August/September 2011 mommies to be

Hi Ladies, gosh [sob][thick lips][sitting in the corner]

I'm here I'm here, I read all your mails ladies, I just haven't had time to sit down, eat [if only I could] and be here like I was... Things are just hectic

I am so besides myself at the moment. I've got 3 shoots this weekend, and work is just not cool anymore. I can't walk sometimes to the bathroom, major cramps, and pulling and paining, ai ai ai...

Ankia, hope you feel fresh as daisies soon... bye bye nausea for you hopefully

Hapi, You're so lucky you're showing, everyone knows i'm not a small built person, and the bums that I work with are like, I'm i've got to go on a diet... [evil hay?]

Skai!!!! I can soooo relate to your... with the 18 week evening feeling... and CONGRATS on the news a lil Boy Ahhhh!!!

I really hope they see something [tee hee] I go on Monday for the blood tests and I'll be just just 14 weeks whoop whoop

I'm still on folic acid, trying the centrum materna [but makes me narh ]

I dunno if I told you all, [signs of memory loss happening]

Was at doc, and my placenta is sitting super low, and i've got a ninja developing and kicking me like it's payback... that's one reason for the bleeding but it's still freaking and scary when it happens... and it still is [the moments of blood pools and clots]

Doc had a check and said all the is fine for baby... so that's a fab thing. I'm slowing calming down with the whole stressing myself out thing. [I've become pro][got a noddy badge on sunday]

Ok, so I've completely lost track as well [see told you memory loss]
Who all is in Jozi and who all is in CT and where is everyone else?

LOL

Ok, and so far it's only Skai that know's she's having a boy...

QUESTION: Are any of you ladies sharing your chosen names with people? Last time I mentioned what I would like to name my future child, my friend swiped it up before I could say boo or baa.... oh oh oh and nursery idea/planning... when are you? or have you already started the nursery??? Gosh, DH is begging me to buy paint, but I still don't know what Ninja is yet?

Anywhoo..... That's me for now.... nothing like a nice break from work LOL.... xxx hugs to all you lovely ladies

Good morning

Skai, I am glad I could assist with the nappies
Hallo Laliek and hapi
Laliek ek mis jou!!! - hehe (moenie so hard werk nie)

I am doing great, actually having a great morning. My nose is still blocked, but I am feeling better. The nausau is also fading and I hope I do not talk to soon.

I will also be making my own pants, I have lots of tops. When I lost weight I threw away all my big clothes, I just decided that I will not keep them, and a few weeks later I was pregnant - hehe
But I will only be making 2 or 3 jeans, because I can come to work in Casual clothes, so the jeans are fine for the winter.

Have a great day!!

Hapi - my tummy is definitely 'bigger'...although right now it just looks more like I've been tucking into the chips too much as opposed to being preggies It's also flatter in the morning and by evening time I can sometimes look 18 weeks pregnant! ha ha... Probably gas etc.

Laliek - I also get those 'pains'....more a discomfort really. I quite enjoy them as I know it's the uterus growing

And with regards to maternity wear....I have started learning to sew from my mom. She's a really good seamstress and it's been lots of fun so far. So far I've made a pair of black pants which I am already loving...and am busy finishing of a shirt. Not sure how the shirt will fit as it looks pretty ridiculous now seeing as I don;'t have the tummy for it

Ankia - thanks for the email! The pattern is almost exactly the same as the one's my mom has been making but nice to see the different material she uses etc. So far I've got enough in the newborn size - we used muslin for those. And will start experimenting with thicker material and different patterns for the bigger nappies. Plan on then using the newborn muslin nappies as soakers/boosters so they won't go to waste Hope you are feeling a bit better today by the way!

Candi - where are you?

Black Diamond - also been a while.....you must be busy at work!

Pat, Naz and everyone else...hellooooo

Hapi yes they are!! And most of the maternity wear are really ugly as well. And if you think about it you only wear them for 4 or 5 months so it is actually money you could have spent on baba!

Laliek, you are so lucky your mom is good at sewing.I have been looking around and geez maternity wear is expensive.

Claire!! And I can't believe your 30 weeks already

Luckily it's not in my bones, I drink my chela-preg and calcium and magnesium and I also drink 1 zinc tablet daily just to help with skin etc. This is more directly pain in the uterus (you know like when you have painful AF?) Feels like that but it comes and goes and it's only there once in a while!

Yes time flies!!! We're confirming on 28 February - hopefully little miss or mister decides to flash us


How's your baby room coming along?

Sorry to butt in fellow preggy fairies

Lalie - hun if your cramps are in the bone or almmost muscular - please get a calcium and magnesium (combined like slowmag) supplement and you will notice a difference in 3 days I cannot believe that you are 15 weeks - woo hoo! when you confirming gender?
