Oct/Nov 2008 mommies!

Enigma congrats on Zaid's birthday and sorry I missed it. Trust the mom with prem twins and a toddler to remember. Boy now I feel really useless!

Vix yay on C going to the loo!!! So pleased his constipation is better. Is he using something like laxette?

Lisha Shrey sounds so funny!!!

Simone naughty for spending your gift on your daughter. That is my one rule. I never spend anything on myself so when I get money for gifts it goes on me!

Dylan is finally starting to use the potty. Well sort of. He is now aware and last night moaned that he needed to poo and we ran to the potty but nothing. Good start though. Just wish he would stop peeing all over the house. I bought him the pull up pants instead of the nappy so I hope that will help.

okay bye ladies. Back to work for me.

Oops Enigma I am so sorry we all missed Zaid's birthday. Tks for the reminder Vix (you're putting us all to shame )

BELATED HAPPY BIRTHDAY ZAID. Hope you had a fab day and got spoiled rotten by your mum & dad xxx.

Vix how did the boys sleep last night? Hope you got some rest.
And congrats on C's poo in the toilet ... really being such a big boy since his brothers arrived xxx

Morning ladies,

Firstly a HUGE apology to Zaid for forgetting to wish him a happy birthday yesterday.....

Happy Happy Birthday Zaid, I hope you had a great day with mommy and Daddy.

Enigma- Sorry I forgot, I remembered every day before and suddenly it slipped my mind yesterday. I hope you guys had a lovely day, did you go to the butterfly place?

Ally- wow, so many babies wanted to be 2010 babies, we've also had a lot ofd prem babies in our Jan feb group including singletons. Craziness! As for the pill thing, I can only say it's the ovulation that's causing pain but I'mm not sure how it's linked to the constipation. The only way to avoid the ovulation pain is to not ovulate and that would mean using a hormone based contraception wich will also likely change your mood. Perhaps you should speak to your Gynae about how the pill affects your moods and she can prescribe a different type. Which pill were you on? Sometimes the combined pill causes problems for people so then they prescribe a progesterone only pill.

I love the way Abi & Aidan communicate, it's soooo cute! Abi sounds like she'll be a real little performer one day. Oh and I forgot to say congrats on weaning them off the bottle, well done mommy.

Simone- WOW WELL DONE ADDY on the potty training, she's been so quick to pick it up and especially go through the night! So proud of her! Well done Simone!

Morning ladies

Simone so sweet of you to share your birthday money with Addy Is she still clinging to Buzz?
These kids are being damn adorable with their longer sentences and new words hey ... growing up too fast.

Ally my cramps are definitely worse without the pill but I also hated the mood swings, lack of sex drive & awful skin. Much happier of it but don't have any solutions for you other than condoms lol.

We had a good evening. My sister, bil & niece were out all day with bil's family so house was nice & quiet. As soon as I got home Shrey wanted me to play lego's with him, after a while he got bored and started to throw them. He was sent to the naughty corner. Later on he was spitting so he got sent to the naughty corner again but this time it backfired lol he put me there instead and told me everything I'd told him like 'look at the wall' or 'don't turn around' & 'okay that's better' LMAO it was so cute how he scolded me. He had a good night last night but I battled with my back constantly but didn't want to take a Myprodol for fear of constipation. Need to see if my chiro is coming in at all this week.

Hi gals.

Just quickly popped in to catch up on posts.

Vix, glad that Jono latched.

Helen, I'm very pro bottle feeding. So many of my friends had such issues with the breast and used to beat themselves up over it and sometimes you just can't do it and that's ok too.

Wow this is definitely the month of preemies. Not only Vix, but last week my friend gave birth at 31 weeks (placental abruption or something) and yesterday my other friend gave birth at 30 weeks. Both babies are in NICU but doing ok so far.

I was just saying to C last night how much I'm enjoying the twins now but they've hit the two's hard! lol The tantrums are quite something to behold. But I quickly take them to the room and they're allowed to calm down away from other people. It seems to help a bit.

Another awesome thing about having twins is how they talk to each other. In the mornings this is how it goes :

Abi : "where's Oupa?"
Aidan : " Oupa Dudus, DUH!"
Abi : "Neeeeee, Oupa showaaa! Where's Thane? (cousin)"
Aidan : "Thane Dudus, DUH!"
Abi : "Ja, Thane Dudus"

And so they continue until every person in the family has been covered. They play so nicely together but also fight a lot. And they are singing constantly. Everything is a song. I'll say "Abi, please go fetch my cell phone." Then she'll go up the stairs singing "fetching cellphone, fetching cellphone, abi, abi, fetching cellphone" lol. My dad said the other day it's like living in a musical with Abi lol.

Well let me get going, need to go make my shake and drink some myprodol. AF has arrived and it's a bit sore.

Oh, I wanted to ask you girls, since going off the pill 2-3 months ago, I have been getting the most intense pains every month when I ovulate. Like seriously hectic, so bad that I can't walk. And then the next day I'm constipated (TMI!! SORRY) ?!? And my skin is also not so great. I really don't want to go back onto the pill because it completely drained my sex life and I was SOO moody. ANy advice?

Oh I had to laugh the other day...the rihanna and eminem song came on...my child knows the whole chorus.lol. I was like...um okay...we need to find the barney dvd`s and cds again!

Lisha well the lg must be learning that stuff somewhere! Shocking! But they're like sponges these kids! Thank goodess we've never had an f-bomb dropped!

Lol @ frog julz! I think they all say it like that in the beginning. And for us truck used to be ”kak”! Lmao!

Hi ladies

Vix I'm glad jono is latching now...hopefully it'll continue! Nice of your mom and babycity voucher!

Lisha that sounds so cute...the dancing and bowing!

Julie we have a 3 man tent so we should try that camping...well g and addy!lol.

Helen oliver sounds so cute with the gifts!

Zee a fridge? Wow that's generous! I are really blessed with good mom and mil! Lucky fish!

We`re almosyt 100 percent potty trained. Addison is actually not weeing durting the night. During the day she asks to poo and wee...we go out in panties and don't even pack nappies in.

Yesterday we walked past cinema and addison goes: I want to go to movies now and eat popcorn!

This morning she says: we go beach and I swim in a water!

I love the communication and she's doing much longer sentences now so she's really a little person. Everything is also: I must have it! I must take it.lol

So I got R1500 for my bday in total and was planning to get the jamie oliver book but its sold out all over:-( so ordered one. Then got addison a buzz lightyear for R489 which is a good price. Game did a price beat for me! Sdo at least I got my child something with my money! Lol. She loves him!
