Oct/Nov 2008 mommies!

Hi Ladies

Hope all of you are having a great day. Shew it's been hectic on this side. I think this morning everybody woke up and decided that today was the day they were going to switch to using cloth nappies. We have had such a lot of orders today for which I am eternally greatful but it's been keeping me on my toes.

"Vix, shame, hope C feels better soon and that you can rest some more … Thinking of you xxx I’ve been meaning to ask you, is he still on Lacson and how is his tummy now that he’s at crèche?"

I cut this portion out of simones post so i could tell you Vix that Lacson does work well but it just takes a whole lot of time. My Daugther really struggled for a little while with tummy issues after some major changes in her life and what we did was we gave her a Dulcolax child suppository to get things going (It was really really bad, like half in half out kind of thing when she went to the loo (TMI sorry) But the ducolax kinda kick started it and the lacson kept it maintained and made it easier for her. She was scared to go because it was so sore but the lacson really helped" Ok, enough about Poo now.

Nelria, My LB was on NIDO but I took him off of it because he seemed to be addicted to the sugar and would just demand bottle after bottle, it is very high in sugar and seems addictave so I took him off of it. I am going to give the First Growth milk a try. One of the Other Moomie Moms also told me to try that. going shopping tonight. I have half a tin of Lactogen 3 left and don't really want to buy more.

@ Helen, how is Oliver doing today? Shame poor buddy!

Gotta get my Boy potty trained sometime but think I will leave him be for the Winter, I'll keep on with the nappies, atleast the transition between nappy and pants shouldn't be too bad for me as I am quite used to having my elbows in it as a normal

Simone, I hope you have a smack up time when your DH returns and that Addison gets back in to her usual routine and behaviour. I know what it's like, my kids always go way off track when Dad goes away.
@ All the other ladies, I don't know all your stories but nonetheless you are in my thoughts.

Morning ladies

Flipping fighting with Standard bank for our business. They are the pits I tell you. Never had issues with FNB!!

Yoza I am so sorry that buhle is sick. 38.5 isn't such a bad fever so it may just be a virus. I recon you may want to take her to the paed or she will be on too many antibiotics??? RSV is doing the rounds so if her chest is still tight see a paed. The gp misdiagnosed Dylan when he had RSV!

Nicole glad you are enjoying your photography class. I would be a bit miffed if it turned into a chat about spirituality to be honest.

Zee it might be a good idea to give the studies a miss. It is to much to deal with! Glad you got a place for Ziani!

Nelria Clumsy is a boerboel x. Not sure what he is apart form boerboel and not sure how big he will be!

Hi ladies

Zee: Oh congrats on your lil proncess. Im sure she will enjoy her new friends I find that at creche they really make an effort to welcome the new kids including the kiddies themselves.

Hi Jess how is the new man in your life treating you.

Simone: Lol at addison she reall can be funny.

Nelria: yay on the house, enk=joy it.

The studies are fine just hectuc thats all. I need to hit the books now I have a presentaion due next week. Its just difficult to juggle things.

I must say it never endsbuhle is sick again and is on antibiotics ain. Its an ear infection, tonsils and a very tight chest she coughs and throws up. I came back home last night and her eyes were red. Unlike of piwe not to see the change. I took her to my gp. these days i dont have money for the pead but she is due for her check up and immunisations she has been so sick thats why i cant take her. Her temperature was 38.5. Im sure its those damn molars that are giving her problems.

morning girls

simone - is addy calling u simone? all the time now?

nicole - sounds like u dig pic classes would love to do some myself one day

helen i agree antibiotics and 2nd opinion 1st - could be sooooooo many things to just root canal

zee - well done on dropping this year I did the whole preggy study thing and paid dearly for it with failing and stressing sooooooooo not worth it believe me sleep exhaustion and new born is even beter than preggy brain and books

yoza - lol at your little eater girl - xen also devours everything in site at school

jess - glad u popping in more no idea re catch up

juls - what brand is your puppy (breed lol)

ladies - BIG NEWS moving monday the 18th Whoooooooooohoooooooooooo and get this dont have to pay occupational rent either just a super nice seller so painting kids rooms on the 16th then all in monday

2km - no not wrong to eat whole pck except that its not me eating it grrrrrrrrr

2km - re milk - u say he doesnt crink cows milk? - have u tried giving him 1st growth long life milk? it has vanilla flavour and is close to taste in formula - if he does drink this then 1st get him hooked then slowly start diluting it in small ratio's with cow milk eventuallly balancing out to only cows milk - this way the taste buds except the blander taste of cow milk (remeber formula very sweet so reckon he likes the taste

also nido is sweet? and cheaper than formula (only use 3 scoops)

also if u tried both those already - u can also attempt the same with formula/cow milk by starting to dilute formula and slowly increasing the ratio?

afm - hitting books now xxxx

Hi ladies

ag Simone, Addy sounds so sweet Congrats on the weightloss, im sure you must be super proud of yourself

Zee, glad Z is feeling better. K is also still on the nappy for bedtime.

Vix how is C feeling this morning?

Julz any more funny stories with your new pup?

afm, photography class went well last night, did more learning about photography than spirtuality ( the teacher looooves talking about spirituality etc, last week she spent 2 hours talking about it and only an hour on actual photography). K was well behaved for daddy and fall asleep in the car on the way home.

Morning ladies

Zee I'm so glad Ziani is beTter:-) how is MS? I'm sure she'll be fine once she gets used to creche.

Its cold and rainy in PE today:-( wish I could stay home. But good day...3 more sleeps! I am almost back to my lowest weight from December...500gms to go!!!!!!! And Addison was an absolute angel last night, slept well in her own bed. Crawled in with me around 5am...so not bad. Only thing is I've been demoted to 'Simone'.lol

She was poo'ing last night and I was pretending to march towards her. She goes: you're marching nicely Simone. Good job! *starts clapping*...lol. I burst out laughing.

She also told Kaylin yesterday: you're clever Kaylin! (She was playing a game against my brother). She really makes us laugh!

Vix how is C today?

Hi ladies
Thanks for all the messages. Z is doing better and she got a place in the crèche. She’s starting in the first week of May! Don’t know how it’s going to go, she is terribly shy these days ...

Jess, nice to hear from you again! How is Riley sleeping?

Helen, argggh, I can just imagine how bad you feel about all of this. Can’t offer any advice though, just send you a huge virtual hug! Hope there’s no need for Oliver to have anesthetic .

Vix, shame, hope C feels better soon and that you can rest some more … Thinking of you xxx I’ve been meaning to ask you, is he still on Lacson and how is his tummy now that he’s at crèche?

Re the potty training, Z is in her panties in the day but when she goes to bed it’s nappy time, she does have regular oopsies though.

Yoza, how’s the studies going? I’m not coping at all and I’m just going to let this year slide. I’m not doing my assignments at all and I just don’t feel up to it anymore.

Simone, hope Addy’s behavior will return to normal once Dad is home. Good luck …

Ally, good luck with all the admin!

Thanks for the nappy tip, Nelria, will have a look at the new brand.

Hope you all have a great day! Need to get going here.
