Oct/Nov 2008 mommies!

PFairy- I knew you were joking but I don't think Mandy realised you live so far.

Apparently Ally also doesn't know how big your country is either LOL

O.k I was going to say 24th just because it's sooner but if people can make the 17th instead we haven't decided on if we're going to attend the multiples seminar anyways, I think I might just do it all through reading. The 7th is august and it's not even July yet!!

Julz- I'm pleased your interview went well. I'm sure you won't mind all the travelling around for a job you'll enjoy. Let us know asap!

Simone- I'm sure this is a really terrible time to be job hunting but with your skills and determination I'm sure you'll find the right job soon, just apply for anything and everything even if you think they won't choose you, you'll be surprised how some companies look for someone outside of their field for change.

WRT TTC info, it's really simple, just get your 'friend' LOL to google Sperm meets egg plan and voila, that's probably the easiest most basic advice on TTC and it works for a lot of people, if after a couple of months of TTC nothing is happening then maybe it's worth charting temperatures but that can get very involved but fertilityfriend.com will help with all the information on charting. What charting will do is give you a cycle history so you know 'patterns' in your cycle. They say you Ovulate 14days before your period is due usually but I actually realised I ovulated only 10 days before my period so I was missing the date completely. Well apparently I ovulated 10 and 16 days before AF was due LOL

Nelly- I'll gladly make Xen's suit (something like Aidans?) But as long as you buy the fabrics I'll make for you, I did offer long ago to everyone else that I would make the baby's christening outfits at cost. As for the Arm-inz I'll justg bring you one through to the meet, don't worry about it, You can try out this new design for me.

Lelani- I'll get you some pics of the belly soon, to be honest I have forgotten which is terrible because with C I did it every month starting at 12w. Can't wait to see the difference. I told Elwyn (before we knew it was twins) Maybe it's a boy again because my belly is all out in front again.

Hi gals,

Thanks Ara for the roll call, I had this terrible cold/flu and my eyes kept watering and I couldnt look at the screen for a long time, hence the brief congratulatory post for Vix on Fri.

Vix you are so clever my friend, the ex came and he asked that I sell him some of my staff and I remembered you and I said write it down in an affidavit. Then he asked me why I moved out wara wara and I was like when I ask for my things it then that you wanna talk about our break up F$%^&^*k off.

Good news ladies Amu is now off the bedtime bottle, I do give him his milk before he sleeps but when we go to bed he goes to sleep all by himself. He is now 'talking' a lot clear words but still not sentences, sings and dances too. He is cutting 2 gum teeth at the bottom and top I dont know wat they are called. He si just so cute for words, was thinking the other day that his dad is missing out I actually feel sori for him and I am glad that I went back home and am now witnessing all these great developments.

I actually would love to meet you all I will definitely try to make it this time.

Done I am still to go to the post office yet, I cant wait and the suspense is killing me. Thank you again.

Nelria glad that Xen is sleeping so well and is giving you time to rest a bit, how is the scar? is it healing well?

Juls congrats on the interview and watever it is, is already making you happy FX that you get it.

Lisha gald you enjoyed the soccer with your mom

Zee so sorry for this morning's incidence.

Jessica congrats on your pregnancy (talk about optimism on my part)

morning mommies

hope you are all well xxx

zee, shame man, I'm so sorry for the ACCIDENT
but remember that is what it was!!! I know it doesn't make it any better, but please dont be too harsh on yourself xxx
(((hugs))) for the day xxx
These kids & their tantrums zian also tries his luck now & then, but like you...I just ignore

gotta go...chat soon

Hi ladies

Quick pop in before I get down to the mad house I've returned to Damn can't believe all the urgent things that happened when I take a long weekend .... note to self is not to take more than 1 day off if CEO is out of the country

Vix my friend that I told about the SMEP is on clomid too. Shame she was desperate to have a second baby but now that her 15 month old has been ill for the last 3 weeks she is seriously reconsidering. And she pretty much is raising the kid alone as her hubby lives & works in Mozambique and only comes down for a few days when she's ovulating and they haven't been lucky yet.

Zee sorry about rough morning ... hope your day gets better as it progresses.

Nelria enjoy the playdate. So glad Xen is being such a angel.

Jessica congrats on the pregnancy I'm with Ally please everyone keep the pregnancy bug away from me lol....

Anyway need to get back to work. Chat to you all later.

I was just joking about the klerksdorp visiting.... I know it is too far. But it would have been nice to meet all of you!!!!!

Simone, at one stage xander wanted a jungle party. So, me and hubby decided to spray (with hair colour spray) stripes on the boerboel to be a zebra and dots on the labrador to be cheetah. but he changed his mind and wanted a dinosaur party....

Hi ladies

Hope you are all doing well! My day really started kak! I closed the gate by accident when DH was driving out with his company car and he obviously hit the gate, so the gate is damaged as well as the #$#$$ car, I feel like shouting, crying and jumping out of the window! I am so #$#$@$#$#$#%$#$#$# stupid!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Okay, so that’s my vent for the day, lets move to nicer topics!

Pfairy, I would love to meet you, but yes Klerksdorp is a bit far  I don’t mind the 24th or the 7th … and my vote is on Midrand but don’t really mind.

Lisha, glad you enjoyed the soccer.

Ally, I'm really enjoying your blog now that you are writing more, you definitely have a knack for it.

Vix, I like the names! Good luck with all the work and organising. Cute about the movement.

Yoza, the shopping sounds like so much fun! My mom and I are going shopping on Saturday, I chose clothes as a bday gift so she is going to spoil me a bit, can’t wait!

Okay, so I’ve finalized my bday arrangements, on the 9th I’m going out for drinks with a few girlfriends and then on the 10th I’m having a few friends and family over at my place for soup for starter, and breyani and oxtail for mains and then I guess just cake and treats for dessert.

Nelria, so glad that Xen is such a good baby for his mommy! Enjoy the play date. And good luck with the Unisa stuff!

Jessica, congrats, hope you have a very nice pregnancy! Still trying as well, but not really too anxious about it. Finances and stuff aren’t so great at this moment so ja …

Mandy and Helen, thanks for the tips on the dry cheeks

Julz, can’t wait to hear more about the job, it sounds exciting, will be holding thumbs.

Oh Z is now throwing spectacular tantrums lying on the floor kicking and screaming … I just ignore her and step over her minding my own business!

And Eek, Grey’s anatomy was shocking last night!
