Oktober & November 2011 Mammas

Hi to you too Lindy and thanks on the bump compliment, thought you and Tanz would get a kick out of reading this one
wikiparenting.parentsconnect.com/wiki/Dreams_during_Pregnancy

Oh Lindy, its my dream to be SAHMommy hope you can have that awesome opportunity.
I too love Chloe from the list of names. I have always loved Michaela.....dont know if you remember Dr Quinn, medicine woman but that's where I heard the name from.
I have a thing about unisex sounding names.....love them.
Don't worry too much, the name will come to you...don't try and force it and it will come and it'll be perfect for you LO

I have 23 working days till maternity leave and am counting down daily....don't know if its helping to keep me patient or not but its working for me right now.
I am doing so many things trying to keep busy and have the days whizz past.
I now the day will be here soon.....

Speak to baba and ask her to wait for daddy and then have faith that she will.
Will be crossing fingers for you and baba that daddy doesn't miss the big day.

Elrike, do you have your peanut butter and syrup toast with the strawberries on top......my mouth is watering just at the thought....

All the best

Tanz - Lol on the dreams

Bule - thanks for the clarity gosh it feels weird though I'm not use to having such raunchy dreams hehehe Loving your bump it's too cute.

Lizel - I agree I just have to stay positive and know that she will wait for daddy to come home before she makes her arrival!

Claire - Lol I did think about threatning devorce but DH told me that I can resign and be SAHMommy!!!! Yay Yay Yay!!! So I really don't wanna piss him off now, and I know he really also doesn't wanna go or take a chance of missing the birth it is just one of those unfortunate things that goes with the job.

Plasenta is in die regte posisie, Vrugwater is genoeg... Interessante ding wat ons vandag gesien het, volgens die afmetings is ek steeds 2 weke verder op 34 weke en 5 dae... en sy kop meet 35 weke 3dae... Dr reken as ek vol termyn loop behoort hy meer as 4 kg te weeg...

Mooi aand vir julle almal!

Thanks Claire and Lizel for the welcome.
Yes, I'm looking forward to the birth so much and am trying to prepare myself as much as possible. Can't wait to hold this little one in my arms, however he/she is born. I can only pray for my desires to come true and am placing all my trust in God.

LO's getting clingy....YHO!!!
My daughter is 3 years and 9 months and my son is 22 months....it is a battle I tell you.
Everything is done with whinning and crying and wanting mom to pick them up...especially the almost 4 year old.
I have to use all my patience to deal with it. I do loose it sometimes and tend to yell at them, then fill like an absolute monster afterward. Sometimes I just don't have the strength so I just take a drive and leave them with the nanny.....with whom they are sooooo well behaved.

Porridge brain....you said it. Don't know why they don't just give me a holiday at work...

Oh, so cute you LO playing with your tummy. My kids do that too....adorable!

Am doing anything and everything these days to pass the time, it just seems to be dragging.

Keep well ladies
...mhm, going for another bar one!!!

Hey ladies, my son is about to wake up but I'll catch up as much as I can til then.

Hi Deja! This weekend was very bad! I ate so much junk! Can feel baby is bigger now. I really need to cut out sugar because that is my great fail on a daily basis! I think I'm addicted though! You still look so good! I swear, all I have is fat and cellulite! I was much sexier last time!

Lindy - that really sux about your DH! I think I would threaten divorce! Hopefully ur bubs stays put til her due date. Most first babies don't come early. You never know though. Did your mom have early labors? I never knew you hadn't picked a name yet...do you have choices?

Hi Bule - I was wondering when you would join us! I really hope you keep us updated throughout ur labor. Sounds like it is going to be amazing! You are brave doing it at home...I need the nurses afterwards so I can get my sleep!

Ok, that's all my porridge brain remembers.

I am so tired, I don't know what to do with myself. My baby is constantly in a weird position and when it kicks, it feels like I'm about to give birth. Can't wait for the movements to slow down. Will hopefully have the baby's nook done by next week. My son is getting so impatient! He keeps asking to hold the baby and lifting up my shirt to kiss and feel the baba! Very sweet. Have any of the other 2nd time mommies noticed that their LO's are very clingy? He's driving me mad! He used to settle down to nap on his own...now he wants me to hold him. Plus he wants 100% of my attention all day! And wants to be picked up...I don't have the energy anymore.

Bulelwam, welcome and cant believe you are almost finished with the pregnancy will be holding your angel in no time You are tiny and have a cute bump. Me and hubby also very acctive

Tanz, how was the scan? You get nice pic's of your LB? on making movies very kinky

Lindy, yep they try and stop it but it does not always work. All will work out you will see hubby is going to be home and then your LG will be born she just have to stick in there

Elrike, ek het kraam pyne gehad maar die keiser was seker die ergste vir my. Hoeveel nagte gaan jy in die hospitaal wees? My medies dek nou net 1 aand normaal en dan 2 aande vir keiser. Met Zelri was dit 3 aande? En ek was seker n maand na die geboorte nog steeds so wit soos n spook

Hope you all have a great day
