Oktober & November 2011 Mammas

Morning

Skitter, Had to laugh at least you had a backup plan for incase This baby is really stubborn, so cant wait to meet her. Wonder if she is going to be blond like daddy or at least have dark hair like me for a while

Liz, die 18de is darm om die draai byt vas. Ongelukkig worry die mans nie, selfs my eie man

Chanz, glad M is doing so good. He is picking up weight very nice. No more babies for us I have almost my 2 girls so thats enough, with my luck nr 3 will also be a girl and I dont think DH will live through all of us. Haha jy moes my gister hoor, ek was wit warm in hierdie kantoor, die een ou wat vir ons werk kom plak sy goed op my tafel toe vreet ek hom uit van n kant af. Ek is nie sy PA nie maar sy baas

I stepped on a screw this morning and now my foot is killing me the thing went half way in Zelri told me that mamma must wear shoes and then I will get no eina

Lindy, how was the shopping?

Claire, how you and Colby doing?

Bulelwam you enjoying your ML?

Deja, is jy al amper klaar met eksamen?

Elrike, hoe ver trek E se kamer?

Thanks ladies for the kind words...really appreciate the support

So we went to see our midwife. Michael has literally sprouted in a week. When he was discharged he weighed 2.66kg and today he weighs 3kg. So in a week he gained almost 400g She says for a prem baby thats almost unheard of. So I just told her "Ja he keeps proving how much of a miracle he is". We sometimes think babies dont understand, but oh they do. So if you say they tiny, they just prove you otherwise
Then I breastfed Michael infront of her so that she could evaluate etc...He doesnt always latch 100% at first in the beginning but he gets it after a couple tries. the reason why he is still starving after I have fed him is because my let down reflex aint working. And apparently there is not much you can do about that. Apparently when you breastfeeding that let down reflex feels like tingling. I dont get any of that. I only had that feeling 3 days after Michael was born and never again. She says I must still carry on with top up feeds, she feels that even though my breastfeeding isnt satisfying him I must still carry on because he needs that closeness due to his prematurity. Ag so at least I can move forward and know I tried. But I will still keep giving boob before each bottle. Little is better than nothing.
But besides that she says I handle him very well coz she says most mommies that come in are nervous and their babies feel it. So i must be doing something right LOL

Sjoe I am not even pregnant and now I feel like condensemilk LOL

Man I miss being pregnant. So curious, when do you ladies plan on having another baby?

Bule I do think you are next to pop

Liz- jy is amper daar dan hou jy vir Paul in jou arms. Amazing gevoel ne

Lol Lizel jy laat my nou lag. Jy klink soos 'n regte rissiepit

Skitter LOL at your nappy episode. I wondered the other day what I would use if I ran out of nappies. And your fb status made me lekker lus for McD's. I love their chips. And their chicken burger deluxe is yum.

Anyway gotta change nappy and feed. have a great evening ladies

Hi Mammas!

Sjoe, ek mis baie uit met al die geselsery!

Chanz, yes, don't be too hard on yourself. Rather look at that perfect little bundle that your body has produced. Yes, you needed a little bit of help, but that just makes it more of a miracle. You have a story to tell, and you are such an inspiration to the rest of us!!!

Lizel, ja, kan jy glo hoe die tyd vlieg?? 29 slapies, dan is Paul met ons. Kan nie wag nie! Moenie bekommerd wees nie, ek glo baba sal nog in die regte posisie draai. Hulle het mos maar 'n wil van hul eie.

Skitter, hahaha, mooi koelkop gebly in daai doeksituasie! Ek kan net dink hoe mens stres as jy besef daar is nie meer 'n doek nie! Bly jy geniet die mannetjie. Stuur daar 'n pic, ag toe!

Elrike, nee man, daar maak jy my nou ook lus vir kondensmelk!!! Hehehe. Lekker! Ek weet wat ek vanaand in my trollie gaan sit in die winkel!!! Kan nie wag vir die foto's van Edrich se kamer nie, ek is seker dit gaan stunning wees! En sterkte met die alleen-blyery!

Bule, glad you're getting some rest! Not long to go now!!! A quick question.... you said you wash the nappies with Bloublommetjieskloof, do you add anything extra on top of that? I bought it as well and the nappies came out fine and the smell is not too overwhelming as I thought it would be.

Can't wait to go on ML! Hopefully the 18th will be my last day. Paul is getting really heavy now, and my tummy bump against everything. Today was the worst day ever so far, physically. Backache, joint aches, swollen hands, and a very sore hip. Ouch!!! But the men don't have any sympathy.

Wait, it's monthend, just thought I had to pop in for a change.

Lekker aandjie almal!!!

I am so PO right now I can scream DH was on my computer while I was typing and all is gone. So lets try again

Lindy, enjoy the shopping

Chanz, Let us know how M is growing. Dont be to hard on yourself you doing great

Bulelwam, if I must have a csec it's ok I made my peace, just want baby healthy. Glad you are enjoying your time off. Now the big wait begins. Dont know if I will be able to sit and wait for baby

Elrike, dis klaar n missie om met die 2 jariges winkels toe te gaan, en nou dat daar n maag ook is maak dinge net bietjie moeiliker Ek het Vrydag aand n blik karamel kondesmelk geeet, maar dit het nie lank ingebly nie, en die popconr ook nie. Dink die kombinasie het nie lekker gewerk nie.

Liz, Paul will be here in less then a month

Hi ladies

Chanz, my grandmother also said that to me when my LG was born....just smile and wave, sooner or later they will but out and realise no matter what they say you will raise him your way. You are really doing a great job, please dont get discouraged.....

Elrike, enjoy the shopping. mmmmmm karamel kondensmelk

Bule, enjoy the rest....sounds like you might be next How exciting!

Lindy, post some pics once you are done with the room

Lizel, sorry to hear she has not turned yet, another stubborn girl on the way

Hi to everyone else *waves*

AFU we are doing well, little man is really keeping me busy. As Im typing this he is feeding. Gosh feels like Im feeding him all day long most days. We almost had a very exciting day yesterday. I sent hubby to get him a nappy and only to find out there are no more nappies left,lol. Luckilly LG threw one under the bed and I used that to quickly go and buy nappies. I saw myself wrapping him in towels to go already

Ok, nappy change for us again, chat again soon ladies!

Hi you all!
Lizel, Sterkte vir jou, ek hoop baba draai in die regte posisie!

Lindy - wens jy was hier naby - ek wil ook gaan shop, want ek is verveeld by die huis, maar om alleen in die winkels te gaan rond dwaal met my ronde lyfie is seker nie so goeie idee nie!!! Kan nie wag om die baba kamer se goed te sien nie!

Ek sal die foto's post van Edrich se kamer, sodra hy gereed is.... Ek hoop dit sal Donderdag wees! Ek is nou eers vir 2 dae alleen, want my man het 'n Team Building strorie aan van die Universiteit... Gelukkig is hy nie land uit nie, maar hy slaap nie by die huis nie... Maar ek glo ek sal ok wees!

Chanz, die van die bakore, ek dink dink is net 'n oumens storie... Moenie down voel nie - jou liggaam het nou nie heeltemal gemaak soos jy wou nie, maar jou seuntjie is gebore en gesond! Daar is 'n rede met alles wat gebeur, daarom moet jy vrede daarmee maak - borsvoeding, hou aan probeer, ek glo jy sal dit regkry!! Geniet jou afspraak 12h00 ! Kom laat weet hoeveel Michael weeg!!

Ps: Ek het nou net 'n hele blikkie karamel kondensmelk opgeeet.......... Stoute ek...!

Mooi dag vir julle almal!!! Ek wil gou vir Luwan gaan skoentjies soek en slaap klere - wil nie he hy moet soos 'n weeskind lyk as ek in die hospitaal is nie!!! En 'n persentjie wat hy vir sy boetie kan gee...

Hi Ladies

Lindy am doing a lot of resting. The excitement though is getting to me and I have to keep it under control else I get sooooo impatient.
Its just a wait now.

Chanz, not sure about the taping of the ears......never heard of anyone doing that.
Am so sorry you feeling down Chanz, don't blame yourself for everything that has happened. When you feeling overwhelmed remember to breathe very deeply. You cant help things that happen to you but you can help your reaction to them.
Skerte Chanz, dit sal alright wees.....just as Liz's mom says....net as jy dink jy sal dood gaan, is dit al verby......it true for challanges in life as it is for labour.

I know how you must be feeling about the Maternity Leave Lizel. I couldn't wait either. Just take it one day at a time and before you know it, you will be off work.

Elrike.....chillies are my thing too....
I don't usually eat food too hot but I would put fresh green chillies in my samp and beans....well, I put them in almost all food LOL
I also have fallen in love with olives...... hated them before the pregnancy but now I can't get enough of them
Apparently, that's a sure way to know you're carrying a boy.

Lizel, goodluck with the move.
Hope the baby turns. Try and speak to baby and ask them to turn.
Whether c-section or natural, a healthy baby is best.

Am so envious of you guys organizing baby rooms.
There's no point for me, we're moving to live with my MIL in December so will be pointless for me to get busy with it.

Am trying to organize my son's birthday party but finances are so tight. Doing the best I can with the little I have. Will have to ask the Grans to help out, I really do want to throw him the party. Shame he never had a 1st birthday and his sister had a really big one.

Well, its just a waiting game for me now.
Been cramping and having BH a lot but nothing more.

Deja, Skitter, Liz....hoe gaan dit met jou
