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

wow vix!!! I always said that i will enjoy every second of my pregnancy - but after reading your joys, I CANNOT WAIT to be a mommy!

Paisley- you will have so many of those dreams and they'll feel so real but I promise you, that moment your baby is placed in your arms for the first time will be one you couuld never prepare for. Oh wow, look at me, I feel all emotional now thinking back! I can even feel the milk in my breasts LOL that's also an experience you'll never forget. Once your milk comes in, every time you think of or talk about your baby you'll get this flushing feeling as milk comes into your breasts, man motherhood is so brilliant! I am so pleased you girls will get to experience it!

Yay Chan for you scan!! I still have quite some time to get to 12 weeks. You have to post a scan, I just love seeing the scans!

Chan my hubbies sister is downs but bad she can' talk and really walk very difficult for his mom my heart bleeds for her so our gyne automaticaly does the screening but i am sure all will be fine if i look at her she is really one of God's Angels, but very hard work to

Yummymum welcome and congrats!

Yummy M- welcome to our group, will be great chatting!

Guys don't read too much into your bloods, Yvette had the highest and fastest doubling count of all even more than Maryke (twins) and she confirmed only 1 baby. It just depends from person to person.

Remember aswell if it's just one baby in there then it's probably a blessing. Whilst twins are adorable and much wanted they put a huge strain on your body, the pregnancy becomes a very high risk one and you most likely won't get the birth experience you were hoping for. I think for your 1st pregnancy a singleton is nice because you get to enjoy it more, get closer to full term and your first experience as mommy is shared with just 1 little angel you can devote all your attention to. In Maryke's situation where her second pregnancy is twins she can be more prepared because she knows what to expect and look out for although I'm sure she's probably still pooping her self hey M? I know I would be.

However many babies you've got I wish you all the best happiest and healthiest pregnancies ever! Enjoy it! You only get one peaceful pregnancy, any future ones will be with toddlers screaming by your ankles! LOL

chan i think we will do the normal neck and nose measurements by the gynea, and if all is fine we will not do any further tests. We have a downs boy in our family (my mom's brother), so i know the ins and outs of downs, and for us, we would not abort. So i just figured - why then bother with tests if that costs a LOT of money - if we will still keep the baby regardless... But that is just us.

I have 6 more sleeps to go!!!!!!
