November / December 2012 Babies

Mandri if i dont pop by next week im gonna scream (says the lady still looking for a job and trying to conceal her pregnancy at interviews lol)

Ms_S, lol I always want the chocolate mouse at Woolies or Pick 'n Pay, too lazy to make myself. Woolies has these divine cupcakes with chocolate mouse - but they definitely have egg in!

Lol, couldn't help laughing at the went from a B to a D cup, cause my husband also loves that! He he he

Palesa - don't worry about not showing yet. When I was pregnant with the twins at 20 weeks you couldn't see I was pregnant but at 22 weeks I literally "popped". Sure you will have a nice belly soon!

Babyzee - sorry you couldn't see! But glad baby is doing well!

Ms_S finding out early is drag i know what you mean but my main issue is that my tummy isnt showing it`s not even hard yet. the mornings are worse it looks way too flat. im quite chubby but alwaysa had a flat tummy my mom says thats why. maybe she`s trying to make me feel better. i just want to pop.

babyzee yellow it is then lol.

Oh and i still have my Nando's wrap they serve it without Mayo

Hi Ladies,

In the first tri i used Gaviscon the peppermint flavor what i would do i swallow it immediately and not let it stay in my mouth.

I just came from my scan docs i am now 17wks it was so funny coz baba was moving around alot. So doc tells me its definitely a boy then he looks and says no its a girl. In the end he really couldn't tell because the cord was between the legs. I have now decided to keep it a surprise and not find out, so its team yellow for me as well.

I already have a pigeon pair so either is fine with me.

Afternoon ladies

What I love about these questions is that everyone's answers are so different, but I can still relate to most of them! Good job on 'stealing' this mandri

Palesa, can't believe you 22 weeks already. Time has flown for you! I found out way too early that I was pregnant, so it feels as if time is going extra slow for me.

Mandri, why can't you eat chocolate mousse? Is it because of the raw egg? Cos not all mousse recipes contain egg, I usually make the marshmellow and cream one. Love the bird theme btw, reminds me of serena's room in gossip girl she has a flock of birds on the wall just above her bed (I watch too much series).

Momtoc, I gave up coffee for a while, and then drank my 1st cup in a long time when I was in cpt. I couldn't believe how good it tasted, especially cos I didn't really miss it! I hope the stresses ease soon, and you guys decide on a name you both happy with.
