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

If you have a baby with you, they usually let you jump the queue, so go for it.

Betty I am doing a BA (Comm Science) - this is my 3rd year - hoping to be done next year!

Hi ladies

Sarah is such a doll, likes to sleep on me and BF's most of the gimp, no routine here and no 3 hours between feeds...
Went to the clinic yesterday day, she has gained about 200g since leaving the hospital, so they are happy with her progress. Tried to go to pick n pay afterwards, but she started performing. So I left and DH continued with the shop.
Today is our first day alone at home, as DH went back to work. We are missing him

Rakker can't wait to see your pics. We have scheduled a shoot for Thursday. I hope LG behaves..

TaNasha, glad you had a wonderful break. The nursery looks lovely. Good luck with the leave issue. After Matthew was born I cut down my working hours and finish at 3 pm instead of 4.30. Does not sound like much but I miss the traffic from town and cut out about an hour of driving time.

Laurakim, well done on writing the exam. What are you studying. When I wrote an " it was ok" generally meant a pass - so holding thumbs for you.

MsDee and Weeskind - not too much longer...

Karienh- love the nursery pics!

Esmari- don't worry re the duvet cover. Baby won't need it immediately. How is DH and how did his exams go? Looking forward to your baby shower on Saturday I am sure!

Solo- yay on the computer. After the first couple of weeks, I'm sure you will find a couple of hours a day to work. Are you planning on breastfeeding? That eats away a lot of time...but I am loving it!

Have a great day and holiday tomorrow... Wonder if Sarah and I will make it to the voting station....

Sorry Esmari - I didnt mean to pass it on to you I actually chatted to my gynae yesterday about it and he said it is perfectly normal!

He said it normally starts around week 32 and gets more and more intense as the weeks go on!!!

I was like you are about the duvet about my baby bag. I demanded my family go out one saturday and not come back until we found one. I was obsessed with it.

Have you tried Toys R Us or PnP for duvets? Or just find a nice blanket?

I wrote my exam this morning - it went ok - not well but ok. I am glad I wrote it though!

Ag thanx Rakker, will have a look at the bicycle shop later. Here is a couple in town.

Esmari, I also have a pram with tubes. If you can't find the puncture, just buy a new one from a bicycle store. I know some of the bicycle stores sell them. I got one for R30, which was half of what the guys from Chelino asked me! If you can't find any, let me know and I'll send one to you.

To all the "almost moms", good luck with the waiting!

Why do I even bother trying to get a maid, if the one I did get doesn't even pitch? I gave you my darn phone number for a reason!
