Jan/Feb/Mrch 2012 Momies to Be

Isle- glad there is only one baba there. Congrats on the girl!!!! Why will you only have a scan in 10 weeks time?

Maureen- so glad Jamie had a good first day. MG will start at a school in January when she is 18 months old. At the moment she is with my MIL who looks after her another LG similar in age. I am looking at a school just around the corner from home so that my maid can collect her at 12pm and take her home to my MIL for the afternoon. Is Jamie down to only an afternoon nap?

OMW- I go to a client on a Tuesday and Thursday and he does not allow eating on his premises. So I have to wait until 1pm when we all get kicked out into the casino complex for lunch.... I am starving and sooo nar.

Hello ladies,

Jamie survived his first day at school. Actually he more than just survived. The teacher told DH that he was a model student, followed the routine without crying or moaning, played well with the other toddlers. When he was pushed by another little boy he just simply turned around and walked away, she was very impressed that he didn't tattle or fight back. He is very much like me, I would also just walk away, not the fighting type at all.

Needless to say that DH forgot to pick him up. Only remember a good 30 minutes later, so was late. Was very funny to me and the teacher, but he felt very bad. Needless to say I really made him pay for it, making him think that I was angry and everything. We made up...

I see my peanut in another 3 weeks. We too have names already.
Girl: Reagan Hailey de Kock (pronounce with double ee)
Boy: Reagan Alexander de Kock

We really love the name and it isn't well known.

Good luck with all the MS. I am having a piece of leftover pizza now...mmm

So Frustrating, having problems with my phone and uploading to moomie. Have been trying to keep you updated since last night and only got time at work now to do it from work.

Any how. How amazing that God would trust us with these little lives. Only one baby though (relieved). Due date is now 17 Feb.

Gynie said it looks like a girl she is 80 percent sure but will confirm with next scan. I am only going for my next one 11 October when I am 21 Weeks.

Moomie mommies below is a pic. Please meet Milah Angel Ross. She is now 5.4cm.

My son is so proud and refuses to let go of the photo.

I have such porridge brain at the moment... I forget everything So frustrating.

So are any of you taking Monday off and making it a long weekend?
My students asked me yesterday to postpone classes a week so I now have Monday off (only problem is no work no pay ). We will be doing lots of packing this week as they start our renovations next week. If we get most of it done we will be going down the coast for the weekend with some friends.

Morning Ladies,

Have been so busy that the last time I checked in was last week Thursday so I had alot to catch up on.

I am so jealous of all the scans I still have 3 weeks until I see my LO.

I have an amazing gynae when it comes to costs. He has alot of cash patients and so is very reasonable. I know for a natural birth he charges R5000 and c-cesction is R5500. His consults are R350 including your scan. I am on medical aid so everything is covered but I enjoy the fact that he does not rip people off.
He is also one of the only gynies in Durban that are pro VBAC. I unfortunatly have now had two c-sections so I cant have a VBAC but last time around he was all for me trying until I developed my problems.

I am so nar all the time. The only thing that relieves it is if I eat, as soon as the food has settled I am nar again... I am going to get huge at this rate.

Cookie Monster- wow, 14 weeks already. SO nice to jump a few weeks!!! Enjoy your second trimester. Have you started to feel baby yet?

Cake- Welcome, it is so nice to have all these ladies to support you through this journey. I am also due in March. I will be 6 weeks tomorrow.

Ashleigh- please keep us updated on your friends baby. Shew that is tiny!!!

Ilse- we have lots of twins in our family too and DH keeps teasing me about having twins as he knows it is my worst nightmare. I just know I wouldnt cope with twins, let alone a toddler and a 9 year old at the same time.

Zel- wow a girl, how wonderful!!!!!

Enjoy your day ladies

Morning!

Carlene, I am glad that you are better. Hope the MS go away soon.

LB is fine now thanks Carolsch! They get sick so quickly, but luckily they get well just as quick!

Please don't kill your boss Lollipop!

I also think you just ovulated late Chubbychick.

Nice scan pic Mom2B, it's so wonderful to hear that heartbeat, did hubby enjoy the experience? I am so blessed, my husband came to each and every appointment with me through my first 2 pregnancies, hopefully he would be able to do the same with this one.

Wow, you are quick with the names Cookie-Monster. We don't have a clue about names yet! The bloodtests and appointments are very expensive, luckily we have medical aid, although I have to pay the Gynae first and claim back.

Glad you enjoyed your scan Jolene, please don't get sick as well! Wash your hands every time after you've touched the boys.

How was your scan IlseRoss???? 1 or 2 babies?

The first day of school is much harder on the mommies Maureen. I hope your LB had a good day.

Ok, I went to the Gynae yesterday, and he is very happy with everything. Baby weighed about 168g. And it's definitely a GIRL!!
He switched to 3D, and my oldest boy immediately said:"Mamma, ek sien vir sussie!!"
I'll try to attach the scans.

First 3D photo:



It's a girl:

I had a very busy day at work, and a very needy LG at home. I feel a better now that I’m on antibiotics, thnx Zel I’m very “naar” and the whole weekend, but I don’t know if it is the MS or the sinus.

Welcome Cakes. With my first pregnancy, I didn’t feel pregnant until 7 or 8wks, when the MS got hold of me. But my MS was not half as bad as the MS with this pregnancy. My theory is that your body doesn’t know exactly what is happening with the first pregnancy. That is why you will probably not know you’re pregnant until you miss your period. I realize I was pregnant the second time almost a week before my missed period. Because my body recognized the ‘signs’.

Maureen, did you survive your first day of your son at the playgroup? Did he enjoy it? Well Emma must go to pre-school next year and it is already stressful for me.
Ilse, how was your scan? Are you having twins or not?

Jolene, glad you could see your bean today. Hope your son and DH are better.

Cookie, so sorry about your budget for the month. I was also very shocked when I found out the downs blood tests was more that a R1000.00
M2B, nice pic of your little bean. It is so nice to hear the heartbeat for the first time. I think especially for you with all that you’ve been through the past month.

Cubby, I don’t think you need to worry. I think the gyne would be honest with you if there was something wrong. Like Lollipop said, sperms can survive in the body for more than a week. The “male” sperms usually live for 2-3 days, but the “female” sperm can survive up to 7-10days.

Carol, I’m also struggling with my constant visits to the loo for a “wee”. Especially at night time. I can’t remember that it was this bad with the first pregnancy. I think only the last 2 or 3 months.

Well, I must take my little one to bed. I also hope my DH get some more sleep tonight.
