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

Hi everyone

Sorry, I dont always get a chance to post something, but I get all the updates in my inbox.

Its amazing how the hormones change us, and our husbands also change, some husbands get cravings and everything for their wifes, so their hormones must also be flipping!

Most of us are over the 1st trimester, I thought we should have more energy now... but it doesn't seem to be... maybe its got to do with the fact I have an 11 month old who is up andabout all the time now!

I am really trying not to lie awake at night, my LG still wakes up and just wants to play or something at 1am in the morning! She is not unhappy, and would love to be left in her room to play or a while! They say your sleping habits during your pregnancy effect the LO.

Hope that we can keep te meet to 4th Sept, then I can join! Looking forward to meeting you all.

I am going to try eating ice cream for heartburn, last pregnancy was going through a super size bottle of gaviscon ever week! But cant afford it this time, so holding out as long as possible with taking anything (and by the way, my LG was bor with hardly any hair, and still has hardly any hair!) Old wives tales...

Enjoy your evening Ladies!

Positive on the icecream. Had 2 icecreams yesterday for lunch. Was wondering why my maternity pants are fitting nice and snug today....

Should try the icecream for the heartburn. Had some severe heartburn an hour ago. I was sitting with my boss (he is 46) and made a "heartbrun sound" and he said "oh, having heartburn!" I started laughing - he is really very in tune with my pregnancy. Don't think my own husband would have noticed my sound for heartburn. Think it might be since my boss is so broody - pushing his wife for another baby, but don't know if she wants to. Seems not. Shame, poor man!

Maryke, the outing sounds nice. I was also thinking this morning: I never do anything JUST for me. It is always either for my LG or my Hubby. I think it is time that I started treating myself again...

Hi Ladies

well so I decided last night I am taking the night of took my friend for sushi had a fab time laughed my ass of then got home I am sure hubby must of tought I had a couple of wines of all the laughter but when I got home guess who was awake, I looked at him I say really why is my child still awake he says no she wanted to wait up for me I am like really who's the parent here he says but she demanded then he shouted at her then I shouted at him for shouting at her she was crying eish so much for my night off then I decided during the night I woke up at 1 I slapped him on his head and said go take our child for a wee and he actually got up well not without moaning but he did

But I need like vix says the day off just to do what I want for a change, Vix glad your hubby is more understanding

Carmen I see why you want to do the amnio but you will have a healthy bouncing baby!

Chris jong you musn't come and scare us again with the bleeding we worry about you

Asp we going for our check ups on the same day, sjoe glad to know it's not just me with hubby, are you still craving the icecream, I must say that's all that helps for this horrid heartburn

Eish it feels like my ribs are pushing through my lungs

hi chan! No news is Good news!

Hbuzz & Asp - I'm not worried or stressed, just want to do the necessary tests to make sure there are no anomalies or abnormalities. I hope to have another lo after we are blessed with the healthy birth of this one- I'm sure all is fine with baby.

Kimika - will let you know the price of the bloods once I get the bill.

Hope everyone is well.

Just wanted to check in and say hi to everyone!! No news from my side!

Chris-- u better look after urself n take it easy.. u could take melatonin tablets to help u sleep..they are safe..
enjoy ladies

Morning All

Well, nothing new from my side. Only having my scan on 08/09, so still a long way to go. Hope to have my PMB benefits sorted out before then, so I won't have to pay for every gynae visit & the bloods etc.

Chris, so VERY glad that things are going so well for you (except for the sleeping or lack thereof). With me, I manage to sleep by 20h30 in the evenings till about 05h00 - right through without waking. Was the same with my LG. Don't even have to get up to pee (ha-ha)! Guess I'm lucky....touch wood. Hope you get some sleep and take it easy at work.

Carmen, that is some really nice scan pics. Wow, you must have been over the moon to have such a great view of baba. Lucky, lucky! Don't stress about the amnio, one of my work friends well pregnant accidentally at 43 years with her first child, and had the same stress as you, also did amnio - no problems. Today she has a beautiful LG, healthy and fit and very spoilt.

I heard of yet another twin - friends of my parents' daughter. She is only eight weeks, but they saw 2 heartbeats. One is a little weak, but apparently it is still twins. Don't know if the one will vanish...would be a pity.

Kimika, yea, I do feel the same as you about the "sharing my love and attention" with another LO. I think it is very normal to feel this way, but like Vix said, I do believe that once the new LO is here, it all works out.

Maryke, sorry for Hubby being such an ass. I think the hormones definately has an impact, as I myself am never statisfied with Hubby these days aswell. Trying to cool down though. It is harder the second time round being pregnant, even with a singel baby. I am very open about all this to Hubby and luckily he understands and tries to help. Hope things get better.

Oh, almost forgot to mention, my LG is 8 months old today. I am so proud and so sad. Please believe it when people tell you they grow up quickly - as in a blink of an eye. She is getting so cute and I am really a PROUD MOMMY.
