Weereens gaan Logan musiek doen.

Logan het besluit dis maar weer tyd om terug te gaan musiek toe. Dit kom uit hy was bang vir n harde instrument. Elektriese kitaar. So toe besluit hy dis nie meer daar nie so ons gaan weer volgende woens oggend maar gaan.

Hul kan tog so besluiteloos wees maar ja, dis seker maar kinders.

Kan nie wag om van jul te hoor nie.

6 Weeks Left

So I was going through my page and realised I hadn't really written much about my pregnancy.. And my last real post was at six weeks, whilst still fairly ignorant and over excited. It's amazing how many things happen throughout nine months.

So the pregnancy on the whole hasn't been too bad, if i could say so without jinxing it it's been fairly textbook. (Even with a thyroid disease) I'm currently somewhere between 33 and 34 weeks, have gained 11 kilo's of which 2 belong to bean, have a waistlin… Continue

7 Salige ure

Van die naweek af slaap Ellard mooi deur en Salomie is ook nie meer elke 30/60 minute wakker nie. Sy was nog so 3-4 keer per nag wakker, maar dis al 'n reuse verbetering. Gisteraand het ons egter 7 volle, fantastiese, salige ure van slaap gehad. Dit was onbeskryflik. Ek voel nie meer soos 'n zombie nie. Ongelukkig sal dit blykbaar nog 'n hele paar sulke nagte vat voor ek soos my ou self voel, maar daar is lig aan die einde van die tonnel! Jippee. Ek het my egter dood gespook om vanoggend uit die… Continue
