Oct/Nov 2008 mommies!

Simone, I have always thought just letting things happen when they are meant to is the best option. wow, 3 kids? You must be crazy

So C wants me to look for schools for the kids. He's getting steady money in now and wants us to see if we can get more work if we're not running after kids all day. Been phoning around and the cheapest is R1500 full day all meals included, most expensive is Opti Baby at R2750 a month! HECTIC!!!! x2 !!!!!

Vix perhaps he is getting a bit warm. I read that a ceiling fan helps with preventing SIDS so I always had a fan on...not sure if it'll make a difference with the breathing, but perhaps he is hot if the non-swaddling last night helped?

Thanks re: Addison. Saw baby pics yesterday and got so heartsore...she really is very grown up and independent. Heck she may as well go off to varsity soon! This morning she demanded to go to work again...lol. G very rationally told her: You're too small to go to work my baby.

TTC...we're on 4th cycle....but decided to just do things like we did first time round...have sex when we want to. I'm very undecided about baby vs new job at this point...so my mom says, what happens....happens. If I am meant to fall preggies I will, if not and I am to look for work first, I'll find a job first...so we'll see.

G said even if I find a job and we find out I am preggies...we survived once on unpaid leave and we can again if we need to go that route. So ya...very up in the air..we're not using anything, but not exactly using the SMEP....lol. (flip dont know where you got the energy for that Vix!!). Worst case scenario I fall preggies here...at least I get paid this time round....and then look for a new job after I know I'm happy with having 2 kids. 3rd one can come when I'm about 32/33.

Morning ladies,

I didn't swaddle Alex last night and the breathing pad didn't go off so let's see how leaving him open goes for a few days otherwise I think I'll take Julz' advice and speak to my pead because he does have a bit of a reflux problem, I'm just keeping it at bay with Gaviscon at the moment.

Nicole- I agree with the girls, K is a spitting image of you! Gorgeous both of you!

Simone- Addison is so grown up, a real big girl now doing her stretching too. Love the one where she's hitching a ride on Vannah's back! How is the TTC going? I see you replying in the TTC topic, are you learning lots of tips and tricks?

Gautengers!!!!! Please, we need numbers and to decide on a time for 29th, 10 or 11 and who can attend.........

Nelria must be something at their age that they now differentiate between big and small. Addison is also always saying: I want the big meat! (when I give her small piece). She'll say her dress is too small or her shoes, etc. If she sees a toy car its a small car (my niece will say a tiny car) or a big elephant, etc.

lol @ the snacks. Dont worry....I also have an arsenal or unhealthy snacks in my repetoire, but I'm detoxing Addison this week. The child's first words when she wakes up in the morning is: I want ice cream! She is obsessed with ice cream. If we drive passed mcdonalds you must see how happy she gets: Oh you found the ice cream!!!! and the smile fades when we just drive passed...lol.

Yesterday I asked G where the car was (we went to MTN quickly and I jumped out before he and Addy parked). So we walk and get to the car and Addison goes: Oh...daddy found the car! (very surprised tone)

lol. So she probably thought we'd lost it that's why i was asking!

Julz I remember the 8 stones so was wondering what happened to them. Eina! When is the specialist going to see him?

Ally she sounds like a lovely person.

hi ladies

nicole wow your boy is a dead ringer for u - also can u share your beef straganoff recipe please?

simone he he stretching lea nd her oupa was doing ballet yesterday as there is this tikkabella clip of ballet and tap dancing now she wants the shoes - she goes koop skoene - by shops met papa se klein bietjie geld

its a new thing this "klein bietjie" she squints hold two fingers in a pinch and say kleiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiin bietjie for everything (a little bit)

ally - i keep forgetting my sus says if u want to pull in numbers on your blog u should consider experimenting with some wheat free products - apparently they all taste like shit and fall apart for baking - a friend who is allergic started baking it on the side and it blew her out of the water now she cant get ahead of her orders - but she isnt sharing recipe's as its so difficult to perfect and she wants to do cook book eventually - aparantly when u google nothing really comes up so people are desperate - oh and if u interested she did share a very basic secret - if u want the stuff to bind go to dischem and buy something called "colon cleanse" its a fibre and she uses it to bind all her stuff - just sharing ideas here

meet was great yesterday and vix is in such good spirits

luna (our rotweiler)going for op tomorrow managed to get the price down to R1800 from R4200 so very happy i shopped around

nicole - i pack nothing for lea - school provides all snacks and i am very unhealthy mum in general feed my kids tinkies, popcorn, flings. wafer biscuits, sugar fruit, bananas and bacon kips for snacks LOL

xen now wakes again around 12.30 for few dummy runs or bottle but then wakes at 4.30 drinks boob and blisfully sleeps till 6.30 and lea wakes at 5.30 so we are progressing

do any of u have a CV template I havent had one in 10 years and is struggling to compose a professional looking one? please e-mail me on bnlight@gmail.com if u have ta ladies.

Neil was discharged on Sunday. He passed the one causing the issues, but there are another 8 stones which are larger in the kidneys so he must see the specialist. It's like having 8 ticking time bombs in your body.

Pfairy, I know hey? How is one person that gorgeous? AND she is the NICEST most ladylike person I've ever met in my life. She is soooo sweet and so kind. She does so much charity work and she's always there if you need her. I actually hate her lol

Cute pics gals!

Pfairy, that's fine, we'll meet next time.

Vix, lol at your almost reaction. I would've definitely said something like that. You should maybe go get a B12 shot. C and I got them when the twins were small and it helped A LOT!
