Vix you have done such an awesome job with the twins so far. I am so chuffed for you.


Simone well done on the diet. I am really impressed and I wish you a racy weekend.

Hello Ladies

Just a quick pop in as I have loads to do, mum comes tomorrow an I still have to do some finishing touches in her room lol - looks like I'm leaving absolutely everything to the last minute!

My appointment went well and I am very happy He says we can go for natural, he did an internal and says I have a very large pelvis lol so it shouldn't be a problem to deliver a larger than average baby. The head of the baby isn't humungus so hopefully it won't cause any problems, the baby's abdomen is pretty big but he doesn't see any issues with that. He says the chances of me tearing worse than I did with Oliver are slim so its a risk I'm prepared to take and he's happy for me to go for it. He's happy for me to have an epidural again although would prefer it if I can avoid it, I might not have time this time round anyway as the chances are I will labour pretty quickly again (it was only 3 hours with Oliver) and he says second time round is usually faster so we'll just have to wait and see. He reckons my cervix is almost ready for labour so he's said if nothing happens before my next appointment (24th November) then he'll do another internal and check the cervix and then if he's happy with that then he'd reccommend an induction on the 25th so as to prevent the baby getting bigger...we'll cross that bridge if and when I get there, I'm hoping the baby will come sooner than that Buuuuut its only allowed to come after I've got all the baby stuff ready and packed my suitcase of course lol! So fx crossed, now begins the waiting game

I just want to say a massive thank you for all your thoughts and words of support I'm so glad I have you in my life.

Have a lovely weekend everyone

I am so stupid, I thought we had a baby free day tomorrow and then I remembered it's my cousin's wife's bday at 16h00. So we only have baby-free day until 16h00 lol. Oh well. We'll just go earlier to see a movie.

Jess, you can add me to the list, but I'll have to confirm in Jan as I might be in CT that weekend for a blogger's conference, not sure of the date yet.

Mandy, I hope Cam's party is a MASSIVE success tomorrow! I'm so sorry we can't come!

Mandy does your hubby do work on the soapie generations. I see biart on the end credits

Simone: I was attending training this week and the focus was feature writing.

Im thinking of doing freelance work and start writing good feature articles. I love health related topics. A bit of motivation after attending the course.

helen: Oh my where has the time gone . You are going to have a baby a newborn I cannot believe. I do hope that whatever happens the delivery goes well.

Vix: LOL at C deciding to use the dogs' s dish. Hope you find the swim instructor im also looking for the kids

Lelani: Im glad that all is well with you on the home front and that chanel is working hard on her studies mummy must be proud.

Lisha: Its always stressful when our better halfs indulge we worry about their safe return. Lets hope DH is good.

Angie: I am croosing fingers the Dh gets the job. Will be praying for you my dear

If i dont log this weekend I would like to wish a happy bday to Cam and Amu. hope our little darlings enjoy themselves. Congrats to you ladies on a job well done its a hard one.

A big hello to all those I have missed.

What are the weekend plans Im doing the Discovery Big walk and the moomie meet at slattery's hope its fun.

hi everyone,

I know the silly season is FAST approaching and then before you know it January is here again and another year begins and back to the salt mines we go.... LOL

With all the activity & commotion that signals the next few weeks until January - knowing full well what a nightmare the next few weeks are with functions, friends, parties, lunches, family gatherings, holidays, traveling, more parties, etc etc.

But on that note I'm rather shocked to have fished out the following information by accident - my mom & one of my friends are canoodling & plotting (albeit not so secretively anymore) to throw me a baby shower next year on the 1st saturday in February (I think its the 6th). And as my other mommy-buddies, I would like to know from you guys if any of you would like to come too?

So, if you wouldn't mind sending me your e-mail address & cell no. to my works e-mail (jessica.richardson@nike.com) and I can put you on the invitation list.

I know this IS TERRIBLY forward of me and for that I apologise PROFUSELY - but I don't know a lot of people socially in PTA & JHB - other than a few family members that I never see anyway - But I do consider you lot of CrAzY birds my friends and would like to extend the invite to you too!! LOL
