Oct/Nov 2008 mommies!

Morning all

Glad that you enjoyed the shower. You ladies deserve all the treats.

Vix: i aslo use to go into buhle chest of drawers after the shower you guys threw for me. So i know the feeling. I would look at all the cute stuff.

Julz: The spa treatment sounds heavenly. How is dylan doing. maybe he teething.

Mandy: I could just picture myself at the shower with that breakdown

Simone: Oh I get pissed when parents leave their kids and not discipline them. I always worry cause siba never hits to grabs stuff and when that happens to him he always looks shocked at what is happening.

Ally: Damn i missed your interview

AFM: Buhle turned 7months yesterday. She is learning how to crawl but she now pushes herself with her bum to move around. Its so funnyand cute. you leave her in one spot and you will find her in another spot.

Saw leigh again on saturday she baked a cake for me. She is so good. Her cakes are divine

Siba is sick he has a temperature and is coughing so bad. he is so miserable always crying. Im not going to take him to the doctor. I have all the meds. I gave him a suppository and that helped with the temperature. I just need keep him at home so that he recovers he also has a runny tummy. he might be teething.

As for a runny poo what do you do he has never had that. I do have some rehydrant i made a mixture. I am also limiting dairy products. He was not eating and dring for 2 days. But this morning he had hi oatmeal.

Hello everyone,

Yes the shower was lovely yesterday! The kids are all so big already & such busy-bodies! Just a pity that someone left the doors of hell open as it was excrutiating sitting in the heat like that - shame the kids were getting so hot & bothered eventually!

Bryce & Zian were in the jungle gym and would let Abi join the boys only clubhouse! Shame tog!

For the most part Bryce behaved himself, except when he overstepped the line with Christopher & Cam (twice) - 3rd strike got his ass paddled by mom and after him crying very heartbroken for a few minutes he had to go say sorry to the friends. Sorry but that is one thing that I will not tolerate, ESPECIALLY if I see it for myself, is Bryce being mean to other kids or smacking!! NO NO NO!!

And I especially won't put up with him hitting me - he must learn from an early age BOYS DON'T HIT GIRLS. He's tried it a few times with me and I've given him a hiding everytime, so that nipped it in the butt.

The concept of sharing is still very alien to him - gotta sort that out, he shares with me though but has to still learn to share with other kids.

Ah vix I remember unpacking dylan's cupboard over and over again looking at all his things.

Simone I am afraid dylan is one of thoes NO Mine kids!!! He was playing at spier and he was quick to take chips from this stunning little girs but when she sat next to him he pushed her off the seat.

This is what kids to at this stage, but yes the parent should certainly stip a child actually hurting another. If it is a no mine issue then it is sometimes best to let the kids sort themselves out. Mom won't be there at school to do likewise.

If I want it,
IT'S MINE!

If I give it to you and change my mind later,
IT'S MINE!

If I can take it away from you,
IT'S MINE!

If it's mine it will never belong to anybody else,
No matter what.
If we are building something together,
All the pieces are mine!

If it looks just like mine,
IT'S MINE!

If it breaks or needs putting away,
IT'S YOURS!

Simone- I'm the same, i was accused of being a helecopter paret at the wedding on sat because i was everywhere with my child, well me or Elwyn, even when he wanted to play on the dance floor with the other kids i stood there by him. I don't want to hear someone screaming my name when they see my child fall into the river or smack his lip open on the dance floor, these things happen to kids but i want to be there if and when it happens to prevent or try to fix it myself. I don't care if people think I'm obsessive, he's my responsibility no one elses! And that includes discipline.

The rib pain is fine, it's only in the night when they have spent the whole day putting pressure on the ribs. Ironically it's worse when I'm upright sitting or standing, you would think the babies would hang down away from the ribs but actually they push forward on them, when i lay down the babies fall into the cavity of my body and further away from the ribs. I remember i had the same thing with C but obviously it was a lot later in pregnancy but probably when i was about the same size i am now.

last night i was a real aching moaning murtle as i got into bed it was like 'ooooo' ahhhhh grunt grunt but today I'm back to my regular daytime non aching self LOL

i have a big exercise ball and i like to lay back on that and roll around and that also really helps push the babies away from my ribs and stretch my back.

Simone- no AF yet?

Vix my cousin had her shower this weekend as well and I just said to her...its probably so cool looking and repacking the stuff over and over! I had my first shower VERY early....at 22 weeks...and it just made me want Addy here so much more...cause you can already smell them and picture them in outfits now!

I am really glad you got spoilt;-)

how is the rib pain?

re: the child...his mom was right there while he was trying to hit Addy with Buzz and grabbing it even from G, She did nothing. his dad would have sorted him out but he wasnt there. I also dont have a problem with anybody telling my child she is being naughty...but I for one sort her out if she is trying to be selfish...I always keep an eye on her.

Morning ladies!

My boy slept through so this morning i am feeling bright and cheery and full of conversation so go get yourself a cup of coffee before you continue further LOL

WOW, well i just can't stop walking into the tweenies bedroom and admiring all the goodies we recieved LOL, don't you all remember doing that the 1st time around? i didn't think it would happen like that the second time but i'm finally starting to get REALLY REALLY excited about the tweenies arrival now!!!!

I had nothing except the few bits i had made for the Tweenies and now..........I have a cupboard full of goodies from toiletries, to spoek doeks, clothes, toys and even wipes and nappies. I am so grateful for all your generosity, wow, really beautiful gifts thank you guys!

Zamzie was great to see you again! you have the cutest preggy figure i have ever seen, i think you should go up as a preggy model, you look stunning!

Mandy- Cam is soooo independant and talkative now! he really surprised me, in the past few months he's really gone from baby to mommys little boy! He's soooo tall too! Gorgeous!

Jessica- bugger it, i forgot to bring through those maternity clothes, I am such a looser sometimes, always forgetting something! Will bring them next time! Thanks so much for ALL those toiletries, wow, the tweenies are really going to smell like real babies, shame my poor C didn't get baby toiltries for long but the tweenies goodies from you will last a looooong time!

Lelani- cool to see you again mate! i hope you're enjoying your last day of JHB but I'm sure you'll be pleased to get home!

Ally- i am so excited to get these twins outta my tummy and into their home coming turtle outfits! Elwyn had a chuckle and said they will be my 2 'torties' meaning willys LOL gorgeous but to think they will be soooooo small!

Nelly- still feel really bad about running off like that and leaving you with the mess so i will definitely come make a stop for coffee by you, maybe we must even take the kids to Jingle Jangle one day with Natalie?

Simone- sorry that boy was so nasty to Addy, some parents just don't keep an eye over their children so they don't even see how selfish their children are being. But kids will be kids and i always rather tell that child myself that he's being selfish and he must share, if his mommy doesn't like it then toughies! I will never smack anyone else's child but i will tell them off if they doing something wrong, i would like anyone else to do the same with C if he was being nasty and selfish or hitting.

Julz- sounds like your Sunday was lovely! I can't wait actually to get to Nov so me, Elwyn and C can enjoy our last few quiet weekends together. I still want to take C to the Zoo before the tweenies come. I love a good picnic!

I had a dream on Friday night that i went into labour but by the time i got to hospital my Dr said Tweenie1 was already crowning so i should just go for it and i had the twins naturally, it was actually a stunning dream and not at all scary but just so inspiring but i do know that my chances of that happening are virtually nil because these boys are both transverse and there won't be room for them to turn.

Simone I usually only use facebook photos. Maybe send the photo to facebook and then copy it over. I know it sounds like a long way around but facebook resizes the photos.
