Hi girls.
Thanks meags i got into bed and the contracts became real ones... Oh my. But i managed to remain calm and go to sleep. Im up again now and they seem to have stopped. But the contractions were in my back and my front. And then at one stage i had cramps in my legs and my tummy and i was thinking, oh heck what do i do?! Lol. Anyway. So ill go to work and see what happens. But yes its still a bit early for baby to arrive and my bags are not packed. I thought that i better get out of bed and pack them, but was too tired and slept. So i hope they stay away. And baby better not arrive on 28 feb cos thats the date my soon to be ex and i started dating.

Faw sorry about that experience with your soon to be EX DH. try lie in a warm bath and relax...you dont want baby coming now!
As for the photos - I cant copy and paste them at all. She has a protection over them so there is no way for me to put them on a memory stick. She has them on her website under protection...so ya...gonna have to pay!

Betty there are two waYS a muslim can get divorced. I had to go to the mjc and say i wanted my marriage annulled. Then there is a long process and finally i have to appear in their court and they decide if it gets annulled. The other way the husband tells his wife he divorces her and signs certain papers and then they are divorced. I started the annullment and then in a rage my husband told me he divorces me. Even though he was in a rage the words remain. Even if he refuses to sign the papers when my son is born i will be considered divorced.
My husband can request another chance with me, but its my right to say no and then request the annullment again. I hope that this makes sense. Your message didn't shoW up til i sent my history lesson.

Me Again!!
Kimika I was secretly hoping that there was money in the envelope to be honest, but there wasn’t… DAMN!! LOL!!! It was a letter stating his feelings and how he wants us to start over and show me he is a changed man blah, blah, blah fish paste. And how he wants to raise our children together etc etc. I have kept the letter, but to me its just words. It breaks my heart that things haven’t worked out, but I have to carry on with my life. The rose that came with the letter is a sorry excuse.. its 3 quarters dried out. I told my mom that it’s the thought that counts… she wasn’t impressed with that. LOL!!!

He came here just after 6pm to drop stuff off for our son. Its clothes that his mother asked him to give Sulaiman, I know this because I know her style of clothes and he wouldn’t buy that particular brand. He also gave my son a tent house thing. It has hundreds of pieces to it and looks complicated to build and we have no space in the house for it. So I gave him one of the plastic pipes and let him bang around the house with it. He wasn’t interested in his dad either which is what I thought was going to happen. My husband made my mom very upset but she stuck to her guns and I am very proud of her. She didn’t let him in the house and when he refused to leave til he saw me she told him she would call the cops and he asked her if she was serious and she said she was so he left pretty quick after that. By the time she came into the house I was praying so hard that he wouldn’t steal my son and that my mom would just come inside. I was shaking and she was pretty shook up herself.

So anyway I am sure my husband isn’t at all happy. The counsellor called me again this evening to try change my mind about getting help and I said that my husband had been here and I was even more determined to get divorced and not carry on with my marriage and he will just have to accept that he has lost me and that I don’t trust him and he will never be able to gain it again. So now I am going to get another letter at some stage in the post box. He has apparently been clean from dagga for 12 days, but that doesn’t add up because he would have had to be in pmb to get the summons and that was served on valentines day.. so how could he have been clean that long?!!??!! And he is staying with a friend of his that grows dagga in his hot house. I hate that particular friend for various reasons that I won’t go into detail about because that is another history book on its own.

My tummy is rock hard and has been for nearly 2 hours, it must be the stress. I cannot eat cos I will probably end up throwing up and I rather save myself that experience. I am doing deep breathing and doing my best to relax.

Kimika your birth story is so beautiful and that is what I hope for myself, except I won’t have any pain relief cos government doesn’t do that unless its an emergency/ planned c section.

Joli I would also tell that lady that its not possible because the moms don’t want extra people there and that its stressful on their own. And that it took you ages to learn etc and that she needs to do it on her own.

Meags those prices of that shoot are crazy, I would have told her where to get off the bus. Surely you can save the photo’s onto a memory stick and then print them off the stick at your leisure???

Misty I also love the names you have chosen.

More than that I cannot see on this computer and I cannot remember.

Hugs to you all.

wow Betty F so some photographers just are expensive...I still feel ripped off though!!

your baby is growing so nicely!!!! and that is SUCH wonderful news that your gynae is so supportive. You must be feeling so good now :)

Tazzy - I wish I could know how many more uncomfortable sleeps I have left - might make it more bearable. If I go overdue by 2 weeks, that means I still have more than 6 weeks left :blink:
