Oktober & November 2011 Mammas

Hello everyone!

I have zero energy, so I keep popping in meaning to post and then don't!

Chanz - Michael is so gorgeous! No wonder you want another one soon! I also think that if you are going to be on bedrest again, the sooner the better. 2 year olds are impossible to keep up with.

Deja - good to hear you lost weight so quickly! I hope its the same for me! You must be exhausted though! I am a bit scared! How do you pronounce your sons name? Is it like lion with an "s"? Never heard of it before...loving how original it is.

Elrike - you are a brave lady! Going out so soon! Must have been awesome to show off your little guy! Hope Luwan settles soon. I remember hearing that bringing home a baby to your toddler is like your husband bringing home a new wife and wondering why you aren't happy about it. Im sure he'll realise he's still your baby soon.

Lizel - I would say go for natural and just be open to an emergency c-sec. The chances of rupture are so small and I know of so many who have done VBAC with no issues. Just be willing to listen to whatever your dr says. I think you'll be more disappointed if you don;t try and always wonder how it could have been different.

Has anyone heard from Bule?

I had an appointment on Tuesday. Baby weighs 3.6 and is down but not enough. He tried to do a stretch and sweep but my cervix was too high. Seems like my babies like mommy's tummy way too much. So back to all my tricks to try to get baby to drop. Jumping jacks??? Seeing him again on Weds. Hopefully by then baba has dropped a bit more, the he can do a sweep. Otherwise I will ask him to induce on 29/30 Nov. I don't want to wait til dec!

This heat is killing me ladies! I don't deal well with the heat usually! My feet are so swollen that I now call them Cinderella's ugly step-sister's feet!

Hi everyone

Lizel, ek dink sussie gaan jou binnekort kom verras

Chanz, Michael is gorg, glad to hear he is picking up weight so nicely. Yay for trying again! Wish we could too....

Tanz, stretch and sweep isnt that sore, hope it helps

Elrike, bly dit gaan goed, hoop Luwan is gou weer sy ou self

Deja, ek vergeet ook alewig om te eet

Lindy, kom laat weet ons wat die dokter se

Thought I'd add some new pics of Michael. He really is growing well.
O forgot to add. I took Michael to the storks nest yesterday for his weights etc. He now weighs 3.95kg Really growing well. His head is larger than normal, but the midwife said she would monitor it closely in the next month. And if it keeps growing then it might be fluid on the brain. Apparently a small procedure to put a shunt in helps drain it. I doubt its anything serious though

Hello Ladies

How is everyone?

Tanz- I hope the stretch and sweep works for you. I have heard it helps. Its exciting that soon you will be holding your bundle

Lizel- ek hoop ook jy begin op jou eie kraam. dis moelik om so besluite te maak maar onthou net- wat ook al gebeur moet gebeur.

Lindy- I also have a feeling you will have your baby earlier. But hope she stays put till she is ready to come.

Elrike- Edrich klink baie soet. Ek glo dit sal net tyd vat met Luwan. Ek dink seuntjies is altyd anderste as meisies. Seuns is mos gewoonlik "mommies boys". Ek dink teen kersfees sal Luwan "gesettle" wees

Went for my 6 week check up today. Went very well. Gynae is happy with the healing etc. Although he said my cervix hasnt closed properly which means with the next pregnancy I will have to get a stitch put in at 12 weeks. Which I had a feeling was going to happen. But i am seeing our FS in January, will get a second opinion and get my PCOS checked again aswell.
Then we asked when we can start trying again. LOL hubby was happy to hear 3months I was shocked, thought the gynae would say a year. But again I will check with our FS in Jan. If all goes according to plan then in June next year we will start trying People think we crazy. But even after all the drama with Michael I would do it again Hubby is turning 40 in June hence why we can't wait to long to have more kids. I might be a spring chicken but his spring is getting old LOL I just hope we wont struggle again with nr 2.

Hope you all have a fab day

Elrike, klink of E n engel is. Bly jou sny lyk goed. Hoop jy word sommer gou 100. Dankie dink dr moet besluit lol

Lindy, krampe weg, ag nee. Maar dalk goed wil twilight kyk die naweek

Ahg Lizel ek hoop ook rerig jy gaan in kraam in voor dit asb hou ons op hoogte!!! en yay ek hoop daai krampe is n goeie teken
