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

Hi all, sorry for being so quiet.

Hope you're all great today and that you had a great long-weekend!
Mine was no fun..was home from Friday till Yesterday with LO that was sick with Gastro & vomiting. Never had it so bad with him. My washing machine & dryer worked overtime.
Today he seems better and we're back to work & daycare

I so can't wait to feel baby's kicks, been feeling little bubbles now and then for the last 1-2weeks for about 4-5 times a week. But i need to realy feel baby cause i don't feel pregnant, maybe the reality will kick in when we'll found out the baby's sex @ next app. Or it's just my Down mood of LO that was sick the last few days that i might be feeling like i do - want to feel more pregnant - want my tummy BIG! LOL


Been loving to read all your updates!
Hope you all have a great day!
Take care*

Ooooh Jessica...have you seen only one baby?

Vix I know...having a medical aid is much better than paying cash. At least next year I can claim everything back from SARS that I have paid cash now

Eish..having the weirdest dreams....why does that happen when one is pregnant?

VIX....how you feeling now??? Take it easy girlfriend PLEASE. I also realised on Sunday my body is telling me I can't do the stuff I use to do...if your cramps get worse...go to the doc just for a checkup!

ai man Vix why do you think there is more than 1 baby in here!!

I won't be able to come on saturday - sorry everyone! I'm spending the day with my boytjie, I don't see nearly enough of him during the week and weekends I spend every minute I can with him. But you girls have a ball & Vix pls have a cappucino with extra cream on my behalf! LOL

I think I might actually be going crazy!!!! I would put any amount of money on it that I felt something earlier - here sitting at the PC nogal!!! Maybe your prediction isn't so far off hey Vix! LOL

Hi guys,

I am laying in bed I went to PnP quickly to get a few bits (and a steri stumpie and donut for my twins LOL) but suddely I was overcome with terrible cramps in the middle of the shop. Even driving home was so sore so I stuck C into bed and climbed into my bed with a cup of tea. Feeling a lot better now but I'm going to stay here for the rest of the afternoon.

We pay cash for our visits because we're only on a hospital plan but I'm not going to complain too much, last time we had NO MA and in total for a trouble free pregnancy and C-sec our son cost us R40,000 so a few grand for monthly visits is not the end of the the world this time. My Dr is also very good and didn't send me for bloods this time around, no FA or downs tests because he can see the babies look fine and is trying to save us money, he's really very great!

Ahhh my boy just woke up and came to my room, he climbed on the bed and is now snuggling into my neck giving me lots of love and hugs, these kids are adorable sometimes!

Sexy- I was thinking these bouncing chairs might be a nice way of bottle feeding both babies at once. If you can get and watch the In the womb multiples DVD you'll see how the quads mommy was working it.

Jayden looks adorable but mischevious hey mommy? My son has that look about him, I know it well! LOL

Jessica- will you be joining us on saturday? Not long til your scan now, I wonder how many babies in there?

I am also trying to figure out when to go to the gynae. Seems that each one does his own thing.

With my first pregnancy, I was at a different gynae, and she did things a whole lot differently.

For the moment I am thinking of going every 6 weeks, and my gynae said it was okay. But also considering going every 8 weeks maybe.

I had a really healthy pregnancy first time round and feel all the appointments was a waste. That being said, I am REALLY afraid of missing something important regarding babies health and so forth, so I'll maybe stick to 6 weeks and every second from 34 weeks.

Will chat to gynae.

I would like to save money without compromising my little peanut

Okay, that being said, I am wasting money on a 4D because I want it so bad....

I asked my gynie when will all the bloods be done and he said he does it at 16weeks...I'm 11weeks now and I know some doctors send women for their 12week scan to get certain things done...I'm only seeing my gynie when I'm 14weeks...so dunno how all that is going to work out...cause then I'm gonna ask him to refer me to the bigger hospital in Bloem where there is a NICU and peds...and maybe that will also be in 2weeks time after that...so then I will be 16weeks ....grrrr....just don't wanna miss the important appointments and scans.

Yes Hexy, it really does suck.

I have decided not to stress about it, and take it day for day as the medical bills roll in

I am going the "extremely" relax route and the hell with the rest.

We already had bloods done at 12 weeks, so don't think I will go again at 16 weeks, but I already have to pay the bloods and it is about R1200
