I'm 1 day old!







All together now, Aaah, no really he is too cute and has so much hair and has such big hands. I will share a comment from another friend of mine, also a Nicci, who told me in an email after seeing the pictures in no uncertain terms that:
"He is actually much bigger than I thought and the thought of pushing something that size out of my 'vajayjay' terrifies me half to death! Matthew (her unborn baby) is already 1.8kg thank you very much! And he is at least going to double in size! HELLO???? Can you feel the pain?"
Had to laugh at that, although not sure why I am laughing.

Am dying to go back to hospital today and hopefully I can get away from work to go and see him and Kim again. But she is doing so well and was up walking when I arrived yesterday to see them, which I was really impressed by, I would probably still be in bed ringing my bell, asking someone to feed me grapes and fan me with a palm.

Well lets see who is next? Catherine Davis, then Nicci Brooker (as above) then Caroline Avnit and then either Ronel Killian or Taryn Fowler (depending as Ronel is having twins so they could come earlier than expected) and then after that newly added to the list is Tammy Smith who has recently discovered she is pregnant roughly about 3-4 weeks. So once again people I tell you there is something in the water.

Have a wonderful day and will leave you with a couple more pics of Levi Nel.

Welcome Baby Levi Nel to the World!

A big CONGRATULATIONS to Kim and Carl Nel whos baby boy Levi Nel was born this morning at 2:50am at 3.16kg at Milnerton MediClinic. He surprised them both by coming a bit earlier than planned, 9 days to be exact. But nevertheless he is here and healthy from all accounts and we wish the whole family much joy with him. Hopefully will post a couple of pics soon.

Cape Town is still in the grips of what the weather lady margot on SABC says is a 'Cold Snap' not sure what on earth that is supposed to mean? Anyone out there do Geography, not me I did Biology, I can tell you where to find your knees / ears etc. but not what a Cold Snap is, all I can tell you is that it is BLADDY cold! Snow in Plett, Snow in Franschoek, starting to think we have traded places with all our UK friends and family. Basically spent the entire weekend at home watching movies it was too cold to do anything. However my husband Clive had to play golf on Sunday with his golf 'society' and it was pouring with rain, but they play in rain believe it or not! Our good friends Veronica and Steven made us a lovely curry on Friday night and we enjoyed that with a glass of red wine or two, that was about the most interesting thing that we did this weekend. Also a big WOW and congratulations to Paul Cobley on his Music CD I think it is fantastic! Hoping it moves onto bigger things.

Well thats me for today, I am off to see a newborn baby later this afternoon and coo and aah and hopefully not get puked on (only joking) I wont mind.

Will someone out there in the UK please let all us Safricans know when Gav and Cath have their baby, any day now!!!

Bye for Now

T.G.I.F. (Thank God its Friday!)

Hi All
Thank goodness that it is Friday, what a long week.
Just wanted to post a VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Wendy for tomorrow the 19th - the big 30 has arrived and to Susan on Thursday also the big 30! As my comment on Caroline's site said, I have no idea what thats like have another WHOLE YEAR before I have to contemplate that - he he he. I will just continue to bury my head in the sand.

Another BIG CONGRATULATIONS to Tammy and Mark Smith who informed us yesterday that they are expecting a baby (she is about 4 weeks preggers), WHAT is in the water people! It could be a conspiracy - hmmm but from whom?

Catherine and Kim are about to pop anyday now and their lives will never be the same for Catherine it is the first and for Kim it is the second. Wishing you ladies an easy birth - see Lilyland Blog -

Well am going to sign off now, Cape Town is expecting a brrrrr cold front to make landfall tomorrow and I am going to burrow myself in my bed with a good book and the occassional cup of hot chocolate.

Time Flies.....




Sorry it has been so long with another post. I moan at all the other blogs that I read that they aren't updating then I dont come to the party. Something that has been on mind a lot lately is that the cliche 'Time Flies', but if you really think about it, it REALLY DOES. I cant believe I am already 29, it felt like the other day (Ok the other week or a couple of months) ago that I was 19. Where has 10 whole years gone?? Pretty soon in that case I will be celebrating my 39th Birthday!! How depressing! I suppose a reason I am thinking this is the pictures I have attached here are family friends who's daughter (who was born when I was small) has got married and already has a 6 year old. I remember her when she was a baby, I suppose that is what all our parents are saying about us now. But take each moment and live each moment and savour all the memories you can even over day to day boring activities, as before you know it the day will be over and the time gone! Have a wonderful Wednesday.
Love Nix
