November / December 2012 Babies

Hi All,

I am due in Dec 2012, EDD is 23rd I am 23 weeks so far and expecting a girl.
Our first child and we are soo looking forward to meeting her.

Pregnancy is going well so far.
I love feeling her move and kick, it does feel funny when she kicks into my bladder though!

I have attached some scans from our visit when i was 20 weeks.

Hey Ladies!

I had a wonderful weekend, and am not in the mood to work at ALL!! Will try to force myself to go to gym this afternoon, even if it is only to do some walking on treadmill/elliptical thingy. Its hell to do but I do find that it helps with my energy levels after, and for the rest of the week (if I can force myself to go a couple times a week or so).

Soooo the weekend... The girls at work decided to surprise me with a baby shower!! I had given up on having one at all, since my family lives far from Joburg. But the ladies at work really went to trouble to make it special, got my hubby involved and kept it a secret. I was so spoilt, I got so many nice things, little pink outfits and towels and some nappies and baby wipes, as well as an infrared thermometer which I'd been eyeing at Diskem. And even one of the guys from work sent a Baby City gift voucher, from him and his wife

We finished most of the building at home too (we've been building an enclosed patio with a built-in braai to maximize space) and we could go and dump all the building rubble thats been cluttering up the garden for months. What a relief! Its been a bit of a nightmare cause my hubby is doing the building himself with two guys, and since we have large dogs and the builders are terrified, we could only build on Saturdays when we could keep an eye on the situation. So its been dragging on for months! Now its just the painting that's left, but we'll be able to do that ourselves.

I was at the Dr this morning for 30 week visit, baby is growing nicely (1.5kg) and everything normal. So off to a good start for the week!

Hope you all have a lovely week!

lol sorry momtoc im just glad it`s nothing major isnt there a vitamin you can take to assisst with the condition during this time? there needs to be something you can do coz infections are not childs play hey. i had a mild one at the beginning but have been ok so far.

im just worried about the colour of my urine though i thinks it`s coz im not drinking enough water. it looks way too orange for my licking it was clear though last week when i saw the gaeny.

29 weeks this week yay. time is moving so fast you guys soon i will be screaming at the top of my lungs begging the man above to take this wonderful being out of me. the epidural better be nearby.

i have so much work but feel too tired to think. help........

Thanks palesa

I'm telling you, exhausted is not the word & there is still alot of packing & sorting out to do. I want to go ask my sisters (yes, I work with both of them lol), if I can maybe take tomorrow of to sort things out cause I'm way too tired at night & can hardly keep my eyes open.

Yes, I managed to carry until I was about 39 weeks but as you remember my story, I had to have a c-section due to placenta preavia & also the stents I had in of the kidney problems.

Just glad everything is going well so far. The only issues I've been having is that I've had numerous yeast infections right through this pregnancy & my gynae said it's because of the hormones which causes alot of acid in my body & that disturbs my pH levels down there.

I also just wanna update all of you regarding the excessive discharge I've been having... So, thurs I phoned my gynae's office to speak to one of the sister's because what I was experiencing. She was busy & had to phone me back but it got so late & when I phoned them back, they were already closed & I was put through to the after hour unit. The lady paged my gynae & he immediately phoned me back. I explained him all my symptoms & he said I had a bacterial infection(which I assumed, cause I know the difference between a yeast infection & bacterial). He prescribed me some ovules to use for 3 days & now the infection is all gone.............I'm telling you guys, I'm fed up with all these infections now hey........

momtoc good luck with the move i know how exausting it is but at least you have already done some moving.

that placenta preavia is just too dangerous shoo did you give birth full term though momtoc?

Hi there ladies

babyzee, glad all is well & ja, listen to your doc - just take it easy
People don't even have to give me extra food, I handle that perfectly well on my own I wasn't even this bad when I expected my 1st!!!!

mosaneo, glad the move went well & that it's done & that you only have a few boxes to unpack. We are officially in our new place this friday!!!

palesa, I had placenta preavia with my 1st but it wasn't that low that I had to be put on bed rest - shame, that's just hectic.
I see you are in the spring cleaning mood with washing windows ha ha ha

AFM, had a very exhausting weekend. Did a lot of packing & did a few trips to the new place to unload a few things there, we also had my youngest sister's birthday dinner saturday late afternoon AND we had to go look at grease costumes sat morning for my best friend's hubby's 30th party!
It is so difficult to figure out what I was going to wear with this tummy of mine but luckily I managed to get something. My daughter & I are basically gonna be dressing the same & it wasn't planned like that ha ha. I will post pics on the day of the party. I think it's going to be so much fun.

mosaneo im glad the move went ok that must have been torturous but you survived. try and take it easy fr the next few days. i on the other hand did a curtains down party and wahsed the widows 7 down 6 to go lol.
