Oct/Nov 2008 mommies!

Morning ladies

Vix I am so pleased that you're sounding so positive - lots of woman would stress a lot under these circumstances. Hope you manage to get a bit more comfy on that ridiculous bed though. We're waiting anxiously to hear what your doctor has to say. Hugs my friend and remember we're all thinking of you xxx

Angie sorry you guys are going through a tough time. Hope as time progresses to the actual move you guys would not be so stressed out. How's CJ amongst all the moving stuff?

Zee shame hun still so hectic on your side. Enjoy your function tonight - hope Ziani will be fine with dh. I have same issues with Shrey at night but 15th Dec dh & my mum must battle it out when I go for my year end dinner

Helen fx you get UIF sorted today!!!

AFM last night we took Shrey for fitting for his wedding clothes OMW he looked so adorable. The tailor made stuff is really gorgeous and they left enough fabric in the side and length for us to extend it for a couple years more Just left his shirt there to be altered as well and everything will be ready today for pick up.
Otherwise we had a good night. At some point he was calling for me just to hear mhy voice and he fell asleep again. Came into my bed around 5 and slept in my face, dh was laughing because the 2 of us were at the one edge of the bed and there was a huge gap and then dh slept lol.

OMW Vix!!!!!!!!!!!!!EEEEEEEEK!!!!!! I am sorry tweenie 2 is not growing but like the DR and nurses said, 2 healthy baba's are ideal and you are such a strong and wonderful women, you are going to be absolutly fantastic!!! biiiiiiiig hugs to you!!!! I cant wait to hear what the dr. has to say. I cant belive you might be having those baba's anyday now!!. I loved reading about how you spoke about Elwyn, it was really sweet. You guys are really a wonderful couple. I am glad C is doing well at your mom's place. xxxxx You will be in my thoughts and will be holding thumbs and toes for you!!

Vix I admire your strength and I know that you repared yourself for a possible early labour and that is good. I know you have complete faith in your Dr which is fabulous and he has everything well under control. I will keep a look out for your updates.

1.5 years ago you welcomed me with open arms to the thread and I today you are possibly about to have twins. How amazing is life!!!!

I wish you and Elwyn all the very best and Christopher is going to be the greatest older brother ever!!!!

All my love and wishes

Hi Ally- thanks for your words they make me feel a whole lot better! Xxxxx I know we're actually doing really well to have gone so far in my little frame anyway and every sister here is agreeing, rather take out 2 healthy babies that one very very sick baby. I'm prepared for NICU I think in my mind even if I went to 38w I would've still expected it, You know me, I like to cover every eventuality in my heart and mind.

Thanks so much for all your generous offers to help out and be assured if I honestly need help I promise to ask. I have got pants just fancied some new ones that was all but I will survive. Elwyn is very good and with C at my mums full time he only has himself to feed so thankfully I don't have to stress. I think even if I had a house full of food he wouldn't bother cooking LOL

I am still sitting on the CTG and had my 3rd steroid shot, sh1t that stuff is flippin Eina! I would never survive natural birth. I think it would be better if they didn't have me hooked to this bloody machine then I could walk the burning sensation off!

Dr should be here soon and Elwyn just arrived, I missed him especially since I couldn't sleep all night.

OMW Vix, I only heard now!

I'm so sorry tweenie 2 isn't growing as well. But that's to be expected with most twins. And you have done so incredibly well with keeping them inside. You are teeny tiny and most women your size don't carry for longer than 33 weeks so WELL DONE!!

You might get a bit of a fright at their size when they are born but after 30 weeks they are safe and they look like little dolls. Your dr made the right decision, rather be safe than sorry. And you might have to stay there a while but that's also better.

WHen I was in hospital I was in a room with 3 other pregnant ladies and they were all under 33 weeks. One girl had been there for 2 months and she was only 27 weeks pregnant, everyday they thought she miscarried she was bleeding so much. So we have a lot to be thankful for actually.

Please let us know what the dr says today and also, Mandy is right. I'll drop everything and help if you need me to. I can go to PEP to get you some pants and I can help Elwyn with groceries if need be. Just let me know, I might only be able to help in the next few days but I'll still do it!

Oh Angie, I'm really sorry you guys are having a tough time. It must be very tense in your house at the moment what with the speed that things are moving at. I hope the athmosphere lifts soon! Xxx

Well I only slept from 12 til 2 basically, just the most hideously uncomfortable bed for a preggy mom who"s already sore. I asked Elwyn to bring me lots of pillows in because I promise you sleeping is the most painful thing I do and even on my Simmons mattress I get sore so I'm sure you can imagine what this hardboard mattress is like. I have started a thread in the birth stories topic mainly so everyone doesn't feel they have to check in here so you guys don't loose your privacy too. Everything I write there I will be writing here but there I'll keep some of the more personal details WRT Elwyn and C out and just put those in here. I know anyone catill read it here but I'm really hoping they will get their info fix that side.

I think all the birthdays are over now until late Dec when we have Zaid.

If anyone sends me a private message on FB then I can't read it on my BB but please still don't post anything on my profile page. You can email me anytime vickie@babybear.co.za and I will reply there.
