Jan/Feb 2011 Mommies (Nov & Dec 2010 early babes)

Chris - it must be heartwrenching to be in hospital and your A-team and DH are at home. I empathise- This too will pass. Thinking of you and hope you recover quickly!

Maryke - the twins are growing well! Hope the top ups work.

Vix - I think I will be like you - I think I will enjoy the later stages more.

Ster how is Inge?

Yvette - How frustrating that your DH has to work!

Lizelle - almost there - I'm 2 weeks behind you!!!

Morning ladies

Chris , my heart broke into pieces reading your post. Strong’s girl & I’m thinking of you & hoping for a speedy recovery.

Well I’m glad to see that the new mothers are coping. Please put some pics up of your little angles. While reading all your stories, I can’t wait to hold Marinus in my arms.

Went for my scan on Tuesday & the gynie is satisfied with everything. Marinus weigh 2.5kg at this stage, so he’s also going to be a big baba. Only have to see him in 2 weeks time again.

Started to pack Marinus hospital bag, but haven’t touched mine. Think I’ve got all of the things that I need. Just have to pack it in the bag.

Enjoy your day ladies & keep well.

Hi Ladies

shame Chris my heart is broken for your sake, but soon you will be home as a family I know that's not what you want to hear, goodluck friend

Ok so Aiden is back to his old self moaning and crying... bugger...

Had them at the pead yesterday Aiden's weight is 3.85kg's and Llewellyn is a wopping 3.95kg's can you believe it my little pork tjops... she says I must stop force feeding Llewellyn and see what he does, she also says Aiden is a " hungry baby" and I must put him on Lactogen to keep him fuller for longer cause he will eat every 2-3hrs or he will just eat constantly so starter the formula last night still only got 2-3hrs so not sure now, well lets see how it goes today eish this trail and error bussines what a mission

Vix what was Alex and Jono's weight when you had them at the pead?

Yvette hope find something to help with more energy and help with the mood, maybe get some rescue drops?

hi ladies, unable to read everything from my phone, thx meags for updating. Yesterday was one of the hardest days of our lives, i did manage to spend time with the babies but it broke me and dh to have to take them home and not go as a family, we both just cried. I'm hoping the dr says i can go home and continue iv treatment there but have to see temp and blood results first. Whatever has to be, i think i'v become numb to all of this, think its so unfair to happen to us. Everyone tells me to b positive and look bt the good things that are to come, but those things dont help me now. Anyway, i am feeling a little better, as cried out as i am i'm sure there wil b loads more. Enjoy your days.↲
I'm assuming mina had her baby? Congrats, hope all is well x

Wow girls you've been chatting alot the last 2 days, i've read alot now and not even sure who wrote what.

But thinkng of you Chris!!! Hope you get out before Sat.

Vix i think that even if a mom can just get about 2weeks of breast milk in their babies is great. i Was lucky enough to BF my LB for 6months and this time i'm gonna try for 4, cause i'm not up to it again to express at work. i Actually had just enough milk with my LB for every fed. And the last 2months of the 6 i was choking my breast just to get milk out, but at that stage we couldn't afford Nan.

I also want to ask the doc what he thinks when or if we could close the factory, but i'm so afraid of hot fluches (spelling?). LOL Can't afford a 3rd LO.

Binks your babies are so cute with those dark hair.

Well i've got the flu, and so does DH (with Migrane), he's been home for 2 days, not doing much, while i still have to work feeling SORE (the feet and my "lady") and then i have to take care of LO and him. While i'm not feeling to well...but someone has to be the mom and wife LOL.
I'm so tired after work and just want to relax a bit but then still have to do alot - i struggle walking at work and this time of the night i'm worst than a duck with one broken leg. Not long anymore, time has to pass quick.

Vix will be thinking of you the 2nd, the day my baba will be born.

I'm so tired now girls - i'll do some more personals tomorrow night.
Hope everyone else is doing ok. Thinking of all.

Take care*

mommy - i am so with you on the toddler thing. i am in the same boat. emily must stay in my room in the campcot (in the middle of the cot) with the baby monitor on. she was awake for 2 hours yesterday too but i had her with me in the lounge on the floor and ash just sat with us poking emily's toes. she is learning body parts now it is a pain this arrangement but what can we do?

chris - i really hope you are ok. and ricky. you will be home soon. i am really sorry xxx lots and lots of hugs xxx

vix - did you find that the autrin helped with moods? i have also suffered with low iron in the past and i am wonderin gif i should just go get some tomorrow to try. does it make you constipated though? the last iron pills made me really constipated so thats why i am pretty hesitant to take again. i've go tmy bennets ready for later tonight. i have ot be honest, i think emily might have been cold last night for her to be so niggley. the aircon was on and i didn;t feel cold because i was up down up down up down all blady night. tonight i'll put a babygrow on her and see, along with a ahot of bennets for just in case


binks - the lansinoh is great - worked fabulously last time. be careful with the cortisone - it thins the skin and will prob make it worse in my opinion, as the skin will become more tender. i wouls stop that and switch to lansinoh to get the real hydration going and when your nipples are fine, maybe just a smear of the bennets cream? neither of these need to be washed off before a feed.

kimika - your cupcakes look YUMMY! i would do anything for a few right now in fact, every time you post, i see your pic and think the same thing "YUMMMMMMMMMY"

carmen - cookie maybe you should see you gp or pharmacist. but it is prob your iron levels being low, as vix said.

meags - i got goosebumps reading that. how awful. no words.

jodon - congrats on winning the breastpump! are you preggies again?

maryke - i am looking at a day mother here for ashley. i think she is ready for more stimulation. she is 17.5months. maybe two monring a week. on tuesdays she goes to kindermuziek with my mom (who runs the classes) and she absolutely loves loves her little friends.
a new nanny will take a long tme to trust - i am with you there. good luck on your new domestic, hope she does her job properly.

chan - how you doing friend? congrats on kade's lovley weight!

ster - how is inge?

Chris- I am so so sorry you could not go home with your babies! I can't even begin to imagine how hard this time has been for you and you haven't seen them in so long. My heart is aching for you and Ricky, I shed a tear when I read the update from Meags. I hope you are better sooner than saturday and they can send you home. Thinking of you day and night sweetheart! Xxxxxx

Meags thanks so much for keeping us updated. Xxxxx
