Oct/Nov 2008 mommies!

Good Morning

Julz & Vix - take it easy
Lwasi - wow what a great opportunity, you will love the USA, I worked there on a SKI Resort in my student years.

Wow - ally 6000 - that is great

AFM, doing great, someone asked about MS, well I am very great, as long as I had something to eat, If I am hungry I just want to run.

No crying this morning from William, and I did not have to carry him, his 16kg's is heavy. I just tell him what good boy he is, and that I do not have to carry him.

Nothing much happening on my side, it is not so busy at the office anymore, just have a big group that will travel to Indonesia & Vietnam in April, and I am busy with all that arrangements

Have a great day

Hi ladies

Julz lol @ the great weight loss for your sisters wedding but I'm sure you don't need it. Hope you do feel better soon, when are you seeing the doctor again?
Well done to Dylan with the potty & hehehe at the ambitious guy using 2 pottys

Vix hope C is kind to you for the rest of the day. I agree with Julz that you should maybe use the pad (as yucky as that may be lol) but better after having an internal procedure done I guess.
Re the heavy bleeding & cramps mine is horrid since I stopped breastfeeding so maybe the same with you???

Lwasi wow great news & opportunity girl. Also wondering same as Julz, is Amu coming with?

Ally congrats on the 600 hits.

Angie not a bad mommy at all, like the others said all our kids are different and will do things at a different pace. Hope your dh starts to feel better about everything soon xxx

AFM Shrey is feeling a little better but still has the stuffy nose. A bit niggly & clingy during the day with my mum but otherwise he's okay. He's with mil today and hope it's a calm day there for him because he had bad nights last week after being there.

Morning ladies


Angie I am so sorry for everything that is happening at the moment. Please don't stress about the dummy/bottle. You know your child and at two they still need their comfort items so please don't call yourself a terrible mom!!! I only stopped because Dylan was talking ngongo ngo language all the time!

Vix take it easy and if your bleeding is still the same today I recon you should just give your gynae a tinkle. You should rather use pads anyway as they did operate in the uterus if they did a d & c so less chance of infection with a pad or that is what I have been told. If you drench a pad every hour call the doc.

Lwasi wow USA. Awesome opportunity. Will Amu go with you?

P fairy forgot to comment on Aussie land. Bet you glad you are not there at the moment. You know what is best and sometimes opportunities come knocking and you know that they need to be looked at. Good luck.

Lisha how is Shrey today?

Ally that dress is too stunning and 6000 views wow amazing. Well done.

AFM had a rough night. Not feeling well and as long as I don't eat I am fine. Great weight loss for sisters wedding. I got two hours sleep so today is going to be a tough one.

Got a new dryer. Neil bought us a nice smeg and I think we are going to cut electricity bill as our old one needed two cycles to dry things and this one far less.

Potty training going well. He is a potty slut!! He will pee in anything and even pees in both potties one after the other.
Then I need to give him two stars! Need to stock up.

Morning ladies,

Ange- I'm so sorry forhese very tough times your family is going through. Doesn't DH's company have to pay out retrenchment monies? I believe he's entitled to 1 weeks pay for every year worked.

As for being a bad mommy, you can stop that talk right now, you are not bad for leaving CJ with his dummy, I litterally only took C's away 2 weeks ago because his stale saliva breath was driving me mad but he's still on the bottle for any milk and Nappies are back to full time. Every child is different and every mother has different parenting ways, that's not to say either is right or wrong, just different. I remember before I had C I used to look at small kids with their dummies in and nappies on and think it was terrible but now I realize that 2years old isn't all that big yet and they still need some comforts.

Christopher is being a nightnare today, so so so naughty and he's jumping all over me and I still feel a little tender. I'm not suppised to pick up anything heavy so he's irritated because I won't pick him up.

I am bleeding heavily, not sure if it's because this is my first period after the birth or if it has something to do with the op yesterday. They did a DD&C and I imagine that can cause more bleeding too but I'm filling a super tampon ever hour which is very unusual for me, I'm usually a 3-4hr on the regular size.. Not really in pain though, just a little uncomfortable with heavy period type pains.

Jonathan has now doubled his birth weight and is 3.2kg but that's still smaller than C was at birth, crazyness! Alexander is 3.6kg so they are starting to look more like regular size babies now (well just not 2r month old babies LOL)

Julz- I hope you're feeling a bit better today? Xxx

gals hi,

I am so sorry tht I have been TOOOOOO quite, well its a seris of events, firstly got new bosses, one gay lady and one women-loving old men and they are both giving me hussles workwise and personally.

As u know IM TRAVELLING FROM vAAL TO pta EVRYDAY and now this woman insist that icome in at 7:30 and leave at 4, whereas iv been coming in at 6:30-6:45 and leaving at 14:30-14:45 and not taking lunch in between, but NO she insist i have to follow the given time.

secondly I was gunning for that promotion that I applied for in Oct, remember? well I was told I didnt make the cut and that hurt me so much cos i was counting on the money to get me out the travelling rut, but nay it didnt happen.

I know even though I havent been reading much of the posts just scanning through that u have been asking of my whereabouts and Yoza textd me on FB, thanks for that.

But great news I got a posting and will going to Washington for 4yrs, friends I cant wait really, its not about USA they could have sent me anywhere I would have been happy to go make money for my child and come back financially liberated.

Love u all will pop in during the day the dragon lady just passesd by...

HI gals.

Angie, you are definitely NOT a bad mother for not taking those things away. It all depends on what you and your family are comfortable with. I'm fine with the twins still having their dummies when they sleep and sometimes, when they're being really difficult during the day I give in and give it to them at home too. It's just something I'm not that worried about. I really don't think it's influenced their speech because from the time they started talking, when they talk to us, we say "mommy can't understand when you have your dummy in" so now when they speak, they take their dummies out, and let me tell you, THEY DON'T SHUT UP! They are constantly talking! And especially during this difficult time for you, allow him to have some comforts, he'll go off all that stuff when you are both ready for it.

I really hope things get better for your DH. I can't imagine how he must be feeling, having so much to worry about. I will keep you in my prayers.

I'm so shocked, we woke up to see that my blog got over 6000 visitors last night. All from the US and Canada!!! That's usually what I get in a week!!

Hi ladies,

Sorry I have also been quiet - there is just so many things on my mind, I do try and keep updated, but cannot find the words or strenght to reply!

Oh, Vix I am sorry I did not even know you were in for sterilization yesterday! Glad all went well - please look after yourself and try and take it easy - I know easier said than done with 3 kiddies!!!

Julz OH no my friend - I really hope that things turn around for you as well health wise! It is terrible to be in pain, and not really knowing what is going on!! Hope the bloodtests come back soon, how are you feeling today?

Lisha - Shrey sounds so adorable re Jamie Oliver!!

Simone - Addy is so grown up! Good luck with interview on Friday!

Pfairy - good luck with the BIG desicion you have to make! I am sure all wil work out as it should!

Nelria - any news on a job? Good luck with everything!

Nicole and Ange - good luck with driving lessons!

Nicole glad K is doing so well at new school!

Ally - well done on diet going so well! And the dress looks beatiful!

Yoza - wow buhle is growing up so quickly! LOL at her being a bully! Siba sounds adorable!

AFU - DH did not do so well with after theatre on Monday - his BP was extremely high, and they kept him overnight for observation - came out on Tuesday and spent yesterday at home. Is back at work today, still in pain and needs to go to physio everyday. His emotional state is more worrying than the physical, as he is not talking to me, he is obviously taking everything on himself, which is so not necassary, but he knows I am here, and will talk when he is ready. He will be chatting to new employers today, and see if there is not a way that we can relocate earlier, as financially we cannot cope without his salary. Please pray with us, that the new company would assist us in this way!
BIL - feeling a bit better - he now as a 2 week break until the next chemo!

Cj is doing very well - shame if it was not for him, I think we would've cracked up! He is keeping us sane at the moment. He is such a loving, content and happy child! Doing really well with potty training, not a lot of accidents, we had our first poo in the potty on Saturday but since then back to accidents, or in the nappy with poo! But I am so proud of him and not pushing it at all!!! As for dummy and bottle, Cj still has 3 bottles during the day and his dummy at nap times and bedtime, I know I am a terrible mom for not taking this away - but he absolutely loves his milk, and wants in it the bottle, I have tried other things, but he refuses. At the moment I honestly don't have the strenght to do anything about it now... I think I want him to throw it away himself at the moment, I am sure he wont have these things at 3 - or I hope so!

Ok, I have to go now - patients waiting!

For anyone Ive missed - sorry!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Have a nice day all!
