Hey all

Sorry for the absens lately.

So glad to see that everyone is doing so well.
If have been keeping up with everone posts.

Nice belly pics all!

@Tracyo- Looks like we will have our baby's on the same day.
my C-section is also on the 3 of January.

Just this weekend i started to get everything ready for our little girl.
Done all the wasing of new clothes,bedding ect... so that everything is ready
for her.
I just need to pack the hospitalbags.

I also suffer from water retension, swollen ankels and hand, feels like my hole
body is swollen.

Hope all of you have a nice day!!!!

Hello ladies,

Your preggie pic's are looking so pretty I am also very much in tracksuits at the moment - I just cannot keep my pants up without a preggie belt

We are 32 weeks today and caesar booked for 3rd Jan... just over 7 weeks to go. I think it is time to start getting my hospital bag together... has anyone packed their hospital bag yet??

I have attached the latest 3D scan pics.... I just cannot get enough of seeing her

Hope you ladies have a good week!!! I will be back later to update on msgs....

Anthea,
We are going to look at a plot/small holding tomorrow. We want a property with more than one house as my brothers in law will be staying with us as well.

the swollen legs could also be due to sitting too much, 'cause when we drove done to Cape Town my feet were swollen due to all the sitting. Forgot about that... Good luck!

Thanks Snoekie - must be the water retention, as i sit at a desk all day and have to remind myself to get up regularly...

What area are you guys looking to buy in?

Anthea,
This was the first time I have been at Irene Market, But it was great fun, really enjoyed it.
The swollen ankles could also just be due to water retension, or being on your feet for long periods of time.

@Snoekie - dont you just love that market?!? It has the most gorgeous things...

@Kelz - so glad to hear all is well with baba and your SIL. God is Great and He will continue to keep them both safe!

the other thing we have noticed is that my ankles are swollen... My blood pressure is however not affected by it... it was still 108 over 57 at the last check (we have a machine at home cos i suffer from low blood and hubby from high blood... its why i didnt have an epidural with my LG cos i was advised that it could lower my blood pressure even more, whcih may lead to an emergency C-section. And 108 over 57 is my average, which is low enough!)

So anyway - do you think i have anything to worry about?

Good Morning Ladies,

Kelz,
I am really glad to hear that your sister in law is doing better and that baba can stay put for a while longer!
I hear you on the lack of sleep. I currently wake up at 05:00 and then I can't fall asleep again.
I am tired All the time...

Anthea and Juwayraj,
Love those preggie pics. You are both looking absuloutely gorgeous!

Anthea,
Glad you are getting some relief from the pain! Hope the heartburn also lets up for you!

Cherikey,
Hope you had fun at your scan! And you must enjoy the break-away at Sodwana.

AFM,
We have our birthing class again tonight. They are doing vaginal births this week. I am really looking forward.
Then Tomorrow we are going to go and look at a property just outside Pretoria. We really want to get our own place. Hope it is something worth buying as I am in love with the photo's that I have seen, But photo's can be very misleading!

We had a lovely weekend. Went to the Irene Christmas market on Saturday.
Walked WAY too much. And after that my Sister in Law and I went to the malls. Was very relaxing. Our Sunday was very lazy and realxing. Got up at 05:00 and started cleaning the house and doing the laundry. I was done by 9:00 and had the rest of the day to veg out!

Hope you all have a fabulous and blessed week!
