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

vix, about the rest, i have a DH that likes to do things on the house on the weekends and he doesn;t understand that i want to sleep. he finds this time ;together' time and i can;t explain enough to him that i actually need to sleep. and when i do, i try to do so while ashley has her morning sleep or the afternoon sleep. last weekend we had a fight about me wnating to go rest and i was knackered from monday morning. then on wed and thurs i drove my boss and colleague around for 5.5hrs and 5hrs yesterday. feeling a buit better this morning but would go crawl back into bed if i could. hate this feeling. craig had flu this week and i gently rubbed in his face that he should go rest and because his body is tired... etc... he was very quiet and even bathed ashley last night without me asking. plonker.

anyway, its cameran's 10th birthday next sat and i need to go get him a pressie.

i am so looking forward to seeing my new baby. i loved breastfeeding and can;t wait for those bonding moments to happen again. i hope baby has dimples! ashley has in her chin and a soft one in her left cheek which only comes out when she pulls her face funny.

Hi guys,

Sorry I didn't pop in yesterday, I was really very sore and couldn't bare to sit at the PC and the BB takes forever to load a page so by the time I've caught up reading I am too lazy to wait for the reply page to load.

Carmen- so pleased your LG is growing so well! Can't wait to see your tummy! I will say one bad thing for carrying small especially with twins, it's flippin sore! If you think just how tightly squeezed 2 babies must be inside this tight tummy and then still imagine them rolling around, yikes, it's not nice! My tummy hasn't actually grown very much in the past month even though the babies are still growing. I can feel them kicking on and behind my hip bones and it's gross! I actually feel like I'm going to re inact that scene from Alien where it pop right out the front of the tummy.

Chan- thanks for your no, I'll go save it now and do like sterretjie did and add you to my baby city sms' list. I do have the BB to post on Moomie but it takes so long if I don't have actual spare time I can't reply.

Sterretjie- I am glad you had a good cry and are feeling a bit better. How old is your SIL? Did you say they should have a POA by today? Thanks for your no!

Chris- hun, sorry you're struggling with sleeping, my goodness, I said to DH I can't decide which is the lesser of 2 evils, The sleepless nights when you're pregnan or the sleepless nights when you have a baby. You trade one type of bad sleeping for another. I definately think the steroids is what has made you girls' boobs big and hard, if they're sore heat up your breast packs you bought and try them out, should take out some of the hardness too.

Yvette- the exhaustion comes from having no rest time!!!! You're always busy busy busy! It's so hard doing this with a toddler to run around after! If I had've thought it through properly I would've waited till after C turned 2 to try for another baby. Everytime I want to sit down he grabs my hand and says "come on Mama come on" it's like if I sit he'll loose me. Aaaaaaaand he's not going to bed til 8:30 sometimes even 9 so early nights are not on my adjenda either. The tweenies are doing well, well I think, they haven't been doing anything out of the ordinary.

33w today, can't believe we are so far already. But so pleased to have had no complications so far!

hi girls. hope everyone is well. i have struggled with being extremely exhausted yesterday and today. in fact, early this morning, i was done 15 minutes early before i needed to leave, i actually went to lie down and put my alarm on for fifteen minutes. i hvae never ever done that before. i was THAT tired.

chris - what dates are you guys looking at for the c-section and at howmany weeks will you be? how are the babies doing? sounds like you are battling breathing at night? goodness, i hope you are ok though. being preg is no joke, but carrying 3! are the steroids also making your boobs hard and tender? i cannot recall that with me last year, but you know what? maybe i did have it and didn;t realise that there could be a link between the two. my boobs were huge and very tender from about 32 weeks last time all on their own.

maryke - how are you coping with the side effects of the steroids? i hope you are not feeling sick though. just have a leka hot shower and let the water run over your boobs and under your arms. the power of warmth is amazing. let me know.

vix - cookie, you are quiet today. all ok? hows the little guy doing/ and are your tweenies behaving themselves there in utero???

chan - hope the swelling is ok today. it is prob kade's head that is causing hte pain on your cervix, my pain has gone now thank goodness. it is really sore.

carmen - hey cookie! how you doing? good to hear baby girl is doing fine. do not know how they can actually be comfie lying like that! let me know when she turns.

asp - i bet my tum is bigger than yours, wanted to take pics now but lighting in my room not too good. will take tomorrow or on the weekend. i am ALL in front. showa how knackered my abs are. can;t wait to see a plastic surgeon - he is gonna have a field day with me!

ster - 5 weeks left! oh my soul girls, our times are coming close! hope you are feeling ok too. good luck with the other 4d scan. hope you get some leka pics!

Hi Girls

I'm still here, only reading for the moment

Sterretjie, really sad about you SIL. Will keep her in my prayers.

Carmen, good to hear that all is well with your LG. And yes, I am sooooo with you on hoping that I don't gain anymore weight. I don't really mind being a fatty, but my body seems too! I can really feel the stain on my poor tummy.

Oh, by the way, I have the biggest tummy EVER! Even Hubby had a really puzzled look on his face last night, but then smiled and rubbed the tummy. I am so used to being big, man, I am going to love fitting into normal clothes again....one day.

I brought my camera to work today to take a pic, then Vix, Chris and Maryke can have something to be grateful for (eg. not carrying as big)

Wanted to mention that I cannot believe some of the girls are already in die 30 weeks and beyond. And we haven't had any scares, we are really such a blessed group. You ladies with multiples just keep taking it easy and keep up the good work.

Lets see, only about a month for me to go till I am officially on leave and then from 01 Jan on maternity leave. YEAH, but (and there always seem to be one) have a shitload of work that needs to be done before I am off on 15/12.

So, better get going!

Keep well ladies

Sterretjie - sorry to hear about your SIL, sad - positive thoughts recovery is possible.

Sterretjie and Chan wow only 16 days left before you go on ML- time will fly!

Chris & Vix - hope the rib pain eases.

My dr's visit went well - LG weighs about a kilo, her head measures a week ahead, hope she isn't born with a big head! She's still lying breech, frank breech, which means head up and legs straight, toes to head. My weight gain stabilised - hope I don't gain more and that she does all the gaining.

Hi Ladies

Thanks for your kind words. I do feel a bit better today after the shocking news and I had a good cry - I know she is in good hands and we can only be positive and hope and pray for the best. It is a bit of a sweet and bitter experience at the moment - sweet because of Inge and bitter because of the cancer but hey, we are positive.

I went for my 4D scan at Clinton this morning and Inge was hiding behind her hands and the placenta was in the way - any way the lady there was so kind to book us again for next week. I told DH I am so grateful that we went for the other 4D scan.

I have been on the Baby City website and signed up for the sms link - once Inge is born you sms to the number provided and they will sent a sms to all the numbers you have added to the link - Vix and Chan I will add your numbers too. My nr is 0836278045 - at least we can then update Moomie as soon as we hear some good news.

Chan - I have 16 working days left until ML - the way work is irritating me at the moment I feel like going NOW!!!! So tired of people that passes the bucket and cannot stand up and say sorry I made a mistake.

I hope everybody else is well and counting down the days. I worked out yesterday that I have just over 5 weeks left if the ceasar is between the 24th and 28th of December - exciting but also a bit nervous!!!!!!!!

Were is Aspoestertjie?
Maryke - hope you had a stunning photo shoot
Chris and Vix - sorry to hear about the pain - hope you are feeling better
Lizelle - enjoy the time alone and rest - he will be fine - granny will spoil him a lot!!!!

Okay, let me get back to work
Ladies, have a great day and take care

Chris hope that pain subsides. I can just imagine how you're feeling - If i'm feeling as bad as I am you must be feeling so much worse. Not too long to go now and at least everyday you get through your babies grow some more.

Sterretjie i'm so sorry to hear about your SIL. Ah I can't imagine what you're all going through - I will keep your family in my prayers.

Vix thanks for letting me know about the cervix pains! I somehow think Kade has turned. Not head up, but he was lying with his spine against mine and legs to the right I think he's turned and his legs are to my left now. Guess we'll see on Tuesday what's going on.

Maryke did you manage the photoshoot? Hope you had fun!

Vix i've saved your number in my phone! If anyone wants my number it's 083 676 1996. At least then if we can't let anyone know we're in labour via Moomies we can at least just send an sms and it can be passed on!

I'm still battling with swollen hands and feet and an incredibly sore back. Don't think that's going to go away so just have to live with it for now. 16 working days left until my leave starts!!!
