Lazy

I havn't been updating because I've been just plain down LAZY!!

However I'm going to the gynae today so I'll have more bambino news to share with you.

Our little bambino

He/She is growing so fast its unbelievable. This was the best shot we could get because he/she was constantly moving around in my womb. This scan shows our bambino at 12wks and 3days. All the organs are now developed with hands, fingers and legs and everything looks good. I'm not yet passed the nausea and morning sickness but hopefully its coming to an end very soon. I'll be going into my second trimester so things should get easier, I pray.

"Morning" sickness is misleading

Exhilaration and exhaustion, agony and ecstasy. These are the words that describe best what I'm going through and feeling at the moment. I found out quite early that I was pregnant, I think I was about 3weeks or so and I had no feelings of nausea or anything close to that and therefore I thought I'd be part of the 'lucky' 10% of the women in this world that don't experience any of the symptoms related to morning sickness or what I call the whole day sickness because it strikes you at any given time night or day.
And then it hit me like a bulldozer smashing down high sky scrapers. I was halfway into my 4th week when I woke up one morning went on with business as usual when suddenly I felt a strange queazyness in my stomach and guess where I ended up... in the bathroom almost hugging the toilet in desperation. From then on my life as never been the same. I have constant nausea and horrible heartburn that I could spit fire and there's ABOSLUTELY NOTHING I can do about it.
Everything that everybody precribes just doesn't do the trick, it's like trail and error every single day. What works today won't necesarily help tomorrow. They say that when your baby is eventually born amnesia kicks in and makes you forget about all the horrible things you went through during pregnancy and so you have more children and you go through it again. I hope my amnesia kicks in pretty soon because at this rate one child is quite enough. Don't get me wrong, I have my good days and days when I just want to die. On the bad days, even staying in bed doesn't provide relief, because I feel as horryd lying down as I do standing up.

Generally this should all go away after the 3month mark and they say it's like a magical feeling the day you wake up brush your teeth without activating the gag reflex and get dressed without having to pause to put your head in the toilet. I am eagerly anticipating that day!!

IF GOD DOESN'T WORK IT OUT THE

WAY I THOUGHT HE SHOULD HAVE...

I KNOW HE'S GOT A BETTER WAY.

This my story!

A turning point

Why is it that us as humans seldom learn from our past experiences and we don't always apply wisdom and knowledge when we reach a certain point in our lives? Is it because we fail to see that what's right in front of us is not what we really need or even want for that matter or are we just suckers for punishment and we love getting our selves into situations that are complicated and just simply doesn't add any value to our lives whatsoever.

I've been this situation one too many times and its time for me to re asses my position. You know one thing that I learnt in life is that it's pretty hard to find a good friend(I'm not referring to the husband and wife relationship), I've had the privilege of having one back in high school and it started at the beginning my high school career and carried on right through until after I married. We don't see or hear much of each other anymore for situational reasons I guess but when I do pick up the phone to call her It's like we never lost contact at all. I don't think I actually told her how much I appreciated her friendship and how much her understanding towards me meant. I will carry this with me forever because I realized that this kind of thing happens once in life and when you get a chance at it you should embrace it, nurture it, appreciate it and hold onto it because it might never come your way again. I'm very sad to say that I did none of the above and hence why we're not as close as what we used to be. I guess that was my chance at true friendship...

I've tried on many occasions to be the best friend that I could possibly be and I always ended up with the short end of the stick, I've been disregarded, hurt and misunderstood one too many times I guess and that's why I'm giving up on the idea all together. I don't know maybe someone will surprise me but for now I like the idea that my hubby is my best friend and that he won't let me down because we in this till "death us do part".

Excusez-moi?

You Are a Bit Prissy

From time to time you can be a princess, but these days, who isn't a little high maintenance? You know what you want, and you're definitely not afraid to ask for it. (Just refrain from having a temper tantrum if you don't get your way!) There's nothing wrong with having high standards... as long as they're occasionally low enough to allow spontaneity and fun!

How Prissy Are You?

We are pregnant!

You see that "thing" in the black circle?? That's what you need to be looking at...Yes guys and gals it's official. David and I are expecting our very first baby, this scan shows the growing embryo at 5weeks and 2 days. You can also view the growth at the link on my blog. We also got to hear the heart beat today and gosh how fast it was beating...At this stage it's about 124bpm compared to a grown human at 78bpm. It was pretty amazing!!! We are looking forward to this journey.

I need a holiday

You're simply the best

I have a wonderful husband. He is truly a beautiful person with so much character, I adore him and is certainly blessed to have him in my life. He fills up my empty spaces, he lifts my spirit and always puts a smile on my face (except when we disagree offcourse). I've never known anyone to be so optimistic as he is and almost always shuts out any negativity. I been getting up very early these days for work and I'm not a morning person so I'm slow and cranky but he manages to wake me with gentle kisses on my face, he makes me coffee and takes my car out of the garage for me. One morning there was no milk for coffee so he left at 5h30 (when its still dark outside) in the morning to just to buy milk so that I could have my morning cuppa. Very thoughtful hey.

The one thing that's so admirable about him is his love for God and the principles he stands for. He brings so much stability into our home because of this. He always put God first in everything he does. He is a true testimony on living for others. I pray that God grants you the desires of your heart.

My love, thank you for all you do for me, for supporting me and encouraging me. You're such a kind and gentle person and I appreciate you very much. Thank you for having so much patience with me, for your understanding, for making me laugh a hell of a lot and just never giving up...thank you, thank you, thank you. You mean an awful lot to me babe and I LOVE YOU!!!

Wordless Wednesday - Say cheese

I can be a friend

You Are a Good Friend Because You're Fun

You are energetic, amusing, and always up for a good time. Optimistic and genuinely happy, you help people see the sunny side of life. And you're always up for a party... no matter how big or small. You're usually the first one to celebrate a friend's success. Anyone who's interesting or fun is welcome in you circle of friends. You're not the type of person to exclude or make fun of someone who's a little different. Your friends need you most when: They're down or depressed You really can't be friends with: Anyone who's stuck up or chronically unhappy Your friendship quote: "It is one of the blessings of old friends that you can afford to be stupid with them."

What Makes You a Good Friend?

"Ra Ra Avis"

Last week Thursday I had the best day in my life so far. Have you ever experienced true pampering? I mean really pampering and not the thing you do to yourself but the one where someone else does it for you and to you? Well I have and I realized the true meaning of the word "pampering". Myself and a friend of mine, Bronny, were booked into a spa for half a day by our husbands. We had no idea of this up until the morning of our departure, we were told to be ready to leave home by 10am and that our appointment would be at 12pm. Puzzled by all the secrecy we wondered where would they want us to go if we were to travel for almost TWO HOURS!! Nevertheless we didn't hesitate to go.
Upon our arrival we were asked to undress and to wear gowns and slippers and then move over to dinning room to have a warm welcoming cup of filter coffee. By this time we figured out where we were but we were still kinda unaware of what exactly we'll be doing and off course for how long. After we finished our coffee we were led to a candle lit room with two benches almost like beds with soft serene music playing in the back round and a alluring smell of herbs and oils. We were then given each a "Indian head massage" and what a massage! you actually feel the sensation right down to your feet and all the way down your spine. That lasted about for about 15-20mins...too short if you ask me. Then we sat down for a lovely lite lunch.

We were then ushered into another room with another bed but this time with a tent like object that covered your entire body with just your head open, this treatment was called "steam therapy". A very light steam that blows through the tube with your body in it, its meant to detoxify your body, open up pores and assist your metabolism. I found it to be very soothing.

Oh!! then my personal favourite, "Flotation therapy" this was absolutely amazing!!! Its basically a little pool or a big bath tub filled with warm water. The water that they use in this bath is like the water in the dead sea, it makes you float all the time. The water off course also contains different minerals which penetrate your skin making it super soft and clean. this was loads of fun and laughter, thoroughly enjoyed that!! We then finished off with facials and pedicures which were totally out of this world, I actually feel asleep during my pedicure and was even snoring lighty. I felt like brand new person when I stepped out of that place. I would definitely recommend this to all the ladies out there(the men too) Thank you guys!!!
