Good Morning Everyone

Hope you all had well rested weekends
It has cooled down in JHB and I must say, I am loving it - LOL

@Newmommy, hahaha an old friend that we bumped into at the mall congratulated us on the pregnancy, I just laughed and told him he should be very careful when making such comments - For a moment he looked like he wanted the floor to swallow him - LOL but then he said he could tell cause of the way I was walking with my hand on my belly.. it is a fun prank though! LOL

I also agree with you comments on the babyshower, I have pretty much planned mine, and just asked my girls if they could help me with the set-up etc on the day - Don't want them going out and paying for everything, and doing all the work - I think they have just gotten over doing my bachelorettes/kitchen tea.
When are you planning yours for? I think I'd like to do mine before the Mama Magic Expo, then at least I can assess what we still need and get it then.

@Zaza, shame hun, are you still struggling with the exhaustion? Is it worse that the first trimester? Awww man, your LG is too cute, she must be so excited for her sister to arrive

We started painting Bug's room this weekend, and cleaning the room out for him - So exciting!! But our house is a little chaotic, I now need to squeeze everything from 3 rooms into 2 - But I am getting rid of ALOT of junk, its slow progress but we will get there. Unfortunately we will only have time to finish his room around the end of November. We literally have no weekends available until then Its going to be a very busy few weeks!
But we're off to Drakensberg this weekend for my best friend's wedding, so hoping to get a little relaxation in

Have a great Monday all!

@ Carmy awwwwwww what a lovely pic of your little Bug!!! Glad all your sugar was fine and you and baby are doing well. Yes you fast approaching the 28 weeks and a lot seems to happen once you in the last trimester, I am finding I just wanna sleep all the time so as much as there is a lot to do, I tend to sleep first and worry later!!! at least my 4 year old does nap with me a bit and when she wakes up she tells me, mama you still sleeping I'm going to play!! Or she tells me mama is the baby making you so sleepy, you getting such a fat tummy, she thinks it's hilarious. how is hubby doing? is he enjoying the baby movements?

@Newmommy hehehehe that's cute that you have a camera shy baby already, they do indeed have their own personality already in-utero!!! Yes I am over the emotion since my last visit but I do think and still pray for those parents and their little baby, it's all we as outsiders can do. I think if I dwell too much on it, I will be too scared closer to my last few weeks, have to stay focussed. Good luck with the baby shower planning, let us know how it goes and the ideas I also need some inspiration on that one.

Hello Ladies!

SO wonderful to see all of your 4D scans and bump pics, they are all so adorable. For me, no 4D scan, as I am being 'minimally invasive' - and also, my baby hates scans - at the 12 and 20 week ones we had to literally jump up and down to get him/her in place, and at 20 weeks he/she refused to show us the face. I have got to say, I am just as stubborn, so I have to understand this little one too:). As for a bump, its starting to show now finally, so there is no more confusion as to whether I'm just fatter or pregnant! (Will upload bump pics soon) yay!. Also, I am so tempted to look at people with a cross face when they ask and say, NO - I'm just FAT! just to prank them *naughty giggles*. Probably will do it to someone I know that I haven't seen in a while.

@ Zaza: I am SO glad to hear that you have recovered from that gynae day, my heart broke for that couple and for a few days I couldn't even read anything baby-related, I just prayed for them so much.

@ Lashy: Cheese spread cravings! lol! These days I am craving sparkling water - oh my gosh I have bottles of them every day. I like the bubbly feeling when it goes down

@ Carmy: Glad all was well on the glucose screen, and what a cute baby

@ Happi1: Awesome 4D scan, so happy you get to see your baby's face. And we get to share the excitement too.

@ Dalene: 29 weeks already - how time flies! I'm 26 weeks, and discovering that my body is kicking my butt! Over the weekend I had right sided pain, and then yesterday something else.. always a new journey..

In general, other than minor normal issues, I am quite fine - started planning my baby shower (with my bestie), because I cant deal with friends planning it and then it bombs out because two friends simply cannot get along. Also, I find it quite unfair to expect one person to foot the bill for a party or for people to pay for themselves? Cultural thing, I guess.

Thats all from my side for now!

Good Morning Ladies

Thanks for the info Zaza, luckily no issues with my urine test so all good
@Happi, your pics are beautiful!! Its so amazing being able to see their faces so soon - It makes everything seem to much more real!!

@Dalene, cant wait to see your pics!

Had my 24week scan on Tuesday and everything all good Bug now weighs 687g - Perfectly average! LOL
I am getting really excited for the next scan now - From what I can tell, life gets really busy with baby preparations after 28weeks so really looking forward to that. Bug is also getting a lot more active now, during the day he seems to be awake more than asleep.

Other than that, no real issues with any pregnancy niggles, heartburn is starting but I am drinking a glass of milk with everything I eat, and that seems to be helping.

How are you all feeling? Have a great day ladies!

@Happi, wow those are beautiful pics, so glad you got good shots, did you have anything to eat before of just went in as is, I know some mum's don't get baby to move so they don't get good facial pics. I have my 4d scan on Monday, can't wait to see if I get to see my little one's face, keeping fingers crossed. Yes we waiting for your bump pic!!

@Dalene, oh so exciting can't wait to see your 4D scan pics also, let me know if you got baby to move or not for the 4D shot!!!! have my 4D scan on Monday. Like you taking each day as it comes, some days I go without any aches and pains but some days are so difficult, I agree with you 100% I think it is baby growing cause besides kicks I feel very weird movement from the baby, tumbles, swooshes, like when you on a roller coaster that gut feeling, and lot's of long stretches where I have to rub baby away from that position, I'm glad it gives me comfort baby is ok but it hurts sometimes. I can't walk long distances anymore get too tired. Glad you all packed and yes we have 10 - 12 weeks to go.

Good afternoon all the pregnant fairies

How is everyone doing today?? Summer is finally here, and it looks like it is going to be a very warm one

@ Zaza, thank you. I got the list and I am almost done packing for me and baby. Hospital bed is booked and 4 d appointment is made for tomorrow. Can't wait to see my little angel's face How are you doing, any new complaints? I have sooo many new aches and pains, I now only take it day by day.

@ Happi, that is such a clear picture of your beautiful baby's face. You must be over the moon

Anyways, my baby is making funny movements nowadays, no more just kicking, it is like I can feel her every move... I guess she is getting bigger and bigger now. I am almost 29 weeks, so home stretch for me. I sometimes still feel in denial lol...Guess it is time to catch a wake up, soon I will meet my new baby daughter.

Keep well mommies, and I hope everyone is doing well. I will try to upload 4d pics tomorrow

Have a lovely one!!
