Mommies - April 2014

@ Goggatjies I am Afr. and thank you, think today will be the busiest still and then suppose to calm down for a few days and then back to month end reports, busy busy. Enjoy your pie, I try to eat as healthy as I can,but sometimes just have to have a bite of biltong or even energade. Not sure if energade is ok or not. some people say yes, others say don't. so I try not to drink or even coke.

@StellaK. I hope it fades, its better today, but I must say the sun is shining and I don't feel so terribly cold as I did yesterday-made sure I'm dressed better.

@Makatk -sorry for the Afrikaans. the English is struggling sometimes

Didn't realise disposable nappies was so costly per month and times that by 2....mmm maybe I should also consider cloth. feeling much better today, trying to drink more water rather than any other fizzy drinks or juice. could also be reason for the headaches. Just want to eat today, these girls are growing.

Manage to get a earlier appointment with the new gynae next week Thursday, just want to meet with him and talk about all the current weird symptoms. Also did not have urine and blood pressure tested since 7 weeks. as the Fetal Assessment do not monitor that.



I must share this beautiful pic with you my dear friends...colleague and friend's baby born yesterday, hope it uploads.

have a blessed day and enjoy ur pregnancies to the best you can, it goes by fast I suppose.

@ Stellak, thanks for teh link, wow great info. When you ladies mentioned cloth nappies I imagined teh old type. I am sold to teh idea.DH would def like the idea as it cost efficient . Now that i'm super confused with the choices please advise which one are best etc.

Mommyme, get well soon. You are in my prayers.

@ Jay, pardon my ignorance, the last time I used cloth nappies was 15 years ago and then Glodina Black Label was the best in the market. I sed disposables with my son. I have no clue what the other brand are nor how they are. It does make financial sense though to use the cloth nappies. Have you tried pregnancy pillow, it worked wonders for me with my son, and recently pulled it out as I started feeling the pressure on my bum and back.

@Goggatjies, I am English, and sometimes feel left out when important info is shared in Afrikaans. I understand maybe one or two words in a sentence the rest i tried to imagine what the writter is saying Enjoy the pie

Good morning friends

hope you all are having a good day. big hug to everyone

Mommyme, i feel your pain with the headaches. it is just terrible.
hope it doesn't last long for you.

Makat, hehehe, i think we are entering funny times with all these cravings.

Izzles, baie dankie. en baie geluk ook met jou swangerskap. ek het so hier en daar op die feb groepie gelees en is so bly vir jou dat jy so vinnig weer swanger geraak het. hehehe en dis waar wat jy se, nou het ons babatjies darem beter verjaarsdae

Jay, well done on the cloth nappies. i will also be using cloth. i came across a very nice website where you can see all the different tipes. www.doodlebums.co.za/
i just hope that the preschool will also accept the cloth nappies

AFM, the tirednees is slowly fading (very slowly ) and apart from alot of headached, everything is going very well.

enjoy the day ladies

Good Morning,

I hope you are all doign well

Santie, jy sal die regte besluite vir jo neem. Moet net nie dat die dokter jou om praat om iets te doen wat jy nie meer gelukkig is nie. Ek dink die bloed toetse is 'n goeie idee, maar dit is baie geld.

Jay I hope te fatigue passes soon, and that you will be your old self. I use cloth nappies and they are great. But I also have a nanny at home, so I do not have to worry about diapers for daycare.

Makatk, good luck with the cravings, I was just very hungry today, and had to drive to Spar to get a Pie, I just had to, i just did not bring enough food to last me the whole day.

MommyMe I hope hope that things have calmed down a bit now, and that you can take it easy.

Stella, ek hoop jou energie kom gou terug

To all the other ladies, hope you are all doing fine and that you are all taking it easy


How many of us is afrikaans, and how many is English
I am Afrikaans

I am doing fine, like I said, I am hungry today and just had to go and get something unhealthy, been very good the past few months, but today I needed a Pie.

Big conference this week, not looking forward to sitting for hours on hard chairs.

Have a great day

Hi Mommies
Fatigue likes to visit me very often, i don't know when i'll be my old self. Now my bum is sore from all this sitting, i think i need to bring 2 pillows one for my bum and for my back. Besides that everything is going well, every now and then i would get soft kicks when i sit. Am so looking to start shopping my hand is itching. I have decided that i am going to use cloth nappies not sure what brand though. With my son i tried 3 different brands, i have 6 nappies and i lost interest. This time it will be different as i will only use disposables for the 1st 2 weeks/ or until the nappies fits perfect. with daycare i had to bring 6 nappies, so we bought 3 packs until he was potty trained, that's a lot of money, 600 a month just on nappies is a lot. If i buy 30 cloth nappies, that should be more than enough

Morning mamas

just wanted to share one of weird pregnancy moments i had this morning I woke up with a strong craving of tomato It was so stron i could not resist, imagine what would people think had they see me munch a tomato at 6 in the morning*hides*

This pregnancy is totally different from my previous two, i guess baba is trying to confuse me from determine what gender it is because if I had any any of the similar symptoms i had with myu daughter or son i'd easily tell what i'm having now.

Anyway I am feeling good today despite not sleeping too well.

Happy Wednesday
