Logan's Bump 13 weeks 2 days

My bump is growing...which means my beautiful baby boy is growing.

I love you Logan, I can't wait to hold you in my arms, but until then...hope you nice and warm and safe inside Mommy's tummy.

Made out of Glass...

The other day, Jade climbs on Granny's kitchen table to get to the sweeties... And i turn around and see it, (almost had heart failure). I shout at her: Jade get off there now, before you break something!!!!
Her reply, very confident and a bit irritated with her overprotective Mommy:

"Mom, I won't break, I'm not made out of glass"

Need I say  more! Granny then nicely explained to her, that even though she is not made out of glass, she can still break an arm or a leg, because bones do break.

By the way Jade...if I could I would put you in a bubble to keep you safe everyday!!

Bibbles is a Boy!

 My little hand...and I have 10 fingers and 10 toes, the Doctor counted them

 My leg and foot

 I am a BOY...

Size:  6cm
Heart rate: 155bpm
Sex: A BOY

Yes...we are having a boy...we are super excited! I must say I did expect it, because the pregnancy is completely different to Jade's, but it's still nice to have confirmation.

We are truly blessed that we have a beautiful daughter and now a gorgeous little baby boy. We thank GOD for loving us so much and blessing us with 2 Angels.

Bibbles' name is William Logan Alexander, we will call him Logan though.
He is going to be Mommy's new man
Daddy's best friend
But I think he will always be Jade's little Bibbles

We can't wait to meet you Logan, we love you already endlessly.

Where did the time go???

It feels like yesterday, when I held her for the first time in the hospital. I can remember taking her home and she was so small and helpless...and now look at her, the most beautiful, amazing, bright little girl you can ever imagine...and she is my Jadie pie.

I look at her and I can't help to wonder where did all the time go?

But then I think of all the giggles and laughs, the hugs the unconditional love, the breath taking moments, the heart felt kiss, the soft baby arms around my neck...and I remember...thats where the time went...a perfect life with our little miracle.

Jade, you make life complete, I love you so much, no words can ever describe what you mean to me. Mommy is unbelievably proud of you, you are the reason my heart beats.

Mommy to be Party - SUPRISE!!

Thank you to everyone who took the time to be there, I appreciate it so so much and thank you for the beautiful gifts....LUCKY LUCKY GIRL!! You all mean the world to me and I love you dearly.

Dankie Grissie vir al jou moeite, dit was sooooooooooooo groot suprise en ek weet jy het so baie moeite gedoen, ek waardeer dit ontelbaar baie....en ek waardeer jou!!!!!! Ek is onbeskryflik lief vir jou, jy is my sussie en my beste este een uit 'n miljoen...triljoen...biljoen...gazillion BFF!!!!

Thank you Lord for my Girlfriends....how blessed am I to have Angels as Girlfriends. Amen

Jade Kruger Park Visit

So, Jade comes to me and asks: "Mom can I go with Granny and Granpa to the park"
What do I do.....
What do I do.....
Be selfish and say no...because I am going to miss her too much (which was a very tempting thought I must admit)
Or let her go and enjoy a wonderful holiday with her Granny and Grandpa in the Kruger Park...CAMPING!!!
So I did the right thing and said yes, with a very heavy heart.

Jade growing up is very hard for me....I still feel like she is a tiny baby that I just want to hold in my arms all day long to make sure nothing happens. But that's not life...I know...but it doesnt make it any easier knowing.

She had an absolute blast, her cousins Noa and Shannon was also with and from the photo's and updates I got, they really had an amazing time.

She saw Mufasa, then she says: "Mommy I saw Mufasa today, but then he went into the grass and he looked a bit creepy, so I think it was Scar" lol
She saw Pumba, Melvin, Gloria, Martie and Elephants.
But the best part was, she got to sleep in the Caravan, the whole week before she went, I heard about her special cupboard she has in the caravan and her bed.

I got special gifts from her when she came home. A beautiful beaded bracelet and a rhino key ring, which, and I quote, "I bought myself for you with my own money"
I will treasure it forever my beautiful Angel, you will never know how much these gifts mean to me.
Daddy also got a key ring, he is very chuffed too!

Thank you Granny and Granpa for taking her with and spoiling her, I can tell this will be a holiday she will remember for a very long time to come.

Nothing beats that moment though when I saw her and her whole face lit up and she screamed MOMMY!!!
