Oct/Nov 2008 mommies!

Hi ladies

Sorry for the MIA. Hope you are all doing well! Not much news here, except my old faithful Audi finally gave his last farewell this week and it has been a mission to get to work and home. So I got a Jetta yesterday, so I'm finally on the road again. It just made me appreciate a car that much more!

On the home front, Z is doing well, she is just constipated yet again and I'm really getting fed up with the daymother because I give her syrup in the evenings so obviously she's not getting the correct dosage in the day.
She's a bit of a bratty teenager at the moment though and if I can get a rand for every "Nee, Mamma" and "Nee, Pappa" I would be a millionaire by now. Talk about a temper!

The dreaded MS is still with me but the Asic is helping a bit. I've just got this nasty metal taste in my mouth in the day, so not nice. I'm seeing the gynae for the first time on Monday, cannot wait. Will keep you posted.


Hope you all have a good day and a fabulous weekend

hellooo gals, also been missing in action! sorry

Helen - how is Nina ??

Vix - soooooo holding thumbs for you! Cant believe Elwyn wrote into a magazine! He is just like wine! Getting better with age

Lisha - wow, holiday sounds nice, where do you want to go?

Ally - good luck for Mail and Guardian thing!!

Cameron is not biting at the moment ( thanks for asking Yoza)..I think talking has helped the most.. I told him when someone is upsetting you, tell mommy or the teacher, but no smacking or biting! so this morning at school his friend Zoe hit him and he said "HAZEL!! ( teacher) Zoe is naughty!"" so Hazel said, tell her no smacking!" it was so sweet! Lets hope its over..

had the worst luck with my car, been towed again!! 3rd time in 9 months and each time a new thing!! anyhow this time there were water or air bubbles in the fuel pipes!! So luckily I got it back with no charge

Cameron is not progressing with the potty training - its been more than a month now of trying, so I told the school to please stop. With him being in a much older class, I dont want him to also go through this type of pressure when he is just not getting it. I told them that if he asks to go to the toilet then go with it, but just let him initiate.. Im feeling pleased with this decision. I told them we can try again in a month or two. Besides that, he is loving school, running up to hug his teacher in the morning etc... so he is just my super star!!


Julz - you and your sister better sort this out before her big day otherwise Im sure you will both regret not sharing her day!! I hope that you two find a way!! I know that sometimes you try your best and things still dont work the way you want!! Thinking of you!

Nicole good luck with your move

We have had our building plans approved by the council so we are going ahead in about two weeks with buidling on our 3rd bedroom.. cannot wait! but all our hard saved cash will be GONE!! we still dont have quite enough to paint our unit afterwards but we are managing to save more each month and we will just figure it out!

Pfairy - saw you got yoru visa to go to perth, ,yay! good luck!

Jessica - glad you have a nice big baby on the way.. Just remember that the birth isnt the biggest thing, its the healthy baby and a happy mom.. so if you want to go with a caesar then go for it.. if you feel like you missed out for a natural then listen to your instincts after chatting to your gynae.. Honestly - sooo many people manage to have natural birth no matter what the baby size - even up to 4.5 kgs but the stress you feel for natural might not be worth it!! its allll up to you and your hubby!!

We cant wait to meet him now

okay - byeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

okay - kisses all of you
Shame Nelria - good luck with sleep training!!

lwasi - amu our little darling has come such a far way WOW

ankia - glad u getting beter girl xxx

still running round like headless chicken shopping, admin, cv, jobhuting havent even opened a book for assignment yet so really just barely touching ground

Vix: Dont stress yourself remember that having two little ones that are demanding will put a strain to how you relate to C. In time things will normalise. the nice things about kids is how well at times they adapt. hugs to you. I know the feeling siba also gave me a cold sholder when buhle was still small he was a daddy and nanny's boy. Now he quiclky runs to me leaving her behind so that he gets a hug and kisses

Lwasi: I do hope lil man gets well.

Julz: Enjoy the concert

Simone: I so remeber you stressing about addy whne she seemesd to be ignoring you. How is the dieting coming along my dear.

Lisha: So sorry to hear about the difficult night. im sure your exhausted.

Oh jess i would not recommend the induction in any event my gynae does not do inductions on women who were unable to deliver naturally before. Why not let the pregnacny progress and see what happnes thats what I did and when baby did not turn and engage i then went for a C-section and buhle was a whopping 4,215ks. All the best love.

Hi ladies

Quick post before I am off for the weekend!

Lisha so sorry about the disruptive night! Hope the day flies by!

Vix...hang your head in shame...you are an awful mother!!! NOT!! My friend...dont take it personally. I remember (another story what is with me???) crying my eyes out when Addy was 7m..I swore she hated me! And now she also does the 'go away...dont wanna kiss you' thing! So maybe a terrible 2 phase thing???

Yoza I am sooooo chuffed Siba is doing well and you got some answers! In no time he'll be talking your head off and you'll be wishing for silent Siba! lol

Okay gotta run..Cynthia is off sick so I'm leaving work...tomorrow I am off to help my cousin with planning for her sister's kitchen tea...she's down from JHB for 2w.

Hi mommies

Only time for a very quick post as I am also super exhausted after another disruptive night and a very busy morning. Funny how some days nobody even looks for me and some days like today the boss wants/needs so many different things!!! Oh well at least the day is speeding by.

Yoza so pleased that all is well with Siba's ears. Well done to the little guy on behaving so well during his tests.

Vix I hope your mood picks up as the day progresses but please don't beat yourself up about C, you have way too much on your plate so these things will be expected, hope he gave you big hugs after he woke up xxx

Sorry that's all there is time for. I am starting to get hungry and I have no food yet Supposed to be on diet but eating KFC for lunch

HI ladies,

I am so super exhausted today, read all the posts but my mind is a blank.

Vix, Sorry you're feeling defeated today, but just remember, every day is different and just last week you were on top of the world, soon you will be again.

Julz, enjoy U2.

Lelani, fx for the job!!!!

So it seems I might be on Pasella in the next few weeks. Not sure about any details yet but will keep you posted.
