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

Morning

So much activity on the thread it's hard to keep up!

Philipajane, hope you are getting better.

Solo, you cracked me up! Thank G_d you weren't sitting on the chair when it broke otherwise we all know what everyone at your office would be thinking! I went to that thread you were reading yesterday & i am one of those, head in the sand, bum in the air moms to be!

About the weight... Dr Rey, the king of plastic surgery says anything up to 13kgs is fine It's amazing how many of you have gained so little! All i know is i still fit into my size 8 pants so i'm good, it's only tops that i've changed sizes cause of the belly. As long as the babies are developing well i don't think it matters whether you balloon up or shrink.

So I've given up on the prunes and sent our driver out for some samoosas. The curry and all should sort me out in no time hehe.

Betty_F thanks for the reassurance! So am I correct in assuming that I may as well write the next two years off to sleep deprivation and mushy mommy brain? the more I read the "fine print" posts and see the comments like "hats off to single moms" that I start getting heart palpitations and panic attacks!!!!!!

I'm tired, sooo very tired that I can hardly put one swollen foot in front of the other. I suppose pregnancy tiredness is one way of conditioning our bodies and minds for the lack of sleep once baba is born.

Anyone having fun with choosing baby names? I seem to be incapable of finding one name (boy or girl) that I fancy. What a decision to make!

...

Philipajane how are you feeling today? Thinking of you. Btw your cot set is absolutely stunning. Love it

Rakker where is the factory shop in Honeydew? I need to do some shopping - urgently!!!! Lol

Weeskind I have to admit that I am slightly envious!!! My weight gain is also confdential, but Dr seems ok with it. Dr says 500g per week is acceptable. I feel and look like a whale! I keep on telling myself that its for a good cause . But bf is not impressed with having a fat gf. Men are so shallow. Or is it just my bf who is so shallow?

Afm, well my office chair broke yesterday - not related to my expanding body ! So my boss is fixing it, in the meantime I'm trying to make myself comfortable on a horrid secretaries chair. Scary thing is that I was lucky I wasn't sitting on it when it sheared in two!
Otherwise I am having to munch on prunes again....hmmm.... yum? Not!!!!!

Weeskind, that is amazing. My weight gain is strictly confidential...


AFM: I bought 2 Playtex feeding bras at the factory shop in Honeydew. Not sure how well they will work, will have to wait and see. Cost R150 for 2. Not bad! I showed DH how it works, and his comment? "Kinky". Men !

Thanks for the warm welcome!

Solo - saw the thread on the fine print..., it is hectic having a LO and comes as a shock to ones system. The sleepless nights. Nothing worse than sleep depravation. I remember when M was a baby I thought to myself what have I done to my life... After 2 years things get better and then you start thinking about having another baby...nuts.

Phillipajane hope you feel better soon. Take it easy..

Ertjie amazing to keep gender a surprise. Hopefully no more cramps for you. I have also noticed that I get cramps if I over exert myself. Time to start relaxing.

Wow weeskind - can't believe you have lost so much weight. I weighed myself this morning and have gained 6 kg...how much is a healthy weight gain? Oh well I am not very pleased with the gain a hope I don't struggle to loose it again. With M it took me 2 years and then I was still6 kg over.


Wishing you all a great evening.

Hello ladies.

Had such a busy day.

Welcom Betty_F, good to have you on the thread.

Philipajane, Ouch! That sounds painful! Thanks for the heads-up! Will definitely be careful with my yoga and stretching from now. And thnks for the info on the cot. Get well soon.

Hello Weeskind. I can't believe you managed to lose so much weight during pregnancy. & Yes, maybe baba wants to surprise you. That should be fun!

Hello Solo, Ertjie 1, Rakker & TaNasha.

Enjoy your evening ladies. Just wanted to check in and say hi. I'll chat more from home if the thread is busy.
