Sarah Rose born 6. May.

So happy to hold my little girl. 3.89 kg

Here you go Joli

Betty, best of luck love! Cannot wait to hear how it all went!!

Meag my hon, hang in there. I wish I could come and help you out and give your H (cant even say DH for him) a huge smack over the back of the head and tell him to man up and start acting like a father and husband!

Scatsie - we are arranging a CT meet for when Meags is here - www.moomie.co.za/forum/13-ladies-corner/...own-moomie-meet.html

Cath, i really hope Will doesn't get sick again! Have you got him on reuter (spelling??) drops?
Good luck on the house!!And sure slim! It really works wonders.

Lucy, Kimika has a good point with the creams/soaps. You can also try woolies products as they are natural and bio-degradable. With Em J&J gave her terrible cradle cap!
I hope T is ok soon and you get some sleep!

Kimika, we are done, there will be no more little ones after this. We only every wanted 2 max.

Had such a sweet evening with the family tonight, DH learned how to give Kate a baby massage, Em has been so sweet and Katie was interacting with all of us. Got so many smiles from her today.

Yay Betty!! Can't believe you actually made it all the way into May! Pls let us know ASAP how everything went! xxx

Cath and Meags you should meet up with us CT moms if you are both going to be here in June! Would be lovely to finally meet you girls! It's actually strange to think we haven't actually met each other after sharing SO much over the last few months!!

Meags YAY re betty oh I am so pleased for her!

You must TOTALLY scare your dh seriously it is time! He appears to think that you're just gonna put up with everything and anything whereas the reality is that you DO have choices regarding where you live - and with whom !! - and if he wants to be with you he needs to pull finger hey! sorry man I hope he gets a big skrik! Looking forward to seeing you when you're here - btw, I'm in CT between 11th and 17th June if that coincides with your CT dates at all!???

Kimika, don't talk to me about laundry OMG it is NEVER ENDING! HOW HOW HOW!? LOL! i'm a bit nervous W is getting diarhoea again - I am noticing the same symptoms: Sleepy listless, lots of pooing - like 3 times a day - not yet runny or watery but Gods! hope it's not on its way we'er going away for the wkend for my dad's 70th and it will be awful for little one if he is sick but fingers crossed he is just fine! like I said no runny poo yet but more volume and he did throw up once today which was also the starting point last time! FIngers crossed! I joined Sureslim - thanks Emsmom forthe referral - got my diet plan - not easy - will be starting monday.

other than that been running around like a mad thing and really after this wkend want to spend as much time at home and with w as possible before being back at work. cape town in june will probably be our main holiday this year as we've put in an offer for a lovely house today but that means no more disposable cash, or at least very little!!!

love to you all!

just saw on the may/june/july thread that 6 hours ago bettyF posted that she is in labour at the hospital!!!

YYYIIIPPPEEEEEE!!!!! So I guess they are allowing her to try for VBAC! Cant wait to hear some more

Hi ladies

Betty please keep us posted!! My BB pin is 3220215F

Schatsie our baby is so particular (as you may have noticed ) so he only sleeps on his right side during the night as thats the side of the cot that faces outwards and I need to make sure his swaddle is tightly wrapped under him and his head is at a certain angle etc etc and if he faces the other way, its facing the wall and I cant see....
so right side for night sleeps. then left side for day sleeps as he pretty much does all his day sleeps in the swing. His head shape is perfect. and I use the wedge. If I put him on his back he doesnt sleep for long.

Kimika I am a zombie. he slept from 8:30-midnight then from 1:15am until 4:45. At least he is asleep now but I am not...as this is usually the time he doesnt sleep at all so I made it my time to eat breakfast, do dishes, sterilise bottles etc....Grrrrr....
oh by the way - pity my mom and step dad dont live in SA anymore...could have gotten you free Cetaphil as my step dad is the project manager for Galderma (manufacturer of Cetaphil)

Lucy - I dont think the chiro is working for us...in fact he just seems worse over the last few days. I am totally at my wits end and I just want to run away

EmsMom you are so lucky with all the sleep you are getting!!!!!! cant wait to meet you either

well I had a fight with DH last night about the baby!
After being so tired I just so badly wanted him to care for Matt on Sunday morning for a few hours (besides...it is Mother's day...)
so anyway. He was telling me that we are invited to a friend's house for pizza on saturday night and then to go to a pub to watch boxing. so I said to him "oh yes....a pub with a baby..." and he said "well actually you and all the wives will stay at the house with the babies and we'll go out". so I just gave him such a look and he said ok fine...we'll go home after the pizza. I told him its not fair that he can go on with his life but mine must come to a complete end. so then I said to him "ok fine you can go to the pub. but then you look after matt between 7-10am the next morning so I can rest (mother's day). and he said "ok no definitely not. I wont go to the pub".

So I went on and on about how he has to help, I am exhausted, I'm getting depressed etc. and he said he needs his rest as he works. so I asked him when do I get to rest? when is my day off? he said I can sleep when Matt sleeps during the day (well yes just look how much he slept yesterday!) and he said he has a lot of stress from work and needs more rest than me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I told him that he gets to rest every single friggin night while I am up and down with the baby.

well eventually we just stopped talking to each other and that was that. I am beyond pissed off and cried each time I had to get up for Matt, not from exhaustion or anything like that, but because I am beginning to despise my DH. I dont even know when he last told me I'm pretty or that he loves me. I know he is not even excited to have sex again (its been more than 4 months now...) and he just makes his own decision about when he wants to be a dad and when it doesnt suit him. I am really considering scaring him a bit and just not coming back from SA for a few days later than expected and telling him that I am coping better there so I dont want to come back to Miami. see what he does/says.
