I am so incredibly blessed. I have such a wonderful group of friends and they made me feel so special. My cell group leader organized the whole thing, but we had it at my house. She gave me this awesome quilt which makes animal sounds. Baby bear table cloth I … [Read more...]
Grow, baby grow!
Hello bleeps! Well, not much is really new. I have been resting at home trying to create an optimal place for baby to do his thing? Blood pressure readings have come down, but I’m sure they go up every now and then when I worry? On Monday we went to my GP down the road because an insect had … [Read more...]

Still resting
Someone asked for an update (Mommy to Be), but actually there isn’t much to update. I have pretty much been in bed. Every now and then I sit for a bit just to give myself some variety. Blood pressure has been pretty good, although there have been some fluctuations. On Monday when … [Read more...]
Hospital and bed rest
Hello bleeps! This is a first for me, writing a post from DH’s iPad. I have been a bit scarce, but I have a good reason.

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...]
Hospital Tour
I was so excited to get the lay of the land of the place (Sandton Mediclinic) where I will be birthing my precious little baby, especially after sitting through the home birth / birth centre brigade on Sunday. We started off at the labour ward where if you are going the natural way, you will … [Read more...]
First Birth Preparation Class
I should actually subtitle this post: "I guess I’m not a tree hugger after all..." Today we had our first session of the Baby Preparation Class. I feel a bit emotionally exhausted. It’s not just the avalanche of information being thrown at us, it is the very strong direction that this … [Read more...]
