May/June/July 2013 Mommies to be

Last night DH was in JHB, I put the kids to bed at 7pm, Shiloe goes to bed at 7.30 and then I cuddled in bed too.

Kerry- my MS has arrived in full swing. Been nar all day so I went and got the Pegasus tissue salts I told you about.

We have decided that we will find out what sex this baby is. We found out with the first two, but not with Keira. I said to DH that I thought since this was unplanned and a shock it will be good for us to know what we are having up front.

Pippi- How do you feel about having twins?

Jellybaby, thats not fair... my ms is still going strong though i must be honest yesterday i didn't take my ms tablets and i made it through the whole day, even managed to eat my supper... lets prey its a good sign of things to come.... because i seriously cant take being incompetent in the evenings anymore!

It was soooo nice instead of dying on the couch last night to go sit in the pool with DH and K!!!

I also thought getting my little one off the dummy was going to be such a problem... and every time DH or i tried to take it away she clinged to it even more! but then one day she accidentally bit a hole in her one. To try stop her doing it again i showed her the hole and said she broke it... so she shouts at me "mommy broken, throw away" i told her that its her last dummy if i throw it away its gone, but she was insistent... so i told her to kiss it goodbye, walked round the corner and put it in my pocket. Honesly thinking bed-time would be hell...

suprisingly at bed time she asked for it i told her she threw it away... she said "i kissed it goodbye and throw away" and that was it... its been a month or more now and she hasn't asked for it again... though occasionally she tells me she threw it away, obviously when she is missing it, but its gone.

We still have the bottle at bed time though... that might take a bit more encouragement to give up.

Hope you come right with Hayley! Sounds like she is really suffering!

Pippi Longstocking - good to hear you are doing fine!!

Hello everyone!
Sorry I haven´t post anything but I didn´t get emails informing me about your posts so I thought it was very quite...what a surprise!!!

I will try to read all the post before commenting

In this side, the twins are doing fine so far . Looking forward to see the sexes and give them names!

Jellybaby, thanks for including us May mommies I hope that Hayley is back to full health in no time. Very envious that your MS has passed

Juandre, congrats on getting rid of the dummy, That is something we will look at in 6 months time, Paige has just turned two and we are starting potty training, Fingers crossed its not a lengthy process. Luckily she gave up the bottle on her own at about 18 months ( she was just drinking less and less and eventually I just stopped offering it), I find that she often gives things up on her own with out to much prompting, but seems to be holding onto the idea of a nappy - we went and bought big girl panties today, and she seemed excited so hoping she will go along with it

Juandre, That is so sweet, I am also trying to get H off the dummy. Have just told her all her bottles are gone now and there are only sippy cups left. But that dummy is going to be a problem. Really like that idea of the baby dolphins using her dummy. pity we don't have the sea nearby.

Niki- Breastfeeding also didnt work for me. After Mickey I had 10kg to lose and bf for a year and it didnt shift. Then I fell pregnant with Keira, after her birth I had 12kg to lose, I still have 10kg of that and am now pregnant again... I have to keep this weight gain to a min so that I only have this 10kg to lose next year.
I will then be using these Mama Mio products. In one session at the spa you can lose up to 12cm. You can also buy kits to do the treatments at home. Look at www.mamamio.com for the website for the products.In SA they are sold by poise products, their web addy is www.poisebrands.co.za

I didnt get any strech marks on my tummy but did on my boobs, thats cause I am only an A cup so there isnt much skin there to strech.

My nausea has hit today... I am now 5 wks3days, so I still have a far way to go to 12 weeks.

We went to the beach yesterday, took Mickey to go give her dummy to the baby dolphins. So she stoodon the beach and threw her dummy into the sea. I thought last night would be a fight but she asked for the dummy and then accepted when we said the baby dolphins have it. Now only to get her off the bottle- she has one before bed and one when she wakes up. Shiloe was horrified that we littered and threw the dummy in the sea...

Good Morning Ladies,

Well luckily my MS seems to have passed (fx) the ASIC just made me worse.

Niki - Welcome, I changed the topic name Such a lovely scan, you can see baba so nicely.

Charmi, I am also huge already and only just over 10 weeks! my whole tummy has moved "up".

Hope everyone had an awesome weekend. Hope we hear more from some of the new mommies that only posted once.

AFM Hayley is doing great but started with an awful cough last night and a snotty nose. I need to get her better before next week or they wont do the operation.
