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

Hi preggy ladies.

All well my side

Esmari, I feel terrible that the fight was over the rocket ship cake thing. No worries if you can't send it to me. I will search the Internet and/ go to the library to get ideas...
Glad you have sorted things out! I think it is a hormonal thing. DH and I never argue, but while I have been preggers, this time and last I have been known to be a little bit irrational at times. Well it only lasts for 9 months.
I picked up most weight lad gimp in the last month when I could hardly move. So yes I agree that trying to stay busy and moving about helps with not gaining weight.


Kasia - yay team pink! Goog luck with the naming process. I am still undecided. So many beautiful girl names. Then I like one, make the mistake of telling my mother and she finds fault with it. I think I just won't discuss the name and name the baby on arrival.

Wow phillipajane- when you put the list like that it is scary to think how much money one needs to spend. And even after having bought the big ticket items. Lucky I have already got a lot of stuff from first baby, just need to get some girly stuff.

I am taking it easy today....lazy Sunday, as it should be xxx. Happy day to everyone!

Hi there all

Thanx for all the responses. Its nice to know you all care so much!

BUT...... I have to appologise! I think I expressed myself very wrong! I was angry and mad at the moment, and my hormones got the better of me! I OVERREACTED!

My dh is an angel! He is one of the most involved partners you can get. He works his arse off to provide for us. Helps me in the house. Washes dishes, baths the kids. And when they were babies, got up with me when I bf. And, he does appreciate me and what I do for him/them! He regularly thanx me for what I do! And I love him very much.
I think its me needing to appreciate him more, and not the other way around!
It was actually a fight about something stupid! (BettyF, you wont believe it, but it was about the recipe he had to scan in for me........) Think I changed into a pregnant b!tch!

Phillipa, unfortunately we live in a small town, so no mommy groups! So ja, have fallen into a dull housewife life where I dont have any grownup conversations. Its frustrating, and it gets to me. And it could change who you are!

Thats why my advice to anyone considering becoming a sahm: surround yourself with lots of support! Now, only if I could follow my own advice!

Ps. We have said our sorries! All is ok now. Been dancing between the sheets again! Hehe.

I know I have left something out that I wanted to say! Preggy brain!


I have really not picked up that much weight yet. About 3kg. And I think I know why. When I was pregnant with my ds and dd, I had a maid. So no housework then. Now I do it all on my own. I am more mobile now. Not just sitting on the couch all day like with those 2.

well it has been confirmed that we are expecting a LG

over the moon!!! and quite funny that i was convinced that we will be having another boy Now we need to start thinking of names....

...

Thanx everyone for your support. Guess its something like the 7y itch. Hehe

I remember going through something similar with my other 2 pregnancies. Hormones hormones hormones! I love my husbaod dearly, we just sometimes go through tough times. All natural hey......

We never go out. We never have romance anymore. Sex is something we have to do. We have nothing to talk about. 7y is a long time..... Guess we have to find our spark again.

Esmarie, hope you sort it out. All the others give great advice. We all go through things like this, and it takes hard work to get through it, but I believe it's worth it. And remember, no one gets the Hollywood love story!

I bought the diapers at PnP - paid R99 for 72 nr 2 diapers. Still not sure if it is such a great bargain, but buying them was a pretty big step for me. So I guess it's fine.
