Oktober & November 2011 Mammas

Shame Elrike sorry jou man is so "hardegat" ek blameer jou glad nie ek sal ook n bietjie pannic ek meen volgende week is jy al 37 weke? nee a dis n bietjie erg. EK weet my man is nou land uit maar ek sal nie sommer erens gaan kuier wat te ver van die hospitaal af is nie.,

Skitter - Geluk!! Ek is seker jy is in die wolke oor die koms van jou baba seun!!!

Chanz - Thanks vir die update! Een van die dae is hy gesond en by die huis!!

Hier gaan dit aan...maar dis sowaar die laaste naweek alleen by die huis - ek kan nie meer Luwan alleen behartig nie. Ek is eintlik paniekerig wat ek is bang iets gebeur en wat doen ek dan. Klomp mense is op standby vir as ek dalk dringend moet hospitaal toe gaan, maar ek glo mens se man moet tog by die huis wees!! Ek glo nie ek gaan November haal nie! Die BH raak nogal erg met tye - voel of my maag wil afskeur van my lyf af.... Ek het vanmiddag saam 'n vriendin Papachinos toe gegaan, en sy kon die pyn in my oe sien... Dankie tog dat sy my kon help met Luwan, want hy was net onmoontlik! Toe slaap hy toe ek by die huis kom, dat ek bure gevra het om Luwan van die kar in die huis in kon bring...

NOu net met Leon gepraat en hy reken dit kan nie so erg wees nie - Hy reken Edrich gaan nog lank vat voor hy kom... Hoekom is mans so hardkoppig? Hy reken ek kan volgende naweek by sy ma'le op die plaas gaan kuier in Harties... 85km van Roodepoort af... Wat as iets gebeur daar en ek moet dringend hospitaal toe gaan?? (Daar is 'n baie slegte grondpad ook) Ag nee jitte, ek huil sommer...

Dink julle dalk ek jaag spoke op? Of sou julle ook bietjie paniekerig geraak het teen hierdie tyd?

Jammer oor my klaaglied, maar ek moet my vrees met iemand deel! Ek glo julle sal verstaan... Skies ook dat dit in Afrikaans is, maar as my hart seer is kan ek nie in Engels dink nie!!

Skitter - CONGRATS! He is gorgeous! Can't believe he's so punctual. On your due date! Wonder how often that happens! He really is beautiful. You were home so quickly. Did you tear badly?

Chanz - how are you expressing? Manual/electric pump or by hand? I know this might sound strange, but a friend of mines midwife recommended expressing by hand as you get more out and it feels more natural than a machine. Also, try having a baby blanket of Michael's nearby and a picture/video of him when you express. Sorry about the infection. Don't blame yourself though, he could have picked it up from anywhere. At least you know he is getting the best care possible. Sounds like he's thriving. This is a terrible and hard moment in your life that will be over before you know it.

Finally finished the baby nook. Just a few last finishing touches and then I'll be 100 percent happy with it. Will upload pics as soon as its completed! Have a good evening, ladies.

Skitterling, that is an awesome birth story and congratulations on the new baby.

Liam will definitely be a heart breaker he is adorable!!

Chanz, just keep expressing....the milk supply will get better once Michael is with you. Try not to stress, it'll only make things worse.
Will be praying for him to get better sooner.

Skitterling, congratulations on the birth of baby Liam... He is absolutely gorgeous!!!

Chanz, sorry to hear about Michael being sick, hope he is ok soon. He is in good hands at the hospital, but can understand how you are feeling. Have no idea on the milk though....sorry. Good luck

Thanks to all the other ladies for the words of encouragement and the sms's, was greatly appreciated
