Oct/Nov 2008 mommies!

Where has the time gone to already three years so freakin unbelievable. Happy birthday to shrey. Iknow mummy and day will spoil you wrotten. many more blessed years.

Hey ladies

Thanks for the wishes for my big boy. Cannot beleive 3 already!!! Was saying to Vix last night that we're getting old too lol.
I was kind of emotional when we sang to him this morning but I kept it together. He was very excited to be blowing a candle and opening presents. Keeping his JD Bug bike till we get home at 1 ... he would not have given my mom a break if we gave it to him this morning.
Having the immediate family over for supper this evening so should be an exhausting evening. Also need to start on the cake. Will bake the cakes today and will decorate and ice tomorrow. Will say a little prayer first lmao.

Simone enjoy the test drive. Hope you guys like the car. Lol I agree with Julz re weight gain

Helen sorry to hear your mum will be leaving soon Hope it's an easy adjustment for you guys. So pleased that all is going well with the kids, hope Nina starts to settle better during the day.

Angelique pretty please we want to see pics of Cole & his little pony

Julz Shrey is also very temperamental these days It's so exhausting somedays. He can cry and moan at the drop of a hat and as soon as he gets what he wants the tantrum instantly stops. There's a lot of head butting in our house at the moment because I'm trying to be disciplinarian and my mum & dh are giving in to his demands ... makes things so difficult.
Did I say how jealous I am every time you go to India DH is adamant he won't go back there soon ... someday I'll go back by myself lol.

Okay I'm only here for half a day today so I'd best get my work over with.

Happy birthday Shreyan. Wow 3 already. Congratulations Lisha and Hubby on doing such a great job so far.

Simone 1kg. About time!! Nice that you have a bump.

Mandy have you found a house yet???

Got another meeting today. Gals are you having as much strife with your kids as I am. Dylan is sick again so not sleeping at all lately so that is probably half of it, but I swear he screams from the time he opens his eyes till bedtime. (well not quite) but he has such a temper! I am really struggling and I am tired so it really isn't a happy home at the moment. I am actually looking forwards to hopefully getting some decent sleep next week in India.

Happy Birthday Shrey! Lisha, may you guys have a wonderful day together! Enjoy your birthday boy!

Will catch up later gals, I'm off to JHB but will check in just now. xxx

MOrning ladies

Firstly...HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO SHREYAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WISHING YOU A BLESsED DAY Mr. Now 3 year old:) Lisha hope today wasnt too emotional for you!!

And so it begins....man our kids are growing up sooo fast!!!!!!!

Angelique you should totally taken a pic of Cole dragging the pony around.lol. Cute that he's so smitten with it though:)

Helen...I cant imagine how hard it'll be without your mom, BUT you will cope. Sounds like she was a real gem while she was here:) Enjoy the last month and a half!!

Lelani nice to see you friend! Glad you're enjoying the new job...and your family life sounds great...so glad you and M are doing so well

Nicole did you ever arrange that meeting with the parents? How is K now?

Ankia...ONE MORE DAY and then on maternity leave???? Oh wow!!! I am so wanting to go on leave already but only because I am feeling lazy...lol...no other reason.

This morning I weighed and I had put on 1kg. I actually cried...lol. BUt G just gave me a hug and told me to stop being silly. I stomped my feet like a 2yr old saying 'I'm FAT!!! Don't tell me not to be silly'!! But I can laugh about it now...he just kissed my stomach. All of a sudden I have a bump as well...so thats nice. Preggie hormones!

Taking the Cruze for a test drive in about 10 minutes:) Yay! THen the Audi on Saturday! So exciting!

Helen, sad that your mom is leaving soon but atleast she was a great help while she was here.

Julz glad that the meetings with your boss went well.

Lisha, I remember when we were still on pampers you disappeared for a while and the logged back on giving us the news that Shrey was born. I sure that you will do great with the cake...and even if it does not come out as perfect as you hope at least is was made with lots of love!!

Ankia, you are really doing great and I hope that your delilvery of your LG is not too stressfull for you either. Can't wait to see the pics of the new baby.

Zee, little time left for you too.

I am so tired today I can hardly keep my eyes open...hope that this day passes quickly...

Morning - well its afternoon now!!

Thanks for the input, I don't think I'm going to send a present, once I do it for one I'll have to do it for all and then its just going to get crazy.

Julz - How are you feeling now, are the meds helping? Glad things are going well with your job Is Dylan feeling better?

Lelani - really happy for you that things are working out with your new job

Simone - You are allowed to stress out about things every now and again lol, please don't feel embarrassed!! The internet can be a dangeroius thing at times and I'm sure all of us have been guilty of panicking after something we've read. It doesn't hurt to be informed, knowledge is power but maybe try researching the positive and ignoring the horror stories (easier said than done I know) And we are all here to listen

Lisha - Lol at being nervous doing Shrey's cake, I think I'm going to attempt baking for my two as well...not sure when I'm going to find the time but I'd really like to give it a go so we'll see.

Angelique - Lol at Cole and his pony, you have to show us a pic If only we knew the rhyme and reason as to why they get attached to things.

Zee- Only a few weeks left to go?! Wow! Hope you get some rest before your precious LB arrives. I can't believe you stayed at the wedding til 2am?! I would've murdered DH lol! We went to a wedding on Saturday and I was asking to leave by 10.30pm lol. Eventually tore DH away at 11.30pm and that was plenty late enough for me thank you!

Ankia - Good luck for D-Day, hope everything works out as you want it to!

Mandy - Have you had any luck finding a house? Hope something comes up soonest.

Nelria - Congrats on your studies - well done girl

Otherwise all is well in our household. My mum has finally booked her ticket home She leaves towards the end of October, man I'm going to really feel it when she goes, she's brilliant with the kids and a massive help around the house, I think I'll be a walking zombie until I get used to juggling everything once she leaves. Oliver's talking is coming along, its so nice to understand more of what he's saying and his teacher says he is finally joining in all the songs etc at playgroup and he tries singing some of them at home now which is very sweet. Nina is precious, she says 'ta' now when I give her something and the cutest is byebye mama when I leave for work, shame, she's just starting to understand that byebye mama means mummy is leaving so now she's getting a bit upset when I say byebye but I guess that's to be expected. She's getting a bit of a fusspot and wants to feed herself which is frustrating (for all of us!!) but she is Miss Independent so what can I say. She's getting very frustrated that she can't crawl, she's desperate to get around but just can't seem to suss it out. She's still a terrible day sleeper, she's like the energizer bunny and goes until she drops. She even sits up in her cot and plays and plays until she drops, I've lost count of how many times she's fallen asleep in her cot sitting up!! Only problem is when she sleeps really badly during the day she's then really overtired and is very restless when she does go to sleep usually until maybe 9pm, she stirs and then sits bolt upright and then screams her head off until I settle her. Oh, and she's nice and healthy, when we went for her injections she's weighing in at 10.75kg and is nice and tall at 74cm I wonder if she's going to be taller than me...? She's wearing 12-18month clothes and also comfortably fits into her 18-24month too.

Anyways, must leave it there, my tummy is rumbling so lunchtime for me Hope you all have a good day
