Summertime!

My father-in-law bought a boat a few weeks back and him, Quintus and my brother-in-law has had a few "fun days" on it just fishing and relaxing! This photo was taken on one of those days. Can't wait to be able to take Chanette out on the boat!

My sweetheart! :)

All is well here in sunny South Africa. We've been enjoying some much needed rain, so refreshing! :) Nothing like a fresh summer afternoon rain! We have been working in our garden a bit too and things are starting to come along nicely after the cold winter months. Quintus and i went out for the morning to have a bit of "alone" time on Thursday, Chanette stayed with her granny. I must admit it felt so strange doing it for the first time...i couldn't stop thinking about her and if she's ok and i found myself walking to the baby clothing in every shop hahaha! I love her so much! It's amazing how your life changes once they are there :)


Our baby girl went for her 6 weeks injections on Monday! Oh my how awful :( she was in so much pain. The nurse let me hold her while she injected her two legs but it was so hard for me to literally see the pain and shock in her eyes! I know that all the mommies out there know how i felt. Have to take her again at 10 weeks and 14 weeks.....eek, so not looking forward to it :(

My girly after the injections. 

Later that evening :)

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 J...

5 September 2013

The day we have been waiting for and suddenly the 9 months of waiting felt like it went by so fast! I was scheduled for 7:15am to go into theater for my c-section. We were at hospital at 5am with my mom...she was such a great help! And my hubby was there next to me and with me constantly and as much as they would allow him to be! So after prepping me for theater and taking me there they did the epidural and made me lie down and it's amazing how fast it works. Within seconds i could feel it kicking in and minutes after that i could not feel my legs anymore...so weird and funny! Hehe! So it took a few more minutes before they would let Quintus in and he then came to sit at the top of my bed talking to me and keeping me calm...but i must say i was very calm and super excited to just see my little girl! Mommy and Daddy to be :) My mom and i  We are a family! :):):) 49cm 37cm Giving her a bit of formula right after birth because her blood sugar dropped t...
