August-September 2010 Moms

Joybaby, Shame hun, hope Kaylee's cold clears up! Holding thumbs for the job!!!

Nope, not TTC just yet - Willem is a REAL hand-full, and also, only been 3 months at my new job. Also, they only pay maternity after 2 years of service - so at some point soon, we are going to have to make a decision - just go for it, or wait the extra few months and take the financial hit...
And I think my parents will curse us if we have another baby in aug-oct (7 birthdays, and 1 anniversary), and DH's folks again for January (FOUR of the cousins's birthdays!!!) - SO, aiming for March onwards. Either 2013, or if we wait, 2014.

I'm also have to lose some weight - URGENTLY!
The minimun I can live with is 17kg (just to get to pre-preggy ), and then I would love to lose the last stubborn 5kg's as well - but not holding my breath...

ROBYN ROBYN ROBYN!!! Soooo excited for you!!! And secretly jealous
Congratulations hey!

Flowergirl yay I'm so glad its not off the cards!

We will do it with a 2bdrm house, little one will have to be in our room the first year, just like Kaylee was and after that hopefully we're in a position to move.
We'd really like our next purchase to be a long term one, so 4beds, pool, space to grow etc. But it all depends on my career now.

JHB enjoy your meet!

Need to vent
Kaylee has a cold! Doc says if she is still snotty by the weekend they will have to postpone her surgery. I totally get that, and would not endanger her in any way, but I'm so over waiting! It's been 2,5 weeks since we discovered she needs the op, and by the looks of it a whole month will go by before she has it as its now very likely we'll have to postpone it again

Anyway, went for an interview this morning. Its with an agency in town, but the client is in Bellville and a company I've always wanted to work with so it must be something?
They advised that there are strict BEE and so that will play against me, and they have an internal applicant to consider. But basically the agent liked me very much (although couldn't stand my CV) and really feels I'll fit the position well.
Still no news on last week's interview. Also one I'd love to do.
So please keep us in your prayers!!!

Sorry that my posts are 'me, me, me' but I dont vent much and got serious cabin fever!

Cols, Jeanine and Kerry are you ladies TTC now and how is it going?

I thought it better not to TTC now but hubby doesnt want to delay it because of work. So the big O is this weekend, probably around Sunday although normally I start feeling it by now but have not. Guess will 'go with the flow' and see what happens!

BabyKsmom hows the new job going? Sounds like you're loving it!

Oh, forgot to mention that I also need to loose at least 10KG's before I am pregnant again!! (preferably 15, but I would settle for 10)!!

Robyn - CONGRATS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So happy for you - what wonderful news

I, secretly, wouldn't mind finding out that I am pregnant now either LOL, we aren't trying, but I have not used any contraceptive since Emily was born (except for maybe 2 or 3 months somewhere inbetween). But, I needed Clomid the first time round, so my guess is we gonna need it again. But, we just aren't ready space-wise. We need to move into a bigger place first so that we can build a seperate entrance for my mom and have the 3rd room free'd up for baba number 2. Right now, my mom stays with us 4 nights a week because she is looking after Emily and I would prefer that she has her own space. So, we are starting the house hunt again around April/May, then hopefully start ttc then as well. Exciting times.

ROBYN!!! Congrats!!! So glad for you!!!

BabyK, sounds good. Evan goes to sleep from 11:45 - 12ish (after his lunch) so that is perfect for me. Shall we make it 9am? Can come through after monster has had his breakfast I think we're all "fairly" close to Delta park so it wont be an issue I lost everyone's phone numbers when I broke my phone. My # is 0795109791. If anything changes, please let me know? I am really glad the 1st day went well Our boys already know how to play mommy hey Oh and dont worry about face grabbing! Evan's into hitting We got to school this morning and the kids in his class (especially Sasha - she has a crush on him I am sure) swarm him in the morning to give him loves and hug him. He pushes them away and if they try kiss him he smacks them! oooi... He just doesnt like that much attention. He was fine in the end and I got him to hug all the little one's, shame. They are sooo sweet.

ROBYN!!!!! CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I AM SOOOOOO THRILLED FOR YOU GUYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Please keep us posted on baba's progress. D is going to be an amazing big sister and what an awesome gap. Now the rest of us just need to get preggo too so we can all be together

Hi Ladies,

Robyn, Holding thumbs for you that AF stays away - test already !!!

Joybaby, you are as always in my thoughts and prayers. Hopeing that all goes well on monday with the opperation, and also that you get a job soon.

BabyK, glad to hear the first day of work went well.

BabyK, Cols, I was also going to suggest 9/9:30 - since Willem usually goes down for a nap at around 11:00. We've been trying to take him to Delta park at least once every weekend - so nice, tire him out, then 2-3 hour nap afterward
But then again, I live 3 km away, so I'm the easy one as far as times/planning are concerned...
Don't worry about the face grabbing, I'm sure Willem will survive it - he has the habit of grabbing my face - haven't really seen him doing it to anybody else yet, So maybe a bit of his own medicine would just help
