Feb-May 2011 Mommies

grrr lost my post again!!!

Cath, you are soo lucky Youve motivated me to for the last time tonight try convince hubby about Genesis.. lets see what he says Yippeee and then maybe we will have our babies together!!

Mistymom, thanks for the info on the program!

The pictures are painted on canvas, you can buy them at stationary shops and they are cheap way to decorate since they are only R20 per canvas!

Peppermint Crisp Recipe (easy peasy)

1 packet Tennis biscuits
250ml fresh cream
1 tin Caramel
1 or 2 peppermint crisp choccies - depending on how much mint you want

Beat the cream with electric beater until it becomes stiff. (dont overbeat). Then add the tin of caramel along with 1/2 or whole grated choc. Beat well
Pack a layer of biscuits on the bottom of a square dish. Cover with half of the filling mixture.
Pack another layer of biscuits on top of the filling and pour over the rest of the filling, followed by the rest of the grated choc.
Chill until set - preferably overnight.
If you like it to be more biscuity (like my hubby does) then devide the filling in 3 layers and just pack another layer of biscuits.

Enjoy!

ThanksMisty - I will do!!

Sorry about double post....not sure hwat happened there!!

@ Lucy W - ya I would just add all the codes i have. I cant remember who gave them to me - it was somebody on this thread. I did not want to submit the form just wit hwhat the gynae had put as it only had 3 things down and i was scared they would only approve those on PMB and nothing else. So just put as many codes as you can down and hopefully they will approve them all!

Kimika it was on PMB's in general - nothing to do with pregnancy. WHat they were basically saying was that your medical aid can send you to there prefered docs for PMB's. Also depending on what kind of plan you are on, certain things can be done more "old fashioned" compared with more modern "ie shorter recovery time" things which if you are on more expensive plans they would do. eg if you pay them loads they will approave say a keyhole surgery on PMB but if you are on a cheapy plan you may have surgery thta is not keyhole and more old fashioned with longer recovery time. They also said (as we all know) that a lot of the time they do not approve PMBS when they should, they do not inform clients of their rights to PMBS etc and only after certain cases are reported in media etc will the medical aid all of a sudden decide to pay! Hope that all makes sense.
And those pics you posted are really stunning...are they tiles?? Did you do them yourself? (sorry I may have missed a few posts last week)

Karin - that pic is just too gorgeous man.

Kaylae - that's the daddy of the baby yes. I took the pic. Hmmm about the nectarines. Couldn't find again yesterday!

Kimika - nooooooo - and he's been on my case about everything today so I don't think it's gonna happen today

Yay Cathm! Glad you came right. Did you decide re which midwife to use?

Hi there Ladies
YAY! Joli I did as you suggested and am seeing Dr Mia at 28 weeks and at 36 weeks after which only if midwife identifies a 'problem' will I need to see him. Between now and then I'll pop into my own Gynae but will try limit it to once in Oct and once in Nov! I don't think he'll be too happy about the Genesis decision, but he's so busy am sure he'll be fine!
I'm very chuffed Genesis it is! Oh, did I mention Genesis offers various pain options including Epidural. All I really want is the choice not so much the certainty of pain relief, so that suits me fine! Great excite!!
