Fairy Girl

Last night, Joshua asked me to bath with him (it was already 8 pm, way past his bed time). I told him I was tired and just wanted to relax in front of the t.v.  He was so disappointed, but still I insisted, he go and have a quick bath as it was already past [...]

Our little Abigail is now a toddler, waddling around the house like she owns it.  She is determined, feisty, adorable and lovable.  She does not stop babbling and her tongue is always hanging out, waiting to say the next word. She lights up the room when she waddles in.  She loves her mommy, daddy, brother [...]

On Thursday mornings Abigail and I attended Moms and Babes in Fairlands, Roodepoort. Karen the owner is an awesome woman. Both Abigail and I enjoyed the classes. It is perfect bonding time for a mother and her baby. Our dearest little Abigail graduated from Moms and Babes last week. Logan will start her classes on [...]

Barend and I took Joshua to Carnival City to take part in the kiddies cycling race. Joshua took part in the under 9 age group. There weren’t too many riders participating and I was rather grateful as these kids ride like there is no tomorrow. During the first lap of the race, there was an [...]

Our little Logan is 2 months old and we are lucky to have yet another dream child. I’ve been told that it is not fair to have three dream kiddies in a row, some have asked me for the recipe. I think we are only given what we can handle, so perhaps I won’t be [...]

The last week or so I’ve visited the Doctor / Doctors rooms at least eight times. It all started about a week ago………….Joshua woke up in the middle of the night with a headache and a runny nose and he was running a fever. I took him to our GP and she diagnosed “sever sinusitis”. [...]

Our little angel turned 1 on the 28th of January. There was a lot of excitement in the early hours on the 28th. Abigail got her first bicycle from daddy, okay it’s one of those BP specials but close enough:) We opened presents, ate lots of cake and then we headed off to Moms and [...]

We gave Joshua the choice to participate in two extra-mural activities outside of school. He chose “hip hop” dancing and guitar lessons. Last night was his first Hip Hop lesson for the term. On our way to his lesson he asked me if I thought his instructor would teach him how to spin on his [...]

Thursday 10th December, I had hardly any sleep, probably because I was nervous, scared and excited for the next day. THE DAY – Barend and I finally meet our little princess. On Friday morning 11th December, Barend and I had a quick cuppa before leaving for the hospital. I wanted to leave earlier, in hope [...]

We are 38 weeks today and visiting our gyanecologist at 6 pm. I’m rather excited but also rather nervous. I’m prepared for her arrival but I am so not prepared for the pain of natural birth “eina”. I’m thinking she weighs around 3.3 kg already.
