August/September 2011 mommies to be

thank you for the encouragement and re-assurance, I will try to relax as much as I can.

OMW, Cameron is a big boy. 2kg already. Glad he is healthy and developing well.

Now its the final count-down ... soon babas will be here girls.

Anyone started to waddle yet, when walking?

Candi - so glad your in bed and doing better! Take it easy

Hapi - take a deep breath and relax. I know it can be VERY overwhelming (especially because it's our first babas!) But you'll be just fine hun, try not to stress too much and ask questions if you want I'm sure all of us can try give advise where we can!!

Just came back from our scan, Cameron is doing good and weighs 2kg at 30w4d. He's estimated birth weight at this point is going to be 4.2kg if he carries on picking up weight. I won't mention how big his mommy is

Heya Candi

Glad you are feeling better - that must have been a real scary Friday !!!!

Hello ladies!

BoB! So Glad you're doing good, and your baby is just the cutest baba ever.

Skai, Hapi, Laliek, Ankia, thank you for thinking of me!!!

Gosh, how scary was that! Friday I started developing cramps but it was ok, didn't need to pull out the bean bags yet. Saturday was as comfy, and I had three bean bags surrounding my stomach, and a hot bath seemed to subside the pain. Come Sunday, I couldn't pull myself out of bed, couldn't open my eyes, or lift my arms, I was absolutely "broken" i only got out of bed at 4ish, to attempt to eat, and then I couldn't stop throwing up, by 7ish I was in ER, my sister in law helped me, they admitted me to run test. Did a stress test and checked up on Zoey, she wasn't amused at all and refused to co-operate, and they struggled to find a heart beat, but every time they put the pads down, she kicked them off, [giggle]

Eventually got a steady heart beat, she was 100%, but when my gynea touch my tummy, I went thru the roof. from my belly line [panti line] right up to my chest it was soooo sensitive. He felt by my liver, I almost knocked him out.

So they gave me meds and put me to bed...

the next day went to extras to do an ultra sound, and about 5 people came to look at my gallbladder... [tears were flopsing by now] I've got sludge and gravel in my gallbladder [the start of gallstones] and my colon is inflamed. I even had my surgeon by my bed side, which was freaking me out... [but that's cause they thought my hernia repair was damaged]

So on a diet of anti carbs and fats, back to eating healthy and not using the excuse of "pregnancy craves".

So here I am, in bed, feet up, bean bags, and soup.

I couldn't log on with my phone, cause my computer was still logged in and I couldn't remember my passwords etc. {you go completely blank}

I did ask the sister there about the baby bag, and she freaked me out.... but i gotta run quick, i'll tell u now now what she said


xxxx hugs to all you ladies xxx i missed you all!!!!!!

Hi Girls

BOB !!!!! - Baby is gorgeous. Im so glad you are resting at home now.

Does Anybody know how Candi is doing ???

Ankies - helloooo!

Laliek - tell me about the back ache, I walk around with my bean bag and a couple of weeks ago a pregnant colleague showed me how I must bend to pick stuff up and that has also helped a bit.

Skai, I also need to buy pj's, saw nice ones at Ackermans. ranging between R119 - R199 a pair. Edgars has cute ones as well.

Girls, I have a tendancy of over-analysing everything and then working myself into a complete spin about it. Im really feeling overwhelmed about everything,the hospital bags, the babies clothes, their room, will I handle the c-sec well, what to buy, how to prepare for when im on leave blah blah blah.

Its all too much for me & now Im suffocating.

BoB - gorgeous little man! So glad you are back in your own bed! Hopefully your DD is doing better now too...

Luckily, I work for myself and have been taking it easy....only seeing a few clients a week. Find it takes me a little while to 'recover' after doing a massage so will probably just go till the end of this month and then stop completely.

Laliek - glad the hot water bottle helps a bit at least! Let me know where you end up finding Pj's....I also need to get some
Enjoy your scan! Let us know how C is doing...

Hi there ladies

Bob - your little boy is sooo cute. He'd better stay put now and I'm glad your at home!

Ankia and Skai - I can relate to you today!

I am absolutely knackered again today and I have no idea how I'm going to get through the next 5 weeks until I'm off work

I'm struggling still with back ache but at least it's manageable - I'm carrying my hot water bottle with me everywhere I go since last week's ordeal and it does help with the tension and strain a bit.

Other than that, I still need to go buy pyjamas sometime this week for my hospital bag - I'll still get there

We have our scan this afternoon at 13h45 again (our 30/31 week scan) and I'll let you girls know how everything is going. I'm looking forward to seeing Cameron again and how much he's grown!
