August-September 2010 Moms

Hey ladies

Girly - enjoy the antenatal classes
JudesMOM - hope he is ok now
Mommy2J - so glad you found us!!! YEAH!!
robyn - wonderful bump very cute.

Getting out of bed every morning to come to work is getting REALLY tiring. I am not sleeping so well at night, just lay awake and can't go back to sleep, sometimes for hours!!! Then, when I eventually do go back to sleep, the alarm goes off!!!

Well, at least the pelvic, hip and leg pains are completely gone now. So, at least I am not lying there in pain!!

If I work until my intended M/L date, I have 15 more days at work - not so bad considering I started counting at 90+!!!

Emily is back to her regular movements - YEAH!!! Apparently they go through a growth spurt at 33 weeks, so that might have been the reason for her "laziness" Nice to feel her moving all the time again I missed it - she is a very busy little girl when she wants to be

Going to finish packing my hospital bag this weekend. I started long ago, but there was still a few things like pyjama's that I needed to get. So, will get that over the weekend and then finish the packing. Emily's bag is all packed and ready to go (has been since probably week 24 or so). Can't wait for the baby shower on Saturday - I LOVE baby things

Also going to get my hair cut and coloured on Friday. I feel like a bit of a drab at the moment, so need to add some life to my look Also, decided to keep my hair a bit shorter while baby is small (less maintenance)

Robyn you are one of those lucky ones with the perfect pregnancy body!!! Gorgeous hun!
I am just round all over, including my face.
Might as well paint me blue like that one from Charlie & the Chocolate factory!
Seems you are quite active which helps. After the pubic bone pain last month gynae has suggested no more walking, and even pilates exercises are now limited.
I see you have a mexican bola? Do you wear it every day?
Happy 30weeks

Kaylee has suddenly started to get more energetic this week, and I can actually feel body parts poking around it's so nice. I expect DH and other people will start feeling them a lot more now.

We start Antenatal class tonight. Can't wait!
But I'm so tired, struggling to sleep at night as my mind is full of things which translate into tiring dreams and I wake up tired.

Off to work again.
Hope those of you that are MIA are just working really hard and that everything is okay.

Hello Ladies

Hope everyone is doing well

Good Luck Bafana! (I know we prob won't get thru but I'm still proud of our boys and our World Cup!)

30 weeks today !!!

Dakota is still very active but lots of little movements - flutters, bumps and rolls (a gymnist methinks?) so DH has only felt her a few times so far.
Seeing her again on Mon - will be interesting how much she's grown!

As for excercise - I still do my Belly dancing every week, although I'll probably stop at the end of the month as it's getting abut difficult. DH and I go for walks along the green belt by Constantia gym, which is much nicer than flopping around in the actual gym)

here is the 30wk bump:

Hey Mommy2J! Long time hun. So glad you found us. I hardly ever go onto pampers. I see it's still active but all the regulars are here so I dont really bother.

Lovely name choice! And we are due together, I'm 31 weeks today
Shew all these baby showers I'm jealous!
Keep in touch

I woke up with the ending of a horrible dream, that was work related! I cant believe its infiltrating my dreams as well!
And then stupidly first thing I do when I stop my alarm is check what emails are waiting for me from far east customers, only to find an email I did NOT want to see about an ongoing quality claim which is stressing me out big time. Going to have to go legal on this, and carry on with day to day stuff. No money is worth this stress.
So ja, bad start for me, havent even left for work, and my mind is consumed. It's so tiring.
Anyway, that's my moan. I guess I got up the wrong side of bed today. Really hope it gets better soon.

Have a lovely day and catch up with you tonight.

Hi to all the mommies i have been so lost with pampers and eventually gave up hope of ever finding everyone again!

Glad to see everyone is well I am 31 weeks today...still a girl we are naming her Sienna.

I had my baby shower on the weekend and now its time to start getting organised.....not long now ladies!

so glad i found all of you again!

Evening girls

Naikza funny how they start panicking a few weeks before!

Charnenay hope you got home early and got to relax. Am rather jealous!
Did you call your doctor about Emily's movements? It could just be that she's moved and giving most of her kicks into the placenta which you can't feel, or she's running out of space and now the movements are different.
Either way, if you are not happy, and not feeling her as often, then rather give your gynae a call for peace of mind.
Oooh enjoy your shower! Dont forget to tell us all about it, and photo's please!
I dont know when mine is happening, just that it's happening.

Judes mom lucky DH
But sorry about your LB That's the second UTI in a male that I heard of today. Hope its not too serious.

Babyzee wow hun. Your LO isnt that big, only about 200grams ahead of due date, so you might find it catch up next scan. Are you having a C/Section?

Re baby room, I have booked for a general ward and will just change it on the day. I like the idea of having some company, but I think I'll be so focused on Kaylee, and sleep that 2 days will fly by. I am also worried about the company, as might not be in a chatty mood etc. But will see what the budget allows. DH wants me to have the private room, which is real sweet of him. So we'll see what the budget allows.

Starting Antenatal classes Wednesday! By the time I finish, I will be on maternity leave. Tick tock!

I did a budget today of what we need to buy in July (intend on having everything ready end of this month) and woah its rather scary!
Still need to budget and see what we will do on M/L, see how much cash we'll be short and see where we can cut corners. One thing I noticed is that we spend way too much on unbudgeted things, and are wasting money. We will definitely need to cut back. Just worried about being able to do so within the space of a month, its going to be a big living adjustment!

Hi Ladies,

Blessed i hope you and baby are doing well, i will keep you in my prayers

Girly glad the tour went well for you, i personaly perfer sharing a room last time my room mate colapsed in the bath room it was great i was around to help her and i could do with the extra money.

Charnenay sometime they have their quiet day, but to be on the safe side call your gynae.

AFM went for my appointment this morning i have a bad cough since Friday the doc has prescribed antibiotics, my due date is the 23rd of August my gynae has now moved it to the 10th as baby is 2kgs at 31 weeks he says baby has gained 1kg in three weeks.

I am so surprised, i have not done any preparations i need to hurry.
