September / October / November mommys 2012

Hi there

Busy with month end but having the assistant is really making it a lot easier. head office really stressing about me not being here esp with our year end being 31/10/2012!! So i guess they will miss me!!

Monica
Did you have a shower yet? how long is that list of things you still need?

I started to work on my final lists as well so just waiting for my shower then i can see if there is anything that can be ticked and what to get.
This weekend going to kroonstad - yippee cant wait to see my mom again and esp to have her feel my lg move!! forgive me for going on about it just very excited.
Next weekend my dh is doing my pg shoot!! also looking forward to that
The next weekend is my bday not that we have planned anything ( not that i know of anyway) and the next weekend its either my babyshower or we going to pta to get the final things.
Next week the big cleaning starts and want to get all the clothes and blankets washed and sorted.
im only gonna have the newborn and 0-3 months washed and all the spoegdoeke and blankets.
The clothes do i need to handwash them or is machine fine? i want to put those clothes in the chest of drawers and then all the blankets etc in the cupboard with the bedding etc.
Im amazed of everything i got in that small room.. A double bed, bath on a stand the camp cot and the chest of drawers!! i would've loved a rocking chair as well.

Exactly 4 weeks till my scan then im 34 weeks!! so monica we very close!!3

Zoe what campcot you looking at and where? we bought "little one" at game.

Take care!!

2 of my colleagues have the flue so im avoiding them really dont feel like getting sick now!!

Hi There

Thanks so much for all the support and kind words.
I feel much better today - yesterday it just hit me alot harder than usual - i guess cos Im pregnant and maybe the emotions and everything just got too much. I was teary eyed the whole day but managed to leave work at about 11h30 and just went home.
It is hard to deal with each year but it has been getting easier each year. Thanks again for the support!

Other than that - my baba is doing well - kicks and moves like crazy.
I finally started sorting out all the baby things I have and I have made a list of everything I still need - not much - so I am going to try and get it all sorted in the next 2 weeks so I can stop stressign about that too. Once I have everything - my maid can start washing it all and then I will pack the hospital bag and get it ready.

My next scan is only on 23 July - then I will be 32 weeks.

JB - sorry about your friend - things like this is never easy and I think it definately effects those that have lost a baby at any point more so....and we just can't stop the tears!

I hope everyone else is doing well. and looking after themselves and really starting to get into the swing of things with the new arrival on their way...shoo its actually not too long now for some of us. Getting nervous and excited all the same time!

Take care

Hi there

JB sorry about your friend really thankful that she have a great friend in you to help her. its tough esp those 1st weeks i felt so alone!! i only joined moomie i think a month after my d&c.
Still 4 weeks till my gynea app will also book my bed and taking the hospital tour etc looking forward to it!!

Zoe also was so undecided between natural and c sec only made my mind up last week!! Good luck finding a domestic!!

Take care

Monic@r thinking of you.

Joybaby: Sorry about your friend.

I have my scan on Friday this week. Looking forward to it.

Went for the campcot yesterday, but they did not have stock on the one that we wanted, so Will have to go back this week Saturday.

I went for my Thyroid test on Friday afternoon, and my arm is still blue from it, and you can clearly see a blood clot. Hopefully it will go away soon.

I have my scan on Friday, looking forward to it.

I'm already moving around like an old lady, and did all the house work this weekend, I was just so exhausted.

I really need to get a domestic ASAP, as I'm now struggling.

I am really considering just telling my Gynae on Friday that I want to have a c-section. I'm really scared to go the natural route. But still undecided on this.

Hi to everyone else.

Monica sending you all the hugs and love in the world.
I dont think it'll ever get easier to be honest. You have so many specific memories from the pregnancy and the events that took place, it's only normal to relive those emotions. Try take some time to just feel what you're feeling and shed the tears needed. Big hugs.

My weekend was also very sad.
One of my best friends - who I met on the pampers forum when I was expecting my first but then had my MC - she was supposed to be 12 weeks on Sunday but on Friday she MC'd. Baby had stopped growing very early on but her body carried on producing the hormones so she had 2 months of horrific fatigue and ms. She had a D&C on Friday night and now the mourning process will take place. I would never wish a MC on my worst enemy! You mourn the loss as if it was a person you had met, you mourn the days you'll never have with them, and the dreams you'll never share. Yes it gets better at times and you eventually try again and have a baby you never would've had otherwise, but it's still a huge loss to go through.
And shew did it bring back all of my memories. On the phone with her I just burst out crying, and just thinking about what she's going through brings tears to my eyes Spent some time with her last night and going by this afternoon again.

Anyway *wiping tears away again*.
Grandparents went away this weekend. It was really nice for us as it was just so chill here and Kaylee was so relaxed. A friend of mine spoilt us by taking us to an indoor play park on Saturday morning. Kaylee and her little friend absolutely loved it! And despite how tiny she is she was adamant about doing the big slides etc!

Baby has really gotten busy this weekend after almost a week of very little movement (think her position changed). This morning I could actually feel my tummy bouncing as she kicked, so I recon this week DH will be able to feel it too!
With K I was also 23 weeks when DH first felt her move.

Who is going for scans soon?
Mine is still 5 weeks away, but I recon it will fly by!!!

No time for moomie on Friday, I had to stand in and help with the wages on Friday so it was a really busy day!!

Had a friend over on Friday he brought as magnums I got to have dh's as well because he dont like dark choc and i love it!! He is the one taking us to Kroonstad on Friday to my mom really cant wait she thinks we come the saturday so we are going to suprise her the Friday night.

Saturday went to the gp for a scan he is very happy with baby!! she was in a mood though couldnt get a nice pic!!
The lump in my breast is nothing to worry about according to him and it looks like it have disappeared i couldnt feel it anymore yesterday!
I have a narrow chest and she is still very high so thats why im so out of breath and until she is going to drop (he say 6 weeks) im gonna be uncomfy!!

Dh grandma fell badly so she had a semi hip replacement yesterday and is in icu!!

Ackermans is having baby clothes marked down for R19.. Dh bought his lg an outfit yesterday really adorable leggings and a top with cow spots at Jet thats the 1st outfit we bought! dh suprised me he was more interested in the clothes than me almost!!

I really do wish this week flies working till friday afternoon!

I hope you all have a wonderful week take care!!

Any scan's this week?
