Feb-May 2011 Mommies

Meags - I had such a good chuckle about me and the BH, nothing since this am - I promise I will be after you for sure Well done on making the lasagne - only a few more dishes to go - you are so organised! lovely photo of H-Buzz's baba BTW your tummy has dropped...

Kimika - The BH was a bit scary, but I was like no its not it you have to bake some more (and especially not 1am lol) nothing again so total false alarm.

Tazzy - cytotech is horrible - shame man I hope the pain subsides soon, scary about the clot...

Just got back from a great lunch with a friend and her mom - they spoilt me so much and bought a whole bunch of goodies - yay! I even got a turtle constellation night light - so cute - chat later ladies

schatsie some are born with blonde hair...but yes dark hair seems to be quite common.

i was born black hair and now blonde. dh born blonde hair now dark brown!

Schatsie, dark hair is deffinitely more common, even for people who end up being blonde. I had a little blondie. Will look for pic now.

apparently EmsMom just had the baby!!!!!!
It's a girl!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey girls, am I really dof or are all babies born with dark hair and I only noticed this now? I can't think that any of the babies born on our thread so far had light hair and come to think of it, I was at the hospital when my youngest sister was born and she had black hair, although we are all blonde!

Thanks Schatsie

Here is a pic of H-buzz's baby

argh .. I have to hang my laundry (still crumpled up in machine) but cant seem to get to it and now I just have to check for an update on Emsmom

Emsmom, I think its great that you were sent home. Much better than being induced to rush things along. Let your body do what it wants in its own time.. rather a slow labour over a few days, then the last bit will go by quickly. Did you see how much your surges measured on the monitor? And how regularly are they coming and for how long? Sorry for all the q's but Im just so curious!! I looove the process of labor and every women's is different so I love to get details.. plus we dont have that many natural / labor stories going around and I just love the drama Good luck and ENJOY!!! xxx

Tazzy, Ive put the whole fussyness over teats to the shape of their mouths.. the breastfeeding lady did comment on my kids having short tongues and chins and they havent got those loose lips like most babies She said NUK dummies are not ideal as they are too long and that pigeon dummies are best.. so I went out and bought the pigeon one which R refuses!!?? So the result is : NUK dummy and Pigeon bottles.. that is soo strange!!

About the clot.. let us know what he says. I had to take cycotec after first boy was born and eish.. it is hectic!! I know she popped me some right after R was born but didnt really notice them. What is strange this time is that Ive had much less bleeding in general, but she said its because the placenta came away nicely. It stopped at about 2wks but then kept coming in bits every 4th day or so.. didnt really bother me as it was not fresh/red blood. But now a few days ago I got fresh blood again and then again last night? It is strange.. hubby says I must phone or go see gynae but I dont know if its not just normal.. really dont want to pay another R500 just to be told its normal. Anyone else have comments on this???

Meags, wow on all that cooking .. or should I say good luck with the list of all you have to cook!! But believe me, if you get all that done you will spare yourself lots of hassles once baby is there!

I never really felt the pressure from my babas engaging.. maybe Im just not observant enough? Each time gynae had to tell me. I could notice the drop in my belly though. And I could feel the shooting pains as they press on the cervix but in general not the engaging. Your belly does look lower but it could be that your muscles are just not pulled in as much as in the first pic?
