Oct/Nov 2008 mommies!

Hi ladies

Thanks for missing me:-) always nice to be missed.

When I got home I saw all the moomie notifications so could read all replies...but please forgive me if I miss u.

Julz so glad potty training is going well;-) when is your next trip?

with night time nappies...ladies I just took the plunge. Addison never asked to go...we just thought we'd wing it somehow. She didn't wet bed for first week then had accident...look maybe easier cause no night time bottles so not a lot of drinking...so not a lot of wee...after 1 accident she started waking up to ask to go to toilet. And she doesn't even do it often. Since end December/beginning January we've had 3 accidents. Vix I understand with babies I'd not want to get up to change wet sheets...maybe make it Elwyns department, but these kids learn fast. He'll wet himself once or twice and chances are he'll be way more aware about wetting the bed at night.

Nelria...can't believe Lea is still waking so early!! We've at least moved to 6:30-7:30am...though the latter very rare! Good on u for not missing the sleep...wish Brett would agree to no.3!

Yoza photography course? That sounds soooo cool! And masters? Wow girl! You are the shizzle!! U just never stop...admire it:-)

Zee have u been getting some rest?

Nicole hope your big 'baby' doesn't make life too difficult for u!lol. Another photog in our midsts! Really sounds like fun!

Angie so inconvenient when they break in especially when nothing tsaken, but I suppose one must be grateful!

Does anybody know where Lwasi is?

Yoza yes the clock is ticking and I'm very heartsore, but what can I do. Just don't wanna make fool of myself at airport crying infront of g's colleagues.

Julz: A happy belated ten year anniversary. Glad that potty training is going well for you.

Vix: I can see your dilemma with the tweenies im sure in time jono will catch up when he sees big brother ahead. Lucky mummy for having sleeping babies.

nelria: i see we are not lucky in the sleeping department with our babies

Nicole: i was atteending 2 two day photography crash course at work cause when i go out on stories we have to take pics, was nice hope i still remember half the stuff they taught us.

Helen: You are only human and there is so much one can go through.

Lish: glad to hear gran is well and hope shrey keeps up the good sleeping habits

Zee: OMG spotting please please please take it easy and bed rest for you mummy.

Christi: no MS or cravings?

Angie: Hopefully nothing was stolen from the office quite sad of the epilectic man.

Simone: how are things tick tock must be sinking in that G is about to leave

AFM: buhle is responding to the meds tem is normal her voice is coming back but her chest is still tight. siba has a morning coughing spree it goes on for 30min and its gone. his good just naughty and turns my house into havoc.

I on the other hand am exhausted and have too much going on. My masters program is quite intense and am worried of my coping skills.

Cool thanks Ally. Yummy.

Nelria, yup, he picks her up and then just puts her back into bed and she goes back to sleep.

Julz, just leave out the leeks and no, I wouldn't bake it. Just fry the chicken until cooked and then do the sauce.

Nicole- sorry you Posted about your class while I was in reply mode. I'm glad your claswas good but yes very long, you must have been exhausted. I'm pleased DH had fun with K too.

The Paed said to start the boys on solids from 5m because they were a. Month prem but I have to make a confession, this week I started Alex on rice cereal because he's drinking 1L milk a day and that's the first marker for solids but also he suddenly started drinking just half his milk then complaining he's hungry but refusing more milk. I think too much liquid is making him uncomfortable and causing reflux issues again so the rice cereal fills him up but doesn't cause the reflux. Ironiclly since giving him cereal he's drinking more milk again. Alex was ready for it, from the first bowl he knew how to swallow nicely and gobbles up a full bowl of about 5tsp dry cereal mixed with 100ml milk! I will not even try Jono for at least another month, I can just see he's not ready, he is so far behind Alexander in develoment and especially having been a colic baby I believe his system is not ready for solids yet.

Alex although prem has never shown signs of prematurity, it's odd actually, he never went into ICU even though he was 5w prem, never needed oxygen nothing and he's hitting milestones at full term babpy stages. It's odd actually because Jonathan is what I consider to be at regular prem stages, he is exactly that 5w behind on all the milestones and he's picking up weight slowly compoared to his brother. It's like having 2 different children. I was. Bit sad yesterday because I thought maybe I should stop Alex's cereal so he doesn't overgrow Jono but you know what, I can't hold Alex back just because his brother isn't ready, it's not fair to his development, I will just have to raise them at different stages for a while. Alex is already showing signs of trying to sit more upright.

Nicole glad to hear that photography class was nice and that K & dh coped without you.

Vix these molars are taking forever to come out. Guess it's going to be a while more on this side because Shrey is only cutting bottom 2

Simone is having technological issues this week and more so today lol. Their internet is capped at work so she can't come onto moomie. And today she left her blackberry at home. She isn't a happy chappy lol.

Vix i am glad Jono is feeling better and so awesome about the sleep through!!!!!!!!!! Im glad you and C got to spend some alone time together and that it made him more accepting of you, im sure you will both look forward to those outings or time together.

Julz dh is hands on......his just not use to me not being around longer than an hour lol.

Simone is very quiet!! Also we havent heard from Pfariy and Lelani for ages - busy gals!!!!

Shame DH is sick now (guess i can expect a grumpy husband tonight)
