Oct/Nov 2008 mommies!

Kiss for my brother:

Some more pics for you (lelani, you'll be pleased to see one of these...)

Christopher Holding Alexander for the very first time:

Ah vix that is so frustrating and it is essential. I suggest you go in there and bully then into solving your problem because jono needs you right now and it must break your heart to get bonding and then have it pulled out from under you.

Yoza glad you go to meet Simone and Addy. Wish they lived in CT. Sadly I am leaving on the 11th and only return on the 21st then there is xmas and I will be completely exhausted from the trip.

I fly to Delhi then the very next day I fly to Mumbai for 3 days where I have meeting after meeting scheduled and Lisha knows how long it takes to travel so I don't think I am going to get time to even look at Mumbai or shop. Then I fly back to Delhi for more work and while I am there I need to keep up to date with all my couples and donors for the planning of the June trip so hectic.

Neil is treating me to an awesome xmas present. He is taking me for a pamper day to the Crystal towers spa. 5 star bliss. I thnk we will go after I get back. I am going to need it.

ag vix, I'm so sorry xxxx
but please just follow Lisha's advise & talk to the nurse & explain to her the situation.....cant elwyn stay with Alex & C at home while you go to the hospital or maby in another waiting room??
what about Elwyn's sister??
I'm so sorry that things are now so hectic xxx
wish I had loads of money to come to jhb for the next 2 weeks!!
Really hope that you'll be able to sort something out with the nurse xxx

yoza, sorry sweety, all our weekends are booked up until next year & Julz is also leaving on the 11th.

nicole, hope everything works out for you guys xxx

gotta get going....hope you all have a wonderful eve
lots of love

Oh no man Vix you really don't need added stress at this time. I hope you can make some plan to spend time with Jono everyday. Has your mum gone back home?
Perhaps speak to the hospital manager and explain your situation and that you really wouldn't ask if you had any alternative.
I'm sure they will understand that for Jono to flourish he needs his mummy more than anyone else.
Wish I could find you someone to babysit C for a few hours a day.
Sending you loads of hugs and praying for a solution for you and your family xxx

Hi girls,

I haven't had time to catch up yet but i just have to come here to have a huge cry with someone...............

I have proven my method for coping was not such a stupid one after all.

Everyone was pushing for me to bond with Jonathan and not distance myself so since friday/saturday i have been doing just that and i have been getting so excited to see him everyday and now it looks like i may just not get to see him hardly at all.

The head sister at the NICU is back and her rule is this, i can bring Alexander along but he must stay in the viewing room but someone must stay with him at ALL TIMES so if i go it has to be with DH so when i am beside Jonathan he can be with Alex in the very next room. sounds fine until you add C to the equasion.............. C is not allowed in the NICU not even in the viewing room which i totally understand but if DH has to come with me to watch Alexander then who can look after C? So ultimately I will not be able to go and see Jonathan because i will have to stay home and look after C. DH can go whenever he pleases because he doesn't need to traipse Alex everywhere with him so he's going on his way out to work and his way home.

So now i have finally started forming a bond with him i won't hardly get to see him over the next few weeks.

I knew something like this would happen and now I'm heartbroken. How the hell is a mother of twins supposed to cope when they are both in different places?

GRRR ladies, I have been on here a few times today but it's one of those days again were everything just keeps going wrong!!

Glad you guys had a nice meet with Simone - I wish I could meet you guys!

Ok, I'll try and catch up and chat tommorow!

Have a nice evening everyone!
