Oct/Nov 2008 mommies!

Vix I knew Jono had his own plans...he wanted to be nice and settled by xmas!!! lol @ your impatience getting you twins! Will try and remember that to keep the impatience at bay!

Shocking re: your mom hey?? Trying to make everything about her?? I actually have no words...its sad that at a time like this she is more concerned with attention for herself vs focusing on you and the boys

Hmm Christi...the job have any pros? vs paycut and more travel?? Sounds like cons to me!! lol. But maybe more scope for you? That is always something to consider.

Enigma I didnt think about that! lol. Ya best we hide those keys away. My aunt's niece did that...my aunt was dying of cancer and very weak...went to the loo and the little girl locked her in the bathroom! She was stuck there for ages...shame.

Nicole I go off tomorrow. But we arent going away..>CT was our holiday. I agree re: technology.....its bad actually! When we have blackouts I just dont know what to do with myself...I feel like I'm stuck in the middle ages??? lol

Okay so Gerard and my mom took Addison to the mall with a panty on, no nappy. We've done shorter trips...like 1-1.5hrs...but not longer...so will be interested to see how today goes! lol.

Hi Everyone,

Vix, peanutbutter... would be the most obvious to me as it may cause gas Also at BF class they told us no choccies except the milky bar (white) ones. And then anything that would normally cause gas like beans, onions etc as well as coffee. Mmm, you may still have just about everything but just in smaller amounts as their bodies are so little they struggle to handle what we would see as normal amounts.
Well, I must say I am truly impressed with Jonathans weight gain!! Hope he will be home soon and that all your boys will be good for their mommy!

Mandy, YAY on going on leave!!

Nicole, glad you enjoyed your birthday! May you have many more..

Simone, Addy sounds sooo grown up!

AFU, went for a work interview this morning... Seems like a nice place but there is a few pro's & cons I need to weigh up even if they want to appoint me. It would be a half day job as opposed to my full day job now, but the gross salary will be at least R500 less than I earn now. And I will drive about 20km further each day... mmm....

Think I told you yesterday that they started taking out the old floor & wall tiles... Well, guess what! Underneath the floor tiles there is only sand!!! Can you believe that!! I was soooo flippen furious! Now we have to put in a new screet before we can tile again So its taking extra time & money... But at least we know that we are doing it properly this time.

Ally, sound like you are really enjoying your holiday!

Ok, off to watch some videos now as I cant really go anywhere because I need to walk through the kitchen and I cant while they are putting in the new screet...

Simone- I too hope BFP's are in the not too distant future for you and Ange. I feel your anguish when AF arrives each month. Just keep doing the funky chicken dance and soon you'll get your BFP, mine took 7 months this time around and look, for my impatience I was sent 2 little rascals LOL

Nicole- it's so true, I left my phone at home when we went to the gynae yesterday and I was soooooo lost I was like half a person LOL When we have power cuts I get so bored, it's like my house is dead without a disney movie on in the background LOL

Enigma- sorry about Zaid's 'night mares' or I suppose they're more 'awake mares' hey? Poor boy. C is definately in the make believe mind frame these days. Are you planning on a birthday party for Zaid?

Nicole- yay for last working day of 2010!!!!!!

Simone- I hope this week flies for you so you can enjoy your leave!

Mandy- it's that time of year where everyone just snaps at one another, it's the same on the roads everyone is in such a hurry and so full of cr@p they cut you up then still have the cheek to swear at you. I can't wait for this week to be over and all the idiots can take their tension to the coast. I love JHB this time of year, it goes so quiet cos everyone goes away.

Simone do you go on holiday now as well?

Vix so glad you are feeling better today and double YAY for Jono hitting 1.8kg!!!!!!!!!!!! So his he coming home this weekend, oh my the reunion between the two brothers his going to be pricless!! and C gets to meet his other brother. xxx

Julz hope everything is going well in India.

I was saying to dh its scary how we depend on technology/appliances etc, i feel frikken lost with our double door fridge we using a mini chest freezer at the moment just to store our veggies, cooldrinks and K's juice, milk and yogurt and our milk, it has space for nothing else. When its fixed on friday we need to go grocery shopping AGAIN!!

Christmas shopping is all done besides for my mom, need to find something for her. then still need to wrap about 15 presents eeeeek. but will worry about that next week.

Shame i am so excited for Lwasi for next week to reunite with Amu.

Happy Belated Birthday Nicole &that is an awesome gift

Simone -I wonder 2 what it really was that had him so freaked out shame my poor boy .ADDY is really tall now you should be taking those keys out in case she locks you guys in or out !!!!! lol No Bottle hey and no milk .Addy you making me feel guilty !!!!

Mandy thank you for the advise I will try that if tonight is drama again !!!! He is now at that make believe stage cause he is feeding me and prentends there is foofd in his hands ....

Lish -thanks for sending a good night rest to me

Nicole I am so jealous you are on leave from today!!!

Re: K...maybe a phase? Sorry no advice this side. We dont (TOUCH WOOD) have a problem with her hitting us and really acting out. She'll demand an ice cream maybe...but we can distract her. Maybe try that...distract him with something else when he acts up??

Addison is so freakin silly. She was walking down the passage yesterday and 'falls' flat on the ground and goes 'oopsie'...then gets up and lo and behold...'falls' 5 seconds later followed by 'oopsie'...she did this all the way to the lounge until I jumped up, worried about her balance...I see she is THROWING herself on the floor going 'oopsie'...lol. I had to laugh at her!

Lisha I hope you finish your work!

mandy....last night I was lying in bed and realised I'd forgotten about you!!!!!!!!!!! Going to sort it out now. SORRY!!!!! i'm so bloody scatter brained!

Morning ladies,

So Jonathan has hit the 1.8kg mark today, we have been told to go for CPR training tomorrow at 10am so it looks like he will be home by the weekend! Dr has asked that I come in and start breast feeding him from today, well as much as I can because I still have another baby to BF and a toddler to look after so I can't be in every 3hrs for feeds but I will try my best. I'm so excited my boy is all good to come home very very soon! I'm taking Alexander and Christopher to the pead tomorrow for a check up so will just confirm how much longer for Jonathan to be discharged.

I actually feel a whole lot better today, still sore but not nearly as much as yesterday.

Mmm so jono has cramps today but he's on expressed milk so it must be something I ate at the weekend so BF guru's which of the following would give baby cramps, Hot dogs with ketchup, tuna mayo toasties, Peanut butter & jam sarmies or Corned beef roast?

Enigma- This might be a hectic time but I do have a lot to be happy about so I'm trying to look at the positives. I am so lucky Jonathan has no health issues, he just simply was too small and under nourished because of his greedy brother LOL I seem to be over the baby blues stage, I was just so teary for the first week but now I'm fine, o.k was a bit teary yesterday when I was sore but I think that was out of fear that they would want to operate again. I am trying really hard to keep my thoughts positive and not let life stress me out, the last thing I need is PND again.

I'm so jealous of Ally right now because our weather is really dreary and I could use some holiday sun after 4 days of this........

Julz- I hope Dylan has settled down a bit now and isn't giving Neil too much of a hard time. Thanks for the update on Leigh the other day, I'm really pleased for them! Send my regards when you get a chance. Oh and thanks for your message on FB, wish you could hug me right now too LOL I'm so happy!

Nicole- did we miss your birthday on sunday? Sorry sweetie! I had no idea, you kept that quiet! Sorry about the fridge, that's really crappy!
