Oct/Nov 2008 mommies!

Morning ladies

Mandy sorry about the dip in temp. Rather wait till af though before you decide it is a bust cycle. You sometimes get a dip when implantation takes place. If it is a bust cycle then please keep an eye on the lenght of days between ovulation and full AF becuase 11 days may be a tad too short. Ideally it should be about 12-14 days every month.

Simone how are you holding up. It must have been nice to chat to G. x

Nelria sorry that everyone is sick. I never realised what having more than 1 kid could mean. Sounds really hectic.

Vix how are you today???

Christi sorry about the MS. I also felt better without the vits and on Asic. Not hugely better but I noticed a marked difference. Sadly I only realised it was the vits and got asic at 9 weeks.

As for my health, I am waiting for some test results. Some basic, some just matter of ruleing things out, but I have picked up way too much weight so can't be too unhealthy hey.

Hi ladies

Nelria sorry to hear Xen is sick. Men drive me flipping crazy when they are sick, you swear the world was coming to a end!!! wrt y , iour question, if i had to have another i would like a girl so i could have one of each, but if i had a boy it wouldnt bother me in the least as i do think im a better mom to a boy, i also like the rought and tough, dirty mud games

Thanks for the tip Nelria, i currently have Keiran on 5 ml creche guard in the morning and 5ml Zinplex in the evening but i think i must get some iron or something because he doesnt even touch spinich.

Christi sorry to hear about the bad ms.

Simone how is everything going?

Lisha hope all is well on your side?

afm, all is well, K was so freaking cute last night and this morning. I said "love you boy" and he said "love you more mom" flip my heart melted.

Simone, shame man, please keep us updated about your mom?? Sorry you are supporting our mom while your support it away! but maybe it will keep your mnd busy and so that G comes home in NO TIME! How is G's trip?
Addy is just feeling your stress !! she will relax in time, just like you will! Thinking of you guys!

Christi - not to worry about saturday!! I will wait for our meet. Name the date and I will try to get us there! We should ALL see your house together! Sorry about your MS.. darn vitamins..

Julz - how are you and how is your health? you have been such a busy lady I wonder if you are ever remembering to TAKE IT EASY!

Vix - bit worried about you, humans do need sleep,and i know you are just getting on with it, but I really hope some rest comes to you soon!

Ally - our famous gal!! Hope your muscle pain gets better! its called sitting still!

Nelria - I couldnt handle a 3rd kid.. NO WAY! I would also prefer boys but Im hoping that second time around.. a girl would be nice, I think you just want to know what its like ..

Im also thinking about the flu injection.. not sure yet though..

Julz and Simone - looks like my temps are dropping 11 DPO but not too upset I didnt really think i would be preggie month one and then kinda realised that I would HATE a december baby.. However I am quite happy that i seemed to ovulate on day 15 acording to my temps as it gives me a date to aim for next month! May the fun begin!! Thats why i like temps, as the wait is over for AF, they will come and no money spent on tests as my mind is sure..

Lisha, Nicole, Yoza hellooooooooo
okay gals have a godo day now!

Hi Ladies,

Sorry for being so scarse...

MS its awful and I definately think its been sparked by me starting to take vitamins last Monday, so since Thursday I stopped taking them and today I felt quite good again . I'm also taking Asic religiously!

Helen, so sorry to hear about Theo's gran, but as you said, she is definately in a better place now. HUGS

Mandy, Vix can't make it for the 2nd any more (and most of the other ladies cant either) so if you want we can move it to the 9th?
Otherwise you are more than welcome to come over on Sat afternoon. I should be home by one so shall we make it 2? Sorry I don't know how your babies sleep routine goes, and we never followed a strict sleep routine with Iris so I just usually do what I want and she sleeps when she want LOL

Vix, honey, don't worry that you cant make it on the 2nd, but you are still welcome to stop over on the 9th. Even if you just say hello and feed/change the babies

Simone, strongs & HUGS!!! My DH might have to go to Durban for a day or 2 withing the next few weeks and I already dread it!

Ok, I've been dead tired the past few days and I think this has been the latest that I've been awake in a weeks time...

Night ladies....!

hello ladies

helen omw so sad girl and so great re theo wow is all i can say

simone shoeeeeeee girl not great news for u either man i will keep u in my thoughts

yoza mine is opposite lea is clingy and demanding xen easy going maybe a girl thing kowing how to manipulate so easy in life

vix i am in i will fb nats and lizzy(another mum u didnt meet) to check whose house

date night as u all know we live with folks (only 5 more weeks whoooooooo hooooooooo) so we get plenty whenever we want so not big deal LOL

juls pics of doggie? boerboel mix?

afm xen has middleear infection so back on antibiotics he was so sad and fussy today i just knew all wasnt right so took to paed

over the wknd me and brett had full blown colds man we were soooooooooo sick anyhoe on sat brett lies on couch and says all he is doing today so good wife i am i take kiddies off to shops (disaster left wallet in car, no stock etc) come back super tired and irritated and he doesnt offer to relieve me in afternoon so i still do both (he helps by atleast being present) then by 4 i go ok i need to go get more meds i will leave both and he looks at me in disgust going no we can all go as he cant have both so i say oh but I can and he says yes but thats u anyhoe decided not worth fight but men are super useless when it comes to multitasking LOL

ok so who is getting/not getting flu vac? we are all 4 getting it simply because we can LOL look i know people say u cant cure flu blah blah blah but to me any illness i can prevent i try as the bills are just not worth it any thoughts?

also for interest sake those of u with one of each kid IF u could have third what would u choose? also those with one would u like same sex or opposite and why? just nonsense topic for fun as i have one of each I wuld if i could choose my third a boy purely because of xen being so easy and because i see myself as boy mummy and love all the dirt, grime, roughness etc and as a adult i think boys dote on their mums more than girls

nicole also iron as supplement for k iron solves lots of problems including sleeplessness and boys need more iron than girls or adults and they not easily found in food unless k eats shitloads of spinach but any growing boy needs extra i buy a big bottle of herbal one safe for pregnant ladies etc then just give 1ml instead of full dosage but just go in dischem and compare all the types as vits usuallly not rich in iron

ladies also for those liking vits viral guard does a great fizzy tablet (lea loves it simply chews it and it tastes like super c) it cost around R64 for 60 tablets(2mnths worth) and its full vitamin +echina+probiotic i mean thats super cheap for any probiotic or vit for that matter

ok thats me over and out melk kos tonight yummy

Thanks Vix, will definatly pop past Dischem this week and get some. xx

Oh Helen, sorry I must have been writing my post at the same time as you. I'm so sorry for your family's loss, Theo is a very strong man and very honourable of him to clean up his Gran that way. You must be very proud. My sincerest sympathies to you both. Xxxx

Yoza- hope the kiddies recover quick!

Date night? What's that then? The last time E and I were alone was nearly a year ago when my mum treated us to a night on safari which was May. I can't wait til mum is properly set up and Elwyn and I can go out to dinner together. I really miss just being a couple.

Nicole- wow, I don't even know if I can remember how we got C to sleep through on his own in bed. I used to have to lay by him to get him to sleep but managed to get out of that. Have you tried giving K a magnesium supplement? I crush 1 magnesium tablet (lifestyle nutrition brand from Dischem) and add it to his bedtime milk, he stopped sleeping through so last week I upped it from half a tab to a whole one and boom instantly he started sleeping through again.
