Oct/Nov 2008 mommies!

Morning ladies,

Sorry I haven't wished you all a merry christmas and now it's over but I hope you all had a great weekend!

Jonathan had cramps again on saturday so I spent the whole day trying to sort him out. Yesterday wasn't too bad.

Nelly- sorry you got stiffed on presents but at least you had a nice day and got nice things from DH and Mom. Thanks for coming down on Friday, was great to see you and C had such a great time playing with Lea, I can see how lonely he is when on his own. Xen is such a happy contented baby. I was just thinking you say Xen wakes 3-4 times a night? I suppose I shouldn't really complain then because the twins only wake twice between 10 and 7, the annoying bit is that it takes 1.5hrs for each feed.

Man I got bitten alive in bed last night and no matter how hard I searched I never saw the culprit, I could just hear him buzz around my ears when I laid down. He even bit my ear lobe, son of a biting mozzie.

Jonathan was terrible again today, he doesn't seem to sleep just cry and moan the whole friggin day. I know I should be grateful it's only daytime and I still get to sleep at night but it's real difficult to wash bottles and steralize never mind find time to express when he is in the arms the whole time. Thankfully I have a vibrating chair which helps for a few min whilst I express. I'm having to express at least every other if not every feed, firstly because Alex won't drink if my breasts are too full and secondly because I need so much milk for Jono. Shattered but I must say, so far so good I'm impressed at having not gotten too stressed out and that fuzzy head is staying away. The iron definately makes a huge difference. I stopped taking it about 10 days after the birth and started to get the fuzzy head so I bought some more and voila I've felt fine since. Only bad thing it costs more than anti depressants but I'd rather avoid the PND than try to cure it.

O.k too exhausted to continue replying tonight, will finish tomorrow.

hi everyone

I've logged in a few times already today but hit a complete BlAnK when I attempt to post something!

I hope everyone has had a fantastic Christmas!

Have a missed anything interesting? Is everyone still OK? The kiddies still OK?

HI gals.

Our Christmas was really lovely and we all ate until we couldn't anymore.

My brothers etc. are packing, they're leaving tonight at 1am coz my poor SIL has to work again on Wednesday. I'm sad they're leaving. My older brother and I actually bonded a lot which is something we don't often do. He's a very closed book type of person but he really opened up to me and chatted a lot. And on the other hand my younger brother and his gf have been irritating us all so I'm happy they're going. He's never been very helpful but with her he's even worse. They moan when they have to sweep or pack the dishwasher once when we all do it all the time. And she is so farking disrespectful. It might be stupid, but I asked her to put all the placemats on top of each other and then roll them up so they don't get creases, she then rolled them individually so I told her there's not enough space for them in the drawer if she does it like that so she must please stack them first and then she said "If you're going to tell me how to do it, then do it your-fucking-self!" I was SO shocked! Especially since I'm always driving them around and going to go fetch her etc. But no more of that once I'm back home. Little biatch!
We've all been saying that when you go away with your partner's family (especially at the beginning) you work your ass off to impress them. All she does is eat and eat and eat, sits on my dad's lazy boy all the time and NEVER smiles coz she hates everything. Typical teenage bullshit. Can you tell I'm irritated.

But luckily my aunt, uncle and cousins are coming tomorrow and they are so much fun to be around. Will be taking my cousins to Knysna some time and I can't wait for that.

Other than that, not much happening here today. The weather is miff and the excitement of Christmas has finally caught up with me and I'm utterly tired. Can't wait to jump in the shower just now and maybe nap with the twins. They slept for 3 hours yesterday so let's hope they repeat that today.

NELRIA!!! FECK I keep forgetting to say HAPPPYYYY BIRTHDAYYYY!!! I want to log in the whole time to come say happy birthday but I keep forgetting. Sorry you didn't get many presents from the fam. I always say it must be crap to have your bday on xmas. I have 2 other friends who also have their bdays on the 25th. My friend always says it's quite hard to compete with Jesus on your birthday lol.

Hi ladies

Seems us ladies got just as spoilt as the kiddies! Lol. Mandy that`s my current perfume and I love it so have to say your hubby has great taste;-)

Nelria that sucks re: one gift from siblings when u buy for them all year! I would have told them off! Glad u got spoilt from brett and your mom,etc.

Lelani that's a lot of bling u got there my friend! Go marius!

Our lunch was divine! Must say my lifestyle changes make that I can't overindulge. I ate no more than I would for a normal supper or lunch!

I'm still so flippin tired though...I need 3 days of sleep I tell u!

Lelani I meant to share this story the other day...seeing as everyone knows our situation and ooh la la! Lol

So I was sick the night before my birthday with what I think was mild food poisoning. After my last session in bathroom at like 4am I couldn't sleep so I realised no time like the present...now tell me that`s not dedication? Lol

Vix I hope u really didn't have to do much on xmas day and u had helping hands. Hope all your boys are well!

Hey all,

Can honestly say that this was the best christmas I can remember! ( and I always LOVE christmas! ) Everyone just gelled and there were no fights or irritated family member, just happiness and LOVVEEE _ okay I will stop with the soppyness! We decided to get Cameron his bed and bedding so no main present from us but lots in his stocking to keep him busy, and of course the family spolied him! And hubby and I managed to get our gifts right, he was really happy and so was I - absolutely spoilt from hubby - vouchers for sandton city, perfume - Jadore!, Levi demi cut jeans, and new jodi piccoult book - besides stunning stuff from rest of my family and lunch was so devine too. Also cameron has stopped hurting his cousins and fighting with them and now its just laughter and fun!

Anyway gals sooo happy we had a good day and I wish that you all had the same..

Lwasi - Amu mamavas - how devine!! See it was all worth it in the end!,

Nel - sorry you STILL have lack of sleep and hope it comes right soon! Your family are sooooo bad with your birthday, sorry man!!

Helen - Guys - helen has avoided giving both Oliver and Nina the dummy so that they can self sooth!! ( Very Clever) so she loaded a pic yesterday of Nina finding her thumb, which will be a huge relief since she will find her own thumb and fall back to sleep a little more and hopefully give her mommy a break! Hope its working a little better, let us know Helen and congrats!

Ally - hope all the food was awesome, you must have been one busy lady!

Vix - did C like the bike?

Julz - glad dylan had lie in this am

Z - how did your christmas go with your family?

Nel, Simone, Lenani - glad you all had a great day !

our christmas was lekker my b-day like always is a downer as I have to share the day with the world but hey what can one do

brett got me some nice (cheaper this year as I kakked him out last year over expensive costume jewlerry - dont see the point) jewelerry a red and silver necklace, 2 sets of earings, bracelet and ring and some shower gel, my mum made me a stunning black duvet cover and got a jeep shirt from boet - so as u see it doesnt add up lol considering I have 6 brothers and susters but since they dont do x-mas gifts they conveniently forget my b-day pressie grrrrrrrrrrrr but I give them one all through the year WTF!!!

lea and xen had stunning day spent it all day in pool and I made a lovely lunch with a massive roast YUMM!!

re - end of the year b-days (vix) I will strongly consider sending lea only later year she turns 7 so she doesnt play catch-up I was send at 5 and even though never struggled academically hated being 17 allyear so purely for that and it gives head start mentally as brain more mature in class my susters kid is born in sept and she says even she can see differance from beginiing of year kids to hers developmentally in one year in school

ok shit tired now - xen had horrible night I maby slept 3 hours grrrrrrrrr cant wait for paed to get back to get sleeping prescription man had enough after 3 yrs of crap sleep
