Due January 2015

Congratulations Natsvan! He is so cute! Sorry to hear about the complications with the infection, but glad to hear you are now at home.

Well done Joans on sticking it out with breastfeeding, it only gets easier.

Mommyme, ja nesting kan nogal uitputtend wees, veral in die somer! Klink of jy nou alles gereed het, nou moet jy probeer rus as jy kan.

Nadia, we were also still painting last week. I am sure you are more than ready, and if you have forgotten something, send hubby to get it

Blessedw, sal dink aan jou vir Maandag!

AFM, ons moes Oos-Kaap toe travel vir n begrafnis. Dit was bietjie onbepland want ons wou eintlik net maar by huis bly en net rustig wees voor sussie kom. Maar nou ja, mens kan nie alles beplan. So dit was n gejaag om dinge reg te kry. Ek tel die dae af vir sussie se koms, dra bietjie swaar op oomblik. My keiser is geboek vir Maandag 19 Januarie, so nog n paar weke. Sussie groei mooi en beweeg ook nog lekker.

Merry Christmas and a wonderful festive season to you all!

Geseende kersfees aan almal! Mag julle n vredevolle dag he

Geluk Natsvan aan die geboorte van jou baba! Hy lyk oulik!

Aan die ander mammies wat nog wag vir die grootdag, sterkte!

My keister datum is nog altyd maandagogged, so Ek moet al sondagaand inboek by die hospital Baba weeg al oor 3kg so Ons verwag Maar n groot baba.

Wees geseend almal

Hello everyone!

Natsvan, welcome to baby Liam! He is gorgeous... sorry to hear about infection bur glad all resolved now and that you had a good birth experience!

Joans, glad you are doing well and enjoying baby! If you want to try without shields again, apparently physio very useful! Sounds like all going well though!

Mommy me, lol at the nesting. I'm also feeling like I'm running out of time to do what needs done. We're painting our whole house but hoping to be done by tomorrow so we are sleeping at my mom's place in the inter to avoid paint smell. How are you finding the midwife route? Working better for you?

Blessed, all the best for next week!

Hello to all the other mom's! Hope you're all doing well and resting up!

Merry Christmas to all those celebrating tomorrow!

HI Ladies and our 2 new mommies!

All in the last strech now. Natsvan congrats on the birth of Liam! I cant open the pics,some error but i am sure he is gorgeous. Glad you are home and well and sorry to hear about your ordeal. Just glad baba is doing good and you as well, strongs with the coughing,sounds eina.

Joans you are lucky, enjoy every second to the fullest!

Next must be Blessed on Monday. All still good for monday Blessed? How did your last app go?

I am in the middel of my 35th week. will be seeing the midwife again next week somewhere and dont know after that. Lea has been moving in different ways this week. I am so busy at home trying to get the house ready and still nesting like crazy.

Hubby is preparing the baby room like a steam roller, so we are pretty drained. But al least did all the shopping and she now has everything should you decide to come earier. i have also prepared a temp space in my bedroom for her. So we are sort of ready.

I keep on telling hubby that we should be ready for her anytime now,but he insist there is still time and she is not due in a few weeks still.

We had Christmas party with friends on Sunday and they were playing volleyball in the pool with a small hard ball,it somehow bounced into my tummy on the side and was quite painfull. i was so worried, but she moved and all afterwards,so guess she is nice and snugg like a rug.

Not much further from me, some bleeding again yesterday and today

Trying to rest between all the scrubbing.

Good luck to all the ladies still waiting for their babas.

Nadia hope you ok after the fall. always so scary. Thinkin of you on the 2nd.

Alicia sterkte ook vir jou vir die 2de.

Karmie wat is jou beplande datum?

Robs how are you and baba? Still waiting it out?

Have a blessed Christmas, i better go wrap some gifts,lol, better late than never.

Hello everyone!

Natsvan congratulations on the borth of your little one! He's beautiful! Sorry to hear about the infection, but glad you had a better birth experience than last time. I was also extremely happy woth my hospital, would do it all over again in a flash. How's the breastfeeding going? I had some trouble woth sore and raw nips initially, but my silicone breastguards have been an enourmous help, as now I can also feed more which helps with the engorgement, aias I am overproducing like crazy.

How are the rest of you ladies doing? Feels strange that you all aRe still preggo! I can't believe that Nicholas will be 2 weeks old tomorrow. Time is flying! But enjoying every second. Nic is sleeping like a champion, so lucky. I sometimes even get 5-6hour stretches at night with him, so I am pretty spoiled.

Hope you guys have a blessed Christmas

Hi everyone.

Just a quick note to say hi, life has been hectic with a toddler and new baba. Liam has arrived and we are finally home! My infection unfortunately spread to Liam so when he was born he was admitted to NICU and put on cpap and antibiotics. It was very sad to sit in my hospital room and not even see him. My coughing got worse which was very painful on the tummy muscles so has made my recovery so much tougher, i ended up having physio on my chest and taught how to cough by supporting my stomach muscles with a pillow, wanted to die everytime i coughed. But all said and done the birth was very much better than my last experience and the staff were amazing!

Sorry about the short post, will drop in when life is a bit calmer. Please find attached a photo of liam.

Hello mommies!

How is everyone doing?

Joans how is baby? Meant to tell you, you may have painful boobs one milk fully comes in but stick with it, it does get better. Lansinoh and even physio is a lifesaver if you struggle with bleeding or cracks.

Blessed think you are next in line to meet baby? All the best!!

Natsvan are you also scheduled for December? Sorry I'm forgetful!

Mommy me how are you holding up?

Apotgieter, you all ready for the 2nd?

Karmie sucks that you still have to work but suppose it's one of those things, life of an entrepreneur is a tough one!

Robsyc how are you and baby? All stable?

On my side, took a huge tumble yesterday and literally smacked into a wall headfirst. Went to ER and got some meds etc that are pregnancy safe so just have a egg sized bump on side of my face now. Baby all OK thank goodness. Blood pressure was elevated though so need to monitor more consistently and call gynae if it persists.

Can't believe we are in our last stretch again! Super eager to meet my little guy
