PAMPERS JULY 2010

Newbie - thanks for sharing the pictures. Looks like you got really spoilt and had fun. That so great. Was it a surprise? You look lovely and preggy and glowing, so great!! Its almost over, enjoy, enjoy, enjoy!!!!

Morning ladies,

Quite a bit to catch up on. I was up at 2am this morning with a crampy upset tummy and a son with the same - shame they get so frantic and panicy. He can charging into our room, holding his bum and panicy that he was gonna poo in his pants, ran to our loo and exploded. Is there a tummy bug going around? Can't think that its something we ate, cos then hubby would be ill too? Any way, gave Ethan meds this morning and he is right as rain, but cos I couldn't take anything I am nauseas and crampy still, so decided to spend the day in bed.

Sindy - I must admit I gained almost nothing through my pregnancy with Ethan, until the end. I picked up like 12kgs in the last few weeks. The good news is that you loose it, quicker than you gained it. I lost 14kgs in the first 2 weeks after having Ethan, so don't despair too much.

Patty - you've been a little quite lately. Glad to see you are still ok. sorry to hear about the heart burn!

Ash - Don't think I need to commnent, think I have been quite vocal about being tempremental and irratable, so ja I completely agree with you on this one!

Newbie - sounds like hubby really spoilt you, thats awesome! Would love to see your pictures when you get them, the photographers style and angles look so complimentary on all her pictures, I'm sure yours will be AWESOME!!
I know I am a fine one to talk, as I started the whole hate hospitals thing here, but don't worry about the c-section, or epi. It is really so fine and almost painless, there is absolutely nothing too stress about. If you are really worried about something, post it here (even if you think it may be silly), i'm sure as a first time mom you have a lot of questions, we can then answer and maybe that will make you feel better and less anxious. (Knowledge is power- they say)

Patty - I also thought about trying for natural after my last c-section, but after doing some research I have decided against it. Good luck with your decision. I think it must be awesome to be able to say that you have experianced natural and its something that I really wish I would have been able to say, but alas its not too be and I need to make peace with that.

OK ladies, gonna climb back into bed.

Have a great day all!!

Chat soon

Some pics of the baby shower, eek felt like a whale.

awe newbie looking forward to seeing those pics and of ure baby shower
I am planning my own little shower, as i dont have anyone to do it for me, but just a small group only 10 ladies but its fine, any excuse for a party and a chat and that will be the 5th Jube.
at least it gives me something to plan and keep me awake at my desk

Ashbabe its really irritating that people feel so free giving advice/their opinions just because we are pregnant. Im on the verge of giving a mean response one of these days.

SindyD re last night's video, they get worse every week. that woman is brave having her vajayjay filmed like that

mjabu - sorry to hear about ur high sugar, if I could give some advice, just speak to your dr,my gynea said to me I mustnt search things on the internet as they are not always trustworthy peices of info. People who fell preggies with diabetes, have healthy children, they just need to watch their weight gain during pregnancy.

ashbabe - sorry to hear about ur hubby. Maybe he is stressed at work. My hubby is lazy but more when it comes to cleaning and doing DIY stuff, never cooking. I suppose I am lucky that he cooks most nights.. He has really been great. Perhaps just sit ur hubby down and have a chat, there may be more to it than just being grumpy. I think all of our emotions are running high. Hope it gets better soon

vickyvdw - I hope the class becomes a little more interesting, but I hear what you are saying. As for feeling uneasy, I am also starting to a bit, having nightmares about the birth or c-section, I am becoming really scarred. As for aches and pains, I have huge back ache and also my stomach feels so so heavey, like its going to pop, it hurts.. No cramps or anything. I am also waking up like 10 times a night to pee and cant get comfortable. Boobs feel huge and in the way.. Not sure if this is all part and parcel of pregnancy..

Sindy_D - we have great hubbies actualy, my hubby will make me coffee or tea every morning and mostly always cooks.. Hopefully the class will lighten up.. lol, we will see tommorow.. haha, hubby said perhaps its better in afrikaans, that way he has a good chance of staying awake and paying attention,... lol

Well ladies forgot to wish u all a happy mothers day or a happy mommy-to-be day.. I got breakfast in bed and taken out for lunch.. Also hubby spoilt me with a nice massage...

Sindy - I have about 10 weeks to go now as I might be having a c-section... so exciting

Patty - shame were u traumatised by the birth video. Hope it wasnt too bad, and u get over it soon, lol..

Sindy_D - shame about ur UTI, feel better soon..

Jo_C - I am going for my scan on the 18 May, at 22 weeks, she was a whopping 1.4kgs, so scarred to see what she might be now at my 30 week scan, eeek.. I also am terrified of hospitals, really having nightmares already of the epidural for c-section (as I might not be doing natural anymore becuase of keliod scarring). I dont know how I am going to get over this fear...haha plates magically cleaning themselves, lol.. I have a great hubby, however I know how u feel as he does the same thing when it comes to cleaning.. lol

KC_1 - happy 30 weeks, I am also terrified baby is coming early... eeek. When are you stopping ur travels..

Juandre_N - keep us posted on going natural or c-section. I am still in two minds, however I am leaning more toward c-section.. eeek especially if baby is so big already.. Might be bigger than Jo_C's LG, will keep u posted.

Sindy_D - u might be carrying water, I must admit I am too scarred to weigh myself.. I havent for about 3 weeks.. eek.. already was at 89,6kgs three weeks ago.. Might do it tommorow.

Anyhow girls, went for my maternity photo shoot on Sat, it was good. Felt a bit weird and uncomfortable, but hubby said he was watching me and thought I was the sexiest mommy alive.. haha.. We had a good chuckle.. I will post the pics as soon as I recieve them, will only be in about 4 weeks time.

Anyhow will post some of my baby shower, finally got them loaded.. I feel that I look like a blob... oh well,time to let go...

Have a super day ladies

SIndy, try not stress about it and do something after the baby is born.
when i go to the gyne i cant see what my weight is and she marks it down and doesnt even tell me, i dont wanna know.
i feel that i dont wanna sit and stress over the weigh issue anymore its only 11 weeks left and baby will be here so why start stressing now over something that happens to pregnant ladies.

I am just so pissed, i mean does being pregnant honestly mean that i am open to people and there dam comments, i am sos sick of people feeling that they can comment cos i am pregnant and its just driving me insane, i feel like saying to them cos u ugly can i comment on that??? OMG makes me so ANGRY!!! stupid people!

I am also waking up with pins and needles esp in my right arm and i thought maybe i was sleeping funny, now i see its part of being pregnant right??? is it normal cos it happens alot!

I so cant wait to finish work, they havent even told me whats happening with a temp for my posistion nothing so when i am off i am off hubby said that i must change my phoen number while i am on leave i said also remember i am in zim for 3months so toughies bananas for them!
