My first week at home has been lovely. It has been very relaxing and it seems Babyice is also relaxing and won’t be coming too early. I’m already over 38 weeks and no indication that he feels like making an entrance just yet. He needs to stay in there till at least Monday. On Monday [...]
Rudi and I wanted to see Avatar in 3D over the weekend and on a whim decided to book tickets on Saturday. Do you think we could find two seats together in any one show? Practically fully booked the entire weekend! Avatar has been playing for a while now. That is quite impressive! So we [...]
So here I am at home. I don’t feel like I won’t be going to work for the next six months. It feels like I have a day off. It must be very hard for Rudi to get out of bed and go to work while I get to lie in. I know it is [...]
Laundry #fail: So we went to pick up the sling yesterday. We still have to figure out exactly how it works, but Pinkhairgirl has volunteered to Skype me to show me or to show me when she comes to Cape Town in the beginning of March I decided to wash it right away since it [...]
We went to see the gynae yesterday after work. He seems to be in good spirits after his holiday, even in the late afternoon. Not that he has ever been grumpy, but he was in a good mood and in the mood for joking around. Babyice weighs just over 3kg’s now. He estimates he will be around [...]
Despite my complaints I think I am better off than a lot of people that are over 8 months pregnant. I don’t look like a blow fish (not much more than I did before I was pregnant anyway ) and I’m more or less okay with everything else. Today is the first time I tried [...]
When I think about the day Babyice arrives… …it does not occur to me that Rudi might not be at home when I go into labour. …it does not occur to me that I might go into labour during peak hour traffic. …it does not occur to me that I might go into labour at [...]
Childbirth is something I never thought I would have to deal with, yet I find myself standing between 2 and 3 weeks away from it. This thought kept me awake last night. When I was younger I never wanted to be married. I never wanted kids. I wasn’t the little girl with the baby doll [...]
On Tuesday I went to hospital for my glucose test. When I got there I had already been fasting for 12 hours. They drew blood for the first test to see what my blood sugar was after the fast. A reading of 9 or higher indicates that you are diabetic. My total came back as 5. [...]
Today is one of those days that I am happy to be pregnant. I’m not feeling very uncomfortable right now or too tired at the moment. Last night not so much. I could not for the life of me find a comfortable position to sit down/lie down on the couch while we were watching TV. [...]
