I was only going to go to the doctor today, but luckily I called yesterday to make an appointment. Turns out he is away on course today and tomorrow, but managed to fit me in yesterday already. Remember I was sick in May? I had flu which turned into bronchitis and then developed a [...]
I’m having an offish day today. I woke up this morning wanting to cry. Just the thought of having to come to work and face a potentially grumpy boss made me feel hopeless. He snapped at me yesterday and again made me feel incompetent (what he is best at it seems) and that has just [...]
Antenatal class last week was interesting. We learnt about coping methods during natural labour. We were taught some breathing exercises and positions to stand in. It was also demonstrated to the partners how to apply pressure on certain parts of our backs to ease the pain of the contractions. We practiced relaxation techniques and discussed [...]
Angel is running a competition on her blog with prizes! Since the time for Babyice to arrive is quickly approaching…I figure I am going to need all the help I can get! Angel has asked for the entrants to write a blog post about an old wives tale and whether they think it has [...]
Firstly, the shower is still leaking. WTF. They came out to look at it again yesterday and ‘tightened’ a few things, but last night water was pouring out from underneath the shower. Mopping required. It’s most annoying. I’m happy that I can shower again and sincerely hope they don’t need to chop up the wall [...]
I know, I know. I’ve been M.I.A for a while. Work has been hectic…and when it hasn’t I’ve been either too busy or too tired to do anything but sleep. I’m exhausted lately. It didn’t help that Rudi fell ill on Monday morning during the wee hours and decided it was okay to keep me [...]
Our shower was leaking quite badly. We reported it to the owner of our flat and she got some people to come have a look…and then…well…to destroy and rebuild the shower. Last week Tuesday they came to chop the shower up and put the cement in. The cement drying till the next week Monday… [...]
23 weeks today. One more week and we’re at the 6 month mark! I can’t believe it! I’m feeling fine. Some ligament pain every now and then which is completely bearable, a little heartburn and some crying spells. I’ve also had some trouble getting sick when brushing my teeth in the mornings, but luckily that [...]
I’ve been so blessed already with gifts for Babyice. I received a parcel from Hon3y with presents for Babyice (and for me!). So awesome…here’s what we made off with: The one on the left says ‘If you think I’m spoilt, you should see my mum’. The one in the middle says ‘Future heart [...]
On Sunday morning…after I absorbed almost half a slab of white chocolate, Babyice was kicking as if his life depended on it. I decided since the kicks were coming constantly it might be a good time for Rudi to try and feel for the first time. He pressed his hand against my lower belly and [...]
