Oct/Nov 2008 mommies!

Hello ladies

Angie: I cannot believe how things have worked out. God is just blessing you guys. The move back home is just awesome all the best my darling.

Helen: Oh i love reading and hearing how nina is doing dont you find it fascinating how different your kids are and the strong characters the girls have.

Simone: i must say i dread potty training siba is no where near it. I bought him undies and did you think that made him notice, nope.

Nelly: All the best for the house. Good luck with your new venture. Word of mouth is always the best. And I find smaller groups work bes as the mummies become close. That is what i noticed with mums nad babes with mums and tots the classes were bigger and the mummies were just not so friendly so i stopped

Ally: So sad about the passella venture

Vix: did i miss something are you concerned about the tweenies not gaining weight.

lelani: March 26 you said im happy with that gives me enough time to sort myself out.

Enigma, christi, pfairy, ara were missing you guys and your LO

AFM: buhle is doing so well babblering her head of. She has such huge tantrums and she cries and throws her self on the floor. At night if she does not get her boobie she literally screams pinches my boobs and will slap my breasts needles to say DH thinks its so funny.

Siba is baby talking its so funny he honetsly thinks we understand him he will talk and laugh and we have to respond. I cannot wait for monday Im so excited for my little boy the doctor says he will be a new person I wonder if he will notice the change

OH MY WORD ANGELIQUE! THAT IS SHIT SCARY STUFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was holding my breath here reading that!! Please please keep us updated on what paed says!

Julz still busy as well? Is wedding this weekend?

Vix you say the triplets are bigger than the twins and the twins are older? I would also be a bit concerned...so do chat to your paed please!

Nelria sorry you didnt get the job (dont I know that feeling!)...but it seems maybe for a reason as you have big plans and ideas! Hope it all works out;-)

We have a wedding at 6:30pm tonight!!! Addison can attend but apparently paying full price or half price...well not my worry I guess as invitation was extended. A littl3e annoyed cause Sil brought L to church on Sunday after she was throwing up all morning...Mil said last night she was sick all week...now Addy has congested nose! She hasnt been sick in over a year....so really hoping she doesnt get sick as I stress and freak out...also with wedding tonight we'll be out late and going away the weekend....just trying to dose her with vitamins and giving some rinex for the nose. Think thats all I can do.

Vix we are going to Katberg...my friend has timeshare and invited us to come for the whole week for free...but we sadly couldnt get away from the 22nd so going early tomorrow morning until monday...so just 2 nights.

Zee...I wanted to cry reading that....I remember very well the story when the lg was shot...I wouldnt survive that...and now this...ag...*sigh*...makes me want to cry. Life really isnt fair sometimes:-(

Okay...hope I didnt miss anybody...been a while (feels like forever) since I had a chance to do proper post and reply to everyone!!

Lwasi, Ally, Jessica...Hi!

Hi ladies!

Angie I'm sorry things are rough at work, but at least its MID DAE! Sounds like everything worked out for the best! Did Dh now manage to start new job earlier or was he supposed to start now?

Wow on the dummy! That is great! So weaning stress for mommy!!

Lelani...still no news w.r.t job?? Interview??

Nelria I hope something comes through with house sale soon...seems that guy is just buying time!

Lisha lol @ Shreyan being cross with your mom!! These kids!

I had a real heartsore moment yesterday. We were at my cousin's place and Addison asked to wee and off she went. We get home about half an hour later and she is on mil's lap when she gets up and mil's pants is wet!! She sat and wee'd on mil (ha ha, but naughty!). So I asked her why she did it and she avoided eye contact...then my mom jumped in and she ran to her dad crying...she was really really upset. I know she gets embarrassed so I should have not gone on with her.

So with her wet face she comes to me and says: mummy cross for me?

Ag no my heart broke...so I said no baby...I am not cross. I know it was an accident. She and mil were building lego towers so I think its just excitement and she forgot. Just weird her just doing that out of nowhere (and having wee'd in the last hour) and not even saying after she did it...but anyways...will remember she is still small and an accident once in a while is not the end of the world.

Nicole when are you going for your licence??

Angelique I am in reply mode and seem to have missed your post...worried about this scary stuff about Cole everyone is commenting on so will go back now to check!

Yoza....so glad you are making progress with Siba! You must feel so relieved knowing the cause now and having a solution in sight!

Enigma...still busy busy busy??? Have a good weekend with the kids...I know you have a nice weekend planned;-)

ok that didnt work still platinum apparently to advertise goods/services etc need to be gold lol

didnt catch up ladies just spoke to a friend abot something I might just do seriously

ok you lot know all these weekly groups - kindermusik etc I am thinking the house we looking at buying has got huge spaces and my friend wants to start this in cpt and want to buy a franchise so she is willingly to put money up front and then i can pay half as i go to gain access to a playgroup/educational thingy program/structure/name etc

so i was thinking why not? if I have space? the tools to do it? I can advertise on here/ facebook/word of mouth as i know we all know someone who wants to join these things at some stage

I mean I can generate quite a good income for no real outlay/risk - I am at home (just heard didnt get the PA job btw) but dont really care as I am quite excited about the whole possibility now

anyhoe as saying home anyway can work around xen and come may I can even continue around internship so no loss of income

so come on girl brainstorm with me!!!!!!!!!

network a bit for me if u can think of anything? I mean if I can secure a group of say 5 ladies once a week thats all i need to start advertsising like posters at creshes, flyers at hospitals, gynae etc

ok this is all dependant on us selling and bying of course but I think I am on to something

what do u reckon?

just checking my boarder status lol

Hi ladies,

I have been MIA big time, but things have been really hectic on our side!

Today will probably be my last post for a while, as we are moving on Monday and today is my last day at work! Everything luckily came through for us, the new company moved everything forward to accomodate DH so we are really very relieved and blessed that things have turned out as they did!

Things have been terrible at work, as managment are so rude to me, I suppose everyone has this problem when they resign!

We are no longer moving to Middelburg, but Bloemfontein - and we are soooo excited about it! We come from there, DH studied there and we have always wanted to go back! It's just as if the retrenchment was meant to happen so that DH got the position that opened up earlier in Bloem! I also got a very nice halfday job at the EAR INSTITUTE there soooo excited to work there, as since varsity I wanted to work for them!

CJ is doing extremely well - really growing up so fast, talking our heads off, dropped his dummy by himself about 2 weeks ago, he just threw it in the garden and never asked for it again - can you believe how lucky one mommy can be!!! And the potty training is also gpoing well, off daytime nappy - still has a 2 or so oopsies but I think it's more becoz he is soo busy concentrating on something or playing that he doesn't even notice he had pee'd! Other than that he is a healthy, happy and busy little boy!

OK I am going to try to catch up - but I cannot promise anything - I have tried to follow during the week, but I can't remember everything!

Firstly ZEE, congrats on the pregnancy! Sorry about MS, wish you all the best! Sorry that Z was sick - these ear infections are terrible!

Ange - so sorry about Cole not being himself lately! Hope the pead can give some insight to what might be the cause! Hugs to you!

Simone - sorry you did not get the job - glad that you are feeling better, and that you and your boss had the chat! Addy is too cute for words, and a real little girly girl!

Julz - I had to laugh at your comment about competing against your sisters fake boobs! Sorry that you are so busy - goodluck with everything you need to do, and your trip that's coming up!

Lisha - I also love geckos, and Cj is also very fond of them he chases them around everywhere! Goodluck with all the month end stuff!

Vix - I would've been very pissed off!!!!! You are a way better woman than me for staying so calm, and handling it all on our own! Hats off to you girl, you are one strong mommy and a inspiration and example to all of us!!!

Ally - glad your CT trip was good, you are a busy lady these days - so happy for you!

Jess - yay on getting a date for C-sec - sho but Riley is a big baby! Will keep you and Riley in my thoughts and sure everything will work our perfectly! Think of it next week this time, you'll have your precious little boy in your arms!

Helen - aahh that's sad that your ML has almost come to an end! Enjoy the last month, and hope everything on the work front works out for you!!!

Nicole - congrats on moving into your new house - WOW K is such a big boy moving into his own room! Hope you will have many happy years and memories in your house!

Nelria - goodluck with the house selling and buying! I hope the buyer comes through and that he does not keep you waiting too long! Glad the interview went well!

Yoza - hope all goes well with Siba's op! Strongs girl!

Mandy - sorry about your building plans not coming through! Hope you find something soon!

Lelani - a new job?? have you heard anything yet - keeping FX for you!

OK - I think this is a very long post!

I am not sure if or when I will have access to moomie again soon, coz trying to log on from my phone is a nightmare!!!!!!!!!! So for now its bye bye - hope you all have wonderful weekends!!!

Chat again soon!!! FX

Angie

Jess- good luck for tuessday if we don't hear from you before! X

Yoza- hope the op goes well on Monday, I'm sure the grommets are going to make a huge difference.

Mandy- sorry about your building plans but I def think a fixer upper is tway to go. Elwyn bought our house in a real state but at a bargain price so we've been doing it up ovber the past few years and now we just have the kitchen to do then everything is new. It's so nice because you can at least afford your own 'space', Cam is gonna love having a garden for himself. I hope you find the perfect place soon and manage to gett a decent price for your house.

Nel- I hope this sale goes through! What area are you looking to buy in? Close to where you are now? Looks like we still have the opportunity to move to PTA in the next couple of years but it might have to be PTA north

Lisha- ahhh bless Shrey trying his luck for noonies LOL

I think I have to email the paed about the boys weight gain. They're picking up weight but not nearly as fast as all the other premmies and multiples of their age. My mum says it's because I'm not the tallest person in the world so they have less growing than other babies ? Really? I don't think so, C grew very fast, he was a lovely fat baby but these boys just aren't gaining very fast at all, maybe 100g a week when it should be more like 200g+ see what Dr says maybe I'll have to change formulas.

Helen- I'll make you another taglet when I get chance so you have one to wash and one to wear. I just wasn't much upto sewing when I was preggers so I tried to do as little as possible, I need to make Jess a spare too so must get to it. We really should meet up before you go back to work, not sure when though, everyday of my life seems so hectic these days I've been cancelling meets left right and center. Nina sounds very very cute and I'm sure she's such a pleasure to have around. Is she still sleeping through?
