Oct/Nov 2008 mommies!

Hello hello I'm here!!

Lol, sorry I should've said, my appointment was only at 4.30pm which ended up actually taking place at 5.15pm so this is the earlist chance I've had after getting Oliver bathed and bedded.

All is well with the bump, he/she is a healthy 54mm long, heart rate 169 Doc is very happy, everything looks good. He even could've told me the sex...which leads me to think its probably a boy kinda if it is but at the same time I'd be happy with another boy, still don't want to know, I know when I hold the baby for the first time I won't care what it is, I'll know that its exactly what its meant to be. All looks well with the Down's test so now just hope I don't hear anything from the bloods, man alive the woman bruised me! I hate giving blood as they always battle to find my veins. And she said the one tube looks like it might've clotted a bit so they might have to call me back

I'm weighing in at 64kg, only picked up half a kilo in the last 4 weeks which isn't too bad, puts me at 2kg heavier than I was at this stage with Oliver but I also think that I started a kg heavier.

Wow those ultra sounds are amazing, he has a really fancy new machine and was even able to do a 4D scan (I also think I saw a willy in that bit but I'm not an expert so I really shouldn't try to second guess but I've been studying it intensely since we got back lol). Its a proper little person already with fingers, teeth and everything. It even woke up and performed a little jig for us, so cute!

Anyways, I'm sorry I don't have time to catch up right now, have to get dinner on the go and I promised myself I'd pack at least two boxes tonight

Yes Lisha the boys will show Addy....lol

Gotta hit the books now...

Oh Lisha the stew was divine...exactly what I was craving...I am resisting having a second helping.....i over cooked it a bit so chicken was melting off the bone....but it was really good...and a good diet dish even...which it didn't taste like cause u just chuck any old veg u want in there.

Well just put madam down...learnt a trick...pretend to feed a doll and barney then Addy's turn...she fell for it and had about a heaped tbsp of food...which is a lot of progress for us!

Hope we all have a good night:-)

Helen hope u clock in soon!!

Simone normal tax issues I can handle - I hate deferred tax with a passion - mostly due to the work entailed in wear & tear calcs Good luck to you though

No updates on fb either from Helen ...

Julz you know what is worse than the pens - those refill crayons ... my poor mother in months to come lol...

Zamzie hope you get your early night ... shame you do sound like you're totally exhausted ... I plan on early night due to this mornings fiasco but knowing me I will watch 2 episodes of Heroes first

Simone lol so Shrey & Dylan are going to teach Addy how to apply makeup
I'm also in the mood for a nice stew but must be made by my mom lol ...

Any news from Helen?

Ally hope the twins eat better tonight. Addison didnt eat last night either.

I am making a chicken veg stew...bought mushrooms, courgettes, butternut...nothing fancy...I am in the mood for a nice comforting meal with lotsa veg...and on the plus side its healthy;-)

Lisha...I studies a bit in the last hour...TAXATION and DEFERRED TAX! Give me strength! lol

Ally my cousin forgets she too was skinny...she only started piling on the weight in her late teens, early twenties. Its rather sad...her mom (was) and sister are super skinny...and her mom put alot of emphasis on being skinny. I wont forget...i was 15 and had to watch her cause her husband was working, kids had school committments...and mom was dying of cancer...and i walked in to check on her and she says: Yoh Simone! You must make a plan with those thighs! (ON HER DEATH BED). So she still equates skinny to the be all and end all of life! Lets not even get started on hair! thats a whole other story!

Lisha lol @ Shreyan and the make up! Shame poor Addison has no idea what make up is except lipstick cause my mom puts on for her...and i occassionally put on Elizabeth Arden 8hr cream on our lips which she loves!

Zamzie 6w again? I swear your pregnancy is gonna fly by like everybody else's!Shame i hope symptoms ease up!
