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

Morning Girls

Cherub, welcome to our group! I am almost 28, have a LG who is almost 11 months old and I am having a LB this time round. We are a lovely group op ladies and I am sure you'll enjoy chatting with us!

Well, I had my babyshower on Saturday. Was a complete surprise, which is so weird since I always sense these things. And Hubby knew aswell, which makes it double weird as he really can't keep a secret. I got sooooooo many little outfits, blankets and toiletries. Really blessed! We also bought Adriaan's furniture on Sat and went to fetch it on Sunday! All I need to do now is the decorations (bedding, curtains, letter against wall for name etc etc)

Also started packing his drawers and sorting his outfits - man, have I got a LOT of washing to do. Bette I go off beginning of Jan, otherwise I will never be finished in time. Having a LG of 11 months who is so extremely busy, doesn't leave much time for anything else. (Okay, and it is so much fun to play with her instead of actually doing anything that requires effort...)


I wanted to reply to everything everyone said, now can't remember! Sorry friends, will try again later (need to read again it seems)

Hi Ladies,

Hope you are all well?

Welcome Cherub - I am Sterretjie, 35 years old and 32 weeks pregnant with our first child - a little girl called Inge and we live in J'burg.

Carmen, I stay in J'burg - grew up in CT but J'burg has been my home for the last 5 years.

Vix, again sorry about Saturday. I will hopefully get my car today. Next time definately!!!!

I had my first swim for the season yesterday and it was so nice. Off cause I couldn't just dive in and it is quite a torture to walk in to the pool and to get use to the water temp but once I was in it was magic. Inge is so busy during the day and at night time she sleeps until DH comes to bed and switch on all the lights he can find in the room and then she is awake - I get very annoyed with him when he thinks he is the only one staying in the house - MEN!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ladies, have a great week - time is slowly but surely running out for us - I have 19 working days left for ML!!!!!!!!!!

Yvette sounds like we're about the sime hight and size.
I'm also a size 6 shoe, 1.68m and a 34.

A warm day here as well but such a storm of a wind we can't even go outdide.

Hi girls hope all is doing ok.

Sorry i've been MIA this week, really tried logging in at night by first lying on bed relaxing after i put LB to bed while watching a bit a tv...and the next thing i see i'm fast asleep round about 9.

Feeling great during the day these days. Just a bit of a headache today.
Yesterday me and LB went to b'day party - wish he so enjoyed, we ended up staying 3hours.

Hope the meeting was great, wish i were there.

Welcome new mommy!!

Today i'm 28weeks, i so want to go search for my first preggie pics and compare to this one. Think i'm carrying very smaller this time. When i lie on my back on the bed my tummy still looks a bit flat...i was a bit worried again about baba being a bit small this morining.
I have been gaining weight though...starting at 55kg (i'm 1.68m) and now at 67.2kg. I've always been 55 from high school days. With fist pregnancy i gained 20kg ending up 75, then after 6 months of BF i was back at 55. Hope to get back at 55 again, but we'll see. Don't think after 2 babies my body will be the same. Well so gaining about 12kg allready i actually don't think she could be to small.

Hope this headache fades. So tired now i'm not in the mood for preparing food...but got to take care of DH and LB
Baked some choc-mint muffins earlier, just cant seem to stay away from sweet things.

Anyway chat later, and i'll try to make more time this week for moomie, was missing you all this week.

Take care****

welcome cherub to our thread!

i'm yvette and 32 weeks preg with number 3. my first child, cameran is 10 later this month, my daughter is 15 months... and i live in CT!

girls, oh my word. i woke up this morning in a vile mood. i was so rotten that i actually annoyed myself. i think its becasue i feel pressured when DH's folks here - i am the youngest DIL and newest to the family and i always feel like i need to match up to my other 3 much much older SIL's - 2 have 3 kids each and 1 has 4 kids.

oh well. got over it though. poor craig and cameran! ashley was all whiney and clingy on me today which is totally out of character. it was really hot here so maybe she's just feeling hot?

vix - i'm a size 6 shoe! crazy chick. i will feel very humbled if you carry to 38 weeks...

i am tired. story of my life.

has anyone heard of good aircon specials around?

chan - looking forward to seeing your pics!

ster - bugger. didn;t realise you were a ct mom! we will have to make a plan and meet up with others moms on our thread that are from ct?

chris - hows the moomie trio coming along> hope you are feeling ok though.

Hi everyone

Welcome cherubtreesa - wow 4 pregnancies - well done.

MommyN - hope you're feeling better.

Vix - glad you all enjoyed the meet.

Sterretjie - the Cape Town meet was really good, the meet covers a few threads - and you would have met lots of moomie mommies -everyone is warm and welcoming - I didn't go to the previous meets thinking there was no-one I knew.

Enjoy what's left of the weekend.

Hello new mommy (sorry can't see your screen name on reply on my phone :- ~ ) Welcome to our ever expanding group, if not in numbers then in physical size LOL wow your 4th, bloody hell, I am dying on my second.

I am Vix, I have 1 son who just turned 2 and am expecting twin boys, DD 7th Jan but they will come Dec. I'm 28 and from Benoni (actually originally from the UK but married a south african from Benoni JHB)

The meet was great but went fast as usual. Everyone is looking fantastic! Maryke definately looks ready to pop, I think she's had enough of being pregnant now LOL Chris looks amazing and no one would know she is actually carrying 3 babies, she looks amazing! Was really great to have baby free chat again but sadly I fear it may well be our last, certainly for those of us popping sooner rather than later. The next one will likely have to be a picnic with some of the babies.

O.k I have housework to do.

Yvette- I hope you have small feet!
