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

Hi ladies!

Laurakim and MsDee so close now!! I am so excited for you!

We had a 4D scan again yesterday and baby Esme is right on schedule and everything is perfect! We got some good photos of the cleft and the sonographer said it is a very light form, and she usually sees far worse, so I am thankful we have the good deal of the bad deal kinda thing!

Morning ladies

Hope everyone is well today.

Laurakim, I feel for you. All those cramps/BH and still waiting... As you say, they just tease you. How are you feeling? Still in so much pain?

MsDee...any news??

Weeskind...any news???

Any news anybody??? LOL This thread has become very quiet as we all near the end.

Mandymel. Your boss sounds amazing to be so fantastic about ML - again! hehe. You must be looking fwd to your LB's first birthday party. Don't over do it - just enjoy, it's your LO's first birthday!!! So exciting Please DO take some pics for us
Ag the office bitch is just that - bitchy and bitter and twisted. Very insecure, but manipulative and nasty. She's jealous because she went into the files and saw what I earn and what my perks are. If only she would realise that jealousy is a poison that is eating her up inside! She cannot see that I will be WORKING from home! She just hates the idea that I get four months ML and I will be able to work to earn money while on ML. When she was on ML ten or so years ago, she only got three months and it was unpaid, so she wants me to also battle like she did. I give up!!! You can't reason with someone like that.

So I see my gynae today. 34 weeks. I cannot believe I have made it so far!!! I don't know about anyone else but I have found that my pregnancy has really flown by. I know the next few weeks will seem like forever as I get more and more uncomfortable! Baby still not turned yet, we shall see what gynae says, but I don't feel movements feeling any different and YIKES, "get out from under my ribs!!!!!!"

Betty_F - didn't you use your Carriwell gel pads and breast pads? How is your little one doing?

Hi all you mommies and ladies in waiting.

Esmari- yay on the baby shower. What useful ( and not so usefuk) stuff did you get? Lucky lady...
I have to take all those carriwell gel pads and breast pads back to the shop. Wonder if the will accept it back, also someone gave me a perm baby grow, which I must take back.
I also need to get nappies. Would have gone to disc hem, but I don't think I will be needing 3 bales of number 1 nappies. Actually I am surprised that I am still using them.
Where have you decided to go on your lad weekend away?

Laurakim, MsDee let's hope the wait is not too long. I was happy to be pregnant, but did get so bored at home. I went shopping everyday... Manicure, pedicure, went the the movies on my own 2ce. Wish I could do all that now...

Solo- not too much longer then you can say byby to the sour work folk... I know what you mean. There are some work people that I so don't miss at all.

Mandymel- how are the party pals coming along?

Another rainy day today... Am still in bed.

Nope - still waiting here

No signs - I am still having "cramps"/bh whatever throughout the day but they dont get worse or regular!

LOL they just tease me

Hi ladies...

hope you all well? Yet another cold and wet day here by us...!

So the days countdown begins till my 1stborn's bday party, to tell you the truth I honestly still can't believe his turning 1, the time sure has flown by...Just wish me luck for saturday - i told myself i'm going to take things easy and not run around too much and i'm sticking to that!

@Solo...i also haven't had a stork party yet, not sure if they planning one for my, gosh the ink is barely dry on the invites for the party they threw me last year and now they having to do it again ..also, that lady in your office needs to get over herself...this is your time and you meant to enjoy it! And hello, you going to be WORKING from home in addittion to caring for a newborn in anycase, so it's not as if you going to be lying around doing nothing! I'm so looking forward to my mleave as well, especially now that its so tough getting up in the morning with this cold weather...my boss has been gr8 from the start, i was really worried when I found out i was pregnant again (seeing as I had just come back from mleave)...haha, he was shocked but laughed it off and said they buying me a tv as a stork party gift this time round coz its cheaper than sending me off on mleave

@Msdee, good luck with the wait...i know it must feel like watching a kettle boil...but your lo will be with you soon soon

Anyways, weeskind and laurakim any babies yet? Let us know if their's any signs...

Esmari I don't blame you for reacting the way you did over the nappies. I would have done the same.
Any luck with booking some time away? Where are you wanting to get away to? I'm envious
Yay on the baby shower Esmari! Pity about the impractical stuff. Can you not take it to a baby shop and exchange?
Am I the only one still to have a baby shower? LOL

MsDee - so close for you now! Hope labour starts naturally and you won't have to be induced. Keep us posted pls!!!!

MandyMel my BH have become quite strong and painful. I let bf feel my bump last night during one and he was quite amazed at what my bump feels like when it goes rock hard like that.
I didn't even bother to explain that they were practise contractions. Friends of his had a premie at 28 weeks and BF is petrified we are going to have a premie. I keep on telling him we are way passed 28 weeks! So I'll ease him into what BH actually are... hehe
After BH being painless last week, its a bit of a shock to feel the pain now. Ouch!! Not funny when driving either. Some are just the tightening and some are painful. I actually timed mine when I was driving yesterday - one hand on the top of my bump and one eye on the car's clock. Just out of interests sake, not because I thought I was going into labour! But they were coming every 10 - 15 mins and lasting about 2-3 mins each.

Weeskind, how are you doing? Any further promising signs that your little princess is on her way?

Can't wait for ML to start. I love my job, but I am so uncomfy. Also can't wait to get away from the office bitch. She is bright green and spitting fire because I am fortunate enough to work from home during ML. I'm just soooo sick of the unpleasant atmosphere in the office. I really hate greeting somebody with a sour face every day!!

Hi ladies.

It's hard updating from my phone so i'll keep it short. Will do a proper update tomorrow.
Just came from my appt. Estimated weight is 3.2, think i'm going to have a tiny baby. He's in the right position, but I think he's still comfortable in there. So tonight I start going for long walks! But the doctor said if he's not here by next week he'll induce on the 2nd of June.

I'm enjoying reading your posts.

I am bored! Wouldn't say i'm getting impatient, just bored. But I have so much energy still.

So sorry to the ladies having BH. Sounds terrible.

Enjoy your day everyone!
