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

Hi everyone!

Been quiet here and decided I spend way too much time on the internet!!! But anything is better than housework right now...

I am not sleeping well, so wake up thinking, I'll be napping by 9am! But then when MIssy naps... here I am. On Moomie!

Aah, Asp, I know how you feel. I also battle with my weight and its funny how some comments can just get to you! Deep down you know you should be proud but you just dont have the strength! You are a beautiful person, and the fact that your husband is seeing is that is all that should matter! I hope you are feeling better soon!!!

I am also super sensitive at the moment... I had a breakfast yesterday with my mom and some of her friends who dont get to see Missy often, and the one lady bit my head off because I dont have a walking ring for Missy! Its not that I am against them, we've just been on a tight budget here and its one of the things I couldn't justify spending money on! Missy has a few walking toys so she is fine! But the way people say things, and of course being pregnant I didnt feel like justifying my decisions and arguing. But it has played on my mind since yesterday! And the lady jumped down my mom's throat about something and you just dont upset a pregnant lady or her family!!!

Chan - shjoe - why do they promise to deliver in a certain time and then it takes longer... africa time I guess. But dont mess with an excited preggie lady! BUt hope all he stuff arrives soon and then you can really begin getting ready!

Carmen - its always so nice to have a good appointment! You'll have to think a gymnastics oneday for LO! Your LG is gorgeous!

Guess I need to start sorting Missy's room out - I still have all her stuff in the cupboard from birth - but its all just shoved in the one side... I have no idea what is going on! I have zero inclination to start sorting out... its something you wake up and want to do. You cant plan it!

AFM my poor ankles and lower legs... like a real puff adder! People must look at me and think, shame! Last pregnancy was in winter so I covered up, but now I couldnt be bothered - cool is better! I bought a good pair of shoes yesterday which adjust, so lets help wearing them will help. They are just so slippery!

Vix - are you ok after your fall - the aches and pains always seem to surface a day or 2 later. Its funny how you fall to protect yourself - they say thats why kids dont actually break bones - because they just fall - dont try to stop themselves or break the fall! I once fell on my face at work with guests because I didnt want to fall on my side after my arm had been broken and casted up for 10 weeks! So I thought the face was a better option - the poor guys who were visitng the office had to help me up... oh and all because I dropped a paperclip which I tried to catch!

I was reading last night about how much your bod balance adjusts during pregnancy - makes sense - you are defnitely off balance and your body is constantly trying to compenstate this.

Vix, hope the massage helped and the physio is able to help you. Hope you are resting more too!

Enjoy the day everyone!

Morning Girls

After having such a positive day yesterday, I am really having a hard time today. Been struggling in the mornings with a lack of energy, although I sleep so well during the night. I think my little man is growing once again.

This morning when my FIL saw me and told me I am getting HUGE, I did not take it well. And after seeing my SIL and how skinny she looks, I actually bursed out in tears (luckily alone on my way to work in my car)! Sure, I am big, but really, I have mirrors, not need to remind me.

Shame, and just this morning Hubby took a look at me, and told me how beautiful I am looking. You could actually see how proud he is of me for carrying his BIG children.

So, I gained 10kg in total so far, plus the 12kg I had left over from my LG - leaves me at a 22kg to shed so far. Sure, I do eat a lot (and I love it by the way), but today I just feel so SORRY for myself.

Really silly, and trying to remind myself how lucky I am to be able to have such a smooth pregnancy and 2 such beautiful children and a supportive Husband....but being pregnant, nothing is really helping

Atleast pregnancy is the ONLY time one can go from extremely happy to extremely sad in a day's time

Carmen, lovely pics of your LG! She is a beauty. Glad everything is going well with you LG and the pregnancy so far.

Rest of the ladies, have a good Friday

Hellooo girls!!

Vix, glad you got some shopping done yesterday It is kinda scary how little one can buy for your money these days!! Hope you enjoyed your day!

Carmen, cute scan photies!!!

Ill pop in later again.. my little man is desperately looking for his little car toy!! aii...

Scan went well - LG doing well- organs functioning properly - all on track.
She kept lifting her feet above her head - so toes to her head/ face - so funny - so the DR couldn't get clear 4D scans - so funny, the little acrobat.

Here are some pics.







Sorry they aren't so clear I took pics of the scans

Vix - the 18th was correct but I had to postpone as I was on a course.
Chris - oops thought you were packing the baby things

Asp, good on you for being so positive!! Glad your scan went well, your baba is a big baby!! We're the same weeks and mine are around 650g (ea) so not sure what is normal now!! LOL, but they did say to me that the babies wont be growing as fast as there isn't space.

Vix/Maryke, my kicks are also moves now, its funny, I love feeling it.

chan, reallyhope you get the stuff soon, I'd also be frustrated!

Carmen, oh how I wish it was all new stuff I was packing, lol, it was just sorting our stuff from the other cupboard to make space for the babies cupboard Enjoy your fetal ass scan tooday, I remember with mine we sat for almost 1 and a half hours, but I could of sat there all day watching the babies.

Vix, my next scan is 15 Nov (with a possible 4D scan maybe 5 Nov, but will confirm this). Do you perhaps know what page the stuff for hospital is on?
