Oct/Nov 2008 mommies!

I have emailed leigh.

Vix yay on the nice sleep through. Yesterday I eventually woke K up at 07:30 but he was so lethargic, he was just slumping his body - bloody scary, then this morning he also slept til 07:00 and then woke me up by giving me a kiss, I was soooo happy to see him healthy that i just grabbed him and started giving kisses and wrestling him lol

Leigh has been awfully quiet!

Zamzie glad to hear from you and that all is well

Vix i used about 7 blankets but in total had 10, was nice to have back up blankets.

Been so busy today. Looking forward to 2 so i can phone the creche to see how K is doing.

Having yummy spicy barbeque pork sausages with fresh rolls and green salad.....yummy (can you tell i havent had lunch and hungry lol)

Zamzi I think I would be too brain dead to keep track of the weeks so no worries. x

Nelria we did baby massage and it helped Dylan's tummy. You can hold the feet together and bring knees to chest but just move it back and forth don't keep it at chest level if you know what I mean.

vix I used about 8 Receiving blankets, but I used them as sheets too.

Man I was thinking that I hope you have at least one girl. The pink stuff is so pretty. Ladies only pink from now on. No more boys allowed.

Zamzie- hey girl, nice to hear from you! We're going to have another meet soon so you can join us then! Before I found out about the twins I also felt quite detached from this pregnancy but I don't think it's in a bad way, you're just more relaxed about it this time because you bknow what to expect and Imanna keeps you very busy I'm sure!

Nicole- C is a bit extreme on the milk, he drinks over 1l a day. I heard on Great expectations the other day, they only need full cream to the age of 2 years and K is close enough so if he's drinking less than usuall don't stress, it's obviously becoming less of a dietry need as they grow older, remember they're eating more things like cheese, yoghurts etc as they get bigger. Besides the poor boy is still poorly, I'm sure in time he'll drink more again.

Where is Leigh? She's been missing for a couple of days, I hope she is o.k and not feeling too down!

C slept through til 7am when he came into my room saying 'mama, milk, mama, milk' LOL I felt soooooo good after a full nights sleep. Recently he's been waking once a night which isn't too bad because I just go lay in his bed with him but no wakings is the best!

Simone- I am so pleased Addy is sleeping so well in the big bed, it's about time you had some good sleep. Any news from coke? And if they take you on for the other position at your company then they should still have to retrench your current position and still pay you out the 2 months retrenchment funds and then re instate you in your new position! Just be careful if you take the job they don't try to con you out of that and it'll be important that you are officially retrenched or your truworths account won't get cleared! Sorry to hear about the car, I agree with the girls, shop around for better prices on brakes.

Julz- Dylan is gorgeous, has his hair gotten darker?

Nelria- my friend in the UK found the only thing that helped with her boys cramps was massaging the tummy with orange oil, try it, it's atleast not going to make him act weird. There is a technique for tummy cramps: Take your right hand and you rub in a clockwise direction from 12 all the way round in a circle til 12 again and keep doing that, then you take your left hand and that one rubs from 12 til 6 only so when your right hand gets to 6 you start the left hand at 12, by the time the left gets to 6 the right should already be back round to 12. I hope I'm making sense but if not I'll show you next time I see you. Otherwise for C nothing except buscopan worked. The truth about meds that say from 3m is that you can actually give to younger babies but at a much smaller dose like half and not very often. When C had the snip he was being prescribed 1ml of panado every 4hrs.

I will be sure to do everything in my power to see the sexes because It's killing me not knowing. We're even sending C to SIL so that we can look in peace.

I was just packing all C's baby stuff out into the tweenies wardrobe and I realised, I have forgotton so much! How many large receiving blankets did you guys use having summer babies? I only found 3 when I unpacked C's stuff, I know he didn't like being swaddled much but 3 seems like not many.

I just found the perfect fabric to make my BF cushion covers from, it's so colourful and fun! Oo getting excited to make my own stuff now!

Christopher ate a whole banana again this morning and still asked for more LOL But I think 1 banana a day is enough for my constipated baby, he didn't manage to poop again yesterday, think I'm going to have to up his dosage of tea!

Helen- I'm pleased Olivers tummy and bum are healing nicely! Poor baby!

Hey Julz I did not know you are grooming such a cuttie heartbreaker, I agree with Lisha... Kids grow up very fast , when I look at how big Imanna is I jut cant believe how small she was a few months ago.

Lisha time really flies & I am so not abreast with this pregnancy I sometimes feel like I am not connecting with my baby as I did with Imanna at times I do not even know how many weeks I am . I also eat a lot of junk its sad.


I take it from the pics the Jozi ladies have met & I forgot about it. I even went to a wrong place for the shower I was supposed to attend I went to GoldReef city instead of Monte , I was so dipressed when I got there luckly DH decided to drive me there and when I found out DH laughed I felt like crying ...

Hi Zamzie. Glad all is well. Time is flying with pregnancy hey.
