August-September 2010 Moms

aww thanks guys! Havent told anyone yet because i don't really believe the preg test... even though it was two solid dark lines, and i seem to have mild morning sickness and evening heartburn... Punishment for the smooth sailing on the first PG i guess. So glat to have someone to tell!

Cols - I have tried everytrhing with the hair washing.... i think i am just going to need to let it pass... at the moment i fill the bath quite a bit and tell her to lie on her tummy... she then arces her back and puts the back of her head in the water. I just have to splash up to get the top a bit.

I really thought by now your turn for the BFP would have come. Shame you are still really struggling with TTC. How many more attempts before you try AI? Is that still an option?

K Is still sadly on the dummy... only at home, but never the less... but we only have the one dummy floating around so when she looses it, then it is gone... she also got two superstars again yesterday for weeing in the potty at creche. Unfortunately came home and wet the floor, but progress is progress.

Good Luck with the new Boss!

Phew Joybaby... looks like you may be birthing your baby in the office then... LOL. Shame hun, you must really need the rest though i remember how exhausted i was at that late stage and i didn't have a toddler running around, i could go home and just sleep.

Robyn you are almost there now... you must be really excited! have you tried contacting a lawyer about the troubles... i know my company has an estates department here and while we do charge a large fee, we do deal with all that kind of Sh!t.

Hi ladies
well, I've been on leave for just over a week now and I've yet to start relaxing!
Plus I was sick on Thurs & Fri - not fun
But now my bags are all packed and ready, all baby's things are in the compactum - just need to clean her room abit

Went for my 38wk check today - McK is just over 3kg but she still has loads of room and fluid to play and grow, so doc says she could def stay longer - but you never know) My gynae is going on leave 1-7 Oct and my EDD is the 8th ( ) so she's given me her earliest appt the first day she's back (due date)
She's still extremely active - even during the scan, she was rolling around (gave doc the run-around!)
In total I'v picked up 14kgs
It's been about 3 weeks since my Dad passed and it's still not real to me - keep looking for him/wanting to ask him things etc and my Mom is going thru hell with all the Will/Lawyers sh!t (she has to pay off the house immediately plus SARS wants 20% of the estate but it can take up to a year to get the enheritance sorted !!!

Anyway, will keep you posted on any progressa

KERRY

What awesome news hun!!!
Yes I would say 8 weeks is a good time for a first scan as baby is already moving about and can be seen easily.

Hey everyone else.
Will catch up properly soon I promise.
Was meant to start maternity on Friday but their temp has bailed and have asked if I can work next week if I'm feeling up to it.

hey girls,

how're you all holding up?

Robin, I am so sorry to hear about your dad :'( I am glad your DH has been so supportive and helpful. Some bosses are just asses, my boss made me work the day my gran passed (she was a mother to me)... I am sure you cannot wait to meet your sweet baby girl. How is your mom? How's the new house?

Kerry, CONGRATULATIONS!!! I hope you have a safe and healthy 9 months! Re: Hairwashing, do you make her lie back? I find it is far easier to keep even sitting and just shield his eyes when I rinse...

PM hows studying, Gym, kids and all that craziness coming along? Evan's thankfully also off his dummy

Flowergirl, looks like you had a great time with Em's party. She is looking so grown up! How's your UTI? I hope it clears soon! When will you start TTC? Em really sounds like such a sweetheart!

BabyK, how have you been? Wow, thats crazy... I dont think i could ever study medicine Studyings going hard, I write in 3 weeks and am so not ready I get up at 4am to study, it's the only time I get... Works still ok. How's it your side? We must still meet up!

AFM, Still TTC, round 2 on the gonal injections. Had to skip last month because of a cyst. The 1st dose on this round had zero effect, had to double the dose. Had my scan today and have 2 healthy folicles, 2 more days of these jabs, then the trigger shot and then BD like crazy until Tueday and then I start the progesterone. Nothing romantic about it but hey, what ever it takes

Evan's been off the dummy for about a month now - sometimes I miss it but overall I am so glad it's over. He dropped it in 3 days.

My brother was in a very bad accident on his scooter. Came off second best against a Pajero... No proper medical aid, just hospital insurance. It was a total palava but it's sorted now... He should be out of hospital tomorrow, God willing and then his long road to recovery begins. His whole left side is broken.

I have a new boss as mine is leaving on Friday and I have been studying for exams in 3 weeks time.

It's just been so long since I've read updates and then I saw Kerry's AWESOME news I had to come say HELLO

THANKS!!!!

Congratulations Kerry!!!!!!!

Murpheys law huh... the month we make the appointment to see the Doc, we didn't even keep track of O day, but somehow this would be the month i get pregnant YAAYYY got a very very dark BFP yesterday afternoon and been feeling very mild morning sickness for at least a week now....

Guess i had better postpone my appointment for next tuesday, till 8 weeks if i am not mistaken?

Robyn you must be nearly there now? Hope you are feeling better? Glad your DH was so involved

Flowergirl, hope the UTI is gone by now? and How is school going?

Kaelyn came home yesterday all starred up! She got two stars for winning challenges in her tots-in-teams and then two more for Watering the potty... such a proud mommy!
