@ Salemien, congrats she is beautiful and so perfect. Enjoy this precious time.

Congratulations @Salemein!! beautiful little girl! I was wondering who of us would deliver first, from there on I think it will all go fast. So happy everything went well with your delivery and that your little girl is doing well. Hope you enjoy her loads!

Hi ladies!

I wanted to come and share our miss Eliana de Vos with you.

After so long God has granted us with a perfect healthy little girl. She looks nothing like her brother but, he wil always look out for her.

Thursday 14 June 2018 at 9:24 am, Eliana came into this world with the biggest scream ever.

She is 44cm and only weigh 2.405kg at birth (we are at 2.460kg now!)

She is the calmest baby ever and we could not be more greatfully that we got to bring her home.

Pics of her attached

@ Carien, your holiday sounds amazing! I remember with my first born I couldn't float on my back as just sank...was so funny.
We won't be using birth control as I always just record my cycles. I also want another child really soon (turning 40 at the end of the year )

@ Reece, how are you feeling? Your nursery looks so beautiful!

@ Chanti, sorry to hear about your placenta. When mine was low I spoke to the midwives and Gynae and they said it can still move up and out of the way by 36w and just needs to be monitored. Did they say that this might be the case for you as well?

AFM, 27w today and my scan is over a week. Just loving my growing belly and missed it so much when my first was born

Hello ladies!

@Reese - soooo happy to hear you found a doc that can (and will) deliver your girls for you, really such a relief I'm sure! I hope you are able to take it easy for a while, and I'm sure the sleeping pills will help. Every day now counts to keep them in, so really just take it one day at a time.

@Chanti - ugh! Placenta's and their issues!! I know it can still move up and out of the way, just keep asking your doc to check when you see him again. One of my good friends was told c/s for placenta previa at 33 weeks and it moved out of the way by 39, she delivered normally at 41 weeks. As they say, its not over till the fat lady sings! Oh and 26/07 is my husbands birthday! so can only bode well if you do have to have the c/s

AFM - we got back from our babymoon this morning. It was a most amazing experience, absolutely beautiful part of the world. I think I spent about half of the trip floating upside down in the water just looking at all the sea life, really love to snorkel. We were very lucky, we saw a sea turtle, a really large eel, 2 different kinds of reef sharks, a few stingrays, some really interesting looking star-fish and a family of pilot whales (besides all the different kinds of fish and other sea live I mean). The water is soooo clear, I dont think you can really explain it to someone, you have to see it and OMG so warm, I would swim every day! On the way there we spent a day in Kuala Lumpur - didnt really do much, we were so tired (could not sleep for love or money on the flight from JNB to Singapore) but we went to see the towers at least and walked around before heading back to the airport. Spent the day in Singapore yesterday which was nice for us, we lived there for a year in 2016 so it was lots of reminiscing and going to places we remember. We were both so tired so we really had no trouble sleeping on the flight coming here which is great b/c we are back at work today. My husband is off to CT in just a few mins, then tomorrow morning he will go to Namibia and Wednesday AM to Botswana only to be back here on Wednesday PM. Then on Sunday he leaves for Uganda for 5 days and then he is done thankfully. We really do need to get our asses into gear to get stuff done for this little girl, still have not moved my youngest out of the nursery. At least we got the wallpaper for the nursery and I think I found the fabric, now just need to have everything made.

Not really much else to report from me. I will be 32 weeks tomorrow, will see the doc again around 34. My c/s is still scheduled for 30/07, and pending something happening, hope that will be my delivery date.

@Reese - your nursery is very sweet, sure your girls will be very comfortable in there Your mom is great for doing that!

Have a great day ladies!

PS: have you guys given thought to birth control after you deliver?
