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

Hi Ladies

Hope you are all well?

Chris - again congrats to you and Ricky. Hope you had a peaceful night - cannot wait to see pics and to hear your experience.

Vix - shame friend - it all sounds so hectic to cope with twins and still have a 2 year old also - at least you are still cheerful

Maryke - I hope your MIL decides to stay home this year. HOw are the two boys?

Chan & MommyN - hope your little ones are well?! When will Nathan-John be home?

Meags - stunning pics of you in the snow - hope you are enjoying France?

Aspoestertjie, Carmen, Binks, Yvette & Lizelle - hope you ladies are well?

AFM, seeing gyne later today for (hopefully) the last appointment before I will see him in hospital on Friday. All still seems fine for Friday - went through our bags again last night just to make sure we are all sorted. I bought DH his first Xmas gift from Inge - a leather diary and a very nice pen. He is so looking forward to Friday and I am getting more emotional about Friday I am sure I will be crying my eyes out once Inge is born

Will let you know later on how my appointment went.
Enjoy your day

Evening girls,

Laliek- Thanks hun, wow but I'm knackered now he is home though, multiples are no joke! Everyone always tells me I'm lucky (huh) and so blessed (huh) which I might agree with when they're turning 2 but at the moment it's tough going! They both wanted feeding at 7 and I was home alone, shit that was hectic! Now I look back at our first week home with just Alex and it looks like a breeze LOL Conrats again to you on your pregnancy, I was shocked off my chair as I'm sure were you but it's fantastic news and I'm just so pleased your app went well today! Xxxxx We've come a long road together but now look I have my twins and you have your LO on the way!

Meags- I forgot to say, I feel your pain on the haemorrhoids, ouch, I had them even before I fell pregnant so now after a twin pregnancy and the serious dose of water tummy after the op I am now passing what feels like freshly cut diamonds, OOOOOOOUUUUUCCCCCHHHHHHH. I need to see a specialist soon I think, wonder who you're supposed to see for haemorrhoids?

Yvette- hope it's not your kidneys again! Ster is having her C-sec on friday. I agree Alex looks like me and Jono looks like C and they both look a lot like DH.

The boys both have cramps tonight, wow this is difficult, I'd forgotton how bad a crampy baby is but wow for 2, I'm in for a bad night I think. Does anyone know how long it takes for food to reflect in BM?

Chris- I hope you are sleeping nicely tonight so not in too much pain. Take all the drugs they offer, anything for a good nights sleep but even that dodgy old hospital bed felt comfy once those babies were out, it feels so good to sleep on your back again doesn't it?

Carmen- so pleased your LG is growing well, I hope she turns soon for you.

O.k must sleep now, will reply again tomorrow.

hey girls,

i'm not feeling so hot. my lower back is really sore and i'm hoping its not kidneys again. my head has been pounding most of the day too. dh and did the deed this morning with no kids in the house. was fun

i am so tired.

vix - hope tonight goes ok for you. please pass some of your cheerfulness this way. alex seems to look like you and jono looks like christopher. i think anyway, what do you think?

Chris Congratz, They are wonderfully big babes for 33 weeks, Enjoy them while you can before you look again they giving you hell.

To all other mommies glad you all ok,
We still going.

CONGRATS CHRIS and well done!!!! I wish you a speedy recovery and may they bring you joy and happiness!! So exciting - can't wait for FB pics!!

While I'm here - Vix so happy that Jono is home and he's doing so well! Your photos are gorgeous!

Chris- congratulations!!!! Congratulations!!!! Congratulations!!!! What wonderful big babies you have for 33w! I hope your new family of 5 are all doinf well! So so pleased for you sweetie! Xxxxxxx I hope your recovery is speedy and you can get to see those little angels today still. Xxxxx

MommyN- did I see on FB that they let you take SJ into NICU to visit Nathan? I suppose different hospitals have different policies? I'm willing Nathan to suck, that lil man needs to come home!

Maryke- wow hungry boys you've got there hey? I noticed Jonathan is drinking more since being home too he's now on 60ml breast milk every 3-4hrs. Alex I don't know because he's on the breast but he feeds like 20min every 3-4hrs. I'm desperately trying to keep the tweenies on the same feeding schedule so I'm not spending all day feeding, just 1hr in every 3-4. Are your boys into a good routine yet?

congrats chris
