Hello Ladies

So many questions but let me go through all the posts to see if they have been asked already!

Taz

Good Morning Ladies,

Anthea,
I LOVE the pics. Thanks for posting them. Your little girl is just so prescious!
Glad the MS is subsiding now!

Kelz,
Thank you so much for popping in! And I am very happy to hear that everything is alright with you and babba now. I also hope that babba plays along at your next scan so that you can confirm the sex!
I am sorry to hear that your maternaty leave isn't the way you would like for it to be. I work in a family business, so I am not even sure if I am going to get paid during that time as we will have to get someone to do my work... I will definitely be claiming UIF!

Tracyo,

I am so happy that your amnio results are looking GOOD!
Now you can just relax and enjoy your pregnancy.

Nadia,
How are you hun? I haven't gained any weight thus far, I've almost lost 6kg. But I also have to say that I had some spare kilos that can go!

Cherikey,
I am so happy for you that Hubby is back, amd bringing along pressies is ALWAYS a bonus!
Good Luck with the move coming up! Don't overdo it. In fact, all you should be doing is Deligate, Deligate, Deligate.

AFM,
No new news on my side!
Have a Lovely Day!

Hope you have an awesome holiday and that you are spoilt rotten!!! Hope the fairest Cape treats you well and the weather behaves!

Hi there ladies

Hope you are all well?

@Tracyo - great news about the amnio results!!! We get a free 4D scan when we book our bed at a certain time in the pregnancy - so they recommend anytime from 28-32 weeks, with 30 being optimum! Cant wait for ours hey! We got such awesome pic with my LG...

@Cherikey - all the best with the move - and take it as easy as possible! Pls pass along any tips you might have as i will be in your position in November
Where are you moving too?

@Kelz - sorry to hear that your company is treating you so poorly... Not sure how UIF works but could you not claim for the balance? We also get 100% of our salary for the full 4 months, without having to work it back... I am thinking of taking annual leave and extending my ML another month, but will still see what happens in Jan and when baby decides to come!! Glad to hear you are feeling better

All the bump pics are stunning hey! mine only looks like a preggy bump with clothes on... So will keep posting pics of the bump with clothes on - hehehe! I am looking about 7months preggers hey...but loving it!!! Now that the worst of the MS is over (i.e. havent had a vomitting episode in a week - hehehe so lets hope its the end of it! ) On the plus side i am 17weeks an have only picked up 2kgs:-) Although i did have extra weight to start with...

AFM next scan is the 10th of Sep!!! Cant wait cos my folks will be visiting from France and they can go to a scan with me

The first attachment was taken the day the doc confirmed we were having a girl!!

The second attachment is of my little princess and i!

Booked my maternity photo shoot for the 22nd of December - should be about 35 - 36 weeks! She really takes awesome pics!! She did my photo shoot last time too!The third attachment is me at 35weeks with my LG...

Have a great week too ladies!

Hello Ladies

Got my amnio results today - 100% all ok and 100% little girl - 20 weeks today

We finally told the in-laws over the weekend - they are super excited - now just to tell my dad and work then everyone will know.

Cheriky - good luck with the move!! it must be really great to have your hubby back home and the tops sound so cute that was very cool of him!!

Kelz - I am glad to hear all is ok with you and baby!!! that is really bad of your company my company pays 100% of my salary for 4 months but I then have to work it back over 4 months.... I truthfully don't want to go back at all but I am grateful that I will have that time with our little one

Snoekie - you must enjoy your holiday and the time with your family - sounds like it is going to be so lekker

NadiaSteenkamp - your baby bump is so cute!!! I am not sure how much weight I have gained in total but I think it must be at least 2 / 3 kg's in the last month

PurplePoppie - cute baby bump!!!

Anthea - how are you feeling - getting over the MS I hope!!

Anyway's I better go and do some work. Have a fantastic week everyone!!

Hey Ladies,

Just wanted to let you know I am still alive and even though I havent been on here for like a month, I have been receving all of your updates am so glad everything is going so well with everyone! So sorry for those still struggling with MS..over the moon that mine has subsided.

Well to update - I was in hospital for 3 nights about 2 weeks ago with severe dehydration caused by Gastro and a urinary tract infection apparently my white blood cells were low and my body wasn't fighting properly alone - Thank God that everything stayed ok with the baby, despite my fears...
so got our next scan on Wed where we hope to see pink or blue cannot wait!! Otherwise just been busy with work..the joys!

Cheriky - I know how you feel. I haven't "as such' gained a lot of weight, but i'm a bit embarassed when people ask to see my bump, because to me it still looks more like a fat roll than a bump - i'm so eagerly waiting that "rounding" to happen so there is no mistaking pregnant belly for fat belly

How is everyone's company for Maternity benefits?? I get a bit depressed when I think of mine..they're really bad! only pay 35% of my salary for 3 months, then if I want to take the 4th it is unpaid or annual....How anyone today is supposed to live on that, I don't know

Anyway, hope everyone has a great week further!
