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

Hello ladies.

It's been a while! But i still read all of your posts.

@Thamu are you past your EDD? I Hope baba comes soon. I was already tired of waiting by my EDD, but funny enough when i went into labour i could not believe it was really happening.

@Solo, good luck for Monday, & don't worry about not feeling ready. A few minutes before giving birth i still thought " the minute he comes out i'll be a mom and there's no turning back!" but the minute i saw him everything just seemed right. I would not let him out of my sight. The nurses had to talk me into letting them watch him for a bit. To this day i still have moments when i feel a bit overwhelmed when i remember that he is here to stay but still, i can't stand being away from him even for a minute. So don't worry, those feelings are normal, you'll be fine.

@TaNasha, How are you keeping? Good luck to you too, i take it you're almost due since you're thinking about trimming the "lady garden"

AFM: I give up on trying to rest when the baby sleeps. As tired as i am it's not working for me. But we're still doing well. I've started supplementing, i feed him 125ml of bottle milk per day cause i seem to not have enough milk???

@Kariehn, i've heard about the different cries. I'll search for the video.

Hello Rakker, Laurakim, Phillipajane, Esmari, Tshepy, Mandymel, Ertjie, AHA and all the other ladies. I hope you are all doing well.

Will back tomorrow/Monday for a proper update Plus a pic.

Enjoy this lovely cold evening!

Hi ladies had a babyshower at worked yesyetday didn't expect one because I just joined the team in April got a R750 toysrus voucher and R750 woolies voucher from my Finance team. Two baby growers and barbie playing set

I just found the most amazing info on learning to recognize baby's cries. It's called the Dunstan Baby Language and the woman has done research on baby cries and teaches the different sounds they make for different needs. There's 5 words and a Dvd available to teach you the different words. I found thecomplete lesson 2 on youtube and the first word from lesson one. I only read it half an hour ago its easier to know what he wants. Just go on youtube and search Dunstan baby language

...

All the best Solo, once baby Josh is born all will be forgotten and its nice that your BF is there to help you through.


AFM I am anxiously waiting and had hoped will have someone here to help with this anxiety but I guess very few. Have had to move from its going to natural to if you haven't delivered by this day you have ceaser. Anyway its th hoping and wishing that any contraction is th start of labour but alas th usual BH. Anyway ladies enjoy th babies and how I wish I had kept to my EDD like you guys. In my last post I had also asked if anyone in CT knows newborn baby fotographer who is affordable.

Solo - you are going to be 100% fine I promise you!!! When baby comes everything changes but it's a good change.

I haven't got a sling but really would like one. The ladies I know who have them love them!

Karien - I purposefully use baby-gros with the poppers down the front and not the ones with just ones at the bottom and top. But still the ones around the bottom are a pain.
