@Lauz ive got a recruitment agency to help out. Holding thumbs the right person comes along soon!!

@Pp room looks lovely!!! And so huge??? Little Eli going to be very happy in her new room I think!! Sorry about the bad vibes this weekend

Started on my polka dots in baby's room, looking so awesome! Will send some pics as soon as its all done

Zandri, I would really keep an eye on that spec of blood, our ward gives one free stress test of we concerned and there after we need to pay which is pretty cool. Just monitor those pains and the discharge and if any blood even if brown!

Juanita I can't believe the cow! That is terrible what are you going to do now?

Pill pusher the room looks amazing! Sorry about the weekend big hugs!

Anyway I'm off to bed just can't keep these eyes open any longer. Can't wait for tomorrow to finally get an update on baby L. Oh and I had this lovely lady come up to me in the shop and tell me how beautiful I look. Felt super special considering I have been told how big my belly is.

Sweet dreams and sleep well beautiful moms

Hi ladies

Looks like it's been a busy day on our little forum. I've been snowed under at work. Really didn't have time to post anything 'cause there's a lot of pressure and I've only got until Wednesday to wrap things up

@Kimmy - glad you enjoyed your shower and your sister didn't bring you down. I also got so many clothing items, so glad I didn't buy much in that line before hand!

@LouiseM - I agree with the other ladies, don't let some bitter woman get you down. And people are terrible with RSVPs - it pisses me off like you wouldn't believe! I love planning things, but hate trying to get people to commit to an event. You'd think you were asking them to sign their life's savings over to you or something as opposed to a simple "yes, I'll be there" or "no, can't make it".

@Lauz - shame! I actually like Star Wars, but I don't think I would have wanted it as a nursery theme either. There were so many times that I had to argue with DH about that kind of thing before we were even actively trying for a baby because he'd go on about buying Marvel superhero items. I'd say that a baby's room should be more baby-friendly and when older the transition can come in. That being said, El has a little plushy Batman and a Lego Star Wars Darth Vader amongst her teddies and my friend christened the nappy bin "R2D2" when she saw it on Saturday!

@Zandri - I also had RLP when I was feeling sick and coughing. I'd be a bit concerned about the blood though. Maybe give your doctor a call?

@Clueless - I've felt exactly the same! I hate being asked if I'm excited because I actually just want to get to the point where she's home and safe!

@Juanita - this temp sounds like a total dud! As if there aren't people desperate to be employed!

@Lauz - I'm also working quite late, but I (should) have just under 2 weeks until El arrives. I think I'll need that bit of time to relax though. My boss Is getting more nervous by the day that something might happen while I'm still at work!

AFM. Had a bit of an emotional weekend. Long story, but basically left feeling very hurt by my in-laws and the way they treat DH (and me). It's not like a constant bad blood thing, just the way that they don't seem to consider us as a priority among their children. It really upsets me that something like this has come up so close to El's birth, it's one of the last things that I wanted especially when DH is hurting from it. But I also look at it from the perspective that maybe the timing isn't as bad a thing cause at least he'll have his little girl to shower attention on and won't be so quick to pander to his parents' every whim.
I was a bit concerned earlier today that "something" was happening. I've been getting painful stabbing pains in the back of my rib cage. I started monitoring the frequency but fortunately it tapered off. I read that some women go into "back labour".
And the nursery is 99% done. Just a few minor touches here and there to satisfy my OCD to still be done.

@HVDB

Thank you I will definitely go if I have any more symptoms. I feel much better now that I can lay down. But I will speak to my doctor on Friday as well. He is very good and always sets my mind at ease. But if I have anymore of those sharp pains I will go to the labour ward. They seemed very nice when I went for my orientation. Baby is doing well kicking like usual so I will rest for now and just monitor everything
Just 42 days to go before my sch c sec. Almost there

@Zandri

Remember to use the labour ward at Kloof, they are brilliant, you can also just give them a call with your concerns... I went there once when I was concerned.. not even phoning just pitching up, they hooked me up and checked that everything is 100%, it only costs R230, but they don't treat you as a paranoid preggy mommy, they really comfort you and prefer seeing you rather than not going and something is wrong. Oh I went there a 2nd time when I was concerned and it was the right move! It will put your mind at ease! R230 is nothing should something be wrong.

Pain is gone, really weird but I guess it was ligament pain. Funny you should mention that your Dr is very happy with your progress because my Dr said the same thing. He said that I have a very health pregnancy despite my BP being a bit high. I am not on any medication so I guess everything must be OK.
I will tell my Dr about the pain and spec of blood just to make sure. I have an appointment for this Friday.

Luckily I only work until 16:00 so a few more minutes then I can go and rest. Feeling tired today. (More than usual)

How's the pain Zandr?? Any more occurrences???

i still have high bp but this time im on medication. Every time i see my dr he's quite amazed at how well both baby and i are doing considering. Even when he checked placenta last week he was commending me on my progress thus far! I think he really expected a much higher risk pregnancy.
