So this weekend was filled with lots of baby activity. Rudi organized to bring the work bakkie (pick up) home for the weekend so he could start carting all the furniture and stuff out of Babyice’s room so that we could start making room for Babyice’s things. He also fetched the compactum his mom is [...]
So my grandfather started chemo again yesterday. He was there for about 6 hours and they put a lot of fluid into him. He already started feeling unwell while he was there. He called me and it broke my heart. My grandfather is full of life and love. He is energetic and thirsts for knowledge. [...]
It’s Friday! Time for the scan pics I promised! We only got two pictures at our last scan, one nice side view and a ‘gender verification’ one: Yeah. No two ways about it. He’s a boy! There’s no denying it. The gynae didn’t even try to say ‘Look, it could be the umbilical [...]
I’m starting to feel a bit better about all the baby stuff. I’ve already sorted out the camp cot and the pram will be sorted soon. I am waiting for Reggies to get stock of the car seat we want to buy. With the 60% discount from Discovery the car seat is really good value [...]
…a BOY! I might add that the gynae also mentioned that he is quite well endowed *giggle* He must get that from my side of the family. Kidding. Seriously. Babyice is not a shy one, the gynae was able to tell in 30 seconds flat. He also encircled our boy’s bits on the scan, wrote [...]
My weekend was somewhat uneventful, other than the fact that I received some packages! On Saturday my package arrived from my friend in Belgium. He sent it over a month ago (via airmail) and I had given up hope that it would come. I figured it was probably halted at customs for some or other [...]
I know it sounds stupid. I’ve been told to be ‘zen’ and stay as calm and relaxed as possible. Calm mommy = calm baby. I definitely want a calm and happy baby…but I feel like I’m not relaxed enough, you know? Example: I get all frustrated and worked up when Rudi and I play [...]
So you can get a clearer view. I’m going to the gynae again on Monday…so more scan pics will be coming soon!
…runs in my household. Our new burglar bars are up, but Amber doesn’t fit through them. It’s the only window in the house she can use to come and go…also the only one that requires burglar bars…and now she cannot fit through them. Everyone I know loves how fat Amber is…but in her defense…the [...]
It is utterly amazing how your viewpoints can change as your circumstances do. A few short months ago I could not go near a baby shop. I would get sulky hearing the pregnant woman at work laughing; bitterly thinking ‘Yes, you have reason to be happy. Just rub it in my face already’. Childish. [...]
