August-September 2010 Moms

Hi ladies.
Thank goodness I found a Bootcamp at 6pm!!!!

Shame, Baby D is sick - think it's teething but she's coughing her little lungs out, sneezing and constant runny nose!
Have to give her cough syrup, nose drops & saline spray

Dakota was 3.2kg and is about 7.5kg at 8months
Her schedule:
7:00-150 ml bottle
9:30-1 ice cube fruit mixed with cereal and 75ml milk
11:00-150 ml bottle
1:30-150g meat, veg, stew etc, 75ml yoghurt (full cream from PnP)
3:00-150ml bottle
5:30-150g food, 75ml yoghurt
7:00-150ml bottle
I give her water with each meal
She has a nap in the morning and afternoon and sleeps from 8/8:30-7:00

My dog had 6 puppies last night, so now there are 3 humans and 9 yorkies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

we paid money upfront and then to join another one, you have to pay another once off fee ?

dont know if I am being silly about the "teeth" and hygiene thing ?

shoud i over look at least that one part ...but the late coming. drives me mad, 4 times in 4 weeks ?

sounds terrible! Maybe find a different agency? why not maybe look into a daymom then?

Glenvista - Johannesburg south

ha ha

where you live ? I guess in that case, then creche, seeing as she can pick up germs anyway travelling

I will def send K to creche in jan, we not havin luck with our nanny, she started in feb, worked 2 months and then had an "accident" on a sunday and then neice sms us and we looked in the local hosptitals they told us, called everywhere to see how she is and guess what ? we could not find her, they had no listing of her. till this day, we have not heard from her. neice said she was too ill to talk but now one month later, nanny has not sent on sms or call. we have tried to call her but no answer... very stressful and fustrating. the agency gave us a temp now for 3 weeks, but they chalk and cheese and has to take 2 taxis to and fro to work and she has such yellow teeth and bad breath. her teeth are rotting. she has the 4th one that needs to be extracted in 3 years. she has come in late 4 times. monday did not come to work as she has tooth ache, so DH had to take leave and be at home with K...

I dont know if i have the patience for this. DH is still set on keeping K at home ...no creche !

I don't know that i have it in me to last through the winter... besides MIL transports kids to and from school for a living and is taking K along with her on this so she isn't any more at risk of getting sick at creche than on the bus with the kiddies... and she is telling me that there is chicken pox going around at the schools

Was thinking of maybe.... MONDAY sounds much better... LOL

but i guess i am just over reacting

oh dear ! I think just bear and grind till she goes to creche..

when is that. I am putting K next Jan. letting her first winter go by

Mother in law... soon to be creche!

Shes driving me bonkers... yesterday we get there to fetch her - same time as every day nothings ready... the car seat is standing at the front gate...

We go inside and find out no grandma took out all hubbys old matchbox cars and has let K play whith those today! MATCHBOX cars... really? when we say please don't gove those to her if she gets a wheel off she'll choke... grandma tells us but most of them don't have any wheels anyway.... !!! GRRR and then proceeds into but i am watching....

Oh really yesterday afternoon you were telling us how while you were watching she nearly choked on a bouncing ball which you thought was too big to get into her mouth!

anyhow..... Grr sore topic huh? Moving swiftly along...
