Born Oct/Nov 2015

PP congratulations and well done! She is precious!!! Enjoy!

Zandri, congrats and well done as well. I'm glad your little boy is doing well. I trust he will be out of the ICU quickly.

I was so anxious the last couple of weeks, My bags were packed a few weeks ago. I labeled everything so my husband can find things quickly lol.

I have 1 month left before I start maternity leave and I don't know how I'm going to survive it. I cry every morning before going to work. Might be the hormones making things worse.

Tired and uncomfortable seems to be the words that sum up this week.

Enjoy the babies, Moms. I can't wait to have my Leah in my arms.

Zandri, happy to hear that he is doing so well! How long do they think you'll still have the preeclampsia for? Keep us updated regarding Stephen!

Jana thank you for the info, I don't think hubby would even know what to do to be honest as with my first the camera was focused down on the blue sheets instead of the birth can you imagine if he has to message someone lol

Kimmy I got rid of my old mattress and changing mat. Will be buying new ones rather.

PP what a perfect weight and height! Hope you not in too much pain when you wake up again.

I had a terrible night my Lg has been moaning and crying all night and I landed up having such aweful backache after getting up that it spread to my front and I could feel a really strong braxton hicks! I had it twice yesterday, in actual fact my hips and pelvic area were even sore. As soon as the pain disappears my lb would move. So not so sure what to take of it, but if I get it again today I'm definitely going to phone the gynae as I've never experienced this before!

Hope you all have a lovely day! To the three mommies enjoy your little bundles.

Kimmy and Juanita seems you guys will be next so exciting!

Anybody have time to put up the list again of when everyone is due and maybe update it with the babies that have already been born, will take me forever to find it on tapatalk!

So I'm awake now, feeling very tired from pain medication. Keep on looking at El to make sure she's breathing. She's amazing. Very uncomfortable from my cut, needing to cough but it hurts like a mother trucker! A bit annoyed 'cause I asked someone to help me wash my face and brush my teeth, but it doesn't seem like that's a priority on day 1. Otherwise the nursing staff are very helpful - I feel like I'm the baby!

El was 3.07kg and 49cm tall. She's had her first poo (and then some) amd (TMI) I've managed to pass gas which is supposed to be good. She was shown off in the post-op recovery ward - nurses called each other to come look at the beautiful baby. My dad wanted to walk around the postnatal ward and show her off, but I managed to get him to just stay sitting with her. I feel sad for my little brother-in-law, niece and nephews in PE cause they aren't allowed in to see her and they've been so excited. Apparently it was all they could talk about yesterday morning.

Aside from the pain I'm in now, probably the most painful thing was inserting the swab for the micro birth. My doctor still apologized and I told her not to worry because I wanted it. She's said she'll try a different method for her next patient that requests it.

@Zandri - hope Stephan comes out of NICU soon. Have your preeclampsia symptoms gone? Very special that our two arrived on the same day.

Good luck for packing your bags, Kimmy.

Gosh! Sooo dopey now, better get back to sleep!

Moms i wanted to ask you something.

I only re assembled my cot yesterday, but now i wanted to ask about the mattress issue, do i re use it or buy a new one??
the one that LB used had this cover that i can take out and wash, but is it safe?? Never thought of this until today

Hello ladies

@pp - congratulations mommy. She is absolutely beautiful.

I have no idea yet as to how long Stephan will be in NICU but he is doing so well. His breathing on his own and apparently has quite a voice on him. He he the nurse came to give me an update and said he lets them know if he needs something.

@HVDB - danki vir di update. Ja di wassery is maar ni lekker nie maar ek waardeer dat hul my skoonmaak. Ek sien ook uit na more se opstaan. Ek kani wag om my kind te gaan sien nie .

Thanx to everyone for the kind messages and sorry for nt replying to each. This drip makes me sooooo drowsy. Typing without falling asleep is a big effort lol.

Goodnight ladies will send some pics tomorrow
