Feb-May 2011 Mommies

Congratulations Jessica on the birth of Riley !!! Well done Mama, what a lovely big baby and I agree such gorgeous cheeks.

Thanks for the update Vix.

Tazzy will be watching tomorrow to see the first little team pinks arrival. Take care hun and enjoy her!

Kimika - you can express milk and then use a med dropper or sterile syringe to drop a little into the nose ..... that is what my midwife told us. Will try do some pics this weekend...... need to finish it first!! You are 100% right Tessa is very active all the time. She is so responsive to touch etc. She claps me big time whenever my DH talks to her, I can feel her excitement, it is too cute. I can feel she is bigger too, so I guess by now she is over 3kg. I am living for the 11 march when I see the gynae and get my date !!!!! The suspense is killing me.

Jessica well done love!! A lovely size! I am so glad I'm not the only women in the word who produces big babies

Cath he is so cute!!

Sorry ladies I really cant do any other personals, far too hot for me to think today. Hopefully cooler tomorrow...

CT moms cannot wait to meet you all on Sat!!

Awwwww Cath, your baby is just too cute!!! No wonder you are such a proud mommy! Are you still just expressing or are you doing normal BF too?

Meags thanks for posting the pics and good luck at the midwife! Holding thumbs for some news for you!!

Almost home time for me thank goodness! I've really been melting in this office again today! Hubby said it was 42.5 degrees outside earlier! Heat wave indeed!! Pleeeeeez can we have some rain?!!! They said we might have some over the weekend so I just hope it materialises!

hi ladies

will catch up later
schatsie - leaving for the midwife in 25 minutes.
we are 7 hours behind u so its 8:35 now.

here are the pics from Cath of her precious angel

Kimika, oh my word, so having your baby has NOT cured the broodiness?! I was thinking (hoping) that I might finally stop being so damn broody once my baby is here. It seems to get worse by the day and with every new baby from our thread being born! I want my baby NOW!!! Another 7.5 wks to go! SIGH!

LOL Joli re Callum's fart and spoiling him! And PHEW a 18cm cut!! That's hectic! I heard that it should be about 10 cm max and Callum wasn't all that big either, so goodness only knows why the cut is so huge!! Could it really be because it was an emergency C sec as opposed to planned?

Thanks for reminding me, I still need to get some baby nail clippers.

Meags, any news from the midwife yet? Or what time is it there now? How many hours are you behind us? About 12?

Tazzy - good luck for tomorrow. All will be fine and I'm so excited for a little girl to be welcomed .

Cath - wanted to say thank you for the nice message you typed for me earlier in the thread re my c-section. Made me feel much better about it all. Must say I'm starting to feel human again and the pain is nearly all gone . I think you said your cut is very tiny, so I measured mine and it's 18 cm.

Meags - re those triplets - the baby would have been about 3 months or so when she fell pregnant again cause the triplets were most probably prem. But ya I'm very curious.

Ok so re my sore boob - cause I kept putting Callum on that boob to empty it - which worked! - my right boob is now HUGE compared to the other one LOL. Just a tip ladies - as soon as you can feel a lump / pain in your boob, you need to get rid of it as mastitis is VERY SORE - not as sore as a c-section, but more sore than natural birth - or my version anyways he he. You need to massage the lump in circular movements and kept feeding or expressing and put warm facecloths on to drain the duct.

Callum farted so loud while I was holding him earllier - was glad here was no one around cause they wouldn't believe that it was him!! And I think it's too cute when he grabs my boob LOL.

I think Callum has been spoiled already. As soon as I put him in his cot, he wakes up and then I put him back in our bed, then he sleeps! So now I'm just leaving him there - better to feed him as well - just throw out a boob and snooze away while he's feeding he he.

I've cut his nails twice already - with one of those mini nail clippers.

Kimika I was thinking the same re Jess and VBAC - glad she didn't go ahead. Oh my goodness - imagine pushing out a 4kg + baby!

Ok so it's Tazzy next and then Karin and then????

Ag Tazzy man.. Im so excited for you now Cant wait to see little Amelia's cutie smoochy woochy face

I cant believe how broody I am!!!!!!!!!!!! Ill always be the first to say I dont get broody over newborns but Ive never been so broody as Ive been the last few days... I guess its because my little angel is such a good boy? I just wanna hold and fuss over newborns. Im so excited every time Reuben wakes up just to kiss his little face. Aii!! LOL
