March/April 2013

@ Angelique - Thats a nice age gap to have between your children. At least your 4 year old is old enough to understand and he can also help with some small things. I have the campcot out with a sheet over it, still need linen for it. The pram we put together yesterday and ialso have covered it so it doesnt get dusty. We have a compactim but its a bit lob sided cus it has been in a garage for a few years and the ants got of of it underneath so my hubby needs to fix it and i need to get a bath for it. Still need to get curtains for the room and i unpacked her things into her cupboards yesterday, still need a few more things for her though but other than that i am pretty much sorted. Need to get some things for me for the hospital.

@Zee - LOL, dont worry. I completely understand preggie brain and have learnt to read preggie brain language We wanted to get everything done and unpacked as soon as possible instead of it dragging out. I also had my nanny helping me and she works fast :0) and we had the 4 days to do it and mom in law came to help also one of the days. I am just going to shave down there but will have to use a mirror to help me

@Win- How far are u again? Hope your infection clears up soon :0)

How are your baby rooms looking ladies?

I am feeling very uncomfy and i can feel that she is getting a bit crammed in there, She has changed position and her so she is now upside down with her head in the middle. She has been very active today and i am feeling her foot up and down my one side and she has been rolling a bit today. Its getting hard for me to change sides at night cus she is getting heavy and i feel like i am going to hurt her if i toss and turn too much.

Have you ladies noticed that your leg hair has stopped growing or its growing very slowly?

OMG, i give up seriously today my brain has turned to mush! sorry Chandre, that will be Payton not Daniella.... Hopefully Daniella will not be making her appearance anytime soon

Angie, sounds like you were one of the lucky ones. have been hearing stories about everything contracting back together afterwards, and apparently that is painful. hopefully we'll all have minimal discomfort!

Zee, with Cole I had a c-sec and only the day after the op was a bit painful..though more discomfort than pain. I took all the medications they gave in hospital for the 4 days I was there and then nothing once I got home.

Pain is different from woman to woman..some women tell me that they pain was gone immediately after natural birth while others were in pain for a good couple of weeks after. Here's to hoping that all of us have easy births no matter which route we end up taking.

Chandre, so glad that you hubby is coming home tonight. You must be SUPER excited and at least now you don't have to worry about Payton coming and her dad not being here.

Win I hope that you infection clears up quickly andwishing you all of the best for your appointment on the 27th.

Nix, how's the baby room coming along?

Hey Nix, just realized i wrote unpaid instead of unpacked, clearly my preggie brain

Chandre, so sorry to hear about the break in, lets hope they'll find the culprits... the good thing as u said is that your man is coming home, so should Daniella decide to come early, he'll be around.

Win, an infection is not very nice especially whilst being so big already. hopefully the tea and lots of fluids will help clear it up quickly. I've heard that infection can bring about labor, don't know if its true though

My little madam has been so busy, i sometimes think she's mixing dough in there. feels like she's working very hard which is sweet. i feel quite lucky since i haven't started my penguin walk as yet , still in my high heels.

Have you guys decided on how to shave/ remove hair from down there before the birth?

hello ladies,

how are you all?

hmm Zee, 2 more mondays to go on ml hmm nice hey.

they did not say but when they measure me they his a perfect size for natural, so i will hear what Gyaena says on the 27, and will take it from there. and they said baby head is facing down already so hey..... also said that my urine shows that i have infection, so i must drink lots of water and rasberry juice to help this.

other than that all is well except that i am starting to walk funny and feeling the pressure down there.

Hey Ladies.

How are you guys all doing?

Hope u have a great day.
My Monday started off with a bang. Over the weekend, someone broke into both of our work Bakkies, and they have messed up the one pretty good, and stole most of our equipment that we do for installations.

Police was here, now we wait for stuff to get finger printed.
Not a great day for me.

But my hubby is coming home Tonight. Fetching him at 5o'clock.

Hey ladies,

Nix: Wow, you work fast! can't believe you've unpaid already.... unfortunately i haven't started getting things ready as yet but i have a plan to start on that quite soon.
I have started having quite a lot of energy now so hopefully that will last until i'm off work. 2 more Mondays to go until i'm on leave!

Angie: good luck for the VBAC but i believe that the most important thing is to get the little one out safely regardless of which method is used. i've decided to go natural as long as it's safe, keeping an open mind about everything else.

Angie, i've been hearing that after child birth, you are still in a lot pain for a while. is it true? unless they were just saying that to scare me since i'm so scared of this whole process
