halloween outfit


playing in a ball pond


sitting in his toy box (we were swinging him in it before!)

hi girls

quick one!
Kimika so nice to hear from you - will message u on FB!
I am counting the days until I go away - I am totally not coping anymore. I feel like I'm going backwards!!! I cant keep up with the housework - matthieu is more and more demanding and I hate to say it, but he pisses me off!!!!!
He wont drink more than 20ml of milk at a time. He is so restless, twists and turns and spits milk everywhere. It takes like 2 hours to drink a bottle. Its like he finds it boring!!! I have tried everything to entertain him but it doesnt work.
At least he now eats solids better, but he is very picky and only eats stuff with cinnamon in and hates the food I have made

he moves backwards when on his tummy, not too far, but gets around. the only time he will attempt to get onto all fours is in his cot. so it takes AGES for him to sleep (day naps) so he has day naps in his swing.
still only the 2 teeth at the bottom which he got 3 months ago!!!!!
he is too cute for words and very interactive but boy I am looking forward to having some help soon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am on a diet called HCG. I basically take drops 3 times per day before meals. its a 23 day diet and she told me I can easily lose 8kg in that time....so we'll see.
I have been trying other diets too and been on this HCG diet 9 days and in total over 4 weeks have lost 4.6kg, 6.7kg to go. Would love to lose all of it before coming to SA but my goal was to get to 63kg by then so therefore only 3.7kg to go which I'm sure will happen in the next 10 days.
I only have 500 calories a day - I'm not hungry (thanks to the drops) but I am beginning to feel a little less energetic. However I also havent been eating everything on the list so that could be why.

Dh and I are so so. I think I am so exhausted and frustrated in general with marriage, life and baby that I just cant be bothered with anything anymore.
I think this 2 months away from Miami will do me good and lets just hope as Matthieu gets bigger he grows out of this moaning.....

hope you're all doing well!!!!

Hey Kimika!!

Its been a loooong time. So nice of you to pop in. How is R doing? is he crawling yet?

Hi girls!! I been really long since I popped in. Really miss you all but life is just too hectic! :ope you are all doing well and babas growing into adorable little things! I've fallen way too far behind in reading posts so have no idea of what's going on with eÀch of you. My boys are doing well, keeping me very busy... R is stiLl À real cutie, but is going through a shy patch now and won't really go to anyone. I'm busy weaning him now, only b/f him in early hrs of morning to get a bit more sleeptime out of him!

Pls feel free to inbox me on fb to chat!! Xxx

Abdul is doing well for now..such a chubby boy.

I Had an amazing day with my ex yesterday. He spent a lot of money on us. He brought all my stuff down. Made so many promises before he came down and kept most of them. It was tempting to say lets go back with you to him, but i didn't cos he hasn't changed and i knew it when he insisted that im still stupid and a dumb darkie and the final straw was when he said he was gonna have a joint when he left cape town. Today i missed him terribly. I still love him a lot, but can't get back into an abusive relationship with him.

Tonight im gonna separate all my clothing and give away what i don't want so that will be great.

Hope you girls are all well. Hugs.

Hi everybody!

Work is hectic, so I don't really Moomie during the week.

Libra, Megan makes me think of a very old song:

Beautiful, beautiful brown eyes
Beautiful, beautiful brown eyes
Beautiful, beautiful brown eyes
I'll never love blue eyes again.

Then again, Cherise makes me think of Elton John's song:

Blue eyes
Baby's got blue eyes
Like a deep blue sea
On a blue blue day

Hi Kay! Hope to see you in January when Meags is this side of the world again.

Betty_F, Cherise weighed exactly that at 6 months .

Faw, LOL for the penguin. That's why we keep to "penis"...

Lucy, I love the way these little ones start showing their personalities. Hope you feel less tired soon.

Tazzy, it was you that talked about taking something for PND, not true? I was also convinced by the shrink that I should start taking something and even though I was very reluctant, after almost 2 months on the stuff I'm in such a better place and feel "normal" for the first time in years actually. I think I got PND with my son and just never got rid of it ever since.

Loving tummy time



Can't believe these pics were taken 1.5 months ago. Time really flies, sadly enough.

Lucy, I'm super keen to meet up again!! Just give me a date and time and I'll plan a trip to durban.
