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

Hi ladies

I'm a mommy to a perfect little boy! Ayanda was born on sunday 29/05/2011 at 19:50, weighing 3.040kgs.

Will give more details tomorrow, still drugged...

Hi there everyone

My phone not sorted yet! Hence me being so mia! My fil was full of apologies yesterday. Couldn't stay mad at him. Now I have to wait till he can pay his account some day, so my phone can get back on again. Sigh....... What makes it sad, is that he gets the money from us every month, on time. But ja, whatever.....

Laurakim, so sorry that you have to go through all this pain. Not nice. I am uncomfortable eversince the third trimester started. Have the bloated pain. The only time its better, is if I juice up on apple juice.

MsDee, oh the moods!!! Not in the best ones myself these days.

Mandymel, sounds like you had a hectic weekend. Glad it all worked out great.

Sorry if I missed someone on the personals......

Afm: Bloated bloated bloated. I simply hate it! Starting with progesterone support today to prevent preterm labor. Utrogestan. I do hope it doesn't make me more bloated.
Will take a 32 week photo later tonight, and then come post it. I feel huge by the way!!!!!!!!!

Anyway, so saturday I got pushed over the edge by something really stupid. It ended in me and dh crying together, and deciding we need help to get things on the right tracks. We have moved away from our relationship with God. Got distanced somehow, and it is affecting everything. Dh realised some things about himself, and the same for me. It was only the second time in my life that I have heard him cry. And the next day, I felt so light within myself. As if a big weight has been lifted from my shoulders. He says he feels the same. So ladies, please pray that we find our way back to the path we were on before. - Hope what I said made sense.

Hi Everyone..

Gosh it's cold today - wish I was home in bed...Congratulations to karienh on your baby's arrival...Wishing you all the best

So what a weekend I had with my son's 1st bday party! He almost ended up celebrating his bday in hospital...I took a day's leave on friday to get everything ready and i noticed then already he was crabby and moody, but we just thought it's because his teething. Anyways, we monitored him throughout the day and he seemed fine..Friday night though he wasn't too well and when he went to bed he felt warm, nevertheless later that night he got really hot and i was up whole night with him and when i took his temparature he was 41degrees! So i called my mom and sister and they said to sponge him down with cool water and give him panado syrup..it brought his temperature down a tiny bit but it was still in the 40's..so we took him to the hospital emergency room and the doctor examined him and they give him a suppository to break the fever and then continued to sponge bath him until his fever broke...the doctor said he had a throat infection and luckily because we had brought him early it hadn't spread to his ears yet...so ya, we eventually left the hospital after 11am and he was doing much better..the doc said we could still have the party, it's up to us to decide if we want to go ahead or not...By this time all the cakes and party things were already paid for and ordered so we decided to go ahead, but we would watch him and see. Everything went smoothly, my son even manged to clap his hands along with us when we sang happy bday for him...The medication worked like a bomb and he was back to his same old self - I on the other hand was- and still are -so exhausted...sleep deprieved, 33 weeks pregnant and running around decorating for the party, serving the guests and having to clear up afterwards really took its toll. Plus, we had a prayer meeting for the family on sunday night so once again tables had to be laid and tea served from all over so it was hectic! Luckily my family and DH all pitched in where cleaning up was concerned so that was a big help

As a result we overslept hectically this morning, I only got to work at 10 but they understood so it was ok...was also very emotional, couldn't stop crying this morning but I think it's just a mixture of fatigue and the after effects of worry from our lo's health scare we got the weekend...

Oh and laurakim glad to hear it's just 2 weeks left..so now the countdown begins for you...!

I had a rough weekend

I had such pain on saturday - ended up spending most of the weekend in bed.

Thankfully the antibiotics seemed to have kicked in and I started feeling better yesterday afternoon.

Had our last gynae appointment this morning - baby and I are both fine. So next time we see Dr is the 13 June for the c-section.

So 2 weeks exactly

Solo- I am sure that there was something on Carte Blanche sometime ago about cleaning your face with your first wee of the day
Love the name Joshua

MsDee- soon you will hold your baby, hang in there.

Laurakim- Hope your infection clears soon!

Spent the evening at my Mom- McDonalds for supper, I don't normally cook on a Friday!

WOOHOO Karien Congrats - so awesome!!!!!!

Esmari - hope you got sorted.

I am STILL in pain Have cramps again this afternoon - surely the antibiotics should have kicked in

Congratulations Weeskind and Karienh enjoy your bundle of joy
