Time is not standing still... :)

Kiara Lodge

Where has the time gone! Can't believe it's been about 5 weeks since my last blog. And so much has happened since then. We had a wonderful time on holiday...it was so peaceful and simply breathtaking with the mountains around us. We just relaxed and loved every minute of it :) 




25 weeks

Little Chanette's cot arrived and i am so happy with it! We had to order it and waited a few weeks while they made it. My parents bought it as a gift :) 


All is going well with us both! Went for a scan on Tuesday and she is growing pretty fast now. She almost reached an extra 1kg since last month. She now weighs 1819g :) 
So cute and we got to see more of her little face this time, the nose, eyes and upper lip! Simply adorable haha! I am getting so excited now as time is getting closer for her arrival. I know it's still a few weeks to go, but i can't wait! So far her date of birth is the 5th of Sept.

My babyshower was on the 28th of June and was i spoiled!!! hehe! Got so many wonderful gifts...my sisters made the day super special! :) loved it!

Two pregnant...one NOT hehe!

One happy girl at 28 weeks!

Claudine and i :) She can't wait for her cousin to arrive...

I got so many gifts, it was amazing! I did not buy anything before the babyshower, cause i wanted to be sure i did not buy anything unnecessary. This pic below are just the clothing.... 


Blankets, vests, toys, toiletries for baby, towels and loads more are not in the pic. Can you imagine how excited it made me to look through all of these cute outfits and know that i will be able to dress my little girl in them soon?! 

I am so blessed :)

Only thing that's getting uncomfortable these days is sleeping at night...and getting up so many countless times lol! Swollen feet, backpain and heartburn are the new symptoms, but i am coping! ;)

My hubby is helping me every step of the way, whether it's with backpain, swollen feet or just a hug when i need it, he's there! I could not have asked for a better husband. He brings me something to eat and drink every morning before i get up and makes sure i'm comfortable before he starts with his work for the day. He works from home now which is great! He does his own thing and i go on with my daily chores etc. but it's so nice to know he's still in the same house. He works very long hours...i'm so proud of him!

So i am almost 31 weeks now...will update on photos again as soon as i can. I am not on the computer much these days now that hubby is working from home, but i promise to make time to blog! 

God bless you all!

    Look at all those cute pink clothes! I am excited to start gathering clothes. I can borrow enough to clothe probably 5 little girls, so I should not buy anymore until I sort through what I can borrow...

    Baby showers are so much fun and so exciting. With Elijah, I had three showers within one week! With Gabriel, I only had one shower, but that was fine. I received so many nice gifts. I can't believe you only have nine weeks to go! Wow! Time is certainly NOT standing still!

You look incredibly happy w/your man! :] nothing like it. little chanette looks like she got quite spoiled indeed...so exciting. love baby things! and your swelling, heartburn & being uncomfortable will be but a distant memory in a short time!! the old wives tale is heartburn means your baby will have hair!! in my case it was true!! :]]

Latest photos before the holidays! :)

My mother-in-law made this cute sheep for Chanette! I just love it :) It is just a stuffed sheep...and it looks so cute in her cot. It lies down and rests against the cot or her pillow. It is my dad's birthday and one of my sister's in December. So we went out for dinner on the 16th of Dec to celebrate :) My dear parents! My sister Chantel's little girl, Luzelle. They had a photoshoot....simply adorable!!! :) She lights up my life! :) I thank God for you every day my darling Chanette!!! :) This was taken today...at the age of 15 weeks and 4 days :) We will be leaving for Cape Town next week Wednesday for a short holiday and to attend a wedding! Really looking forward to it! I will be sure to post pics and news about it all when we get back in January! God bless you all dear family and friends :) Happy New Year and enjoy the holidays with your families! May God be with you xxx Hugs :) Leana and Chanette ;)

19 weeks...update! :)

Morning from cold but yet sunny South Africa! This week is my 19 weeks mark...time sure is going faster now. And i am loving being pregnant! :) For the first time i can actually enjoy it all! I went for my last scan about 2 weeks ago and we found out it's a GIRL!!! So exciting :D Her name will be Chanette...i read a series of books before we got married and this was the author's name and i just loved it immediately! So we got our first pink outfit from my parents and now the shopping can begin! hehe! I felt Chanette move on Saturday...it was such an amazing feeling...wow! I have felt some movements before but always thought maybe it's just my stomach or i'm hungry...never strong enough to think it's actually baby moving. But this weekend it was so real! :) I am loving the idea of a little person growing inside of me and knowing that i will have the privalege to be her momma!!! :) Other than that it's going well here in SA...it's autumn now so g...
