Feb-May 2011 Mommies

meags - great news! Have some cookies on my behalf too!

emsmom - I'm going to get EPO capsules tomorrow & start using them. Will have to get DH to help in that department as I can barely reach there properly nevermind sticking anything up there!

No BH yet or funny discharges - or at least not that I've noticed I might add!

I've got my baby shower on Saturday - can't wait!

If you are really happy with every other aspect then cool there is only one issue to focus on - sex life and you are completely right it IS important!! So maybe wile he is away think abt how you can approach it differently but maybe counselling cause u have tried to bring it up and no result so maybe its a very deep seated issue for him? When i said no relationsip is better than a crap one i meant it but thats not to say YOURS is a crap relationsip you are happy with other aspects so its worth working on but its a two way sreet and he should come at least ti the suburb now hey!

just got the call about my blood test yesterday...yay!
I dont have gestational diabetes!
bring on the cookies!

Cath - I'm not really one to keep quiet...so I have often expressed my feelings to DH!
It's weird though...I feel like if we just had a better sex life, things would be better. I think our marriage is good otherwise - we are good friends, we enjoy doing things together, we work well together as a team when doing things, he is affectionate (just not intimate!). So it's quite difficult...because to me, the sex thing IS a big deal!! so even though everything else is good, that one issue really bothers me.

meags you look abs stunning like an angel what lovely pics!!! At some stage you are going to have to give yr dh a ultimatum hey? you have gone half way across the world for him and he is the snappy one lol! Ssri's dont make you self centred and selfish or even unloving. He has bee like tha since you first stated posting. I sugges you take the time he is awa to really really think about what you want ad wha you deserve - from sex to intimacy and loving supportive behaviour etc ec Then you could give him a chance to try ad be a good husband but dont wait forever! no relationsip is better than a crap relationsip. You ca choose to tolerate it or not but what you describe is not nice its not loving and you deserve so muc more!!!!

Lucy you might be right but its TOTaLLY me after jessica lol!!!

emsmom yay re baby turning!!!!! Awesomeness!!

Hey Ladies

Misty I will def be there, but has to be before 2pm as its my baby shower that afternoon. Glad you go your bra's! And love your belly pics and the nursery! And your kitties are just the CUTEST!

Cath, good luck and keep us updated. Very exciting! Lucky you with ML!

Jessica, have you thought about trying self induction? Cause its the size that worries your Dr right?

Meags, I hope your DH comes through and massages you at least while your in labour. Sorry your test was so yucky! When will you get the results? Stunning photo! Looking forward to seeing more.

Kimika you look so radient in your post birth photos! Glad everything is going so well.

Joli, medical aids are the devil. I ahte them so much, you pay and pay and pay, and when you need them they have nothing but excuses.

Karin, how are you doing? Not long for you now. And I also love the movements so much, esp since this is also our last time.

AFM, went for our scan today, and baby has turned, and facing the right way! yay baby! he/she is however 2w ahead in size - on the 97 percential. But Dr still happy for us to go natural. He has sent me for a blood test for sugar and hemogoban, so hopefully that all comes back ok.
I'm so glad baby has turned, was my biggest concern.
Got DH sick at home - so having to look after him. And have to force him to let me, cause even though he is sick he still wants to look after me.

hi ladies

well I never got my back rub!! DH hates massaging...and I could see him trying everything to avoid it so I caved and allowed him to avoid it...stupid man...
I have warned him already if he isnt up to massaging me throughout labour, he has to tell me now so I can either get my mom into the labour room or a doula. He insists he will massage me but I highly doubt it
He is very snappy with me in the evenings when he gets home from work...dunno what's up with that. I'm the hormonal one!!

Joli - yip...DH is still going to Germany. I'm dreading it He leaves next week Friday and will be back the following Friday. Dunno what I'm gonna do for a full week here alone!!

Cath - enjoy the maternity leave!! I wish I could be at work...I miss it so much! Haven't worked for over a year now (well permanently anyway...had odd jobs here and there) and boy I am bored!

Jessica - how are you feeling??? Any strong BH that might indicate labour coming on? Any funny discharge yet?

Faw - happy it's windy there so you can go home and try rest a bit!

MistyMom - sorry work is such a drag for you at the moment...I had those days where you just hate work so much! It makes the day so long!!

Kimika how are things going at home? How is Pietertjie enjoying having his brother there????

Schatsie - my belly is not huge really for 34 weeks. Well that's what I thought until I saw a sample of my maternity shoot pictures!! I will post it below - wow my belly is huge!
I have to say - when you described how you reacted to your DH going for after work drinks - I just smiled. that is Me in a nutshell! It drives me INSANE when he doesnt just sms to say he'll be late or whatever. And especially when I'm sick - why must he go for drinks on that specific day??? And I also always threaten him and say I can raise Matthieu as a single parent if he would rather be out drinking and partying hormones!!

ok here is my 34 week maternity shoot pic - I'm dying to see the rest!
