Hi everyone!

Have been snooping around here for a while and decided to register finally I'm a mom of 2 boys and one babygirl in heaven (she passed away when i was 4 months pregnant). Hoping to TTC this summer for the very last time Not looking forward to the pregnancy itself (you know, with the puking and the mood swings and I get horrible backaches) but can't wait to have another beautiful baby My boys are 8 and almost 5, so it's kind of a big deal to start all over again Sorry if my English is a bit rusty here and there. I'm Dutch, my husband is English and we speak this strange type of Dunglish at home Anyway, hope to meet a lot of new people here and chat about how exciting and daunting this whole process is.

Welcome!! I'm so sorry to hear about the passing of your daughter. I hope that you will have a very short TTC journey and a healthy and happy pregnancy!

Thanks Kat! You're in SA? Sooo jealous right now Missing our friends and family there. And the weather!

Yes normally I would say 'sunny and warm' SA but joh, we've been having crazy weather as from Saturday. I live in Richards Bay (closest to Durban), we've had over 400mm of rain between Saturday and Yesterday, I think we're on 450mm from today's rain. It's cold and a bit miserable, completely out of character for where I live but we're not complaining, after the dreadful drought we had God sent us this rain just in the nick of time. Where does your family live? We're visiting Rheine and Amsterdam in July and I am so excited! First time out of SA

Eish! Thats a lot of rain! Its nearing winter now ey? I find it so funny, as your winters are about as cold as our summers are My husband is from kwazulu natal, still have family there. We went to Margate a few years ago, as friends of the family own a beach house there. Gorgeous! You're coming to Amsterdam? Thats awesome! We live about 20 mins from Amsterdam Wishing you loads of fun!
