Oct/Nov 2008 mommies!

Hi ladies

Good to be home.

Arrived at CT international on wed afternoon. It is amazing now and they have a walkway above that overlooks the waiting area so I could see Neil and Dylan and they could see me. Dylan's face lit up and he waved like crazy. When I came through he was so chuffed and it was all smiles. So flipping cute. Mostly I am so impressed with Neil for doing such a great job (apart from not washing Dylan's hair once which was obvious) Dylan was happy etc. No hassles at all. Goes to show how important it is for parents to parent equally . You never know when one may need to be elsewhere and it is good to know Dylan will be fine.

Arrived home with flu and feeling quite awful to be honest. Got so badly bitten by mosquitos so watching for fever and will be tested if it does happen. I have bites everywhere and am allergic to them so they are nasty bites so I doped myself yesterday. Feeling groggy still but will take it easy for the next couple of days.

India is amazing and I am missing the kind people already. Funny how their driving is insane yet I feel more scared of the drivers here.

Helen thinking of your sil. Keep us posted and I hope that Oliver gets better too. x

Angelique thinging of your sil and cousin too. Difficult times ahead so strength to you.

Lelani hope you are recovered from your op.xx

Leigh take it easy. Thinking of you and your family and what they are all going through. Again. So sad for you my friend.

Jessican good luck with scan.

Wow Nicole not long to go now. Sounds as if all the plans are in place and it is going to be amazing.

Yoza glad Siba is enjoying school and hugs to Bhule.

Lisha Shrey sounds too cute. Hope he lets go of the boob soon. xx

Vix wow you have done so well with christopher and the potty training or not really potty training. We haven't even started yet but I think it will be easier in summer. Still cold here.

Simone so pleased that addy is sleeping so well. she is so strong and independent.

Ally yay on your job opportunites. Congrats. the hard work is paying off now.

Nelria love the photos. Xen is so cute and Lea looks like an awesome big sister.

Angies cj sounds too cute for words. xx

Mammalala welcome!!!

I know I am forgetting some people and I am sorry but I will chat again later.

Ladies they are selling moomie t shirts for 120. It would be nice if you could support our forum. xxx

Thanks girls but i can't take credit for the colour of the fabrics, Nelria supplied those!

wow limited space already at 23w? i hope not, I'll mention it to the gynae next week when i go but as long as they are moving even just a little I'm happy. Sadly i kind of take the philosophy that before 28w there really isn't much in my own control because they won't survive if they come out too soon but hey 5 more weeks and I'm there so.....

Ally- why must it be left until 5th Oct? Can't you guys do the shoot before then? will be a bummer if they postpone.

Shame, i had lowered C's dosage of poo tea and it seemed to be working but now he had the biggest cloggage I've seen in months, poor baby it must have been slowly accumulating a bit each day. I had to squeeze his poo out so hard he was screaming in pain, oh well back to the runny poop dosage

but there is truely nothing more heart breaking than that after cry! the sob sob trying to talk through the sob sob tears. I said do you want some milk? and he said "sob sob Nilo (milo) sob sob, then the longer it took me the more the lip started to hang and it became "sniff sniff, sob sob, niiiiiiiiloooooooo, sniff sniff" LOL it was cute in a heartsore kinda way LOL These babies really are becoming big kids now hey!

Ally we have such a busy weekend ahead. Sataurday morning we have to go to a mall and get my cousin a present for his 2nd Birthday, was thinking of getting him an outfit and a book. Then we also have to get my bro and sil thank you gifts, I am getting my bro a ps3 game (he is such an addict) and them my sil a music dvd plus some chocolates, biltong, champagne etc that they can share. Then i need to find a bra that has no back to it because of the way my dress is. ALso need to find a nice clip for my and my flower girls hair.

Then at 15:00 on Saturday is my cousins birthday party. Sunday we will take K to the touchfarm and then my dads coming for a visit. then its doing the washing etc.

Ally holding thumbs that the editors baby stays put so you can do achieve the shoot and that

Hi mommies.

No new news this side. Twins still being naughty, fighting and being cute all the time. One minute I want to kill them (like now coz they're fighting), the next I want to snuggle them to death coz they're being so cute!

Vix, C and I are also really into the ancestry stuff at the moment. Ancestry.com is kind of cool. My gran wrote all the birth dates of all her family but the last one she got was 1878 or something.

Nelria, the pics are too gorgeous! Can't believe he's already 3 months old.

What does everyone have planned for the weekend? We aren't doing anything. We have to clean the patio and I have to develop all the recipes for the Easter shoot. Although I'm abit worried about it now, the editor is scared that leaving it until the 5th of Oct is too late because she's already had 1 scare with false labour so I'm just hoping she can hold that baby in. Otherwise I'll only be doing a shoot for them next year

MOrning mommies. Flip K was sooo restless last night My back is so sore because he wanted to cuddle his mommy so i had limited space to move.

Angie i am only taking the day before the wedding off, because i need to get my nails and feet done plus collect all the wedding gear etc.

Vix I am sure the twins are moving less because space is proberly starting to become restricted now. But i agree with Elwyn you need to relax!!!

Nelria i love the photos, Xen is way to cute for words.

Vix the outfit you made is absolutly divine, i love that colour blue

Yoza i am pleased to hear the Siba is doing well at school

Helen so sorry to hear about you SIL. HOlding thumbs that she will be okay!

Jessica hoping the little bean is good to his/her mommy and opens legs wide open. Excited for you to hear the sex, once you know pleeeease come and let us know


Helen any feelings on what sex your baby maybe?

Last night df's father was there visiting and it going towards K bath time, so df's father was getting up to leave, but my rude child pulled him to the front door, pointed and said "go" and then in the sweetest voice "bye bye" and waving merrily, we all had such a good laugh

Hi Everyone,

Nelria, those pics of Xen is sooo cute!!!

Vix, awesome outfit you made for Xen!
What a nice idea for a gift for Elwyn.
Maybe the space for the tweenies to move is becoming a bit less and that is why they are more quiet?

Jessica, hope your little bean reveals all on Monday....


Mandy & Helen, sorry to hear your babies are sick, hope they both get better real sooooon.

Hi to Angie, Julz, Simone, Yoza, Ally, Zee, Pfairy, Lelani mmm can you believe it now I can't remember the other names Well, hi to everyone else

Hope you all have a fantastic day & weekend!
Starting classes tomorrow

Hey guys,

Angie- thanks for the compliment, if you check out the competition page there is actually a comp running with a christening dress and little suit on there, If I get the time I'm going to run off a load of christening outfits to sell whilst I'm taking ML, might just give me a few extra bucks over Christmas.

Yoza- So glad to hear Siba is enjoying school, I think the extra stimulation is great. Sorry Bhule isn't sleeping so well I'm sure the protien will make a difference.

Nelria- Elwyn loved the pic of Xen asleep in the bath!

Nicole- I think most people feel like you before the wedding, it doesn't matter how long you have been planning it for everything is always such a rush in the weeks before. I was still altering bridesmaid dresses the night before mine. Just make sure when you wake up in the morning the only thing that matters is the day ahead and that you enjoy it without stressing how it'll go.

The tweenies have been very quiet since my runny tummy episode on wednesday night. I was actually very worried yesterday, I hadn't felt them at all so by 1 I went and laid down for a bit to check and then they started moving but definately a lot less than they have been. They were still last night and this morning. So now it's either something to do with me swapping back to the stronger iron or they have just taken for a quiet few days. I think one has moved very low because if I feel anything during the day it's an occasional kick to the Cervical area. Hubby is telling me I need to STOP and start to take life a little slower but I honestly don't know if I can stop completely, I'm so used to doing stuff all the time to suddenly sit on my backside is going to drive me mad.

Jessica- I'm also very excited to hear the news on your bean's sex! What time is your appointment on Monday?

Angelique- oh man, so so sorry to hear about your SIL, I really hope the bedrest works and she can get her stitch at 14w. Makes me very thankful for the strong pregnancies I have and am expperienceing, sometimes a reality check like that is needed for us to realise how fortunate we really are. I don't think anyone is fully day trained yet, C is still learning but far from day trained, more like odd day trained. I'm hope the 3 months left to the Tweenies arrival will be enough to have C day trained though. Yesterday he was a little constipated and after he passed each little hard ball of poo he took me to the bedroom to change his nappy so hopefully that's a sign he's ready to think about pooing on the potty.

Elwyn is really getting into the idea of family history and is now looking at fully researching his family tree. Thankfully his Oupa was a stickler for history so his wife is going to try and find all the info Oupa kept back to 1668 can you believe it? So I'm thinking to try and find a really nice family tree software package for DH as a Anniversary/birth of the twins prezzie.
