your weird and wonderful talk lol

Julz glad Dylan is feeling better and i hope he gives you a better night tonight. xxx

Mandy im sorry to hear about the positive and then the negetive HPT, but you sound so positive (as always), and im sure any day soon you will receive you +, enjoy all the oooh la lal for now

Simone, you and Angie are also on my mind and sending you truck loads of babydust your ways!!!!

Ally wow 50 receipes - you brain must be going into overdrive lol, enjoy all the cooking and testing, im sure the receipes are divine!!!!

afm, all is well, K was a little more well behaved last night, although mommy is feeling guilty as i feel like i dont spend enough quality time with him, im always cleaning/cooking, mind is with work etc, i need to switch off, and realize that if the house isnt 100% tidy - well thats okay. Last night we sat and did puzzle's and read books and it was great, we also sat outside and looked at the stars & moon and he loved it, started singing twinkle little star to the sky

I have my photography lesson tonight - second last one and its only finishing close to 9 eeeeek!! Had to do a technical exercise and compile it in a portfolio, could have done better, but time is just not my friend these days.

mmmmmm hit a blank now......

I am going to have to work some days of the long holiday in order to keep up with the amount of work i have, just heard that DH is working both monday and wednesday (only half day) but still was hoping to have nice family time together.

Have a lovely eve ladies
