Oktober & November 2011 Mammas

Hey ladies -

does any of you battle with head aches? and back pain?
and i know the only pain killers that we can take is smartie panados! i think i am immune to that now!
i am lucky that i dont have any ms, but boy, the head aches are killing me!

Chanz, What does your profile pic look like on FB. I dont want to invite the wrong one.

Never mind found you

Chanz, Welcome back and congrats again on the wedding Will add you to FB now now cant wait to see pics

Your bridal shower/baby shower sounds cute

Glad the 12week scan went well. The scans get more amazing every time you go

The Graco ultima and ultima Plus fold the same as the Deluxe. it is super easy and can folds with one hand. That is the main reason we bought it.

I hope you start to feel beta soon and you have a happy pregnancy.

Helllllooooooo Ladies

Sjoe its been a loooong time hey
Well I am married now and we just got back from our 2 week honeymoon today. Its been so lovely to have a break but so good to be back home.

For those that wanted pics, LOL too many to load on here. But my family have loaded some pics on FB. So you are welcome to invite my under Chantelle Myburgh. The professional photos will be posted when they done.

I am so glad to see some scan pics and read all the updates of everyone. Everyone's babies are growing.

Well on 6th May while we were on honeymoon we went for our 12 week scan. Wow we were so amazed at how bubs has grown since our 8 week scan. Got to see arms and legs this time. And bubs just would not sit still, kept jumping up and down. Bubs is now just over 5cm, so cute.

I can't wait to start decorating the baby room. Shame with my bridal shower, my sister added a part one baby shower so I have some baby stuff to start off with. And she got me these lovely neutral curtains. So I really can't wait but the room has some cracks to be fixed and carpets need to be washed.

About the bottles, my sister had her baby in November. And she has been using Avent from the word go and no colic problems either. She also read about MAM when it came out and tried one bottle, and I tell you shame her baby really battled with winds. So my advice go for Avent. Even if a bottle doesnt look all that babish, at the end of the day your babies comfort is all that matters. Breast pumps- I have a mini electric medella, i got it 2 years ago when i thought ttc would be quick for us but anyway my sister tried mine and she said it workd well. But I agree its something you buy after the birth. As much as we all want to BF, its not always possible.

@ Joey, with the Graco Ultima- the handle that twists to fold- is it possible to use one hand or is it a two piece handle? Sorry why I ask is because my hubby can only use his left hand and we love the Graco Deluxe but was wondering if the Ultima folds easily aswell? We tryna decide between those two.
We were advised against the peg perego since its not easy to use for someone with only one working hand like my hubby.

Went to fetch my goodie bag from Vitality today. LOL I felt like a kid. Got some nice goodies.

So how is everyone feeling? I thought my 2nd trimester will be easier but I was wrong. I cant eat much meat now and cant stand handling it raw either. I feel like such a fussy eater. But I just cant help it. Small things make me wanna hurl. Hope it gets easier. But I appreciate every preg symptom. Its a special time

Hope you all have a great evening

The Tommie Tippee looks really cute, stunning design, the Dr Brown's looks so boring, not baby-like at all.

I think of getting the Medela breast pump, the electric one. But I think I'll buy that after the birth, don't know if I'll be able to breastfeed, we'll see. I'll send DH to the shops, hehehe.

Save the money Liz. You will want to buy lots there.

I'm thinking of using Tommie tippee bottle.

My Question now what breast pump are you getting i have no idea what to get.

Good morning!!

Wow, Joey, that's great! Now I can't wait for the expo. I'll save some money so long...

Quick question, have you ladies decided which bottles you're going to buy? I was thinking about Dr Browns, but then saw ads of the MAM bottles in baby magazines. The anti-colic bottles is on special at BabyBoom for R99 (for 3) which is really cheap. Do you have any previous experience on the Mam bottles?
