Oct/Nov 2008 mommies!

Hello!

I can finally get on!

We are all on the mend, had a terrible night with Oliver on Tuesday so took him straight to the doc yesterday, looks like all the nasal congestion is allergies so he's given him a hectic medicine schedule but hopefully it should clear it up, my poor little boy hasn't been able to breathe out of his nose at all since Monday. He's now on Celestamine 3 x a day for 5 days, then he's got a nasal spray that's a mixture of Iliadin and something else also for 5 days then some scary sounding cortizone stuff (Flixonase I think its called?), one drop in each nostril just before bed and that we do for two weeks. I feel a bitwary giving him the cortizone but he is so heavily congested the doc thinks its probably the best thing for him to clear it up for now.

Ally - Congrats on the case of wine and I also haven't had a chance to say awesome news on the magasine stuff, things are really starting to happen for you, well done for all the work you're obviously putting in to it

Nicole - Wow I can't believe how quickly time is flying, the candle idea is lovely.

Like Vix and Ally we also didn't have a honeymoon We spent our wedding night at Monte Casino (a gift from my batchelorettes) and we thought we'd plan a honeymoon for our first anniversary but I was pregnant by that time We'll be celebrating our 3rd anniversary later this month and still no honeymoon in sight lol.

Lisha - You deserve a huuuuuge pat on the back, hang on in there mummy Its for the best, its bound to be emotional but you're doing really well on the weaning, take each day as it comes Can't believe he's going to be 2 so soon!!!!!!

Lelani - Hope you've recovered from the teeth extraction...eeeeeish!

Yoza - I'm glad Siba is doing so well at playschool Lol at wanting to kiss all the girls. Shame on Buhle and the sleeping, sounds like she's using the boob as a soother, must be tiring.

Angelique - All the best for your SIL, keeping FXFXFXFX for her and your brother that all goes well. And as for your cousin, wow, I also had a friend who had high BP and they had to do a c-sec at 30 weeks, her LB just celebrates his 6th birthday this month and you'd never know he was prem 1.3kg is tiny! Hope her and baby continue to do well.

Julz - Hope you've arrived back safely, can't wait to hear Dylan's reaction when he saw you Bet it was lovely

Simone - How's it going with your family living under the same roof? Is it just your mum or your sister as well?

Nelria - Love the pics on FB of Xen's christening, and as for passing out in the bath, LMAO!! And sounds like you have a little tomboy on your hands with little Lea wanting to be on the big jungle gym

My SIL has been doing really well with her chemo, or so it seemed, but she's been feeling pretty rough all week and having what I suppose can only be described as funny turns, she had a whole load of tests this morning to see how she's doing and when she got back home she had a seizure When she came round she didn't know who she was or who her mum or husband were or what was going on for about an hour, they're hoping its a calcium deficiency that's caused it (one of the tests came back to show a dangerously low level of calcium in her system as a result of the chemo) but she's now in ICU and they're trying to stabilise her as her organs are at risk of shutting down. They're hoping to do an MRI to tomorrow as there is a risk that the cancer might've spread to her brain, really crossing fingers that its not that...

Anyways, that's all for now, I've been typing this for over an hour now so I bet there's been loads of chatting since I started lol.

I can't wait for my scan on monday.....hopefully we can see the sex. But Bryce came up to me this morning while I was getting dressed & patted my stomach and said "boetie". mmmm could that be a sign?

Angelique, I will be keeping your SIL in my thoughts and prayers xxx

Ladies, I love the Minister lol He is an oldish man but he is brillant and soooo funny! Plus his given us this fantastic tip where he feels that parents should be included in the wedding so, we going to have a candle which DF Mom and My mom will carry together to us and there after give us a kiss, hug etc and then hand the candle to us, we will then light a new candle to symbolise our "new" life together as a family, thought it sounds really romantic Told my mom and her comment was "oh my word how am i going to control my crying lol" Then our dads will be witnesss to our marridge when we sign the papers

Angelique: I am so sorry about your SIL I do hope that this time she has a healthy pregnancy. My prayers for the premmie baby but im sure Lo will pull through.

Nicole: All the best with marriage counselling we only did one session DH did not like it. He felt to exposed. Dont forget the ANC. very important.

Lisha: Im sure its painfull weaning shrey but hang in there mummy.

re potty training: Once siba starts talking properly than ill start. as it is he has about three dirty nappies a day he has to be changed about five to six times. As for you ladies starting all the best.

Vix: how the tweenies treating you.

simone: Is Addy still obsessed with G

Angie: What did you and DH decide re the job offer in the northern cape

Zee: how are you and DH doing hoping things are settling for your hubby at work

Lelani: so whats the latest with you hoping you and DH are treating each other well

Enigma: where are you

Ara: Your hiding yourself

Zamzie: Just a quick pop in to say hello is just not enough we want a full update about you, Imanna, the baby.

Lwasi: Are you ready and packed for pakistan

Julz: Are you back, your quiet, and I worry when someone gives us the silent treatment.

A big hello to all of you ladies that I have missed. hope all is well.

AFM: Day 3 of playshool was a hit. Siba said hello whan the Physio greated him this morning.
Buhle is still not sleepimg well. I am always tired. im hoping by introducing protein that will help. I think the culprit is the Boob he feeds until she sleeps at night. And he wont fall asleep unless I BF.

Angelique will keep your sil in my thoughts & prayers xxxx
Glad your cousin & the baby are doing well.

Thanks for the tips Vix.

Vix no we are not going for a honeymoon, just spending the night at a hotel, maybe at a later time? C is really amazing with his potty training!!!

So the layout of the wedding sounds great and all finalized, it will be as follows

15:00 ceremony
15:40 celebratory drinks served by the pool area
16 - 17:00 photos
17:00 toasts and champagne
17:30 snacks to be served
18:30 first dance to open the dance floor

Dont think i will be able to log on again, i am swamped at the moment and then councelling at 14:00

Have a lovely day ladies

Just a quick post as I need to get the twins down for their nap.

Vix, we've also never been on honeymoon, although we got to spend the weekend of our wedding at Monte Casino.

Nicole, enjoy all the wedding meetings! So exciting!

Angie, WOW 6-7? That's insane!

Lisha, I have to say I don't think I would be doing so well had I been in your shoes. I think you're doing really really well and you must just persevere!

Ok, I'll pop in again later!
