Oktober & November 2011 Mammas

Oh my word, saw there's more posts I haven't read yet.

Elrike, jy is so maer, jy hoef niks te worry nie. Bly jy het die klere uitsorteer, ek het nie eens tyd om my hare te straighten nie. Dinge bietjie chaos op die oomblik...

Tanz, only advice I have is to refuse to leave until you know what it is!

Hi all

All going well this side. Baby is kicking up a storm, he is moving so much. One moment he is kicking my bladder, the next my navel. Doing summersaults of something.
I am still eating like an animal and gaining weight at an alarming rate. (Attaching pics...)

Aw Lindy, lovely pics! I wanted to go for 4D now, but it's R800 here! So no go.

Lizel, sterkte met die boulening. Baie exciting. Het julle 'n plan vir die huis? Ek eet ook omtrent net carbs. Wil more begin oefen, maar weet nie of ek die krag gaan he om op te staan nie.

Sal, I had to laugh, I feel the same. I am going normal birth, so really hope baby's head fits! Because I'm sure he is going to be quite a big little man! And I am the biggest bitch. I am really terribly rude to everyone and I cannot help it.
Also don't buy maternity clothes, because everything is ugly. At Truworths they have a range, Ginger Mary, with fab clothing for preggy women, but SO expensive! I bought a top there which is lovely and am going to have more ones made. Must actually post a pic...
I live in jeans and black longish jerseys (you'll see on pic...). And the Yummy Mummy Tummy is my best friend.

Aw Lourina, that is a beautiful scan pic!

Claire, I've never spent a night away from Nienke. Ever. And I don't plan to. I plan on having the baby in the morning and leaving three hours later. That's why I don't want an epidural near me. Really hoping it works out that way. Otherwise her dad will be home and her nanny will sleep over. But I'm not staying more than one night in hospital!

Lindy, the liquid is completely normal. I had it with Nienke but not yet now. It's called colostrum.

Gracious, colostrum is an amazingly nutritional first feed for baby. You even get colostrum face cream. If I'm not mistaken, it's called "nature's gold" or something like that. You really don't need to feel dirty at all.

Wow Chanz, amazing that your nursery is done already!

Liz, don't worry, you will have milk. It comes only three days after you give birth.

Welcome Tanz!

Claire, I have no idea where you can go. Do you want to travel far? Maybe go to a great spa closeby?

By the way, someone asked me yesterday "so, how many days left?". I was like FOUR MONTHS!!!
