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

Hi girls

Wow Congrats to all the mommies who had their babies!! Ive been totally out of whats happening for a while now and need to read a ton of pages to catch up!

Happy New Year to all of you, may it be a blessed and wonderful year xxx

Chan- I'm so pleased Kade had a soft poop. You can always give lacson/laxette 5ml per day if his constipation isn't clearing up. The cramps are like associated with the constipation so once that's gone he'll feel much better. Lacson doesn't get absorbed by the body so it lubricates the stool to pass and it's completely harmless, it's not like a laxative where you have no control over when it comes, he will still be learning to push the poop out just it won't be so dry and hard.

I keep meaning to say, I see you did get Kade circumcised. Did you have it done whilst in hospital still? I need to have the boys done in a few months because they were prem. Ugly little things these willys with foreskins LOL Jono has a super long foreskin and it looks like a bent finger pointing at me when I change his nappy.

Message from Binks:

Hi. Binks here. Just update. Vanya was born 12:10. 3.9kg 54cm. And we doing really well. She latched really good. If u could let the girls know.

Congratulations Binks, I wish you all the best with your nice big baby girl! Xxx

Happy New Year everyone!!

Very quick from me:
Binks - good luck today!!!!!!!
Yvette - with all the anaesthesia and medications that went through your system, it is normal to feel queazy and get diarrhoea.
Chris - how the hell do you do it??? you carry to over 33 weeks, you have THREE babies, you express enough for all 3 all in the time that you are needing a d&c? you are amazing and glad you feeling better
MommyN - those photos are gorgeous

hi everyone else!

Happy new year to all you special girls!! May 2011 be the year of many firsts for all of us with our babies and a year filled with happiness and love!

Binks good luck for today! Thinking of you!

Chris I'm so glad you feel better after the D&C. I know a few people who needed one to be done and felt so much better afterwards.

MommyN the photos of Nathan are gorgeous! He's so tiny and adorable!

Hope everyone else is doing great!

Kade is doing great! Still battling with tummy cramps and constipation. But this morning he had a sloppy poo and DH and I were so excited! People would have thought we were nuts with the way we reacted! Hopefully his tummy is startging to settle now!

binks - thinking of you friend, hope you get some rest tonight. good luck with arwen - ashley is being really hectic about emily. will talk about it again.

vix - i had 3 of those panamor suppositories (voltaren). 2 yesterday and 1 this afternoon. i have been on the loo for 2 hours. i am so nauseas i could hurl everywhere. i do know that i packed away ALOT of food in hospital so i was prob pretty blocked up, but still, avoiding going to bed now in case i need to run to the toilet again (i NEED to run but can't!). i wonder if all this is due to those suppositories or if it is the body's way of getting all those meds out the system? meags, whatya think?

i will post tomorrow on the experience. very emotional girls but i'll tell like i felt it - honestly.

mina - i think i may have been in labour anyway, before i took that castor oil. i had the period pains, show, regular BH which were stronger and insane nesting and energy burst. i also felt 'different'. i think that taking the castor oil cleaned out my system which allowed emily to come down alot faster and have more space. i do not, however, recommend it to anyone. it was not pleasant. in fact, it was 100% awful and i regret it. besides, when emily came out, she clean clean clean. no vernix on her body which meant she was ready.

thanks for all the support again girls. you are all true blessings.

ps - chris had a D&C today. she has not been well. lots of bleeding and clots which is not right. she feels better now already.

Hi Ladies

My last post for 2010, Babe still holding on.
Had hubby do some last min things for me today, vaccumed, hung up Arwens fan i finally did her Lace curtains and getting hubby to put Baby car seat together after washing.
Im so far behind with clothes coz its been raining on and off just when it gets dry it storms again, cant wait 4 my new washing machine.

Thanx 4 the wishes and hope i can sleep.

Happy new year and wonderful 2011 to you all

Carmen- I'm pleased to hear your tummy cramps are better. Sorry you're all alone, must make the day draaaaaaaaaag!

MommyN- They tested Jono's eyes and ears in hospital but we had to pay cash for it. Be warned, the eye test cost us R500 and I think the ears was like R300. So pleased Natahn is picking up weight. I will only be weighing the boys at their 6w check up.

Chris- I'm glad you're getting yourself checked out. I hope everything is fine. Please report back asap, thinking of you! You're doing so great with the expressing especially not having a baby to stimulate either, it's amazing how a baby sucking can stimulate more milk production.

Binks- I hope you're enjoying your last day of pregnancy and everything is ready for Vanya's arrival tomorrow! Thinking of you!

Mina- so from tomorrow it's lots of nookie with DH, long walks and curries. Why don't you pop in an EPO capsule by your cervix everynight, if it doesn't bring on labour it could at least soften the cervix in case you do have to have an induction?
