Skitter, sterkte! Amper tyd! Ek kan nie glo die tyd het so gevlieg nie! Net nou die dag nog het ons almal gekla oor morning sickeness......

Claire, that's very nice of your friends to give you money rather than presents! I think that is very thougthful. Now you can buy the things you still need.

Hi Lindy and Bulelwa and all the others!

I had my stork tea last week Saturday, it was a big surprise. I got the cutest presents. I don't have space in the cupboard for everything!!! My nesting instinct is starting to kick in, I'm so furious with DH for not wanting to help me to get everything ready. The cot still needs to be re-done, everyday he just says "tomorrow". My dad said he will buy us the compactum, but he hasn't found anything yet. Grrrrrrrrrr! Time is running out! I want a babyroom before baby comes.

Hope you all have a wonderful (hot, summery) day!!!

Chanz, he is perfect

Bulelwam, thank you, are you also trying VBAC?

Joey, I was in labour for a really long time after being induced but my dr gave me a epidural when I was 4cm dilated, I stoped to dilate after that. I know of woman who had inductions with no complications but with me it did not work. Remember what must happen will happen. Thinking of you

Skitter, toemaar ek wil ook regtig graag trek is nou moeg. Sjoe ek hoop maar mnrtjie kom gou. Ek kan nie wag om weer wyn te kan drink nie ek soek net n glasie

Hi everyone

Chanz, he is so perfect, wont say he was born so early

Joey, all the best with the rest of the week, amazing to think that you will be a mommy by the weekend Cant wait to hear if it is pink or blue.....btw, congrats on holding out 40weeks without knowing the gender. I would not have been able to do it

Bulelwam...I would kill for a glass of wine now

Lizel, sterkte met skoonma, sy moet maar nou net eenmaal begin verstaan jou familie kom eerste. Hoop jul kry gou klaar met die huis en dat die trekkery vlot sal verloop

Lindy, a dark washcloth to wipe baby's bum is also good to have as they dont like the cold wetwipes much And take a lot of underwear if you are prone to bleeding a lot, and some bags to throw in dirty clothes. Dont forget the camera!!!

Claire enjoy the shopping, please post the list

Deja sorry to hear about your loss xxx

AFU we are doing ok.....baby is making no attempt to get out at all, the cramps and niggles driving me insane, Im so scared he will be too big for natural...as the doc said he weighs about 3.7now. All our kids were below 3kg so this is going to be a huge baby in my opinion

Hubby is at work today and a guy working with him is also checking his phone every 5min as his wife is also due the same day as me.

Im so over being pregnant now, spring cleaned the house, cleaning my but off every day just to keep my mind busy...not working anymore though. This last few days and uncertainty is driving me insane. Remembered this morning when I was induced with my LG, about an hour after the process started I just wanted to go home and wait it out and now it is the last thing I want to do

Anyhow, have a lovely day fairies

Chanz Michael is so cute. I hope he comes home soon if here he is not home already.

Hope everyone else is still happily pregnant.
I am at 40 weeks 3days.
Spoke to the doctor this morning and he will induce on friday if there is no sign of baby before that. I'm really hoping baby makes its own way in to the world. I really do not want to be induced. I have hear it is alot more painfull and it can lead to C sec.
So by the weekend I will be a mommy.

So how else is going to pop before me???

Oh tog, Michael is really so precious.
Good news everything going well Chanz.
Please post pics of first day at home....

Lizel, all the best with the VBAC girl.

Well, I've hit 36 weeks and just realized I got a lot of things to do to prepare for the arrival of the little one.
So will be kept busy till he/she arrives....good thing coz this wait is driving me to drink...LOL

How is everyone today?

Ai Lizel. Skoonma's kan partykeer moelik wees. Ek se net altyd "take it with a pinch of salt". Maar ja as dit kom by geld leen, hou ek ook nie daarvan nie.

Lindy - you asked about the hospital bag and baby bag. Um with the baby bag, go according to the list your hospital gives. If I remember correctly it was, vaseline, surgical spirits, shampoo/body wash (use the johnsons top to toe coz its 2 in 1), cotton wool (balls are handy when using one hand), baby cream or aqeous cream, bum cream, baby oil, take 2-4 outfits (your hubby can always take the dirty ones home and bring clean ones), and one pack of nappies. With your bag- you are supposed to have a maternity bag and a labor bag. With the maternity bag- this is for the maternity ward for yourself after giving birth- your normal toiletries, 2 sets of pjs, carriwell pads (this depends on your flow but whether you have a natural or csec you will use them for the first day), breast pads in case. Thats what I can remember. O and your own towel (preferrably a dark colored one). With the labor bag- LOL I can't comment here because mine wasnt ready. But even if it was, I wouldnt have used anything LOL. But I was planning on packing tennis balls(so hubby could massage my back), water bottle (you get really thirsty), bean bag (for pain), energy juice and sweets to suck on and load music on my cellphone to relax. But my labor went really quick so didnt have time for a labor bag or its contents Hope this helps a little.

Have a great day ladies

Goodmorning Ladies

Just thought I'd pop in and share some pics
