Born Oct/Nov 2015

Good afternoon ladies,

Lillyr hugs about your cousin, when I last spoke to my gynae she said to me as long as the pain doesn't feel like it's going into your vagina then it's ligament pain but just get it checked out! I have been having serious pains on the top of my belly and find its gas, but it Spurs on a contraction that feels like it lasts for hours! No harm in just double checking with the hospital or gynae!

Clueless, I just love the ladybug theme, really I do, my Lg had it for her 1st birthday. I'm glad you have the time to do all that work gosh my walls are just going to plain Jane, will spice it up with pictures I think!

As for your mom I would not accept that at all! For me my mom is important but to be so selfish and childish and not to attend christenings and possibly even the birth of her granddaughter and the birthday of her other granddaughter is just not on! Does she realise she is only spiting herself? I really don't know what I would do to be honest, sorry you having to go through that, I would make it very clear that is it necessary to have all this drama just over a name that could be changed if your daughter really didn't like it later on in life. Sending you lots of strength in sorting that situation out I know I would be up in arms and very upset with my mom if that was me!

OMW Clueless that is just such a sad thing that your mom is making this all about her?? I am actually stunned to hear that a grown woman thinks it ok to act so immature, and like you said in your last weeks of pregnancy!! Im sorry but its just disgusting how shes now trying to manipulate you guys by not wanting to attend birth or christening!!! And why is she not coming to your eldest birthday?? What about when baby asks why she chose not to be part of her life? She really needs to think carefully about this coz the only people shes hurting are the ones she loves!!!

@Lilly, my sincere condolences on the passing of your aunt!

@clueless - thank you. I will get the pains checked if they persist.

I love the ladybug nursery...so cute..all the best. Hmm..your mom! I am so sorry that you had to go through that, but at the end of the day, its yuor's and hubby's baby, put your foot down. I couldnt help it but LOL at "it sounds like the incessant barking of a little dog". Girl, put your foot down, this is your baby. Mom will come around..*hugs**

Hi ladies,

How is everyone? PP, I can't believe you're almost there! How are you feeling? Are you doing ok emotionally?

Juanita, the nursery looks gorgeous! Wow, what a lucky LG! I'm also starting to get very anxious, and I don't even have a choice to make like you do!

Zandri, great to hear the good news, hang in there!

Lilly, what an ordeal, I cant even image! Really glad that you are feeling more positive, it would make me very sad and freak me out too. Hang in there with the pains and get it checked out if you suspect anything.

Thanks for all the compliments about the ladybug nursery Still a work in progress, I'm finishing the curtain tiebacks this week and hopefully starting on the border around the room (I'm doing a stencil and then spray-painting it). Very time consuming but hopefully worth it. This is a small section of what the border will (hopefully) look like, all round the room:



Family drama on my side! We told my mom that we plan to name LG Niamh or Niav and she totally freaked out. It's not that she expects baby to be named after her, she is not pro family names and feels that a person deserves a unique name. Oh no, it's just that she hates the name we have chosen. One of her remarks (and there were many) was that it sounds like the incessant barking of a little dog, and that it is unacceptable. She has promised to not attend the christening if we don't change the name, and at the moment is working her way up to not attending the birth, nor coming to see the baby (well, she said if we need her we should call, but she will be staying at my brother's). She is also not coming for my eldest's birthday this weekend My hubby is so angry about her comments that I had to stop him from giving her a piece of his mind, because if he did so, their relationship would be irreparable after what he wanted to say (rightfully). I have remained diplomatic and thanked her for her input, but told her that the subject of the name is closed and that it is ultimately our choice. That evoked some more comments from her side, for instance that she (my mom) will not be able to face our daughter one day, when she (my LG) asks her granny why she didnt stop us from giving her such an awful name. I don't know what to do anymore, I really just need my mom to support me in the last 3 weeks of my pregnancy but it seems is all she wants to do is cause discord.

Anyway... hope you ladies have a better week than mine is shaping up to be *sigh*

Lily sorry about your cousin, it must have been terrible, especially in your state.

My c section is next friday right now am just waiting for my dr to phone me to so that i can see him this week, i spoke to him as early as 8 this am

morning ladies..

@PP- oh woow, one more lala. that's awesome hey. I bet you cant wait for tomorrow, to meet your little one. I am so excited for you hey..please keep us posted..tonight maybe you should go all out, have a bit of some intimacy too, cos it will be a while before you are able to do so again All the best for tomorrow hun

@Zandri- such great news to hear you are doing so well. Two weeks will just fly by..hang in there. How much did baby weigh at the last scan?

@HVDB - Cara is too adorable..so so sweet hey. How is the recovery coming along?

@Juanita..what a lovely nursery..oh wooow..looks so peaceful, the colours are working together so well

@Loiuse - How are you doing? a few weeks to go for us huh? yhu i cant wait

@Kimmy and Aden- how is it going? how long before baby comes, excuse my preggy brain, i bet the answer is somewhere below

AFM - its been a long week, short weekend. We went for our maternity shoot yesterday. I was in such a state because i couldnt even put outfits together..poor DH looked so helpless cos really i was emotional for no reason. Shoot went well, i cant wait to see the pics. Last week however was a terrible week, I lost my couzin to cancer:(, and because she had been transfered here from another hospital back home and since i am the only closest relative this side, i had to go sort out all the paperwork to release her body. So yaa the pic of her lifeless body haunted me for a while. But i am fine now..looking forward to this week. 33 weeks and a couple of days, i have started getting contractions(i think), and i feel the pain right through my behind, i wonder if that is normal. it was so bad on friday i thought i am going into labour, i think what made it worse was also the ligament pains. I took an Epsom salt bath on sat, and i felt brand new yesterday morning, the contractions are better as well. For a second time mom, i am so clueless its embarrasing I am seeing gynae again next week, so hopefully i will get the c-sect date.


do you ladies feel that the babby has dropped? today i am feeling a bit heavy down there, not sure if my mind is playing tricks on me

a lovely day further ladies

@Lauz, did hubby put the cot together??
