August-September 2010 Moms

Morning Everyone,

Last night i had such a racket at my house. Just before midnight was heard this loud banging on our front door. Hubby opened the window to check who it was, there was like 8 guys dressed in casual clothing asking us to open the door as they have a search warrant to search the house for drugs and weapons. Hubby asked to see the search warrant and also there identification, the one guy who said he was the inspector just flashed the paper and badge infront of him.

I was so flippen terrified, plus Jude woke up from all the commotion, I asked them to wait so that i could phone the police station as i wasnt going to let anyone in the house, the guy still told me if i dont open he door they would break it down in the next 5 mins.

After the whole ordeal we had to open up and let them in, but they didnt search the house as they could see they had the incorrect info and that someone tipped off the wrong info, the man apologise and said he was sorry to cos this as he can see im pregnant and Jude was terrified.

Morning ladies

Just 1 more day til the Weekend!!!!

Girly - hope all goes well and bubs picks up some weight

Nikki - you are so lucky to be able to take a nap at work!!

Eileen - hope all goes well with your scan today.

AFM - just came back from my 34wk scan - bubs is about 2.3kg and doc said she'll be +/- 3.3kg at birth.
Thankfully all my tests came back clean (iron, glucose etc) and I've now picked up just under 10kgs
Doc is very happy with D's position, weight, amniotic fluid etc that she only wants to see me again at 37wks - the day before my last day at work (if I'm still preggie then!)

Going to get everything for my hospital bag and all D's toiletries on Sat - so a full day of shopping for me

Thankfully I have been sleeping very well these last few nights - I now sleep with a continental pillow under my shoulders and head with my pillow on top of that, one under my belly and another between my knees (DH calls it my 'fortress')
But it works - no reflux, no tossing & turning, no aches & pains in my hips

Just 3 more weeks of work for me!

Keep well ladies

Girly - Wow, that sure sounds like a full day! Can only imagine how exhausted you must be-enjoy your well deserved rest before class tonight!

Please remember to take it easy.

Hey mommies

Shew what a day! We went this morning to get the last toiletries we need to pack our hospital bag which I'll try do tonight, and bought our cot mattress & campcot mattress. We have to return the cot mattress, apparently our cot is bigger than 'standard'?

Then did grocery shopping to see us through the next few weeks. Then scan, then dischem to buy our R600 humidifier!!! Fought with dischem about getting my stilnox and heartburn prescription meds. They would not give it to me without talking to doc first as they feel its not safe. But doc in consult all day and I couldnt wait but need to sleep tonight. Thankfully got it from another pharmacy. And then had to drop cleaner off at 3.

So now I'm gonna go read for a bit, and then our last antenatal class tonight!

Update on our scan. Kaylee weighs about 2.4kgs now, and showing 2 weeks smaller than she should be. Doc is slightly worried because last scan she was only 1 week behind which means she hasnt grown as well the last 2 weeks. The dont consider growth retardation until there's a 3 week diff, so will see what happens at our next scan on 4th Aug. If she hasnt grown as expected he might opt for an early birth. Apparently by signs of retardation their lungs mature earlier to keep them healthy?
She is still breech (I knew that, I can feel her head!) so he has pencilled in 13th Aug as our c/sec date which is 38w3d! We'll prob see him a few days before, so if she's turned and all ok he'll cancel that date. If it happens then, at least its a Friday, and DH can be with me the weekend, and only use his paternity leave the following week.

Hope everyone is well.
Sorry for selfish post. I need to go lie down!

Jeanine- you are really lucky to be doing so well without many of the pregnancy ailments!

MinaMoo - you are also just around the corner from holding your LO in your arms. BTW what type of beanbag do you use to sleep?
How long did it take you to submit your UIF papers and do you have to go every month?
Love the tummy pic!

B2B - such amazing news on Armand's progress and that he has turned! Everyone's prayers have not gone in vain. Hope you get over the flu

Girly-cant wait to read about Kaylee's progress. Hope the HB is better-im also suffering terribly now and taking a lot of gaviscon. So glad you got a good package-dont stress about the job hunting now, enjoy the last bit of your pregnancy and. Something will def come up.

JudesMom - shame I know that feeling of not being able to sleep at night, especially when you are still working. Hang in there girl

Liani - sjoe, you are also close now. Take the time to relax and rest. I know it can become a bit boring especially since you are so organized and everything is already done! Sometimes helps to read/surb the web on something non baby related

Babyzee - take it easy with the driving and enjoy the shopping.

Eileen-hope you feel better

M2M I I used to also feel exactly the same during my last few weeks at work. Fortunately for me I could actually take a nap (I work at a hotel ) for an hour or so and it really helped me get through a long stressful day - I was still working 12 hour days right towards the end. Is there anyway you could put your feet up or even better lay your head down for at least half an hour?

Everything of the best to all the other mommies - we are all so close to the big day now!

strongs gilry, remember we are waiting for the update
