Jan/Feb/Mrch 2012 Momies to Be

Happy Birthday to Addison. Simone I hope you have a great day together.
There was a stage when I was hunger all the time, but now with the heat not so much.

Zelf - So happy that everything is is great with you and baby. 1.2kg WOW thats awsome!!

Arrangements are starting to fall into place for Zaylee's party. Managed to organise a jumping castle from my cousin at no charge. Zaylee loves jumping so im sure she will enjoy it. Really cant believe my baby is turning 1 already.

Morning Girls

Just a quick update, I am going to a CANSA morning, don't have much time!

The dr is very happy with me and Millay. The previous time we saw something that looked like a benign growth on the uterus, or it could have been a contraction. Well, yesterday, we didn't see anything, so Dr said it must have been a contraction! Good news! Millay weighs 1.2kg already - so happy!! I always feel so much better when they reach that magic 1kg mark, if something might happen now(which I'm sure wont!) her chance of surviving is good. Dr said she's long as well(a bit strange I am short and hubby average).

C-Section date confirmed for 5 Jan, dr will start steriod injections at 32 weeks though.

Have a lovely date!

Morning ladies

Carol are you feeling better now? Ruan is a clever boy!! Kids are so advanced these days!

CC come to PE and i'll cook for you any day;)

ZelF no update yet??

Carlene i was so disappointed when I went to Durban in AUgust and I didnt get a chance to go to a spice shop:( Hope you got some nice masalas though:) Will type up my 'recipe' and send to you...I dont claim it is authentic or what an indian person would make, but I think it's pretty darn good.lol.

Okay I need my decaff for the day...starving as usual!! Anybody else permanently hungry?

My baby girl turned 3 today! DH said seeing as we bought her 10 foot trampoline as early birthday present we could wait to see what she got after party...but I refused to let her wake up this morning with nothing to open. So just got her a Barbie set with mini microwave, coffee maker and then cups, saucers and croissants. She LOVED it. Made us coffee and croissants this morning.lol. Cant wait to get home today:)

This is the time of day that I get very tired. I just want to go home and rest.

Simone, I would also like some nice breyani. My husband went to Durban last week for the Tech-ed conference. But he went the Saturday morning so that he can attend the wedding of one of his Indian friends. So I told him he must ask his other Indian friend to take him to the market so that he can buy me some nice curries and spices. I was a bit disappointed when Seelan took him to Checkers. But apparently that spices are different from the ones we get here in Pta. Now I just need some nice recipes. So feel free to forward us your breyani recipe. Long ago I worked for a company next to Laudium in Pta, and there I befriended a hindu girl. I loved it when she invited me for dinner, her curry tasted very different from mine. And we use to order chips and gravy from the café down the road. I picked up a lot of weight in that 6months that I worked there. But it was SSSOOOO nice.

Zel, enjoy your appointment.

Vision, sorry about your LG fever. Glad she is better. As for the maternity clothes, I don’t even look anymore. The only place that you can get nice and decent maternity clothes is the shops that specialize in Maternity clothing. But, I don’t know why, but they only cater for the thin pregnant women that look like they swallowed a pea. Not even the XXL will fit me, so it is a hopeless case. When I was pregnant with my LG I bought a few tops from Edgards, luckily I can still wear it, because I was pregnant almost the same time as now. The pants, I’m still wearing my normal pants, because I lost 14kg just before I fell pregnant, so they are still big enough. I bought most of my pants from Mr Price Sport, they do have nice stuff.

Ashleigh, I feel your pain with that Dr. That is the sad thing about the female dr at Kloof. They are all very Pro C-sec. I think the only one that will still allow you to make your own choice is Dr Grassie. The one girl that I work with is also a patient of Dr Hoogewind, and she was due that same time he went on sickleave. So her backup gyne was Dr Grassie. At the end she had a C-sec, but not because she was forced into it. I think it was only after a few hours of labour and then the baby started to stress and she didn’t dilate further that 5cm, so they had to do a C-sec. Turned out the baby was over 4kg. My other friend is also with Dr Grassie and both her deliveries was normal. But all the people I know that is with Dr Lake, the all had C-Sec’s.

Carol glad you had a relaxing day yesterday.

CC, my feet are also starting to swell, but not so bad as with my first pregnancy. But the heat really is not helping.

Thanks for everyone’s concern about my fall. I’m fine, and luckily baby is still healthy and kicking.

Hi ladies,

Enjoy your scan ZELF!!! Let us know how it went!

My back is killing me, can't sit for too long then I have to stand up and walk a while. Also I noticed since yesterday my feet are swelling, the heat doesn't help at all.

Carol - clever boy! They sure know how to surprise us every time.

Ashleigh - sorry about the crap dr. Hope you get YOUR WAY and not the dr's.

Simone - are you going to cook for us as well?

Vision - hope your LG gets better soon!

OK, need to go to the ladies facilities and then work work work

Hi all

Had a relaxing day yesterday. Felt so tired. Like my BP is a bit low. So I just chilled indoors. Luckily Ruan was quite happy to stay inside. I showed him yesterday morning hoe to play that memory game on the laptop and the next think I see, he is playing it. And even quicker than I play it?? He is just so clever! When I was 3 I played in the mud! Just shows how times change.

Carlene! Hope you feel better?? emma is te kostelik!!

Zelf enjoy your appointment! Let us know how it went! Love to hear about every ones appointments
At least you can still use your maternity. Most of my tops had stains on my tummy area haha. Somehow I always seemed to mess on my tummy when I ate

Vision - I also looked ugggh. Edgars really have nothing! Woolies, not so great. I ended up buying some things at pickenpay clothing. I like that cherokee range.

Ashleigh- glad app went well. Stupid dr! She should give You the choice??? Uuuughh

Simone! You have so much energy! Glad you had a good walk. Ruan is almost 4 and kissing the booboos still works. Also don't know for how long

Anyhoo ladies, have a great day!

Simone I had a natural birth with epidural when I had Zaylee. I was admitted at 07:50 already 4cm dialated. Zaylee was born at 15:35. Birth was not a complicated one. But they had to use the vacum to assit her out because I could not push effectively with the epidural.
Zaylee's party is at 1pm on Sunday.

Zelf you must enjoy your appointment. What did the doc see the last time on the scan?

Vision - I feel exactly the same about the maternity clothes. There isnt much in the shops. I hope your LO feels better soon.
