August/September 2011 mommies to be

Hi everyone,

@Desiree - welcome to our group, I read your story with such amazement yesterday! Glad you joined us, I'm due 10 Sept and am also in CT. I'm a FTM - all very new and exciting for me.

@Ankia - enjoy your scan Monday, I'm also going for big scan on Monday, my 22w fetal anatomy, look forward to seeing our little one again!

AFM I've started to feel the faint flutters and movements, though no strong kicks as yet, but my obgyn said it might take some time due to my anterior placencta.

Otherwise, I'm doing well. I spent the easter break in Mosselbay in my mom's house, starting with the horrible process of packing up her clothes etc. I was dreading it, but in the end it wasn't too bad. I found things that made me laugh (letters my dad had written to my mom prior to their marriage & lots of pictures!) and things that made me not just cry, but bawl!! But, all in all, I think it was a necessary part of the grieving process and I do feel like I'm coping better every day.

Will reportback on the scan on Tuesday, as my appointment is only late on Monday afternoon. Oh, and also on my first preggie aqua aerobics class that will also be on Monday

Have a great weekend!

Hi girls...

I'd love to join your group....I'm a Moomie regular since my first baby, Connor, was born in March 2010 (yip he's still small).

Anyway.... I am due on 12 Sep - I'm about 22 weeks along - thing is, I've only just found out that I'm preggies again...and I found out when I felt the baby kick for the first time on Sunday evening....

I posted my story here (if you're interested in a read):

Looking forward to chatting.

Are you all first time mommies ? or are there some experienced ladies here also? I need lots of advice, lol, now that I'm about to be a mommy of 2 very small kiddies

Hi Ankies - yipppeeee for the soft kicks

I actually did taste some soil Skai I was so frustrated with the craving the other day that I was busy complaining to one of my colleagues and they brought me some yesterday. soooo devine she actually bought it somewhere close to where she lives and apparently its made for eating. its reddish in colour in a chalk-like format (though, softer than chalk) it just melts in your mouth like chocolate. it seems to be refined and cleaned for eating.

I know, I know - its not good for me esp as it can cause anaemia. It was just liberating to indulge the craving.

Yay for the soft kicks ankia! I was quite surprised at how quickly they went from soft to pretty strong. Such a nice feeling...enjoy!

Candi - that is so great! Fantastic you have such a supportive husband - really is important!

So Hapi - confess - have you given in to your craving an tasted some soil?

(Wave) to everyone else.

Good Morning

Candi - congrats girl, I am so excited for you

I know that I have been MIA yesterday, but it was hectict at work.
Going for scan first thing Monday morning, can not wait

I started felling soft kicks, and it is fantastic

Have a great day

Hi Girls

@ Skai -
So cool about seeing your tummy move, I've also experienced it and the other day DH said he saw what looks like a foot imprint while I was sleeping. I dont belive him though

Candi - I wish I had your courage, you'll do great going what you love. All that best in that endeavour

Rest of the girls - hellooo

I'M FREE!

My gorgeous DH told me to stay at home and look after my bump. The stress at the office was getting too much. And with all the bleeding and pain, he was getting really worried, especially with him working away, he wants me to do what the doctor said from the beginning at put my feet up.

But now i'm going to follow my dream and take photos

I can't believe I'm actually going to be my own boss
