Oct/Nov 2008 mommies!

hello gals

Camerons birthday and party was soooo soooo exciting, a 3 yr old just makes it all worth while! Everyone that rsvped actually arrived which is a first for me and the venue we hired was great. We learned alot from last year like catering yourself costs as much as catering from the spar!! so it was a lot less fuss, I will load pics on facebook soon. I have been a bit over tired so on monday I took the day to rest! I really actually sat still the whole day.. the groin pain i have had and the sheer feeling of wanting to SLEEP all the time was getting overwhelming!! sad but true - i have not been able to sail through this pregnancy as easily as the last, but still feeling positive, blessed and excited to have a healthy baby to carry. We were overwhelmed with the gifts cameron received, and we hid about half of them since he didnt even notice all of them once opened so I am sure that we will have plenty to keep cam busy once his sister arrives His cousins arrive for holidays the day before her due date and my mom comes for the birth on the day of ( booked her flights a while back ) that is if its all on track

Helen - any news on the leak - isnt it covered by insurance as Julz mentioned?

Julz - oohh good luck with the party preparations. Glad to hear that Dylan is sleeping better since the op, even while he is sick and glad to hear that the tremors are giving you a break!!

Lisha - sorry to hear you have a cyst.. let us know when it can be removed!

Ally - hope your manuscript is pulling together!! guys, i managed to win a soda stream machine from Allys website!! woohoo, Thanks Ally! Cameron really loves it and there are such nice flavours these days, I have kiwi with pear and a grape one so far both delicious!

Angie - we are routing for you hon! sorry that you havent had your wish yet but we will need a new preggie fairy soon, so hopefully it will happen sooner than later!

Chrisda hope all is going well with Kota and Iris and you and Maarten of course, chat soon!

Vix - where are you ??

Nelria - loving all the facebook updates and pics, hope you are well, looks like Lea had an awesome time!

Lwasi - happy birthday to your little cutie

chat soon ladies!!!!

Ah Simone thanks for posing pics . The party was stunning, I truely love the colours and the cake wow!!!! The babyshower was divine as well! Addy sound so sweet re: seat belts lol, i am also loving the conversations with K these days and also the serious looks when it comes to a serious conversation like for example last night he spotted a beetle in his play room:

K - mom come look here quickly
Me - oh, its a beetle look, and its sitting on your buzz light year
K - yes they friends talking
Me - yes i wonder what they talking about
K - (pulls a serious face) mmm maybe about infinity and beyond and spaceship
Me (giggle) im sure you right boy
K - yes,( looks at beetle and buzz) Hello friends!

so cute.

Angie ag im so sorry, wish i could give you a big hug. I hope that when you do get to see the gyne he/she will be able to provide you with a way forward. ((hugs))

Julz glad the night terrors are easing a bit. You are doing space theme hey? Im sure it is going to be stunning. I am also praying for good weather for the weekend as i really dont want a bunch of children with sugar rush destroying my house lol. We are also having K's party next weekend, and i think Ally to if i am not mistaken.

simone will bring SD card to work tomorrow and upload pics, the quality aint that great as they had bright lights in the hall which affected the pic quality abit.

Ally i really thought i did a post re: the twins school? Thats great though, im sure it will be a heartbroken but they will have tons of fun and it will provide you and C with more time to concentrate on work, i cant imagine how you guys both currently work from home and look after the twins it must be exhausting balancing the two.

Our dog and has bitten a huge hole in K's trampoline net and bit of the bottom piece with the buckle and the zip ( which cost like R1000) was so cross but what can i do, so need to find a way to fix it cause im to nervous to allow K to jump without that net protecting his fall.

okay got to run again

have a lovely day ladies

P.S. ( A MONTH TIL I GO ON LEAVE YAY!!!!!!!!!!)

Angie so sorry your appointment has been shifted. Nothing more annoying, but I am sure it can't be avoided.

Simone yes I can bake. I am making a cake from scratch but there are really nice cake mixes on the market that you truly can't flop.

Ag Angie....everytime I see your name I hope its the BIG announcement...and I'm disappointed...so can't imagine how you must feel:( Stay strong my friend...I tried for almost a year as well...so your turn is coming! Otherwise I need to fly to CT to have a chat with your uterus!! lol

Julz baking your own cake??? Ooh....I would never do that to myself. BUt you ladies are all so talented and creative on this forum and your cakes always look great!

Our internet is being wonky and wont let me click on pic:( Cant u edit post and 'insert' pic? THen it'll come up in post.

Hi everyone

Simone the pics are stunning and glad that you enjoyed everything. Can't believe that you and Mandy will be seeing your babies so soon.

Christi, Kota is really beautiful.

Julz goodluck with the party planning I'm sure that everything will be just perfect.

Nicole glad you enjoyed K's concert.

Can't remember much else but just wanted to say hello to everyone.

Was feel a bit depro as AF arrived last week on my birthday and now the Gynae will only be able to see me next month and not this coming friday anymore. So ja

Other than that we are all well and Cole is learning and talkin so much and generally just making me happy all the time (even when he is naughty)

Hi Girls

Very quiet here.


Simone love the pictures.

Helen hope the advice helped. The probiotics is a good one. I always forget that.

Christi your son is too beautiful. congrats. I assume you managed natural birth again this time?

Lisha yes any dates booked to remove cyst. I have had one there and it is flipping sore. Rather have it taken out properly.

Wow nicole last minute arrangements for birthday.

Ally glad you have found a good school. Always nice feeling to know your kids are well taken care of.

Mandy not long for you either!! Exciting all the latest arrivals.

AFU. We are well. I have had two terror free nights. Yay. Dylan has been sick so a few disrupted nights and I though oh no here we go again, but has slept through for the past two nights.

Realise the party is next week so I had better get cracking. I hate how I choose a theme and then can't find anything so I am going to have to put my art talents to the test. Leigh is doing cup cakes for Dylan's school and for the adults and I will bake the cake as I do each year. Hired the gear and the jumping castle. Lots of kids coming so hopefully good weather or it is going to be crowded in our house!

Ally that is great peace of mind to have found a school! Nice that the twins will have each other as well:)

Re: being grown up...its a sad feeling. Havent had a trace of a baby in a year now...no nappies, bottles, etc.

Guys re: booster seats....can they use the ones that is just like a bum base? We swopped Addison to that months ago thinking we were supposed to, but she's too short i think so we basically strap her around her waist only...then Ir ead article saying this was wrong???? I'm never gonna get madam back into a full on car seat now!!!!!

Yesterday we got into car and I put her in back seat and closed the door. (My mom was at the back and was going to strap her in) So she says: mummy you forgot to strap me in!

So she says to granny: Ma where is your belt seat? Its fun to be strapped in! lol.

Granny bad example though and refuses to wear a 'belt seat'! So I told Addy the police will take her to jail so madam told me: I will go rescue ma from jail!

I love love love the conversations we have! She seemed to have croup again 2 nights ago and woke up and said: mummy I am sick again. where is the 'fermometer' for my ear?

Real mini people. Ally (and later Vix) you got that times 2 for this age...what a blessing!

Lwasi how was the little man's birthday??? A belated happy birthday to him!!!!! I hope he got spoilt rotten!!
