32 weeks

we saw our midwife phindi today... always exciting to get an update on our little guy! he's growing nicely, and is measuring slightly bigger than his age. it's the first time he's not spot on growth with weeks! he's been head down for some time, and today we found out that his head is engaged. apparently a good thing & nothing to worry about in terms of premature labour.

i am so proud of our little man! he's really done well throughout the pregnancy, and somehow seems to know exactly what to do.

such exciting times ahead of us!

managing...

would you believe that i have found something else to take up even more of my time? yes, that's right... i am studying again. that after i vowed never ever to do anything that smelt like studying when i completed my honours!
i have registered for an IT project management course through the university of johannesburg. i am hoping that this will assist me in my current role through providing a formal methodology to managing my rather informal initiatives. "initiative" is the name given to projects run outside of the project management way of working, managed and worked on solely by a business analyst or set of them. which means that i often perform the role of both project manager and business analyst on my proje... erm... initiatives.
project management is a life skill that may be applied in absolutely any situation, something i believe will never be outdated. that's my story and i'm sticking to it.
i do have times of doubt and regret. especially as i spend long weekends, public holidays, weekends, and all my spare time in front of my textbooks and case study homework. urgh. all i hold on to is that this will benefit me not only in the future but soon. very soon...

we've come a long way, baby

cellphones have changed the way we interact with each other and the world around us. we can no longer imagine the days when we weren't in constant contact and communication. when the only way of speaking to someone telephonically was to wait for them to get home or to the office... my, how will we be communicating in 5 or 10 year's time?

i'm not ignoring you

and it's not that i don't have anything to blog about... it's just finding the time to put thought to screen inbetween the 50 million other things i want / have to do. in actual fact i have tons of draft posts patiently waiting for completion.
