Feb-May 2011 Mommies

OK, so it sounds like Jessica is definitely next, followed by Tazzy? Unless Faw pops early because of all the stress...

AFM, I'm REALLY battling with the back and pelvis aches. Shame, DH insisted on massaging my back and neck twice last night. He feels so helpless, seeing me in pain and wishing he could do something to help me. I can't even get up from my chair or bed or turn in bed without wanting to scream from the pain!

DH wants a 2nd baby, but I honestly don't know if I'll ever want to be pregnant again with all this pain I'm having! It really is excruciating and I've had it since my 2nd month already!

karin, I'm actually so glad you had it first, or I would have thought I was crazy.. it also happens when I'm still and baby moves alot - but at the top of my bump

Tell me about the sleep! I feel I dont get more than 1 hour at a time, before I need to get up, go to loo, strech my bones a bit. Its so uncomfy now, but all for a good cause and not too long to go.

Well I actually dont drink wine - so I'm ok there - My hubby will have though

Emsmom - Yeah! So glad I'm not nutty after all... LOL.
Yes, those clicking sounds are so weird, but I get them so often now that I'm really used to it, it has also increased quite a bit. And it happens mostly when she moves around a lot. Still trying to figure out if its baby or my uterus or what...
Doing okay otherwise, just sleep deprived, so uncomfortable I can't get a position that just let me fall asleep easily. Also having lots of discharge... wearing a liner now all the time.

So cool about the picnic you are going to have!! It sounds divine! A pity you won't be having wine though, , but next year you can! Hope you have lovely weather and a wonderful time.
Also congrats on your hubby's birthday this weekend, hope you going to have lots of fun.

Morning all,

Meags - Sjoe-ieee! That is soo darn expensive!! Wow... my photo shoot cost me R300 (she emailed me 150 photo's, not big size though, smaller size, but stilll great quality, I mean, you saw it) and then I had to buy a minimum of 10 prints that cheapest is R18 each (Jumbo). I bought about 15 prints of R400.
I mean... really... that is sooo cheap in comparison to your photographer!! She's ripping people off big time I think.
Oh wanted to ask.... is M lying breach?? Why I'm asking is the rib pain you have. My SIL baby girl was breach the whole time and she had horrible rib pain because the head keeps getting stuck there.

Betty - Great about baby's growth and weight! Sjoe, exciting about the VBAC... praying all will go great for you.

Tazzy - I'm very jealous... you are actually a few days behind me and will have your baby before me!

Faw - Man, the problems you have to cope with now! Its so unfair and I hope you will have it over with really soon!
Oh boy about the contractions!! Remember stress is a big culprit of bringing on early labour... try to have a relaxing day if you can.
Keep us updated!

Jessica - Jeepers... so jealous of you too!! If my gynea wasn't so strict I would also have had my c-section next week Monday/ Tuesday at just over 38 weeks... (sigh) Oh well, will just have to wait a week longer than you.
Good luck!! Soon, soon!! Your last weekend with baba in belly then!

Howdy ladies

How is everyone today?
I must say I'm feeling much more alive now that its cooler. Hope it lasts

Sorry can't really remember personals, but I'll try.

Not sure who mentioned the whole dont keep the room warm thing - keep the baby warm - just wanted to give you some old mom advice - you cannot keep a baby warm while bathing and changing - so best warm the room up for bath times - otherwise your baby will scream the entire time.

Cath, William is SO cute! And honestly if you dont want to give formula then dont - I personally would ask that pead where the hell she got her degree -cause clearly she knows nothing. And I also found the breastfeeding nurses nasty as all hell. Keep up the good work with him!

Betty, I hope you get the vbac you would like

Tazzy, not long now!!

Jessica, so so soon! Good luck and have a fab week-end

meags, yes if you convert into rands the photos are pricey, but you cant keep converting, you are now living there and earning in $, so everything will even out eventually.

Karin, jsut had to tell you - I'm also getting that clicking noise when baby moves now! Its so strange, you can hear it and almost feel it!
How are you otherwise?

Faw, I really hope things come right with you soon - you need to relax and at the same time stay strong.

Sorry I cant remember anything else, I really need more sleep than I'm getting, but anyways.

Its DH's birthday this week-end and Sat we're having his party, then Sunday the 3 of us are going to the winefarm where we got married to have a picnic - they have family sundays - and arrange a ton of activities for the little ones, and do big picnic spreads. So looking forward to that.

So you think we'll get any babies this week-end?

Hugs to all!

hi ladies,

Well its done - my c-sec is booked for 1 March @ 07h00. Gynae is estimating the birth weight around the 4kg mark but lets see when he's here what he weighs.

So what have I missed?

Shame faw- try to relax today, what about trying some rescue remedy. I have never taken it, but have heard that it's safe and is for anxiety. Have any of the other ladies taken this?
The MJC divorce is interesting, thanks for letting me know the process. Sounds like they have to grant you the divorce because of what he said. Big hugs and stay strong.

Tazzy- hope ur sleep was more comfortable.

Meags - hope you meet some great ladies that can be wonderful friends for you there.

Have a wonderful day everyone!
