Hello bleeps. You haven't heard from me in a while because hackers think it's fine to just remove my site and place their strange messages on this place. On the 22nd of August I noticed that I had been hacked by Sizzling Soul. This dude even has a facebook page here (if you go there you can … [Read more...]
My blog got hacked / Second Antenatal Class
Last Sunday I was about to post about the second and last childbirth class, when I got a huge surprise. When I went to my blog I was presented with a violation. It had been "Hacked by Ziqor" and was no more. Funnily enough, I wasn’t as panic stricken as I thought I’d be. This was also due to my … [Read more...]
Infertility is like driving a skedonk.
Mel from Stirrup Queens has had a great idea: write a post about infertility using an analogy. So in typical South African style, I am going to say - Infertility is like driving a skedonk. That is an affectionate S. A. colloquial term for an old battered motor car. I read this … [Read more...]

My blood count on Monday was 708.5 (up from 160.7 on Friday) which is just great. No morning sickness, although I expect it to be coming … [Read more...]
A Week of Wonders
I don’t know where to begin. I should probably begin at the beginning. Last Thursday I had a bit of a bad day. I thought the weather was really warming up (it is Spring here in South Africa) and I decided instead of pants and socks to wear a skirt and sandals. Big mistake. I froze. I could … [Read more...]
My Support
I have to say that getting through my operation and everything it has involved could not have been achieved without my cheerleaders.
