Oct/Nov 2008 mommies!

Zamzie I'm so glad the little one has grown a bit and hopefully will continue growing! Yip my birthday is tomorrow. How old is your dh?

Oh vix I don't know what to say...I worry so about one day having a newbor...so I can't still imagine what u are going through. I hope it will get better soon. Its crazy that he isn't sleeping hey?? Nothing u can give him..I'm assuming the cramps are keeping him up?

Hope he's exhausted tonight and sleeps well!

Hi all,

Sorry I have been reading, it's just difficult to reply with a screaming baby in my arms which basically sums up my past 2 days. Jonathan I fear is developing colic, so much for 'easy' babies this time around! I was not struggling too much until these cramps started and now........ Well let's just say I'm pretty pissed right now. Jono has slept a total of ........ Ooooo........2 freaing hours since 7am and it's now 8pm. He screams if I don't hold him and pat his back constantly. I can do NOTHING including feed Alexander properly. I swear I must have been very bad in a past life. I haven't even had time to express milk today so now I sit with no milk for Jonathan so he is on formula til tomorrow. It actually makes me just want to stop bothering to express anymore because I am totally Gatvol! It's like I'm feeding triplets, Alex on the breast, pumping for Jono then still bottle feeding Jono. I swear I am sooooo over the whole "wonderful joyful breast feeding experience" trip I was on before, There is nothing enjoyable about breast feeding a freakin piece of nipple sucking plastic all bloody day. I really wanted to be able to say I breast fed them for 6 months but I'm already tired of scrutinizing my diet every bloody time a baby cries, I'm starving hungry but now I am bearly allowing myself anything other than plain chicken and a starch and honestly it's crap! I don't have time to get creative with plain foods.

Simone at least you are getting something as bonus dear dont worry things will work themselves out . Is it your Birthday tomorrow? DH bday is on the 24th...

HI ladies

My check-up went well yesterday baby gained 200g he's 2.6kg now. I think he'll be around 2.8kg at birth. I was so happy even decided to go shopping today for DH bday pressy. Fortunately my sweet bil had some free time & drove us around and did a few groceries too so now I am officially broke but enjoyed it.

Keep well ladies and enjoy all your shopping & Xsmal love you all

Julz very happy you got back safely dear & SAA service is patheric when you are abroad. My friend really likes Emerates have never used them. Im sorry I did not know how serious your trip to India was forgive me.

Lelani that is shocking re: school stuff costing so much! Flip! Which movies did u watch? Sounds like a nice relaxing afternoon that u had!

Any updates from vix? And zamzie?

I'm in such a pickle...my bonus was pathetic to say the least...but that's not the problem. We only get paid salaries on 28th so not only did I have to pay cynthia just over half her bonus, but I don't have money to pay her salary before xmas. I mean that sucks! So had to make a rather desperate plan, but it had to be done so I can buy some groceries and pay cybthia at least.the balance of her bonus we`ll pay in the new year when g gets marking money. Lord willing it'll all sort itself out in the new year.

Otherwise its the big 30 tomorrow. Not really in the mood for my non surprise surprise party. Worried about where everybody will sit and my grumpy il`s and these friends don't like those friends,etc! Oh well. Hopefully i`ll get drunk on mojitos and not give a crap!lol

Hi ladies

Zee lol @ being summoned! Been busy spring cleaning and visiting, but been trying to read! I missed drama re: family. So sorry though about situation with your dad. Your colours and the chicken pie sounds divine!

Mandy yep the play land at kings beach. The bottom one though...the `upper` one does not have many rides for their age.

Helen so glad nina got that poop out! Poor baby.

Angelique I agree...better af than negative hpt. We decided we may wait til next year, but I have signs of ovulation so may just take another shot at it.lol

Lisha pics of weekend? Shreyan sounds so cute with peeping game!

Oh my word addison is being a brat here crying for chips...I'm tempted to smack her...but I know she's tired. She does not nap anymore since being off bottle and was up before 7am...her dad is trying to calm her down. She's gonna puke from this crying though!

Lwasi so today is the big day? Or tomorrow?

Julie oh my word...so lucky u got a flight! Re:mojitos...no mam...the best is in PE made by me!lol

Hi Ladies

Just had a nice long sleep after being utterly exhausted. I got back last night at about 6. Our plane had a technical issue in Dubai and we sat onboard for 2 hours while they fixed it so we missed our connecting flight from JHB to CT. SAA were useless as always and said they could only help us today at 2 but luckily we were booked through emirates who put us on standby and had we not caught a flight, would have put us up in a hotel etc. We got to the counter to put our names down for standby and the kind guy saw that we had been in transit for 24 hours and asked us to wait 2 minutes and then said okay there is a flight leaving now. RUN!!!! We were so lucky. The airport was hectic. Sorry Mandy for not letting you know. Had I been on my own I may have missed it on purpose to see you but I had to make sure my donor made it back home and I wanted to see my men.

Lwasi wow not long for you!!!!!!!

Angie sorry hon. I agree with you though regarding poas and then get a negative is an extra upset. Please tell me who got a bfp from the ttc side. I don't have time to chat there.

Mandy I am so jealous. Helen it sounds as if you are doing great. You must be so tired.


Simone mojito's are my fav. I am going to post a pic of the best I have had. Drank it in Delhi!!!

Lisha glad the bonus is sorted. Shrey sounds too cute.

Lelani ouch on the cost of uniform.

Ally your holiday sounds so amazing!!!

Zee sorry for all the upsets but glad it is worked out. Sorry about your dad too. So sad, but I can relate. My dad is an alcoholic and is such a nice man but will always choose alcohol over his family. x

Dylan found a bird in the garden. He was so sweet with it. We think it hurt it's wing so I took it inside. Dylan fed it some water on a spoon and stroked it and then fed it. He was honestly so precious with it. This morning he woke early and the first words out of his mouth were Mommy birdie. Off he went outside and found the bird. too cute.

Anyway must clean up and check emails etc.
