August-September 2010 Moms

Morning gals

How are all today? I di not feel like saying much as I have been sick this whole weekend and still am really sick just feel like sleeping but it's just work work work!

Girly I see you are looking for brown pants, they have brown maternaty pants at Edgars R199.95 got myself a gray one Friday lovely.

You should all have a wonderful day and I will feel sorry for myself for the rest of the day lol

Hugs

Morning gals!

M2M congrats on 25weeks
Your tummy is so cute!

Jeanine think I need to go to Mr. Price this week for some jeans. I've got a pair from woolies but they're too big and fall off when I sit down
I also desperately want a pair of brown pants, to go with my autum tops & shoes. But no such thing in the maternity world it seems.
I got a yummy mummy tummy (??) this weekend. It works well with maternity pants that have that awful waste band which doesnt look nice, and to keep the pants up a bit too.
That's a stunning belly you have! Carrying very nicely indeed!

Judes mom I'm sorry that your scan was so unpleasant! You should really take it up with him next time. Maybe he was just back from a difficult birth or something that caused the behaviour. But sucks that you feel this way

I am still so panicky about baby's movements. Last weekend she was so busy, and since Tuesday she's been so chill again. I only get the occasional kick, not nearly enough for me to start feeling calm, and then nothing for another 4 - 8 hours.
She seems to like the movies though! Both Friday & Saturday night she kicked quite a bit at the beginning of the movies.

Only 2 more days till our scan!!! I'll ask the gynae about it then.
Oh yes, wondering if its safe to be using our gas heater this winter?

Good Morning Ladies
Another week - ho hum
Looks like it will be quite a cold & wet one in Cpt

Had quite a nice weekend - went out for supper and saw Iron Man II on Fri. Spent most of Sat relaxing then went to visit friends who had a baby girl last Mon - too gorgeous!!
And then spent yesterday lazing, watching tv etc.
I haven't had any cravings (yet) and haven't asked DH for any weird things at weird times, but on Sat eve, at about 21h30, I all of a sudden got really hungry for chips & chocolate, so DH kindly volunteered to get me some - so sweet!

JudesMom - so sorry to hear about that. It must be so frustrating! At least baba is healthy and growing, just think of that when you get pissed off with your doc - no negative energy!!

Girly - DH is the same!! He also put his hand on my tummy last night while in bed, hoping to feel something but D was fast asleep by then - Shame man, I feel so bad for him but I guess at 6 months, he will def be able to see (and feel) everything

Here are some pics of Dakota's leg & hand - too cute!

Morning Everyone, Just got back from my Doctor's checkup and im really pee'd off with him. The 22 week detailed scan that i went for he told me i totally wasted my money cos went to Morton and Partners and not to the place he recommended me to go to. I could get an appointment with them.

It seemed like everything was a total rush this morning we were there for like 10 mins. All he did was check and said baby was laying fine and she weigh 620 grams. I now weigh 63Kgs.

He told me that i will have to come and see him every 3 weeks from now on.

I really hated todays visit, when he finished i asked him to check the sex again. And all he said was mommy its a girl.

Im sooo fustrated right now, feel like crying.

Morning Ladies.

I've also been having a bit of insomnia lately, usually around 4-5 in the morning

Hubby managed to feel Willem only at about 23-24 weeks - baby was kicking so hard I could SEE it, but he just couldnt feel anything (He kept on thinking its just my normal stomach movements/breathing, not baby )

As for the jeans - I went out at 10 weeks already (was bloated) and bought a pair of maternity jeans from Mr Price - been living in them since then - really nice, and CHEAP (only R79!!), can really recommend them.

I also got a "expander belt" from my sister, its just a piece of material, with an elastic - the elastic has a button on the one side, and a buttonhole on the other. You then wear your normal jeans with the zip open, and button this in the gap - really handy.

So jealous again hearing about all you scans, I'm going to the midwive now, no more scans for me until 36 weeks.

Well, guess its time for a photo update, this was taken yesterday - 25 weeks

(hope this works)

Morning ladies!

and finally the 25w mark is here...time is running out quick now!

my lil boyjie is sick - bronchitis and a work colleague just informed me he is not coming in, his lil one is hospitalised for measels ... another added worry for me...

we did not do much this weekend, only went for baby toiletry shopping...so the fun started....only realised ow how much there is to do!!!

ok so finally i can say i look pregnant...only downpart is my boobs and butt keep growing too...and i don't like it! took this pic earlier...

Morning girls!

Chanenay so glad your doctor's visit went well! Cant believe how quicklky time is going between scans these days.
Glad you spoke to your doctor re your last scan and the way they hurt you. Without feedback they wouldnt know these things.

Natsie, nice name Micah! And great that everything went well & that you like your gynae so much.

Sonja hope u feeling a bit better. Only 3 days till your scan.

Judes mom the pilates is great. I started it a few years back, but last year after my mc, I stopped going cos I couldnt face the chance of bursting into tears when asked about it. Took me a while to recover.
But it's the most brilliant exercise I could ever recommend, as it teaches you how to breath, posture, how not to exercise, and relax rather than tense muscles while exercising.
I like Scarlet

Robyn you are carrying beautifully! And clearly youre doing something right to look so good! I havent been able to wear normal jeans for about 3 months!

We still havent finalised our LG name yet. Its between Rei and Kaley (alternatively spelt Kaylee) but DH just doesnt want to decide. I really want Kaley but dont want to push him into it.

Shame last night while I was trying to sleep DH got into bed and lay with his hand on my tummy. Think he thought I was sleeping. But this little girl is so quiet the last few days that there was no chance she'd move. Eventually I had to ask him to move his hand as it was uncomfortable.
I hadnt realised how badly he wanted to feel her. So I hope she'll play nice and let him feel really soon!

Mina & Judes mom, I added you on facebook.
Mina glad you're doing better! I heard that the N1 city mr price has a nice selection of maternity clothes.

Seems a lot of us watching iron man this weekend. I'll be going tonight, as last night was fully booked except the 22:30 show.
We watched Men who stare at goats last night. Quite funny!

I am meant to go shopping today, clean house etc. But honestly I'm just exhausted and moody. Something up with our xbox, so I cant watch my series, and dstv pvr giving issues and so I cant watch any of the shows Ive recorded this week

Anyhoo, guess I must get something done, cant lay around all day even though thats all I want to do!
