Walsh Bambino's

We're now 21 weeks pregnant and still 2 heart beats which is great news! I've got no scans to post unfortunately but our next Fetal Assessment is at 22 weeks - next week on the 23rd August, and at that stage we may have something on DVD that we can post here. I'm hoping that we'll be able to confirm that all is ok, especially with the 1 twin which is growing smaller than the other and then also confirm the sexes.

As for me - I'm growing tons.... it seems my stomach needs my butt to grow in proportion else I won't be able to balance:-)

I've joined Preggie Bellies which is an exercise program / routine and hopefully that's going to get me fit again and keep me fit. We also went to our 1st ante natal class this Wednesday - quite interesting and lots of tips are shared. There are 6 classes covering different topics - there are no breathing & labour exercises as such so not the typical type class I don't think but what do I know:-)

I've done some research on the bear essentials that I'll need to buy for babies / twins and I've also found a Woolies / baby factory shop today. Spent a small fortune there but it was well worth it. thanks Linda S for the tip! If anyone wants more info re where the factory shop is then feel free to contact me.

That's it for now, so far so good...

Weekend at OppiKoppie - Bonnievale

I haven't posted for a long while, so thought I would let you know about our most recent weekend away with our friends.

Venue: Oppikoppie Self-catering Guesthouse, Bonnievale
For more info, see the link here:

There are lots of walks, canoeing etc etc. firewood is provided as well as a fully equipped kitchen.

Hosts: Natasja & Koos Wentsel

Date visited: Thursday 09/08/07 - Sunday 12/08/07

Friends that joined us:
Gathry, Vannessa, Branston, Janine, Nadine, Athony, Carol, Megan, Charnel, Chris, Fiona

Highly recommended spot, fully equipped & can sleep 15 people, close to a dam (must be great in summer but since it was cold we didn't make use of it for swimming). We were welcomed by Natasja with some vetkoek and wine - delicious!

The place is also close to Robertson and Bonnievale wine region so plenty of wine farms to visit for wine tasting. We visited Van Loveren (you get free fritters there, if you like 4 Cousins then this is the place to visit), Bon Courage (good wines & port here) and the best place for wine & muscadel was De Wets Hof (Danie de Wet wine's). There's a cheese factory and hot springs close by.

A great weekend was had by all!!
