Due January 2015

Hi hi everyone - how are you guys - your all so quite

22 weeks for me today I am so glad - feels like a mini victory every Thursday morning @ another 3 weeks before I go to the gynie again I cant wait

when will you guys be going for your 4D scans at how many weeks I will go and book the scan at my next visit need to go and do the whole hospital booking as well

looks like we are going to have a lovely weekend seems like sun al the way I have a busy weekend coming up - a friend of mine has her baby shower Saturday and then a birthday party on Sunday

Hi Joans how are u doing are you feeling any better

Mommyme how is everything going - any updates on the bleeding

you guys need to come chat

Hi Ladies!

Hope everyone had a good weekend.

MommyMe sorry to hear about the bleeding, but glad that they at least think they know what's going on now, that's always a relief! I agree with natsvan that you should try to take it as easy as possible, always the safest. You'll be in my prayers

Natsvan your little one sounds like quite the character! And don't worry, I also get some strange aches and pains, think that happens to everyone!

Nadia enjoy your holidays! I'm a bit jealous

AFM I'm feeling a lot better, has another course of antibiotics and just taking it easy. Not completely healed up yet, but relatively pain free now which I am enjoying. Had a good weekend at the night market and film festival, so odd for me that people are really starting to be able to tell that I'm preggo now, the bump has also become a hand magnet! So for the moment I am doing pretty well, when this is cleared up I'll be really happy. The weather in Cape Town is also cheering me up a lot, didn't realise how much I miss summer. And towels and bathmats actually drying instead of staying clammy and gross forever.

Hope you ladies have a good week!

Mommyme, that really sucks, glad you might have an answer, take it slow and no making beds, you need to be in bed watching movies and reading magazines. I think we need to have a serious talk with our placentas and tell them to behave!!

Big hugs

Have a good holiday Nadia.

Hey all

Hope you all had good weekends!

MommyMe, sorry to hear bleeding increased but good to hear that there may be a reason so now you can hopefully get a plan of action going forward.

Natsvan... Kids are cute that way! They know exactly what they want!

Joans, hope your pains are sorted now?

Thank you to all for the kind words re scans!

We are on holiday from tomorrow so may not post for the next week or so.

Wishing you all a stress free happy week!

Morning ladies. Quick update.

Bleeding got worse. Went to doc yesterday and for the first time he could see placenta very close to cervix.

Not sure if this is causing bleeding but think it is. Will know for sure next week at 20 week scan.

Im booked off today.

Hi everyone

Lovely Sunday here in Limpopo, was just sitting in the sun relaxing and watching Roo helping to clean windows We ended up going to the shops yesterday with Roo holding a bottle of windowlene, managed to distract him and get him out the car without the bottle. He has a passion for spray bottles at the moment so I have ended up washing out a windowlene bottle and filling it with water. I bought him a cheapie bottle from crazy store but he seems to prefer long thin bottles strange child! He's starting to count to 10 which is awesome because most of the other things he says doesn't make much sense bcoz of us speaking English and Afrikaans and the nanny speaks Sepedi,eventually it will all come together!

Thanx for the bump comments, its quite a size, hate to think what I'm going to be wearing when I get to December. Limpopo heat and a big belly!

Mommyme and Joans, how are you both feeling? Hope the bleeding and the kidney problem isn't to serious. So far so good for me other then a feeling like someone took a running kick at my fanny! Some days I really struggle to walk to work which is at the top of the hill, sure its just the pelvic ligaments stretching.

Cute pics Nadia

Karmie, good for you starting your own business. I really want to do my own thing, feel like I miss out on my lbs growing up.

Alicia, love the name!

Apotgieter, we are closer to each other then Cape Town, glad there is another mommy in a sunny province!

Well I better go, got some cloth nappies to hang in the sun, must say it's going really well!

Good morning everyone!

Hope everyone had a good, week, Friday at last!

Ek wil nou nie grappies maak nie maar ek voel werklik julle pyn met die sushi. Het ergste cravings en wil nie eers veggie probeer nie want ek sal grumpy met ML wees omdat hy vis kan kry, hahaha! Maar tempura kan ons darem nog doen, en 'n prawn tempura doen darem ietsie vir die siel. Ek sondig ook maar nou en dan met coke. Die kaffeine is nou nie so bad dat dit iets sal doen nie, veral as ek die res van die dag niks met kaffeine drink nie, maar ek probeer maar die suiker watch (weke doen ek heel goed, naweke kry ek dit nie reg nie! Wil net koek en soetgoed he). Maar ek dink nie dit sal doodmaak nie, solank mens alles matig doen.

Nadia cute pics glad all went well!

Ai MommyMe, jammer om te hoor het jy al weer die dokter gebel? mens moet maar nie skaam wees om te vra nie, hulle word tog genoeg betaal. En ek stem saam met jou, vat dit maar eerder rustig, mens kan werk altyd weer opvang. Hou ons maar op hoogte! Wens die dokters kan nou uitfigure wat aangaan, dis nie lekker om nie te weet hoekom nie.

AFM dit gaan met my bietjie beter. Het vir 'n paar toetse gegaan die week om te sien presies watter kiem ek het, want ek kan nie die antibiotika gebruik wat ek gewoonlik het nie omdat ek swanger is, en ek kan ook nie penicillin gebruik nie. Het op die ou eind 'n taamlike resistant bug, wat verduidelik hoekom ek gesukkel het om hom weg te kry in die verlede, en gelukkig is die mees effektiewe behandeling vir dit iets wat ek kan vat. So ek het gisteraand die tweede dosis gevat, hoop nou dit doen sy ding, want ek is moeg van elke 30min wakker word van nierpyn. Ek en ML het 'n taamlike action-packed naweek wat voorle, daars vanaand 'n night market op die natuurreservaat hier in Century City, wou nog altyd gegaan het, en more screen 'n film wat ek aan gewerk het by kyknet se silwerskermfees in Kampsbaai, so ek gaan moet kyk watter een van my rokke ek nog inpas Voel ook asof my magie die afgelope 2 weke net ontplof het, voel nou baie swanger!

Hoop dis 'n lekker kort daggie vir almal.
