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

Binks and Yvette - it is almost your turn! Hang in there

binks - the EMS is tough to live with... part of the job is all i can say. i missed craig today but atleast my mom and dad were here. we cooked up a storm!
i had a massive massive contraction around 3:30pm. it was so blady sore and hard it actually took my breath away. my mom had just left so i went to go sleep while ash slept and got nothing again. just had another huge one a few minutes ago which lasted 1min35s. hard and sore. haven't had one that long before. normal time about 45sec... i have also had that so-called period pain fo rth elast few days but nothing has happened.... as yet.
about discharge... i have to use pads. panty liners just don;t last. i had loads of mucous about 2 weeks ago but that has stopped now - just more watery and lots of it.

i am off ot bed. i am totally knackered.

nite everyone, hope you all had a lovely day x

Hi and Merry Christmas to you all!

Just to let you know, Santa visited us early, and we BROUGHT NATHAN-JOHN HOME ON CHRISTMAS EVE! It was the BEST pressie ever! Never mind the house is upside down, we had a VERY quiet day today. Sarah-Jane of course enjoyed every minute. She loves her little brother and keeps giving him a kiss. I am so proud of her, only a few times has she accidently been rough around him, she says shhh when she sees him sleeping, and tried to give him her bottle, dummy and comfort blankie! She is so cute and suddenly so grown up!

Nathan is weighing 1,9kg. His drinking is improving everyday and thank goodness I can stop expressing. I was expressing way too much because I was sleeping through the night and skipping some feeds. So hopefully we can get into a better routine. Nathan just wants tosleep, but I am supposed to wake him every 3 hours to feed, but if he doesnt wake by himself, he just doesnt feed properly! So sometimes I leave him and he goes for 4 hours. Last night he went for over 5 hours. But I dont want to jinx this, please!

I am just so happy, and at least I have almost healed totally, well regarding the c-sect I am almost ok. My leg still doesnt look great but at least its not too sore anymore.

Sterretjie - congrats again! Looking forward to hearing how you and Inge are doing!

Chris - how is the A-team doing? Hope you are recovering well and getting last minute preparations done before your beautiful babas come home - soon I hope. Hang in there - NICU really is the best care for them, I know its difficult on you, but you wont remember the hard goodbyes and long days sitting around in the hospital once they come home!

Chan - how are you and Kade doing?

Maryke - nasty scare with one of your boys, I hope all is ok now. They are too cute!

Vix - how are you doing? I really hope the boys can at least comfort eachother and get into the same routine! I wish I could help you! Thinking of you all the time. Hope you enjoyed your Christmas day today!

Yvette - sorry you had to be alone today! I hope next year you are able to spend good family time together!

Binks, Lizelle, Carmen, - hope you have comfortable last days! I know I am forgetting a lot of friends, sorry, its late for me and I am so tired!

All the other preggie Moomie gals, hope you are all well!

HAPPY CHRSTMAS everyone!

Love from me

Hi everyone a Merry Christmas again to all.

Yvette i think you feeling like me, i want the baby to come but i think im scard of the birth coz i still remember the last time very well. Hubby tells me to take it a day at a time then the birth then the baby. A shame about hubby but i use to have the same thing hubby and me medics so no rest even on holiday, now he works office me on leave.

Im still ok had a very sore tummy last night was restless. I dont remember but is it normal to have lots of discharge at this stage? I always feel it and run to check colour but normal.

I hope you having a fab xmas with your families.

Merry Christmas everyone!!!!

Ster - hope the day nurses are better today...man some people really are in the wrong profession

merry christmas everyone.... !!!

just quickly before my day really starts...

update from ster:

the day shift yesterday was fantastic for her and really helped with the latching of breastfeeding for Inge. but then the shift changed to the night ladies and they are horrible. ster is really upset by how she is being treated and may even take it up with the shift manager. i hope she gets another group of ladies on duty tonight.

her pain is manageable and asks for her pain meds in advance so that she doesn;t have to suffer while the drugs action.

other than that, she is TOTALLY overwhelmed by her baby girl and is totally in love with her already.

gives me goose-flesh!

again, Merry Christmas to you all - God has been good to us by delivering the babies safely and bringing them to home you (for those that already have their babies! for the rest of us still waiting, i pray that we cope with the last few days/weeks!

hugs and kisses xxxx

hey binks - trying to! was annoyed today. i'm really anxious and i know that is what is stressing me out. craig also working the fri/sat/sun day and mon/tue night shift so again, for the 3rd year, i'm at home alone for xmas. hate metro. how are you? any more signs your side?

going ot buy castor oil tonight, went i went the other night, there was none! can you believe it! truth be told, i'm battling with not being as excited as everyone else about the baby. i am really nervous - but i think the possibility of the c-section is really bothering me the most. i am missing craig and my nanny, i have really become quite dependent on her.

ster- hope you are well and happy there with your angel baby.

vix - how is jono doing? you can try the BENNETS COLIC MIXTURE instead of the buscopan. it tasted so much better but does the same thing - takes away cramps.

chris - how are the 3 little ones today?

natalie - have a lovely xmas at home with nathan-john. again, what a wonderful surprise for you to take him home early.

carmen - i am fine thanks, just counting down the days..... two minds about wishing it to come sooner but i am sure once the tot is here, all that anxiety will go. as i do generally struggle with anxiety anyway.

chan - how is kade? how are you?
