pregnancy

It’s been said that once you have children, you’ll never sleep again. No, darn it.  Sorry.  I always get that confused with the “sleep when the baby sleeps” phrase everyone…

Here’s the funny thing about having a baby. Either you go into labour, or you’re forced into a c-section, or you happily decide to have your baby cut out, or…

Every Sunday night was the same…  We’d go to church and then to our best friends place (or they’d come to ours) and we’d have an easy supper.  It was…

There was a time (just a few years ago) where I could direct you to the closest baby changing facility in any shopping mall in Cape Town. I could also…

Quite a while ago some of us gathered together at Pink to celebrate Lizanne and the imminent arrival of baby Naomi. With 4 tiny babies and 4 toddlers it was…

Thumper is finally here and yes, he finally has a real name that can be revealed!  Welcome to our family little Knox (or more affectionately by the girls as “Knock”).…

So the 25th of this month is my birthday.  Just 5 days before Thumper is due to arrive and grace us with his presence.  However, we have now decided to…

I don’t like being stuck at home.  It makes me feel bored and like I am just wasting time.  Plus going out has so much more opportunity for adventure and…

Last week Monday we went for a check up with the gyne.  The girls were with us and they get quite excited to come and see their brother each time…

OK.  I know that this is technically a stupid question, because eventually I WILL go into labour somehow, but what do I do when it actually happens?! This week I…

I never knew that I was such a procrastinator until I was pregnant with Thumper.  It’s ridiculous.  With Kyla my bags were packed at like 25 weeks, “just in case”…

On a lovely, sunny Spring Day this past Saturday, I was truly blessed by having such a beautiful baby shower for little Thump-a-roo!  Our wonderful friends, Zoe and Julie put…

I am finally on “maternity leave”, spending this month at home resting and preparing for Thumper to arrive.  It’s a little taste of what I assume it would be like…

It’s kind of an unspoken rule that our kids are not allowed to get dirty.  Ever.  Sounds like fun, I know.  But when their Dad is a bit of an…

I know I have been a bit of a morbid person lately and this has unfortunately translated onto the blog.  I apologise.  For those of you who have stuck it…

I have been meaning to do this post since Mia arrived but the time was better used actually spending time with her.  I’m sure you understand. On 18 Aug it…

I’m not going to lie, it’s been a rough couple of weeks.  I am thinking that it must just be preggy hormones going ballistic, but flip.  I am really struggling…

5 and a bit short weeks left until we welcome little Thumper into the world.  That’s if he stays a womb dweller for that long – which I’m hoping he…

Now that I have finally been able to go through the girls old baby clothes, find all the “boy friendly” items and pack them into his cupboard, I realised that…

Time is absolutely flying right now!  I keep forgetting to update these type of posts because I feel like I have just done one – never mind that the last…

This is just a quickie in case you want to hear about our family and not only who won the photo shoot competitions. One afternoon last week were were having…

Besides a pink cake, the only other thing the girls wanted for their party was a jumping castle.  Kyla LOVES to jump and is constantly making our bed into her…

So it’s Winter here in Cape Town…  Apparently…  Well, when I wake up in the morning I guess I can believe it, because it’s roughly 4-6 degrees, but on Sunday…
