Due January 2015

Good morning mommies

I am so cold this morning - brrrrrrr

feels like I just want one more cup of something hot and then after I have to run to the bathroom and then I am cold again so no use

I feel much better even the "bloadedness" is better this week can't wait until next scan

Jones I also feel that I can handle loads of small meals rather than sitting and having a huge meal

I can't wait for the weekend laying in bed lekker warm the whole weekend I don't feel like doing anything.

I hope everyone has a healthy happy Wednesday

Hello everyone!

The cold is terrible, finding it hard to keep warm without ruining the electricity bill!

Nadia I can feel as the first trimester is coming to an end that my nausea has really gotten better, pretty much gone, but I still have good days and bad days when it comes to fatigue. Today was one of my bad days, could not get myself to be productive at all. But tomorrow I'm teaching again so then I'll have no choice! Just want it to be weekend again

MommyMe I hope you get an earlier appointment, it really is tough waiting! One week to go until I'm doing the end of first trimester scan, can't wait to get a clean bill of health there, then I can settle into starting to tell more people (which will be a relief). I also get a hollow feeling if I don't eat almost every hour, I know what you mean. My days have turned into processes of constant snacking (at least I work from home so its possible to slip into the kitchen and grab something as often as I want, which has been an enormous help). See if that works for you?

Anyway, have a good night and I hope everyone gets some good rest!

MommyMe, good luck with getting a closer appt! Know how it feels to wait.. Takes forever!

Re. the empty feeling, maybe you should try smaller meals more often and see how that works?

I'm in bed already have a good evening guys

Hi ladies , not much from my side.

Not feeling so hot. Was at home yesterday just resting. I am not nauseous, but just feel weird, as if I have not eaten in a while and empty feeling on my stomach. cant describe exactly how I feel.

Trying to get a appointment earlier like Friday maybe, trying my best with the receptionist at the dr.

Its just freeezzzziing!!!! but I lovit. rather winter than summer.

Have a nice evening, warm up!

Hello all

Hope u guys are all doing well in this freezing cold weather!

Just found out another colleague is pregnant.. That makes 3 of us in the office!

Joans, laughed for 'the passenger' - very cute!

How are all of you feeling? Any new symptoms?

See there is already a FeB 2015 post! Time is flying...

Hello everyone!

Hope everyone had a good weekend? So cold, winter has most definitely arrived, smashing any notions I had of getting more exercise (except if strolling through Canal Walk counts, then I'd be a champ!)

Natsvan we first had a joke in which DH and I called the little one "the pea/pee' for all the nightly bathroom breaks, haha, then we upgraded it to bean, but mostly I affectionately call him/her "the passenger". This one is great when speaking to DH: "The passenger demands frozen yoghurt at this moment". Your little boy sounds so cute! Hopefully everything goes smoothly introducing the new addition to the family! Sometimes they surprise you (my brother tortured my older sister when she was born, but surprised my parents when he just immediately liked me)

MommyMe, I'm sure the occasional cream soda won't hurt, just don't overdo it because it's quite a lot of sugar. But other than that cream soda doesn't have caffeine so it ought to be fine.

Oh yes, I went to woolies this weekend (in Canal Walk) and yes, it seems that they don't make maternity wear anymore but I did find a really cute maternity wear shop called Cherry Melon, and there I got myself one of those stretchy bands to extend my wardrobe for the next couple of months (yay! I've been looking everywhere!) and I got really tempted to buy some other things, there are such pretty dresses and I just want everything!

Nadia I hope your son gets better soon! The work will still be there tomorrow, don't worry about that too much

I had a tough day yesterday, was just really emotional and wanted to cry about EVERYTHING the whole day (much to the bewilderment of husband) but feeling a bit more sane today. Also a tad concerned that I haven't picked up any weight at all yet. I know it probably still okay, but I still want to see something happening other than bloating!

Hope everyone has a good day!

Morning All

Hope you all had a good weekend and lots of opportunity to rest up!

Natsvan, your local Woolies may be right, I last bought maternity clothes in 2009 although my colleague did buy there last year, so may have been discontinued thereafter! How old is Ruben? I also refer to this little bundle as a nugget for now

MommyMe, cream soda is not too bad they do say we need to stay hydrated (I'm sure they mean water, but same thing no? )

I'm home with a sick boy today so stressing about all the work in the office naturally! You never win

Hi to all the other preggies fairies! Hope all is well
