It's been a while but I have finally found a gap :) I love pictures for many reasons but my favourite one today is the fact that they capture each moment perfectly and so it enables me to just upload - without having to type out looooong dissertations you can see what we have all been up to.

All the U/8 boys playing mini cricket at the Wanderers stadium.

Emma and Leah playing at the Bakers mini cricket day.

Reece and his buddies at the Bakers mini cricket clinic, they had a full day of fun and games. it was also televised on Super Sport.

A gorgeous view from the flat in Balito, Thanks mom and dad for a great holiday! it's horrible being so far away from you all.

Another view from the top :)

Reece at the sharks board in Umghlanga.

Em at the sharks board in Umghlanga.

That is as close as she would go :) it took forever to convince her that the shark was actually dead - she only agreed after Reece touched it.

Lakeisha, Emma, Caibryn, Laya and Elisha.

Em and Caibryn

Very proud of these :) even if I do say so myself - made them from scratch!

Em and her friends on her birthday

Caibryn's birthday - she had her face painted and had a blast with her cousins at spur.

Caibryn's birthday take two - she had a cake and party at school with Pauline and her friends.

Drew at 4 months old, he is growing so quickly and is so much fun!! always happy, even when he has reason not to be :)

Mom and Drew, the day he was born - what a day......I have more pictures on another computer so I will have to blog about this very special day soon

Reece and Drew meet for the first time:)

Catch you up :)

I know that i have been really bad with updating my blog, I promise to get that all sorted out this week (mom :) )

Watch this space ;)

Terrified

For all my fellow American Idol fans, Didi sang a song by Kara Dioguardi called "Terrified" the clip of her singing isn't very long so here is one of Kara and Jason Reeves singing.... I wasn't sure of how Kara sounded but i think it's my new favourite song for this season so far, I love this song!

Hope you enjoy it as much as i did..... P.S. they only start singing around a minute and a half into the clip.

4D Fun

We had two appointments yesterday, first off we went to the OBGYN to check that we are well and are on track ! Our baby boy is 1.33kgs at 28 weeks (G) the doc says that he is growing quickly and I might find that I'll be greatful to be having a C-Section - looks like he will be as tall as his big brother :)

Then we were off to have the 4D scan and found that all he wanted to do was sleep :) he kept hiding his face! but we were lucky enough to catch 1 or 2 nice profile pics.....to me he looks a little like Caibryn....I have uploaded a picture of her...tell me what you think.

I can't wait to meet him.

My little carrot

It's official :) Our little boy is roughly 550g and the length of a carrot :) lol! at this stage i don't think a very long carrot because his movements are more like little nudges rather than fully-fledged kicks. His eyelids and eyebrows are developed, you could even see the lenses in his eyes :) The Professor we visited with is a fetal specialist, he cross-sectioned every inch of his body from his brain to his toes to rule out any major problems re the baby's development.
And so our journey continues, I can't wait to see what he looks like :)
I remember having the same feelings waiting for Caibryn, it is so much fun seeing how different she is to Em.... Emma is so sweet and gentle, very aware of how people around her feel....very sensitive :) ......and Caibryn's favourite thing to do while teasing her siblings is whisper "NOBODY CARES!!" thinking that i can't see her - she is super cheeky to say the least.
Can't wait!
