So what is the plan with all this unplanedness?

What a year, I am actually amazed I survived, then again its not over yet ....

Pregnancy is so hard and it sucks! Now add a 3 year old who wants to rule the house and a very dependent almost 1 year old and you've got yourself a madhouse. 

They wake up at 5 am with an energy level of a kizilion, always hungry. The one talks non stop while the other rolls down the tiolet paper, which he can now reach.

There is toys and food everywhere, thank God for a maid every second day since my huge belly makes it a little hard to bend down at the moment.

By 8 am before daddy is even awake Mister has to sleep again. And apparently there is nothing more satisfying than asking your mom 10 000 questions the more she tells you to please be quiet.

Finally asleep the Madam is hungry AGAIN!! And oh we can be so very specific about what we want. 

So now I have maybe an hour, Madam gets to watch one dvd. Do I take a bath or shower, do I get dressed, do I make myself breakfast or maybe just go lie down again?

So the day goes on with my ever so busy Mister and Madam until finally at 7 pm we go to bed. I'd rather skip ahead most of the day as no words can describe the chaos that happens here.

Through the night they make turns to wake me up, the one wants milk the other water. Then there is a mosquito or they are hot or some wet the bed.

 Just as I think I can go to sleep my mind starts going in a thousand directions. What will happen when there is three? Where exactly on this bed will number three fit?

What happens when labor starts? What if they need me or want me? Will I be rocking one baby to sleep while the other is crowning? Will I be making a sandwich with a baby still attached to the placenta?

My poor crazy baby brain!!! I have no plan what so ever, and basically winging it every second of the day. Yet I wouldn't change a thing, except maybe wish away this cold.

My chaos is my sanity and I love it. Most days I loose it, and things are so far from perfect. But this is my life and I won't change a thing.  Hell yes you can call me crazy, I am so crazy I am not even offended by it.

Can't wait for my baby girl to surprise me and create just a little more chaos in my life!!!

The birth of my babies

I have two amazing birth stories to share.   Both natural and unmedicated.   My stories make me proud, not only to be a mother but to be a woman.   It was Valentine’s Day 2010; I was 39 weeks pregnant with my first. I spend the whole day hoping this won't be a silly cliché love baby (I was single at the time).   So baby waited until 2am on the 15th. I woke up thinking I wet the bed, but as I got up and the water kept flowing, I knew it was time.   I grabbed my bags, woke my mother, and off we went.   We got to the birth centre about 02:30; the midwife checked me and decided I needed to get into the birth pool immediately.   Then the contractions started.   At first they weren't that bad, and I joked about them.   But they grew more intense, none the less I handled the pain very good.   By 5am I was so tired and just wanted to sleep.   I got into bed and immediately fell asleep.   By 7am I woke up in allot of pain, ...

Ietsie afrikaans - My eie borsvoed journey

As iemand anders terug kyk op my lewe sou hulle seker se dat borsvoed die obvious keuse vir my was.   My ma is al amper 30 jaar n La Leche League leidster, en het al vier haar dogters geborsvoed tot ons self gespeen het. Ek het gedrink tot ek amper vyf was since na my nog n sussie gekom het met wie ek my lekker melkies moes deel.   Ons het groot geword tussen borsvoed mammas en daar was niks so cool soos om saam te gaan na n LLL meeting die eerste Woensdag van elke maand nie. In 2010 op die ouderdom van 20 het ek as enkel mamma geboorte gegee aan n pragtige baba dogtertjie Cara-Mia.   En since my ma vir my n Womanly art of breast feeding as persent gegee het by my baby shower, het dinge sommer dadelik baie goed gegaan.   Daar was moeilike dae en rowwe dae.   Huilende en laggende dae. Maar ek het my borsvoed journey baie geniet.   Mense vra so baie hoekom ek borsvoed en hoekom ek so lank aan gehou het.   Aan die begin was my antwoord altyd, omdat...

Awesome news

. God wants to use me to help other woman and children, and I am reporting for duty. I feel so blessed and know God has a huge plan for us. At first I was shocked now I am over joyed!!! I am about 5 weeks pregnant with my third baby.  Every child is a huge gift from God.  I feel so honored to be given this huge responsibility.  I make so many mistakes every day but I know that He will always pick me up and put me back on track. I did not mention God in any of my previous posts, I thought i would keep religion out of it and just speak in general.  But I was wrong to do so, cause whithout his mercy I am nothing and I'm capable of nothing. My God is an awesome God and I need to speak up.
