Hi ladies!!!

Ag my little boy is getting so big - I bought him his first pack of underpants yesterday from woolies - ag jinne!!!

Ally - I'm with Christi on this one - I think sunday morning would be the PERFECT time to watch you on the telly!! LOL

Nicole - I'm sorry about the card fraud - its really atrocious was we as God-fearing, honest, law-abiding citizens have to put up with in this country where it comes to crime. I hope it gets resolved soon!

Vix - glad everything is going swimmingly with the twi-heads (twin-whiteheads).

gotta run - my bacon & egg sarmie is getting cold!! LOL

Nicole- that's really crap! thank goodness for payment notification or they would've kept spending and you would've never known! I'm sure you can get access to your salary if you go into the bank just won't be able to use your card.

Ally- busy busy busy, just hope one of these days you still find time for play dates LOL

Ally i am so incrediably happy for you, You have achieved so much, and you worked your a$$ off to get here, i am so glad you hard work is paying off!

Good luck with interview and sooo cool you get to review books

Thanx Vix and Julz. I am constantly smiling and i have this nervous-excited feeling in my tummy the whole time. I am just so incredibly blessed. I can't believe that all my dreams are all slowly coming true. I think the coolest thing is that next week I'm getting the new Jamie Oliver book pre-release for review.

I need to leave at 10 again today. Going to meet the CEO of Remax for an interview and photo's for their PR stuff.

Vix, you were absolutely right to go to the doc. Rather safe than sorry. When I was having those contractions when I was 33 weeks they were so faint but definitely there and every 5-7 minutes and C still said maybe it's nothing but I was too scared not to go.

Morning Mommies. So irratated, yesterday DH and I were wrapping up a meeting when his phoned went off with a message coming through and it was the bank showing a reserve for purchase for R889 at a liquer store, now DH and I hardly ever drink and if we do we certainly dont spend that amount of money, so he phoned the bank who said that purchase had about at that exact time so Dh explained it was impossible since he hasnt left the office and has his card on him, so it appears that somebody has cloned his card!!!!!!!!!We have cancelled the card but the problem is thats where his salary gets paid into now we wont have access to that money until he gets new card a week from today!!! His gone to the bank now to open up a fraudelent case etc. Just glad it wasnt of thousands off rands, and we should get the money back but only in 3 weeks time grrrrr okay vent over!

Vix i can imagine how stressed you must of been, but soooo cool of your Doc to be so calm and to reassure you so nicely. Im glad the tweenies are doing so well and that you got a clear view of their faces

Julz i can imagine getting the stiches removed must a been slightly tramutising. Glad D is back to his old self though.

Dam i have that R100 off a R300 purchase voucher from Reggies which expires today but dont think i will have the time to go wanted to get K an art set, colouring books/reading books and my cousins bday present with it

Morning ladies,

I couldn't get on Moomie from the PC or my phone yesterday so had a lot to catch up on.

So I went to the gynae yesterday, not for routine app but for 'paranoid mommy' app LOL On tuesday night I had a terrible night, my tummy felt so tender and bruised and crampy. Then the whole of yesterday I had felt no movement from either baby. I tried sitting for an hour then laying on one side still nothing so I turned over for another half an hour and still not even a twinge so I phoned Elwyn and he said rather phone the gynae to be sure. I usually wouldn't be so paranoid but I think having 2 babies and the higher risks just scare the crap out of me. The receptionist said I should rather come in for a check up but Dr is running really behind so I'll have to wait. After running around taking C to SIL I finally sat down at the Gynae and then I got this pressure feeling on one side and I thought, typical now they start to move but I didn't feel anything further in the next 2hrs of waiting. Elwyn was super stressed out and I kept trying to tell him it's fine I just want to check everything is fine but maybe they have both turned inward so I can't feel the movements. Finally I saw Dr at 5.20, man I love that guy he really puts my mind at ease even though he rips the pss out of me for my paranoia LOL But he also said rather be safe, I even had him concerned because why the sudden stop in movement when 2w ago they were perfect? So he checked the heartbeats and measured them again, he just shook his head and chuckled at me as he said they are still perfect in growth, no2 is measuring a few days smaller again but that's normal. He spent quite a while giving everything a good check over and making sure there really was nothing to worry about. I love that he was running so very late for his afternoon surgeriers but never once made me feel like I must rush out of his room. As much as it was a case of complete paranoia on my part he did say if I feel something isn't right he would rather check and see everything is fine than tell me to chill out. We got a really great view of the babies faces and man tweenie 1 instantly reminded me of C, he's a spitting image of what C looked like on the scans and twin 2 looks very different but as Dr says he must take after his mommy because tweenie 2 is definately the cutest looking one! I feel a bit silly after yesterday but at least reassured because I still haven't felt them move since and if I hadn't gone I really would've been in a state by now.

Ally- you must enjoy everything that is happening and all that is still to come, bask in the glory girl because if you blink for a moment you'll miss something, there is so much happening for you right now and it's fantastic! I don't know about this 'repeat' thing, I think I'm gonna get Elwyn to record E on sunday morning!

C had a propper haircut yesterday at a kiddies place and it was so much better, he was unsure of the lady messing with him but he didn't scream he just eye balled her the whole time and now my boy has nice short hair again! Spiked wit with gel yesterday and he melted mommys heart with his gorgeous looks! His eyes are so much 'bigger' with short hair it's adorable!

Nelria- man o man my heart is aching for you right now! C did that every single hour waking from when I went to bed and it drove me insane! I honestly don't know what to suggest because refusing boob at every other wake would probably be most ideal but that will obviously cause a lot of crying and then the trouble persues. What about if Brett slept out the room for a couple of nights while you 'sleep train'. O.k I think it's too early to fully sleep train but there can be no harm in cutting out every other feed, sounds to me like he's comfort feeding not hungry feeding especially if the pap has no real effect.

I have to put C back on the magnesium, I took him off it to see how he goes and ever since his wakings have got worse and they're turning back into waking cries and yelps so we'll see what a night or 2 on the mag again does for him. I'm not using the floradix though, that's way too expensive but just crushing a 1/4 dose of elwyns magnesium tablets and that seemed to work well.

Simone- wow Addy's flying butler tray incident sounds scary, probably good you weren't there to see it LOL
