Well This is my first child and im really trying to learn as much as i can before my little bean comes along.



Thursday, 25 Oct
My SO is driving me insane...He hasnt got a job and everytime i mention the fact that he needs to get one before the baby comes he gets depressed. I have enough on my plate without him being sad and depressed all the time. His djing gigs and small odd jobs arent making enough money and i need him to be a man and grow some balls and get a job..i just dont know what else to do or say to him. Ive asked and begged and threatened. So i give up.

Well as christmas draws closer..im actually feeling more stressed out. Money is very tight and im not sure my SO understands how tight. Its ridiculous. Maybe i just need to chill but i feel very stressed. Also i know im pregnant but im getting upset that clothes arent fitting me anymore. Lol strange that i want a big stomach but get upset when my clothes dont fit. I think its also because i dont have money to buy clothes...So im wearing alot of jeans and dying of heat because its summer in South africa now. Oh well as long as the baby is well thats all that matters.

Well last week thursday we found out our baby is a girl. Im so happy. So her name will be Isabella Dawn. Im starting to get restless at night and tired during the day. Ive have made myself some dresses and skirts so i dont boil up. I also found out last week thursday that i am RH Negative..which is not great but it will be fine..hated that glucose drink it got stuck in the back of my throat and i couldnt drink or eat anything for an hour. From the scan the nurse told me my baby is weighing 2.3 kilos at the moment..scary is that if she keeps picking up weight and is born on her due date she will be 4.3 kilos..thats huge. Oh and my SO is looking hard for a job. So things are looking good.

Monday, 2 June

Well almost 3 months since i gave birth to the love of my life. I swear that I cant imagine life without my baby Isabella...she means the world to me. Ive been back at work now for a month and i am very blessed since i can take Isabella with me but that is also a problem because she is alot of work (not that i dont know all babies are alot of hard work) Although being a Personal Assistant is very hard when you are trying to type and hold your wiggly 2 month old and answering phone while making sure she isnt crying is a little hard and by the time i have finished feeding and changing her and keeping her occupied and i get to do actual work i get less then half done then what i used to get done. But i love that she is with me all the time, although when i get home i am sooo tired and after washing bottle and expressing and bathing her and reading her a bedtime story and cooking and eating ...im so pooped and then i still only go to bed at 10 pm everynight and then get woken up about 2-3 times during the night and then it happens all over again, Thats y sometimes it is nice to come home and give her to daddy while i take a nice hot shower and express and wash bottles. I feel almost human again. All those single moms out there i give you a serious badge...You are amazing because i dont know how i would cope without Brad. So Basically im happy Isabella is 6 kgs and is turnign 3 months on the 13th of june. She is getting so big and smilling all the time she also doesnt like to lie still at all and always wants to be on the move constently ...she is happy when she is sitting/standing with mommy or daddy or going out shopping she is always looking around and her neck is so strong as well as her legs and she loves to kick. I hope all of you mommies little ones are just as fiesty as Isabella is..its a really good sign. Well she needs a bum change ....Mommy to the rescue.

Yey I am in SA...up her meals...I would suggest you increase her cereal in the morning to 6 spoons , give her apple or carrot for lunch , about 12h00 and give her cereal again at about 17h00 6teaspoons..you will be amazed..try to not cut down on the bottles..I know it sounds like force feeding, I was also quite sceptical, but I foound out by accident as Logan started screaming for more food one night(he use to eat veg at 16h00) so I had no more defrosted and the first thing I could think of to be quick (you know they dont have patience) I made cereal. He slept much better that same night. The next night I gave him cereal only , and it worked. He now has veg for lunch, I think the cereal at night is more filling. We tent to expect babies will eat the same amount for ages. Not to say, poor me getting up, but big babies get hungry. thats why she refuses the dummy I think. the bottle makes her tummy full. Logan did the same..Also is she an active baby? Logan is , they burns more calories ...Trust your instincts... I am not saying it will defirnately work, but one or two days of changing what she eats cannot harm I am sure. Also about waiting, I woudl not wait. Every baby is different. Some people start solids at 6 months only, Logan started at 4, he was hungry, How can I deny him food? Personal opinion I suppose. A friend of mine had a girl who is almost 3. She refused to introduce solids before 6 months. Little baby kept waking up, now she has terrible sleeping habits cause she was so use to waking up. She still does not sleep through, and needs a bottle. Same friend had a baby 2 months ago. She mentioned the other day, that she will not make the same mistake again. She said as soon as Adam starts looking for food she will feed as much as he wants.. There is also another story of a four year old waking up all night, so his mom started giving him a bowl of cereal AFTER dinner , and ..no more sleep problems. He was hungry. Not trying to convince you. Anyways, where do you live in SA?

Do you live in SA?

Hi there, is Isabella on solids..she might be hungry and that is why shes waking up. She sounds like a big girl! If she is, increase it. Logan was waking up about 10 times at a point. I increased his meals....last night he slept right through!!!! He was hungry. she is too, thats why she wants her bottle. Try it, nothing too loose hey?


*Dee* - Friday, 22 August
Mmm Meals , what a debat it can be. I think it depends on each baby. Logan wa born 10 march. He is a big boy and has been on solids from 3months and 3 weeks. i started with 4 tsp rice cereal each day, then increased to cereal in the morning and veg at 16h00. He has been eating solids for about six weeks now, and eats 8tsp ceral for bfst about 125ml fruit/veg for lunch 12h00, and 8tsp cereal at16h00, plus all his bottles. He weights 9kg at the moment (not fat just big). So I would say introduce and increase over a few weeks . I foudn Logan would wake up for extra bottle if he did not eat enough. last weeks I doubles hes meals (as above ) and now he almost sleep right through. Remember Mom know what best for he baby!

hey, i saw that you're having hair issues?! me too :P blah! i'm losing tons of hair all day everyday, and for the remarkable strands that stay attached to my head, reese manages to yank them out, lol. I read that because the prenatals kept your hair strong and healthy while preg, once you go off them your hair 'gets you back' and it goes to the extreme with oil and hair loss or dryness or whatever...but it should regulate itself after a few months. I'm literally cleaning my brush out daily, it's so gross! My husband even laughs and says my hair line is further back than his when i wear a pony tail...i don't think it's quite that bad though, haha. i think if you wash your hair in cold water once in a while its supposed to help.

You are so welcome.


kbpc3949 - Wednesday, 23 July
Trust me, I know the feeling....


crazyeights - Wednesday, 23 July
I'm so sorry about your dad. My dad and I are pretty estranged and I always wonder how I will feel when I get that news. His wife is okay. She's just really kind of selfish. It's all about her family. He really has nothing to do with his. I know it probably feels pretty open ended right now. Maybe you could find a quiet place and just sit and "talk" to him. (your dad) Say the things you need to say. Take care-Amy


collsbaby - Wednesday, 23 July
Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry to hear about your dad. How awful to not know right away. What a shame that he wouldn't see you guys. I'm very sorry.


Jo-Mama - Wednesday, 23 July
I'm sorry to hear about your dad. That's really sad. I hope you can find a way to say goodbye even though it was a strained relationship and you didn't get to say your last words to him. Take care.


kbpc3949 - Tuesday, 22 July
Sorry to read about your Dad. Btw, you Isabella looks so much like your husband in the pics of the two of them together! How sweet!
