Re: New Mommies to be May, June & July 2011

Hi ladies

well this is a first - loging in from work, and not at 4 or 5 am! lol

Tanasha - happy to be back at work? Wonderful that you are having a baby shower, so nice to be spoilt.

Phillipajane - you must be so excited to have a home water birth! Hope it all works out for you. My SIL had one in November. It was her second pregnancy - and she was so happy with having the birth at home in a relaxed environment.
I had a c section with first birth, so am unable to even consider having a home birth.

MsDee - so hope you are feeling better... not great feeling tired, don't forget to keep taking those vitamins..

Solo - glad the phsio seems to be helping. Your boss sounds like a real ars. I mean you are entitled to sick leave if you are not feeling well. Although I have been told that after 36 weeks if you are booked off pregnancy related then it comes out of your maternity leave? Anyone know anything about this?

AFM - I did have my baby shower on Sunday. Baby was so spoilt - got sooo much pink stuff. I think I'll need a month to go through everything. I just need DH to move the compactum etc. into the babyroom and then I can start unpacking.. then I need to start buying the left over gooodies. I was so so tired yesterday recovering from Sunday.. but feel better today..

TaNasha - LOL brilliant girl!!!!!! I'm very glad for you Maybe you shouldn't find out when it is.... Leave a bit of a surprise for yourself

MsDee shame hun, I hope you start to feel better. Not nice to start the day tired and in pain.

Philipajane - wow, I'm envious! A home water-birth sounds wonderful. My med aid doesn't cover a water-birth so I haven't even contemplated going that route. We watched a home water-birth at antenatal classes last week and it was absolutely beautiful to watch. Of course, as I said, I freaked out when she was groaning with her pushing! But it wasn't pain groans it was pushing groans. I am such a baby that I wanted to pass out!!
Yay on the colostrum! I haven't seen any yet

I went for physio last night and I felt fantastic afterwards - like I had a new back, but the pain is starting again now. I'm going to physio again tomorrow night. My boss asked me if my back was sore and I said I was in absolute agony, and that I'm going for physio and that my Dr has booked me off for the week for bed rest. The SOD didn't even comment. He just kept quiet. I could scream!!!!!! Now that it's school holidays I also have the office "creep's" son in my office playing on the spare computer and I haven't got a leg to stand on. He drives me insane. Yesterday I had to turn my radio up loud so that I wouldn't hear his loud crunching as he munched through a packet of office biscuits that his mom had the cheek to open for him. When he started playing with the stapler he got a look from me that sent him running. Ladies is it just me and my extra sensitive hormones? Or are my feelings valid? I just want to sit here and cry. I think I'll go and eat some worms

TaNasha - wow - you did all your shopping for your little princess!! I'm in awe of you! I need to sort through what I have been given and then make a list of what I need and then go and shop till I drop (literally )

MsDee Sorry you are havinga bad Tuesday.

Today i am covering for a colleague while she is on holiday, so I have access to her inbox and I stumbled on e-mails regarding a baby shower for me!! The dutch dont do baby showers, but at work we are all different nationalities, so I am so happy Iw ill have a baby shower! Yay! Now I just need to keep my eyes open for when....

Good morning.

I am soooooooooooo tired! I really considered not coming to work today. And the tea lady is taking her sweet time bringing my coffee!!

And on top of it all i have nausea and my stomach is sore most of the time

Hope you're all having a better Tuesday than i am.
