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

Hi ladies,

Maryke, how you doing? Take it easy please! im worryign about you. How did your appointment go?

Asp, good on you for doing good and its so nice of them to literally show you their appreciation.

Chan, see how you feeling after half day, I know with me from half day it was difficult to sit at the desk, I would almost start crying when I got in my car, if you notice taht from half day you start feeling sore, then I really suggest you ask your doc to give you a letter for half day.

Binks, hope lo is feeling a bit better today.

MommyN, so happy your aappointment went well, still some time for baby to move back, we'll be holding thumbs!

Lizelle, last week my gums were swollen, I rinsed my mouth with warm slt water, flossed which was wuite sore with the inflamed gums but the next day it was aalready much better. If you booking to go to dentist, try rinsing with with the warm salt water, it helps alot.

Yvette, Happy Birthday to Cameran for tomorrow! Big Boy!

Asp, Im sure you could do this again btw I will be amaze if I manage to get to 34w, I think I will be so shocked, proud, but shocked!

Sterretjie, did you do your 4d with Isabel? I would so love to go for 'another' 4d as I think all babies are lying in their own spots, but I think its more curiosity to see how they have grown and whose legs are infront of who and so forth.

Carmen, glad you had a good day yesterday! And thanks for donating your tresses to Cansa (me saying thanks cos we went looking for wigs with my mom)

Vix, how is your foot today? Hang in there hun, even if its possibly another 2 weeks, then you will be 36w, baies will be great weights and may go home with you as prem is considered only before 36w. Is your dr going to give you steroid shots for their lungs just incase?

AFM, feeling better, seems to be story of my life, up one day, down the next, oi. Babies have been moving alot, I am really going to miss it

Chris- wooooo hooooo wow 30w, can you believe it? It must feel really good to be where you are now! But I'm sure your body is suffering! xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

my boy was up from 5:30 so I'm shattered already and I have visitors this afternoon.

think I'm gonna go lay down actually so will keep my reply short.

Asp- you make me laugh so hard, I would also like to get far enough to bring the tweenies home with me but I'm pleased you will allow them to come from now if they want to LOL

Carmen- what a lovely thing to do donating your hair, I also want to do it one day but it's in such terrible condition now I can't think who would wear such a horrid mop. I need a hair cut badly and i told DH if everything goes as normal on Monday then I am going for a cut next week.

o.k can barely keep my eyes open..........

Maryke, can't wait to hear about your app, i wonder what the time of it is?

Hi all

Vix - Maryke and Chris - well done on your milestones!!! Our ladies with multiples are doing so well.

Binks - shame CP is not nice - your poor lo - hope the itching stops soon.

Asp- hats off to you for passing on the baby clothes, ang what a nice gesture of appreciation for the coupl you gave it to.

Yvette - the heat sound terrible - and it will only get worse! Hope you recover from the flu quickly.

MommyN - glad the sane went well. Nice bargains from Calora right? I bought so much on their previous sale - Also got the bottle cleaner - hope it works well.

Chan - how wonderful to spend the time with your daughter especially now before giving birth.

Lizelle- I agree - you should go to the dentist

I spoilt myself and went to the hair salon yesterday, did hair treatments and a colour and got a head massage! Only trimmed my hair - I donating my tresses to CANSA next year with the shavathon - which normally is about the time of my birthday - when I will be turning 40!
Just went for a health assessment at work - luckily the weight- BMI and body fat percetange measurements were ignored. My cholesterol and glucose were normal and so was my BP at 115/83.

See, my post is so long and I left out Lizelle. Dammit

Lizelle, maybe a check up at the dentist is a good idea. I also experience my gums being so sore some days. I first though it was my teeth, but then realised I was my gums. Especially when I eat alot, which is always.

Oh yes, and the trampoline is such a hit now a days. I have passed quite a few house in our little town with those trampolines with the nets on them. Must make a mental note to invest in one once my kids are a bit bigger

hi girls, hope you are all well. i've still battling a mild flu - luckily mild, but it iseems to be lingering for a while now. got today, monday and tuesday left of work then i'm a free woman. leaving my laptop at work for the full 5 months too. will not open it until the day i come back.

shoo but its getting hot here now. we got 2 12000btu aircons put in last week for cameran's new bedroom and ashleys room. last night was a stinker. we sat at the dinner table with veins popping out our hands and sweat literally dripping down craig's face. we are going to get another one put in in 2 weeks time for the lounge/dining area - too hot here in malmesbury.

its cameran's 10th birthday tomorrow. sweet boy. we are going to be celebrating the following weekend becasue craig on day shift this weekend. next sat is my babyshower. it about time!

anyway, vix, watch your bp - the diastolic number (80) is quite high. if it goes higher please call your dr. it should be around 60-70 in normal circumstances. my bp normally lower too - around 115/60 but was 145/92 last weekend when in hospital. scary feeling.

chris - hope you are ok.

maryke - your nanny passed away hey? i am so sorry about that, especially now that you are so far along with the babies. hope you are doing ok though xxx

binks - atleast work is done! woohoo!

chan - you done with worknow today? if so FANTASTIC!

ster - nice to hear about your scan. i agree that around 28 weeks is the best time to have 4d.

chat again later - iam so late as it is

Morning Ladies

Vix, 34 weeks today! Wow, you are doing so great. And if the boys decide to come now, I am more than happy with that (lol ) I can only imagine the stain your poor body must be under. But please hold on a little while longer if you can. I would love to tell people that my twin mommy got to take her boys home after the normal 3 days post c-sec

Chris, also amazing on the 30 weeks. I am not even going to begin telling you how amazed I am that you are still carrying 3 babies. Very well done friend. You also keep them in a little longer. I would be happy at about 34 weeks, if you don't mind (lol )

Maryke, how are you coping? This really terrible thing couldn't have happended at a worst time. Stressing and being so sad is never good during pregnancy, especially so near the end for you with twins. Please let us know how you are! Thinking of you and praying for you

Sterretjie, we had a similiar experience with our "free" 4D scan at 28 weeks. Also glad we went at 20 weeks. And yes, I am sure you'll have a beautiful LG

Binks, sorry to hear about your rough night. My LG is teething but still sleep really good. I am so blessed and that "unfortunately" makes me want to have more and more babies! But I am thinking I might close down the factory after my little man, since he might be a handful. He is really so active, probably 3 times more than my LG was. Hubby actually wondered how I manage to sleep as he kicks really hard during night. But ja, when I am tired, nothing stops me from getting my beauty sleep.

MommyN, glad to hear you baba is doing so great. Really don't know how you manage to keep the sex a secret - I would have had a peek long before now! As for the breech, glad to hear there is still some space for baby to turn. That is what I am most afraid of. My baby being breech and no room to turn as I have such big babies.

Chan, hope your work situation becomes a little better before the end. Being highly pregnant, and highly irritated is never a good combination.

As for me, doing good. Next Wed I'll be 30 weeks. And I am managing so good with a busy 11 month old and a huge tummy. I am actually starting to think I could do this again....but no, like I mention above, I think it is time to throw in the towel.

We are getting our little puppy Jackie (a Jack Russel "mix") this afternoon, so we spend most of last night "dog-proofing" the yard. I am actually excited, although it will be even more work for me. Thing is, we had to put down our one dog about 2 months ago due to old age, and my remaining Jack Russel son is really lonely. So although the timing sucks big time, a Mommy got to do what a mommy has got to do.

Keep well everyone, and if I left out anyone...sorry

Morning!

Vix I hope your body copes a little longer! I know that feeling though!!

MommyN I'm so glad your appointment went well!

Sterretjie wow that's quite a weight already! I was stressing over 2.5kg's at 34 weeks!! Well done for tackling your UIF! I freaking forgot to take my form to my Dr to complete on Tuesday when we saw him! Idiot!!

Binks shame she must be feeling so itchy and irritated. My niece also has chicken pox at the moment. Kyra & I have never had it - touch wood!!! But we both had the vaccines so maybe that's why!

Lizelle if I were you i'd go to the dentist! Hope the gums ease up a bit!

Chris how you feeling? Whoo hoo on making 30 weeks!!

AFM - I'm not feeling so bad today! Probably because my damn boss isn't in the office! Hehehe! My back seems ok for now and I don't have too much work to do - so feeling good! And I finish at 1pm today and it's Kyra's last day at school! Our school closes today until 21 January!!! Can't wait to be at home with my daughter!!
