August/September 2011 mommies to be

Good Moring

Skai - I am glad you like the carriwell bra - they are so expensive
I tried to get bra's at woolies the other day, they did not have my size, so I will have to go to another Woolies and see if I can get some
I also need to buy a present for William from his sister, so that he does not feel left out!! He is doing so well with sleeping out and visiting other people. He is growing up to fast now. He will be 3 in just over 2 weeks.

Have a great day

Aw Candi - sounds like an amazing day! Who could ask for more...
And Monday is just aorund the corner! Woohoo! Exciting!

Ankia - hopefully she'll be as chilled on the outside as she is on the inside

TaNasha - so glad Esme is feeding well! From what I hear, it should get quicker as they learn how to suck more effectively etc. I'm sure it'll be no different with your LO. And let us know how the scar looks!

Afm - didn't have an internal today but everything is fine. He's still lying posterior (well, his back is along my right side but more towards the back than the front) so need to spend time leaning forward and lying on my left side. Not going to stress about it though...my placenta is anterior and more on the left side so I think that's why he's not lying there...not enough room

Oh, and just out of interest - the other day I bought a carriwell bra - man it is comfy! Definitely seems worth the money. Have packed it in my hospital bag. Will get more bra's after LO arrives...wanna wait and see how big I get etc...

Have a great day everyone!

Good Morning

Wow - candi it all sound so nice. Now Z can come and make her apperiance
Good luck for Monday - will be thinking of you, we need up to the minute info from you!!! - hehe

Skai - yes I am having a surprice babyshower, but there is only so many weekends left to do it. My mom and sister is arranging it - I think!!!

So this weekend is boat show weekend and 5 weeks left of working

I am doing fine, just a tad bit worried about this little girl, I really have to push her hard to move, but I am sure the space is getting less, so that is why she does not move so much any more. I do get a reaction out of her, so that is always a good thing.

Have a great day

HELLLOOOOO LADIES!!!!

Well ok, so i'm still smiling I'm am a kept woman once again...

Ok, picture the scene....

Everyone is arriving at 6:30, the witnesses [my best friend aka sister in law & my brother in law][their kids][and the marriage official]... hubby is trying to set the table full of snack and cakes for the "after party"... this all is taking place at home... in our little village of lllluuvvv lol....

I hear the marriage official arrive.... and climb into my "wedding outfit" I found a gorgeous white top at donna clair that fits tummy sooo nicely, and a gorgeous white jacket from truworths, and my cream pants from cherry melon..... looking at the mirror, putting in my little white flower to keep my hair back... and still amazed that this event is actually happening.... rubbing my tummy talking to Zoey telling her just hang on for another 30 minutes or so, and when i give daddy a kiss then she's ready to enter the world....

So there I go, walk down the passage, and my best friend and niece burst into tears, i gave the marriage official one big hug [he was my marriage councilor and a good friend...

right... so we begin....
I can't remember half of what he said, I just kept looking at my man...
and the next minute he asked for the rings.
and my niece is all her tears walks over to give us the rings....
and then out the blue, our MC says "say something as you put the rings on"
WHAT!!! I didn't prepare vows?!?

So, my dear hubby, all of a sudden started telling me how much he loved me, and how this is the way life is....
and then it was my turn, I could hardly speak through the tears... but I said my vows to him, and pledged my love to him forever...

Ta Da!

dried up the tears, and we had our "kiss" and we were Mr & Mrs once again...

Then the after party... friends came over, we told them what we just did and had a little party...

Soooooo I'm supposed to be induced tonight, but that's not happening, doc said no go, must wait till next week rather.... so Monday is monday, I see my physician at 9am, to check out my lungs and diabetes, and then we dash up to my Gynea, and make sure she's 100%, not allowed to eat after 8pm the night before, cause if all is ok, then I go to the ward there and then, and I've opted for a c-sec. Timing is a bit factor... DH leaves in 7 weeks, and I want him to spend as much time with her as possible. I'm going to try the breast feeding, but gonna try express so that he can feed her too... the next time he sees her is at about 3-4 months

But TALK ABOUT EINA!

I don't know how people can walk like this for another 2-3-4 weeks....
I am soooo sore... and had some type of contraction today at the shop, where I had to stand still and just wait while my stomach was being doing tummy crunches by itself, and the leakage is also something... DH calls me the human snail [ ] i know, but it's insane...

Wish she could come now.... shame, it sounds hectic too, my grandma is very ill, and she doesn't recognise anyone anymore and is in frail care, and all she asks for to the sisters is photos of baby zoey, where are her photos, brings tears to my eyes, cause i know my gran is keeping her promise to be here for her birth... gosh... ai...

Ok, emotional note, i'm going to get going... hopefully get some form of sleep tonight... I've got my maternity shoot in the morning with hubby.... yyyeeeeaaahhh...

chat again soon to you all.

have a lekker night

An.k.ia - why the name change?
Skai, i'm smiling from ear to ear
TaNasha, LK, BoB - How's the mommy club??
Ankia, Naz, Sunette, Tracey - How are you ladies??

Sorry if I've forgotten a name or two?

Ok, gotta dash, super sore.

Hi ladies,

hope you are all ok!

Me and esme are doing well, she is drinking really well even though it takes awhile. She is back to her birthweight so I am a happy mommy!

My stitches are finally out, so I can sit like a normal person again! I have not seen what it looks like down there, so I think I might try to have a look with a mirror tonight, eeeeek!

Hi everyone!

Sorry I've been so scarce...have been reading but just too lazy too type

Laliek - I hope you feel better soon! It's completely normal and I'm glad your DH is looking after you so nicely! Brownie points for him!

Ankia - I'm sure you'll get ALL the clothes you need at your baby shower! Who is organizing it for you? I take it it'll be a surprise?

Candi - newly married lady! How goes it? I am sure you are positively glowing with happiness

Other new mommies - I am sure you are all super busy with your LO's - hope it is all going well! Drop us a line when you can...

Afm, I braved the Baba Indaba with my mom on Saturday. Wow, it was busy! And the prams certainly didn't help! Was amazed to see people using the twin prams there too....very brave! But we had fun and spent ages there. Got one or 2 things I'd been meaning to still buy.

Today I went and had my hair cut so now I am officially ready for this little guy to make his appearance when he decides to...ha ha... Seeing my midwife tomorrow - hoping she'll do an internal so I can just know if things are starting to happen Will let you all know how it goes...if there's anything to tell.

Xx

Laliek - you must keep still and enjoy being spoiled by hubby
We still need some clothes for Anrika
0 - 3 months - winter, but not thick - long sleeve baby grows
3 - 6 months - summer clothes
I have the big things, like bottles, blankets
We do not have any hooded towels

I know that doc moved Candi's appointment to the 15th, he said baby was still too small for being induced

Have a great relaxing day
