3 Months old
My Diary By Elderene Claassen on 1/7/2008
Our darling Belle turned 3 months on the 2nd of Jan. She's continuing to grow beautifully. She's absolutely gorgeous and it's such a joy to see her personality and character emerges and develops every day. She'd discovered her voice of late, making very high pitched screetching sounds when she's not happy about one thing or another. She has quite a grip when she gets hold of something and mommy's hair is constantly under attack. Maybe she's trying to tell me something. She also prefers sleeping on her tummy these days, and turns herself in all sorts of directions in her cot.

All the best for 2008
My Diary By Elderene Claassen on 1/3/2008
It's the year 2008. WOW! I'd been so blessed in 2007, therefore I'm not planning on making any promises for 2008, except to be happy and stay healthy. I wish all my family, friends and acqaintances only the best for 2008. Make it your best year ever. Take ownership and make resolutions you can stick to. Be happy and healthy. Looking forward to hear from you all.

Happy holidays
My Diary By Elderene Claassen on 12/24/2007
Merry Christmas everyone. May this festive season bring you lots more blessings. Enjoy your time with family and friends. To those who mourn a lost one (especially Pauline and family), rejoice in the knowledge that they've gone to a better place and even though we are heartbroken and sad, they are watching over us as our specially appointed guardian angels. Happy holidays everybody, safe journeys and blessings in abundance.

Two months old
My Diary By Elderene Claassen on 12/3/2007
Our lillte Belle is two months old now. It's amazing how time flies. She's continuing to grow into this beautiful precious little princess. She's so adorable and we treasure her. She communicates in her own special way and is energetic and vibrant when she's not asleep. She has her moments where she drives us nuts when she screams and we don't know why, but that's on rare occasions.
It's time I get back in shape and make more of an effort to shake this pregnancy weight. So, wish me luck.

One month old
My Diary By Elderene Claassen on 11/4/2007
Our darling Belle is one month old. How time flies. She's growing beautifully and although we've not established a routine yet, she's quite a character. She is a very strong presence in our household. I wish we had more of our family around to share in her growth and development.

Adapting to parenthood
My Diary By Elderene Claassen on 10/17/2007

Our little Belle is 16 days old today. What a challenge the first 2 weeks had been. Not being able to sleep through the whole night, getting use to Belle's crying and realising there's different teats to the bottles, had been a learning curve. We're learning new things about our baby every day and we are starting to relax and enjoy parenthood more every day.

Belle Maria Brostrom
My Diary By Elderene Claassen on 10/9/2007

Our little miracle was born on Tuesday 2 October by caesaean section  after an induction didn't go to plan. We have decided to call her Belle even before she was conceived, simply because we knew she would be absolutely gorgeous. The second name Maria is a tribute to her paternal grandma.
As a family, we are slowly adjusting to having her in our lives. We have so much love and adoration for her and we just wanna give her the best.

As I prepare mentally to become a mother, the following facts caught my attention:

When born, the white whale is black.
