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

...

Rakker - sorry about the work

TaNasha - I have a daughter who is the opposite of neat and tidy. It drives me MAD because I like order. But once we had the second child I did pretty much have to throw order out the window Once a month I clean out Kiaras room - repack her cupboards etc etc and for 2 days I marvel at the neatness because thats how long it lasts (if I am lucky)

I am officially nearing the end of my ability to move around. I honestly feel like an elephant - you know how they walk slowly and look too big - well I feel like that. Walking to the loo is tiring and uncomfortable.

So I have advised my family the next 4 days I shall spend as much time as I can IN BED!!!

The kids are at a friend tomorrow night so D and I get date night - we are going to watch a movie and have dinner - our last date night before baby arrives

Baby has stopped moving regularly - did worry me yesterday but this morning he did a few big kicks so he is still there. This is normal hey?

Cherise sleeping, finally, so let me finish my post...

Esmari, Cherise weighed 3.375kg. You can add that to my info.

AHA!, congrats on the birth of your LG! May she bring you years and years of joy!

Hi girls!

Someone asked about the work. I went in a few times, but my VPN is set up now, so I can work from home. I only do the most necessary and will do less from now on as my ML is starting to run out . It is extra money, but money won't buy me time with my LG.

Someone also commented on the new mommies being scarce... We read everything, but hardly respond, because mostly we have our babies in our arms. Cherise wants to be in my arms all the time, so it is hard to find time to do anything.

To the ladies still waiting and who are already on ML, enjoy the time off, because looking after baby is a full time job.

Mandymel, use Corsodyl mouth wash. Safe during pregnancy and will sort out any infection. Gum infection can actually lead to premature labour.

Gotta go. Cherise more than a handful now...

Hi ladies!

Esmari Good luck with the cleaning! I am a neat freak, so i guess i need to prepare myself for all these fun and games! I think it is perfectly normal for children not to want to clean up or for them to cheat while doing it.

Solo you have to be careful! Dont fall! Glad you had a nice babyshower!

Mandymel, that does sound painful, i am also not sure what you can do about it, maybe check with your dentist?

I have only bought 2 nursing bras so far and they are soooo comfy! but they dont give as much support as my normal ones do.

I had a scan yesterday and Esme weighs 2 kg! and she is measuring ahead at 33.6 weeks! I hope this means that she wont keep me waiting till past 42 weeks!

Esmari - where are you? You can try their home shopping but not sure they will have since the do usually "shop" at your nearest store.

Mandy - that sounds eina. I know its "normal" but not sure how long it's supposed to last or what you can do about it!

Hi ladies,

Hope everyone is well? Just a quick question - is anyone else suffering from REALLY sensitive, bleeding gums? Mine started this week and it's driving me up the wall! Bleeding isn't too bad but my gums are really sensitive and itchy...I had a bit of it with my 1st pregnancy but wasn't as bad as this time round How long is this gonna last???
