Morning ladies

Robyn - we normally just tell people to bring their own drinks - if that is what they want. things are just so darn expensive you simply cannot cater for everyones needs.
sounds like you have everything else under control. im not a big baker or anything like that - i normally just buy the ready made things.

Ginah - you must be careful with the period like pains - that could mean labour - just go and have it checked out. I also have 2 weeks left - but I really could go off now already. im tired, tired, tired even though I was in bed for 5 days last week. :-0

Belaine - please post your pics once you have them. Im going to take some pics at home this weekend of my belly - nothing fancy - just with our normal little home camera so at least we have some photos of the belly. My gynea has not mentioned anything about a fluid test at all for the lungs.....
When is your c section booked for?

Im also very uncomfy at the moment and it feels like im a old lady - when I stand up/sit down do anything at all......feels like i need a walking stick at times to get up and about. I waddle along.

Shoo I can't believe it is so soon already for some of us.....we going to be in for a hell of a ride.

Anyways - i got loads to still catch up on but I can only do 1 thing at a time.

Everyone take it easy please - don't want any preterm babies here.....

Take care!

Hi there

Had my maternity shoot cant wait for the pics!! will post asap.

Finished at work but not as i wanted to, the work got me angel care monitor as a gift the one without the matt woudl loved the one with the mat but im thankful.
the lady that was suppose to take over some of my work finally pitched on friday i showed her some work leave her for 15 min and she made such a mess i ended up checking the whole seasons work as it just disappeared!!

Luckily im up to date now and on ML and taking it easy i cant work till my boss arranged my internet. so i was the whole day in my pj's and taking it easy.

I did 3 loads of washing though. it just never seems to stop.

This is the last week of life as we know it...

Robyn have no ideas sorry!!

Monica i know how you feel its just terrible to be sick and pg!! im still struggling with the same as you i hope im getting over it this week i need to be 100 percent next week.

Monica are your gynea also doing a fluid test the day before the c sec to confirm if you lo's lungs is strong enough?

I guess we are sorted now just need to pack hospital bags everything is on the bed just to put it in the bags. i still need to get some small stuff.

I have these sharpish pains that comes and goes in in my groin area and overies as well im just very uncomfy.

Take care!!!

Hello Ladies

Its very quiet in here lately.
Monica glad u have recovered, I can imagine being sick and pregnant.
If only our kids knew what we go through to bring them into this world.
Yeah B will b first then you.

Robyn I would say use the park to entertain kids and maybe just videos
incase the weather disappoints.That way they they can watch a movie instead.
This is dependant on the age ofcourse. Drink I would serve soft only.
JB shud b of help though,since she recently had a party.

I am so tired,wish I was on leave already. But no I still have two more weeks
of work(this week and next week).Been having very mild period pains,hopefully
they mean nothing.

Take Care ladies.

Hi Ladies
Hope you all had a lovely weekend

I need help please!!!!
D's party is on Sun and I'm struggling!
FIL is doing the savouries, my mom & I are doing the sweet treats (thankfully the cake is sorted)

Need some more ideas for party snacks (date balls, ice cream cone clowns....
Also what drinks do I have? Was going to do punch - but do I serve wine?
Would people be offended if I only have soft drinks?


But there will be 2 year olds, 4 year olds, 6 year olds and 8 year olds - what on earth do I do activity-wise??!!
DH & I bought D a trampoline for her b'day (10 foot one with safety net around it) and we have a park
with jungle gym, swings etc across the road - but if the weather is not great...

DH does not want to spend any more than is necessary, so hiring someone to do face-painting/magician
etc is out of the question
Or am I being paranoid?

Hi Ladies

I missed out on so much activity here.....
I took a long weekend but then had the worst flu ever the whole of last week. I was in bed from MOnday to friday - doc booked me off and got antibiotics and alll. I have never been that sick before in my life - it was terrible.
I am back at work today - back at work for 2 weeks and then will have 2 days off before I have my c section.
I am feeling a bit better but my nose and chest are still full of snot and phlegm and I can't breathe through my nose. Very irritatting.

We went for my 36 week scan this morning and all is well but although my baby only picked up 300g in the last 2 weeks and I have lost weight due to me being so sick last week. At least my baby has picked up weight though. My doc says that everything is good and baby is happy and she is happy with the progress so I don't need to worry. All is on track for the csection on 5 September. I am not seeing my doc again until I see her in theatre.

How is everyone else doing?

so it looks like Mckim and belaine will be first on the list with the new babas.....

Belaine did you do your maternity shoot?

Laus - thanks for the clicks specials.

Robyn - you are way too busy for a pregnant lady - you need to start taking it easy!!

So let me know when you ladies have packed your bags yet and whethere or not you have a big suitcase and it fits everything in... feels like I am going for a 3 week holiday with the amount of things I am taking. he he

Anyways I have to be off and get back to my backlog of work.....

Hope you are all well and looking after your bubbies!!

Hi there

our photoshoot is tomorrow now!! im excited but also "stressing" im not the photo type a real plane jane and i dont know the guy at least dh is there also taking pics so that will calm me.. and he invited us to braai there as well. Dh must have impressed him alot.

also booked bed only at 36weeks i guess every MA and hosp differs.

Ginah i must say im actually suprised at how the last weeks have flown by maybe next week will be a long week since im at home etc.

Hi to every one else take care!!

Morning Ladies

Had my 32wk scan yesterday - McK weighs 2kg now (picked up 700g in 4wks, which is exactly
what I've gained in 4wks as well - phew )
Thankfully all is well with my blood tests (iron fine, glucose fine, no RH anitbodies)
Next scan (36wk) on 12 Sept, then will be 2 wk scans (@ 38wk & 40wk if I make it)
Can only book my room at 36wk (med aid won't give me the hosp auth no til then!)
