Hi All,
Apologies for only posting now. It has been very hectic at work as I am now trying to get everything done before I go on Maternity leave in 3 weeks time.
Last weekend was a busy weekend that of course left me exhausted. On Saturday morning we woke up early so we could to the mall so I could buy bigger maternity tops as my belly keeps growing.
I then made my way to Krugersdorp for my stork party. It was really a lovely afternoon with family and friends. We received such lovely gifts and lots of clothes, my little boy now has everything and we are ready for his arrival on the 1st of September. We are really excited to meet Ethan, we wonder daily what will he look like and if he will have hair but most important we pray that he is in good health. Thank you to everyone who spent the day with us, it was fun chatting to everyone and Hannah absolutely entertained everyone with dancing, clapping and just being real cute. Hannah played with all the other children and was completely exhausted when we drove home, she fell asleep instantly in the car on the way home.
On Sunday we went and did the usual grocery shopping and then went to have lunch by friends of ours. After lunch Stephan and I went home and started on the moving of furniture, disinfecting Ethan's cot so we could put his bedding in and I started washing all of Ethan's clothes and blankets. We are now ready for his arrival.
The week was real busy and exhausting, I am making sure everything is sorted before i go on maternity leave so I am not really getting achance to just take a breather. I do realise though that I must start slowing down and taking it easy, my body is really taking strain now.
On Thursday afternoon Hannah went for her last injections, two, one in each arm. This time around she cried from the very start but stopped real quickly afterwards. It still breaks my heart everytime to take her for these injections but it has to be done to keep her healthy. I just put on a brave face and let her know it is nearly over, its amazing how these little ones have so much trust in you as a parent and that they seek that reassurance, comfort and security from you. Even though you were the one holding them tight to get the injections, they still turn to you for protection. Hannah is my little girl and will stay that way forever.
The last visit to the doc confirmed that Ethan was already 2.146kg and that he is growing well, in fact he is a whole week ahead. I see the doc again on the 12 August and will then be able to do an update on how big he will be then. We are so blessed with a precious little girl and now a wonderful little boy to complete our family. I am getting real tired and sore now, although i am trying to enjoy these last 4 weeks as this will be my last pregnancy.
Well thats all the news for now. Keep well and God Bless you all!!
Love Us
