August-September 2010 Moms

Girly - So glad that DH got to feel Kaylee Have you settled on the name now? Kaylee is really pretty

Antenatal Classes - do you have a contact number? Have you booked already? When are you going? Maybe we can go together? I thought it would be more than R600 - think I will go after all, probably be nice for DH too

Morning ladies

Gotta be quick. Busy day which I'm thankful for.

Nikki wow thats so hectic! I feel so violated when people break in and take things out of my space! And through baby's room too, that's just awful!
Glad you are coping well through it and thinking of your baby.
I am really bad when it comes to handling stress. These days anything tips me off and I know it's not good.

Glad to hear that everything is fine with you and baba. I think we're nearing the stage where our bodies start struggling with the weight of the baby. I also had major dizziness one day last week and it was a bit scary for me! And on Sunday major cramps in my uteris it was rather worrying.

Charnenay shame hun! You must really take it easy a bit. Listen to your body about the pains and aches, and be antisocial, except for tonight Hope you enjoy your time alone with hubby
Re. the antenatal classes - I've attended before and highly recommend it esp for your first. And its especially helpful for DH when the big day comes.
Also usually they extend a bit into breastfeeding, and the first time baby is back home etc. And the one I'm doing they do CPR too. And for R660 it's not bad.
Justine at Panorama is highly recommended if you consider it.

Maternity leave - I am waiting for my boss to settle back after his board meeting last week, as they wouldve addressed this then. I am girl alone in Cape Town office, so they have to decide how my work will be covered. We will have the issue of child minders / day cares being closed till Mid Jan. So I have to take annual leave for 1- 13 Jan or so. And hope to take annual leave from about 10th Aug until baby arrives...

So last night DH FINALLY got to feel Kaylee move!!! He had the hugest smile on his face afterwards, it was so sweet!

Hi ladies - 27 weeks today and my back is killing me I had to take the day off last Friday because I just could not get myself out of bed. The cramps in my back and legs are getting so bad. Other than that, baby and I are doing great - LG decided to lie with her feet directly on my bladder and doctor says she can see how she is using my bladder as a trampoline gets quite painful at times, but almost a "funny" pain because I know what she is doing, so it makes me laugh. DH's bday today, so we are going out for dinner - just the 2 of us - I told him I wanted us to spend the evening alone since next bday's for both of us will be with kiddies Also not in the mood to have people over for dinner or cake, because I am way too tired to play hostess after work now!
Nikki - so so sorry to hear about your home being broken into, that's not a nice thing
Girly, not sure if I am going to do antenatal classes???? What about the rest of the ladies, are you going to do it?? I am in 2 minds
Blessed - Enjoy the 4D and definitely post pics!!!
JudesMOM - sorry to hear about your bad experience with your appt. sounds like your dr. was having a bad day - hopefully next time you see him, he is in a better mood - if not, definitely chat to him about how he is making you feel.

Maternity Leave - Ladies, any of you decided on when and for how long you will be going on maternity leave? I am planning on going from 15 July and back first week in January, but not sure if I am going to make it until then - I am so uncomfortable already.

Hi Ladies,

Its been a while, baby has been quite busy lately the kick are much stronger i went to see Clash of the Titans on Friday he could stop i think the sound was loud for him, i so wanted to see Iron Man but DH had not seen Titans this coming weekend we will go see Iron Man. My energy level are now way up i am loving it no more feeling sleepy whole day and the chores are eaier. Counting the weeks till my maternity leave, still deciding on a name for baba i think we might go with Fayaz i like unique names.Keep well ladies

Hi All, sounds like everyone had a lovely weekend.

Natsie, i hope you feel better, i was also sick last week and a full day in bed did the trick.

Judesmom - sorry to hear about your experience, you should really consider changing if you are not 100% with your gynae - I did and and am so glad i did. My new gynae is always re-assuring and makes me feel relaxed and at ease.

Girly - i added you on FB. Good luck with your scan.

I had a bit of a scare last week Thursday - got to work and was all weak and woozy - had incredible pain down my sides and lower belly. Was beginning to panic and called gyane and they told me to come in straight away. It turned out all fine, the dizziness was from the flu bug i caught in DBN and the pain was just my LG growing and pushing against everything. In two weeks she went from600g to 1.1kg! Gynae told me i'm going to have a big baba and to watch my weight.

It was such a relief for me after that, but that got home to find out that our house was broken into! They broke into the baby's room through the window and took the plasma screen, digital cameras, my rings, electronic equipment. I am so angry that they could violate my home like that.

Anyway, over it now - dont want to get too stressed and worked up because of the baby.

Its been a long day, heading off for home now.

Hiya

Lunch break - Ek's nou sooo moeg!

Natsie sorry you been sick. You must take it easy and get your gynae to book you off if need be. But I know how it is, work doesnt get done if I stay off so I rather work, but I really feel like I need a break!

Thanks re the pants at Edgars. I was there 2 weeks ago and didnt see anything other than the black pair I already have. Will def check it out though.

Blessed hey friend. nice to see you here
Thanks for the encouragement re the movements.
Kaylee is rather quiet but she gives a few reassuring kicks here and there.
I think she has hickups at the moment. Such a weird feeling!

Anyone started / booked for Antenatal classes yet?
I feel like there's more I should be doing to prepare but my mind is so full of info that I dont even know where to start with it!
