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

Wow, everyone on this thread must be having a fantastic weekend...it has been so quiet.

A happy happy Easter to you all

We have been very busy with birthday parties and Easter celebrations.

Also Matthew has been sickies again. The ear infection which he was on antibiotics for 10 days never cleared, and now he is on another antibiotic. I need to take him back to dr in 2 weeks. If nothing has cleared then I may need to go to the ear specialist to see if grommets are necessary again.

I was 39 weeks onFriday. Still enjoying the pregnancy very much. Although today my feet are a bit sore, I think it is because I had the family over today so was probably on my feet a bit too much. I ate way too many chocolate eggs, now am wide awake - so much fir. Not having coffee while pregnant.

DH helped out with the nursery this weekend. He put up the boarder on the wall, and I got the cot and Moses basket ready. Still getting the last bits and bobs ready, getting the rocking chair put together, and must still put the mosquito net up and pictures for the walls. But slowly getting everything done.

Esmari- great to see that you have the list going- and so weird to see some babies born!
How are the new mommies doing? Dying to see pics and to hear all about the birth experience and how you are coping? I am concerned about the difficulties of having 2 LO's to look after.

Laurakim, how are you feeling? have you found a baby bag yet?

Hello to everyone else, enjoy the rest of the Easter break.

Great for taking over the list Esmari! I am sure Rakker has her hands full with the new bundle!

I´m a first time mommy planning on going vaginal.

Hope you all are having a lovely loooong weekend!

Ms Dee didn't the hospital give you a list of things to bring? They actually don't encourage bringing too much!!

I am desperate to pack my bag but cant find a baby bag I like

I got some meds from the Dr yesterday - think they actually made me feel worse but Cameron does seem a little better!

Please let me know if there is someone missing from the list. And also the type of birth everyone is going to have, and if you are a first time mom.

Rakker, Claire - congratulations on the babies!

Rakker- wow sounds like you had a fantastic delivery! Well done!

Solo- enjoy the cream buns while you can
I am hoping baby stays in until after Easter so that I can feast on Easter eggs!

Laurakim - hope you and your son feel better soon xx

TaNasha- so wonderful to be spoilt! Are you back at work then? The bag sounds lovely, I still need to get one. Still undecided as to which one though!

MsDee - good idea to leave a bag in the car.

AFM - had breakfast with collegues yesterday, they spoilt me rotten! So devine.
Then I got news that the office will be closed on Tuesday, so I am now on leave! Wonderful, has not sunk in yet....

Rakker and Claire - Congratulations! So glad everything went well. Enjoy the next part of your journey!

MsDee, I downloaded the file and then when it was finished, it opened as The ABC Fieldguide to Fairies (!?!) So I just spoke to Kalahari and they'll get the publishers to fix the problem and then I have to buy it again. Maybe you should wait before you download again, to make sure you get the right book. I'm so frustrated, had so many issues with Exclusives about the other book I ordered and was really excited about finding this cheap one that's immediatly available and then I end up with a fieldguide to freakin fairies.

Hope everyone has a great Easter weekend, and drive safely if you're going away.

Hello ladies.

How in the world did i miss the fact that Claire, was due to give birth today?????

Wow! 2 Babies already!

Congratulations to both Rakker and Claire.

Rakker, i pray i also have a very short labour & i can't wait to read your birth story!

BettyF, i think i'm sort of like you. As much as i'm looking forward to seeing my little boy, i don't feel rushed, i'm also gonna work till 2 weeks before my EDD, longer if my boss lets me!

Laurakim, get well soon.

TaNasha, glad you enjoyed your baby shower.

Esmari i hope you ds is feeling better.

Solo, lay off the cream buns! *Jokes*. Enjoy eating whilst you still have an excuse. Yay! on the ML. With your back problem i think it's a really good idea.

That's as far as i can see for me to add personals. I do hope everyone else is doing great.

Karienh, i bought the book and can you believe after downloading 198 mb it pops up a msg saying down load failed? So i'm trying it again. I hope i'll actually read it

AFM: I've started packing the bags, baba's seem to be more ready that mine. Thinking of packing a thrid bag to keep in the car. I really don't understand the list they gave me on that Netcare stock nest booklet. I'm not too clear on what they'll be providing and what they won't be providing. Don't know how many diapers to pack, towels etc! So 3 bags it is!
