Remember Me?
Shoohh..it has been ages since I have updated my blog. Well as you can see, above are some updated pictures of my beautiful Jada...Jada Grace
Jada is three months old on the 8th Feb...and is the angel in my life. She has given me so many reasons to redirect my life in a "healthier" way. She keeps me calm and centres my soul. She is drinking 5 x 180 mls of formula a day...and, once we put her down between 6-7 at night, sleeps through to 5-6 am the next morning...so it seems like Midnight feeds are a thing of the past.
My life has been very busy since the birth of Jada. I was back at work two weeks after her birth. Unfortunately, I have a tricky month end that no-one else can manage. Fortunately, I could take Jada with me....so it was an exhausting time.
Then my sister, Aunty D, came to visit from New Zealand....yahhh....I love my sisters. It was great having her here. And it was great to let Jada get some loving from her Aunty D.
I also joined Weigh Less two weeks after Jada....like hell..little Lotta in the making..I have a total of 25 kgs to loose...I was off to a great start which has fizzled out very quickly. But, I am refocussing this week. I cannot let my sister C loose more than me....never...I would rather starve...smile..
The Universe has also started off the year with a great big shake....everything familiar in my life has been rattled...horrible at the time...but essential for growth
This year my blog is going to have a change of tone. For so long now, all my focus and energy have been on conceiving and bringing my little soul safely into our world... now it is my time.
I started the year off with a list of achievable, measurable goals...I will share in a later blog...but I need to get back to basics...I need to re-invent myself to be someone other than "Jadas Mom"..
I do not know how I am going to do this but I know it must be done..little steps, little steps....
For the time being my B and I have decided to embark on 100 days of nookie nooks.. this is based on a book I read called "Just Do It". We started off well last week Tuesday...but fell off the band wagon on day 3. So we called it quits and have started the cycle again last night. I will keep you posted......so tonight we are on day 2/100
So heres to 2011...and love, light and divine blessings

Ceasar 8.11.2010
I have done a blog posting on its own for this topic.....It won't be very long but it is one that fills my heart with sadness.
My daughter was born on the 8th November 2010 at 7:15......
On the 8th November 2010 at 11:15 my dogs got hold of my precious kitten Ceasar and killed him. My heart was broken and I really have not taken the time to mourn for my precious, precious baby kitty.
"To my Ceasar, my precious little Kitty
You were with me for such a short time yet you filled my heart with love. I do not understand the reasons for your parting but need to believe that you were sent to me for a reason. You showed me so much love and I will forever miss you.
Maybe one day, I will understand...maybe one day
"Where one life begins another must end"
Forever rest in peace, my kitty baby
Mommy loves you"
Finally....A Blog Update
Shooohh...I know it has been awhile since I updated my blog...but time has just flown. Adapting to life as a Mom is exciting and challenging. Jada will be three weeks old tomorrow..can you believe it?
I am still in awe of our little girl. She "guzzles" her foodies (I am breastfeeding) very nicely and has fattened out.
My Birth Story : (for my readers not on fertilicare)
How do you start to describe the day your world changed…?
It all started on Thursday at work…I was very uncomfortable. I called Dr RvR and was advised to go back to the labour ward. At Sandton, I was put on the monitoring machine and, yahoo….I was booked into the labour ward again. I was put on a drip and monitored on a regular basis.
Dr RvR was trying very hard to keep our little Jada in a little longer…however our daughter would hear nothing of it. So, I was booked for my Caesarean on Monday, 8 Nov 2010, at 7:00.
Early Monday morning, I was wheeled from the labour wards to theatre. My B was all “gowned” out…and ready to go. The theatre was a hive of activity…the Anaesthetist explained the whole procedure and then we got down to business.
The feeling of your legs going numb is really very funny…and I was laughing when I was told to lift my legs. Dr RvR and partner started cutting….It was absolutely fascinating the feeling of tugging and pulling. Then the moment, I have been waiting for all my life happened…the sound of an angel filled the air and my daughter was lifted up in front of me. I could not contain the tears as I looked at this beautiful creation…this was my daughter….this was my Jada.
Little Jada Grace was born into our world on the 8 November 2010 at 7:15 weighing 2.9 kgs, with a mop of dark brown hair. My little girl is the splitting image of her Mommy….
My B was whisked away from my side and it was his turn to get to admire his daughter. At this stage, Dr RvR realised that my appendix was about to burst….Dr RvR and partner decided that my appendix needed to come out immediately. It was his first appendix removal in 20 years… If I had not gone into preterm labour, my appendix would have burst within two weeks…My daughter delivered my final miracle…she protected me
What I was not prepared for was the emotions I would experience once I met our Jada. It was a love that has been there since the start of time….it is a love that has no boundaries…it is a love so pure that tears flow freely. It is a love that I would walk through pain again and again to experience
Thank You Universe for my piece of perfection "
Well, after all the excitement of Jada's arrival, I decided to get some "order" in my life. My sister C and I joined Weigh Less. I have 25 kgs to loose...between pregnancy and fertility treatment I have become quite podge. Saturday was our first weigh in session...I was down 1.7 kgs...Yahoo...
On Saturday night we had our first "date night"....my sister C babysat little Jada while B and I attended his Xmas function......I enjoyed myself (all 3 hours of it) but missed our little one terrible. We both could not wait to pick her up....our little Angel. My sister did a wonderful job looking after Jada.......well done C
Anyway, I have updated some photos...so enjoy...
Love Me

36 Weeks and "I Am So Over This"
Okay..I have not updated for quite awhile. Life has been very busy...firstly two weeks ago I went into Prem Labour, booked into the hospital and put on a drip from Thursday through to Monday. (What Fun!!!!!!). Dr RvR managed to stop contractions and let my little Angel grow a little bigger
Today, I went for my 36 Weeks scan. Jada weighed in at 3.4 kgs with another month still to grow. (Little Lotta in the making). Dr RvR showed us that she has lotsa hair...I was so happy.
I am so over being pregnant at the moment. I am up 19.5 kgs (gloat sisters gloat). I have started getting the whole "heartburn", swollen ankles and have developed two best friends in the shape of hemroids....yahoo...!!! I am so heavy...I walk at a snails pace. (I am becoming the kinda pregnant woman I used to hate - get over it, you are just pregnant and not dying)
I was hoping that Dr RvR was going to book me in for a Caesar sooner than later...but, alas, he smiled and said "You are beautiful"....so my Caesar date is the 18th of November 2010....
I already had a plan. I am going to start walking soon....I am going to rub my tummy...and I am going to have lotsa "Nookies"....maybe all of the above will encourage Jada to come a little sooner...What do ya think? Hee hee.....
Anyway, enjoy the plenty pictures...
