PAMPERS JULY 2010

Hi Patty,

Surprises are so much fun, if I knew you got so many 3month onward clothing we could have swopped some cause I got about 2 dustbin bags full of newborn, but I went and exchanged most of it yesterday.

I believe that the sunlight soap is the best one, I didn't know and was told this morning to use sunlight soap, and I have already washed 1/2 of the clothes with Omo damn now I have to redu it.

On thank you gifts I just gave them chocolates with a note. Everyone seemed to be happy with that.

Morning ladies,

I am sick in bed - sniff, sniff. I feel so frot, and achy, had the worst nights rest ever last night, so have decided to spend the day in bed.

We had a lovely week end, glad the bulls won and then had my stork tea on Sunday afternoon, which was a real surprise. I really thought there would be something small around first week July, but Sunday afternoon - SURPRISE!! Hubby was so sweet, he arranged for the ladies to have High Tea at the 12 Apostels. I've never had high tea anywhere, but it was lovely and all the ladies said that felt so sophisticated and spoilt ( a real treat). Me a the baba got so spoilt, it was lovely.

I'm gonna catch up on everyone's new and then I'm getting back to bed:

Ash - so glad you are home and both of you are well. Follow Dr's orders and stay in bed, getting rest. Chloe is picking up on your fears, she is scared, cos you are. Shame man, the poor girl. I guess all you can do is constantly assure her that you are well, tell her that her brother is lazy and doesn't like it when you walk around too much, so you need to rest. You 2 can have nice cuddle sessions in bed and read stories to each other. Hope hubby's learnt how to cook, else nows the perfect time to start!!

Sindy - O Man that is too cute!! and so perfect!! so jealous - Hubby and I (well hubby mainly) have kinda decided not to have one, as we would have to pay the full amount. His opinion is that we're gonna meet her soon anyway... well if I could I would sneak off and have one done. I know if I told him I really wanted one, he would cave, but I also know he's right, we could spend the money on something more needed, but o my... when I hear you ladies having gone, or see the pics, they are all just too cute to resist!!

Mjabu - lovely looong week. B Day tomorrow - HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!

Newbie - people can be so unkind when they have personal agenda's, so sorry you are going through a hard time. I have been treated for depression and bi-polar for the last 4 years. I have also been off my meds for more than a year and being monitored and assisted by a great team. My psychologist has been great and met with her about 2 weeks ago (I suffered a bad case of Post Natal depression after Ethan, so we are watching me carefully), she wants me back on my meds for the last 4 weeks of my pregnancy and has explained the risks etc, so hubby and I need to make a decision, but the reason I am telling you all of this is basically to let you know that the risks of using anti depressants during the last trimester are minimal and if you discuss these with your health care professional and understand what they are, this may be a good option for you. Shame man. Look after yourself and take care.

OK ladies - hope I haven't left anyone out. I am gonna warm up in a nice hot bath (just bone cold at the moment) and then am going to crawl into bed!!

Have a fab day. Chat soon!!

I also had my surprise baby shower on Saturday, always thought it wil be in June had so much fun and lots of gifts. My sister & SIL really went al out to make it great. Then church ladies yesterday also surprised me, so we really partied this weekend. My LG is stil dancing now from al the stimulations.
Got so many fleece & receiving blankets, and most people bought clothes from 3months upwards, so need to get newborn babygrows for her.

Sindy u r strong to have washed and packed already. I just dumped everything in the nursery I'll sort it al out this week.
Which washing soap/detergent is the right one to wash baby clothes? Considering their sensitive skin!

Any ideas on thank-you gifts!?

Hallo Ladies,

Hope everyone is doing ok, I dont think I can postpone my ML till 1 July, might leave on 25/06 I'm so tired, dont think I'll survive till 1 July

Anyhow, better get started with my work if I plan on leaving on ML earlier

Morning ladies.
Hope u al had a marvelous & relaxing weekend.

Ash glad u r home, that must have been scary take it easy & u'l make it up to Chloe wen u r back on ur feet.

Newbie just count de days til ML then u won't have to deal with those people. Like Sindy said it's jealousy, so u must be doing something right.

Sindy that's great, u must have had a great time. It's good u exchanged de newborn clothes cos they outgrow them so quickly.

Juandre how was ur weekend away? Hope u had a great time

this chilly weather in JHB is good to stay in bed (or indoors atleast).

Have a great day, "The Day" is drawing closer. . .

Hallo Ladies,

Hope everyone had a good weekend. Babyshower yesterday was great got so many gifts, especially newborn clothing, so this morning DH and I had to go and exchange some of the clothing for 3-6 months or it would just be such a waste. Now I'm busy washing everything and feel like death warmed up. I haven't really slept much in the last 2 days, starting to get really nervous about the arrival of my LB.

Newbie: Shame girl, people can be so horrible, please dont let them effect you, it's just jealousy from their side, you'll be on ML soon then they can all go to hell.

Ash: please take it easy I'm constantly thinking of you. I agree you have all the right to be a pain now, and if it means that being a pain puts your mind at ease then so be it.

hello ladies,

well i am feeking ok i guess just now nervous more etc cos u just dont know whats normal and whats not
also dye to feel baby move, i am hoping to make a app again for tue or so, like i said to my MIL, i dont care now if i become a pain, i am paying them for me to be a pain LOL.

Ladies u know the one sister said that we could of lost him its was the worst feeling ever...
but i am sure all is well now i just have a bit of pain etc still but also dont know if its all due to stress.

I love all u guys 4d pics, they just so sweet!!
well i am on strict bed rest, not even allowed to cook let alone take chloe to school, so hubby goes back to work tomorrow and chloe at school and must admitt that she hasnt handled this very well, i can see it in her attitude and there nothing i can do, cos we usually so close, lovable, play all the time etc and now i am confined to my bed.... anyways let me not stress about that..

cant wait to call the gyne tomorrow and get another appointment.

i wont have access to the net til hubby's home next week so ladies have a great week and newbie plse thats how i started as well too much people and their negativity affecting me, its not worth it. try just shrug it off at least till after baby here...

Ladies take care and look after yourselves
