Due April/May 2016

Hallo ladies!!

I am also feeling so tired of late and yet there is so much still to do! I just hope it will be all done by the time the baby comes!

I was by my new gynea yesterday and I was seriously impressed!! She is wonderful and fully agreed to my birth plan. She is very pro-natural and supported all I wanted! She also explained so much more to me than my previous gynea. The little one is now 2,3kg and she said he is developing allot faster so he might come early! So my due date might change to a week earlier than originally expected! So far to date I picked up 9kg. Does not seem as if I picked up much in the last month but then I have been trying really hard the last month not to give in to cravings and eat healthy! My hospital bed is also booked relieved that is done!

I wish I was taking leave next week but decided to save my leave days for when I am back at work might need them more then!

@licious and @lolabynny I am so jealous such little weight gain, ya'll are totes lucky. I was sitting on 10kgs gained at 33weeks, I'll know tomorrow how I'm doing on that front at my 35week appointment.

@maj I totally feel you when you say you are ready for the baby to be here but again you don't want them to come cause you are unprepared, same here. I feels as though there is so much I still need to wrap up. The plan is to get everything that is still outstanding in the 1st week of my maternity leave, and just relax for the other 2weeks.

I am also sooo over being pregnant, oh gosh. Some days are definitely better than others but hell, this phase needs to come to an end.

Anyone taking the 3days leave next week to have a 10days break? I decided not to, I'm saving my annual leave days.

@Maj we need to be careful
@Ninies atleast you started washing them, I have not started and my brother called me over the weekend to say I must fetch baby clothes. I so want to go and fetch them but I am lazy.

Hallo ladies,

Hope everyone is keeping well.

@Licious - I am extremely tired lately. I even want to have a nap at the office....I am struggling to wake up in the morning.

@Sonsbaby - Stork parties are such a blessing and two on one weekend is double blessings. I just love getting gifts and looking at them over and over.

I have started washing my baby's clothes the weekend. I am still not done, but hopefully I will be done by the end of this long weekend. I am so happy for these long weekends.

@LolaBunny, yes grandma's will do what they want to do. It took me sooo long to leave my daughter with My MIL cos I did not trust her to do the things I did not want her to do!!

@licious also feeling tired. Even the woman at the supermarket yesterday evening asked me if Im ok, cos I look really tired! I want the baby to be here, but I am also so unprepared so I dont want her to be here! lol

I just went to the chiro, my back, hips and legs have been straining. The chiro reckons my ligaments are so loose at the moment! She warned that I need to be careful with bending and twisting, etc.

@Maj that's me I am getting clumsier its scary, on Saturday I got this huge scratch from a door handle.
@!Lolabunnt 8kg is not that bad!! I will also go back to gym after birth but not sure when.

I don't know about you ladies but I am really tired of been pregnant, I feel like its been too long I wish I can speed up the days. I cant wait to meet my little girl.

@Sonsbaby - What an amazing double surprise weekend! Also, the advice will not end...it will just get worse once baby is here. You're not holding him right, lay them on their tummy, use a pillow, give them old school things I can't even remember Castor oil etc lol!
My mom gave my daughter water because she said she had "sours" - or that milk buildup in the mouth. But you just need to give some glycerine I think, and wipe their mouth with a wet cloth. She was exclusively breastfed and I used the bottles I got to store expressed breastmilk for when I wanted to go out and she was staying with granny and grandpa. It hardly worked, because she hated it and would wait until I got back before she drank anything
The water didn't hurt her, but I know people say they should not get water, because you are right - the breastmilk does have the water she needs. However, if your mom says give her water, just give her some water lol! Nothing will happen to her And grandma's like to do what they want anyway

@licious - that is awesome! I think I am heading to like 8 kg gained so far I'm already planning my gym visits for losing the weight after
