August/September 2011 mommies to be

Hi there ladies!

Bob - welcome back! Your much better than I am at the exam thing...I totally messed up. And actually I really can't be bothered at this point. With work and everything happening in between - I take my hat off to woman who's heavily pregnant, can still work at full speed and study I'll have to write the two I have left in Oct/Nov while I'm on maternity leave - but at least Cameron will be about three months old already so I should be ok

Hapi - how did your scan go?

Ankia - how are you doing this morning - hope the nausea is gone now!

Candibez - saw your scan pics on FB - gorgeous!

Skai, Tracey, Gabi and rest of the ladies? It's been very quiet here!

AFM: Took Panado medisip on Tuesday night and it actually helped. Also started sleeping with the humidifier on during the night so it helps with the clogged nose!! So I am feeling alot better and glad I didn't fall into the getting sick trap - touch wood!! However I am completely nackered! I actually told my boss that after we're done with this deadline audit next week I think I need to lighten my workload and luckily he agreed. I'm really finding it diffuicult to keep up and I think the further along I get the more I'm going to struggle. So I'm happy that at least the last 7 weeks at work for me will be a bit easier.

BoB - My next scan is on 07 June then I'll be nearing 31 weeks - it's scary!!! Then from there it's every 2 weeks - ie that means after 7 JUne there's 3 scans left and then my little man arrives!!!!

A very Cold Good Morning Ladies

Ive missed u guys, been writing exams and today was supposed to be my last one but i just couldnt make it,the work was going thru my head like a sieve.

Hey Ankies , so glad to hear that all is going well with you, trust me u gotta 2 week wait for that Hypno book , it took that long but its so worth the wait and it comes with a free relaxation cd....now that im thinking about it i should have used it while i was studying to calm me down..lol

Helllo Hapi.. shew the time is flying by for us all hey, now that you are going for a check up every 2 weeks, arnt u a bit scared, excited and all those other emotions?

Candi ..how did your 4d scan go? did ur princess allow u to see her little cutey pie face?

Lailek ... i seem to pop out as soon as i eat something and then my tummy goes really hard and my little mister really hates it when i lie on my left side...lol dont no y..Please stay out of the rain it will only make ur itch throat worse...hope u feeling betta

Skai -- u must be enjoying the nice bit of cold weather we are having now.. i cant wait for it to start snowing ...lol we wont get any in Durbs but i want to take DD to Underberg just to frolickin the snow as she has never seen it before.

Afm: went to book my hosp last week and freaked out when i saw the labour ward with all the machines and contraptions there... i was really scared at that time and it all just became so much more real to me...not like the belly isnt real enough...lol

Ok i have been getting cals and messages all day from my aunts and cousins not to handle a knife or scissors today because apparently its an eclipse ...its an indian old wives tale that if a pregnant woman gets cut with a knife or scissors the baby will get a cleff on the ear or some mumbo jumbo ...now dont shoot the messenger ...im just saying thats what ive been told......lol

im going for my dr app on Sat and then i will book my 4d scan cos they said i need to be between 27 - 34 weeks , that comes with my hosp booking.

Soo hope u beautiful ladies have a smashing weekend, Love to all

Good Morning

Laliek, I hope you feel better today, not nice not feeling well.
I am also tired, but I do try to get to gym atleast twice a week and do some yoga on Wednesday.

Candi I hope you could sleep after your long post. The preggy hormones are the worst. Do not worry about your bag, make a day of it and go and get all the things you need

Hapi, can not wait to see some pics of the twins

I bought the hypnobirthing book from kalahari, I am waiting for it to arrive in the post. Can not wait to start reading it.

So it has been two mornings this week that I had to speak to the big whote telephone, but this morning I was going to run, but then I realised it is my spray, the fumes or something makes me want to run. So this morning I sprayed and I went to another room, and I was much better.

Otherwise I am doing fine. Slept like a log last night, and this morning at 7, I did not want to get up in the cold

Have a great day

Heya Ladies

Yip, Skai was right I also seem to pop out every night.

Laliek- hope you feel better soon. I also dont feel like doing much work and to be fair to my boss, she has really reduced my work load, not giving me any new big projects anymore. But a simple thing like having to read through a contract is so exhausting. I was thinking to myself that maybe I should go on mat leave earlier than planned, but no, whats 9 more weeks right Glad to hear that Cameron is growing so nicely and that you got lovely piccies. Thanx for the well wish and try not to work yourself too hard.

Candi - hope you managed to get some sleep.

Hello Almost Midnight Ladies

Guess who can't sleep.... [even with sleeping tablets in my system]

@Laliek, Yeah, my "ex" gynea was a _______ [PG21] and that wasn't the only thing he said to me that was upsetting... Hope you feel better soon, all I can suggest is Vitamin C and loads of it.

We going for another 4D tomorrow, cause at our last one, little Miss didn't want us to see her either, her hands were always in the way of her face. Super camera shy if you ask me, waha, just my luck... but I really want DH to see her before he goes... he'll be gone for about 2 months and be home about 2 weeks before my due date! CUTTING IT CLOSE

@Ankia, gosh, the mommy/baby bag thing was on my mind the whole of yesterday, that I started nesting last night, repacked my entire cupboard at 10pm looking for stuff to put into the "mommy bag" I've got one of these "pregnancy books" that have a similar list to what you put up, and i gave up, and the only thing in the bag now is that book..... [DH walks in and then exits very quickly leaving me and my hormones to sort out ourselves]

Skai, I will definitely put photos up, but I think i'll put them on FB [but most likely limit it to ladies on this group] I haven't even blurted out her name on there yet... but hubby has.... so i might spill the beans soon.....

SOooooooo.... as usual.... I need to do my venting... Bladder infections sux! Had one now for 2 weeks.... yip 2 weeks.... When I went to my Gynea last week Monday, he said ag, i'm just being silly, saw my physician the Tuesday to check out my health [lungs asthma etc] and he was shocked the the Gynea didn't pick up that I had a major infection so he referred me to the other doc that I saw on Wednesday, and he actually has a personality and understands me! {WHOOPPEEE!!!} so that's where I am at.... the "URGH" thing is, My NEW Gynea has 2 standby Gynea's if he's away, and one of them is my EX Gynea, you can imagine my happiness..... oh well.... Such as life, so long as my little girl is looked after that's all that counts!

Ok, DH is wondering why i'm still awake, so i'm going to try and go catch some ZZZ's....

Have an awesome sleep ladies ~ Chat again soon

Hi there ladies!

Sorry I haven't been able to post yet, been a hectic start to the week again

Been busy at a client and can't go onto the internet there, only appear to be able to access Facebook on my BB!

Hapi - I'm so looking forward to hearing how your 4D scan goes on Thursday - it's such an excellent feeling seeing that little person inside you

Skai - wow your little boy is also going to be a little big man! So glad he's doing well!

Candi - how rude of your gynae!! Makes you feel like your just an income for them, I don't think some gynaes are even human

Ankies - wow it's nice being spoilt!! Happy for you!

AFM: Been feeling ill today, throat scratchy and ears are sore. I really really don't want to get sick now as I have an audit to finish by next week Friday!! My last deadline audit I HAVE to get done for the year - luckily remaining audits have no deadlines! Urg, just so tired of work at this point. Is it just me or do you girls also feel like you can't do as much anymore? I feel exhausted by end of the day and I've been working a bit of overtime again but I'm seriously struggling to keep up!

Anycase - my 4D scan was amazing! We struggled for a while to get Cameron to move his hands away from his face lol - but eventually it moved and we got some amazing pics! I still can't seem to post pics on moomie but if you girls are on Facebook I've loaded them on there! If you want to invite me I'm Lilanie Kruger - just type a message of who you are on moomie so I at least know who's who

Oh, and last week Tuesday our little boy weighed 1.4kg, now on Saturday when we had our 4D he was on 1.533kg!! Meaning 133g in 4 days?? We were quite surprised actually.

Oh and Skai - I seem to pop out overnight! I have also noticed these past two days that I'm starting to retain water. I look like the Michelin Man Not feeling very pretty at this point but still sooo greatful for this perfect little gift that will be in my arms in 9 weeks!!

I'll try pop in again on Thursday to see how Hapi's scan went! Good luck Hapi!

yip Skai, it will really be interesting to see if they will be like that once born... you've just made me more anxious to meet them

wow, head down already ! he must just stay that way as I know you want to birth him naturally

Later !
