Feb-May 2011 Mommies

Hey girls

Hope most of you are having a good weekend so far!

Meags sorry that you are in so much pain and that while being alone!

Emsmom, I was also thinking it's going to be really funny next week with us 5 preggy fairies at M&B. Guess it will be easy to recognise each other with our common feature!

No news from KarinM? Hope she didn't go into labour without letting us know.

AFM I had a horrible night, was very uncomfortable and had to get up to go to the loo 5 times. So this morning I was SO not in the mood to get up and DH let me sleep until 12 & then brought me breakfast in bed. Shame then I got up and was in the foulest mood and picked a silly fight with him! I really am super hormonal and moody lately! I did apologise to him afterwards, poor hubby!

We were supposed to go to a braai 2nite but I'm really in no mood for people, so I cancelled. So we're just spending some quiet time at home and I've spent most of the day doing cross stitch and watching TV series episodes.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend!

Faw the hardness is just braxton hicks - so I'm not concernced about that. It's the tenderness and the pain as even without a BH my tummy is hurting

Meags i have the hardness all the time so i think its normal. Very uncomfy tho. I hope your dad skypes you soon and you can get some sleep.
My mom is out for the day and the carer is here looking after my dad. My son is chomping on flings and im dying of heat. Better go hang up the washing for my mom

oi oi oi...I dunno how much more of this I can handle!

So only fell asleep just before 1am. and between then at 3:40am I had to wee twice. The my dad called at 3:40am to chat!!!! Think he forgot the time difference. Anyway I told him to rather skype as I get charged for calls so he said he'll be home in 20 minutes...well 45 minutes later I am still sitting here waiting

When I got up to come skype, my tummy was rock hard and so so sore. Still got that excruciating rib pain and my whole bump is tender and aching Problem is - I dont have the midwife's number. Only the office number and there's only an option to speak to someone in an emergency. Dont really think this is an emergency - but would have been helpful to be able to ask her about it.
Bring on Tuesday's appointment!!

Hey ladies

How is everyone?

Cath, you seem to be doing so wonderfully! Its really great to see moms slotting into the baby thing with such ease

Karin I'm with Meags, I'll be very surprised if you make it to your c-section date - but I agree with your Dr, its nice to go into labour first, so you know your little girl is 100% ready to join the world. But really hope you get some better nights sleep soon.

Betty - my sister moes to Aus last year, but is getting married this year in CT and has planned her trip to be here for the birth and to do wedding planning. She hasn't even seen me pregnant yet. Been strange cause we are a very close family. We are def still on for next Sat! We may just scare the staff, 5 heavy pregnant ladies sitting together

Tazzy you must be so excited! What are you doing this week-end? Just spending it with DH and hannah?

joli, please keep posting pics, Callum is such an Anne Giddies baby, far too cute!

Schatsie, I'm glad that you're going for the shoot with Abby! She is really fab!
We live so close to Clara Anna Fontein, its really stunning and a great place to have functions, I'm sure you'll love it!

Meags I'm really glad Dh opened up about his stress, and I hope that he does something about it. His work must simply understand, family is first.
its what I'm so gratefull about with Mat's work - they are very family orientated and we've never had an issue with them in that regard.

Kimika, please post some pics! Doesn't matter if its of him sleeping in his cot!

Faw, dont worry to much about the "due date" as you learn in hypnobirthing we call them guess dates - cause babies dont actually stick to what Dr's say, they have a 5w gap and will come when they want to.

Well yesterday was hectic for me, I was so sure I was actually going to go into labour. I went shopping for a new dress - 4 hours of walking around later - I was in serious pain, cramping and my friend actually asking me if she needed to take me to hospital. I did manage to find summer button down PJ"s at Edgars though and a new dress.
Then my dad called for me to please go help him with prep for his shoot, so had to go there. By the time I got home I felt broken, my BH were hectic and sore and I was light headed and really not happy. And we still had friends around last night. Anyways at least I'm feeling better today, have another busy day, but hopefully I wont be as sore.
I also now am a bit upset that my family have left it so late to have my baby shower seeing that I have nothing for this baby if he comes early! And the fact I'll have to be shopping for last min things while very pregnant.

Anyways, better get off and get ready for the day.

Hugs to you all.

morning ladies!

And so the count down begins.......(cue the theme song to Jaws - LOL)

3 more nights and there I'm on the slab!

I'm guessing the birthweight between 3.6 & 4kg's - according to the gynae scan on wednesday Riley weighed around 4.4kg according to that machine thing but I'm working on a max of 4kg's - if he's more I'll be very surprised.

Have a awesome weekend everyone!

Morning.
Meags the hospital has all my ultra sounds from 12 weeks. I am quite small and have decided to hell with them. I won't stress and baby will come when he is ready. As long as there is movement i won't stress.
The rest of my day was lovely and i had a great time with a friend of mine and got home at 6pm.
My son was driving everyone mad yesterday, but if my mom had stood back and looked at him when he refused to eat she could have figured that he was probably teething. He is 22 months and still needs four teeth at the back. Poor child was in pain all day long and everyones nerves were shot.
Hubby sms'd asking me for a date. I emailed him very late last night and told him ill see him at the mjc. He has also sent a friend request on fb. I didn't need to think twice. Lol. I ignored it. Please those of you who would like to invite me can do so. Im martine Farha ismail.
Today im chilling at home with my son. He has already made a huge mess with toys and clothes. I just love it.
