Feb-May 2011 Mommies

Morning ladies,

Had to catch up on 3 pages of news, so really cannot remember everything... sorry.

Meags - So glad you are safely in the US, sorry about you being sick still! Maybe just get the extra antibiotics, some orange juice, Probiotics and try bed rest for two days or so.
I really think the stress and the travelling made it come back again... your body needs to adjust now and relax again to run smoothly.

Schatsie - LOVE your 4D pics! Sooo gorgeous and yes... definitely a little boy you have there.

A big Hello to everyone else, hope you'll have a fab week!!

AFM: Doing well, just starting to feel Really uncomfortable now... tummy getting bigger and heavier. Kiana is still very active, so great to feel her moving around still, savouring it cause I know it will not happen again for me.
Still struggling to find pajamas!! Soo frustrated! Even went to Mosselbay mall yesterday to see if they have any stock left as all our shops stock is sold out and they are starting with the winter stock already.
Have one pair that I will be getting from Edgars (didn't want it, really not my style) but now I dont have a choice so... Will have to make due with one pair as I cant find anything else. Maybe I'll get a slip or something similar that can just be pushed down my shoulders...

My sister in law has been struggling with very low amniotic fluid for months and yesterday she got the news that baby girl's blood flow is very restricted now too! She's now just over 36 weeks and seeing the dr. tomorrow again, baby is also breech and will probably have to delivered via c-section this week still maybe - she was really putting her hopes on a water birth... Gosh.. another wake up call about not just thinking you are making the plans and all will work out like that!
So.... ladies... pack those bags early, no matter who laughs at you and enjoy every minute of still being pregnant.

As for the nursery, we fetched the cot and compactum Sat morning. DH then decided that he needed to fix it up and almost rebuilt the whole cot and then repainted it too. He was soooo enthusiastic about this project.

So eventually this meant that we didn't actually put the stuff in the nursery yet and we also didn't get around to do the shopping I wanted to do for it.

Yesterday we went to Baby Boom to look for some stuff but they had no nursery decorations and also not the bedding I'm looking for. I want to make the nursery theme teddy bears, but couldn't find any bedding with that on, so the search continues. has anyone perhaps seen any bedding with bears anywhere?

But I must say that fetching the stuff and having it in the house did make things seem a whole lot more real, so it was exciting anyway!

Schatsie...he is too beautiful! Thank you for the shop info...did you go? I am in that area next week so will pop in!

Kaylae..shame..through your nose! How awful...hop ethe cramps are not polaying up to much today...

Feeling ok this morning again now

And this one is not for sensitive viewers but I just had to share it. Look people, I'm definitely a boy!

Another one.

Morning girs

Phew, there was a lot of catching up to do this morning, so apologies if I missed something.

Mistymom the toy shop is in Voortrekker Road Parow, kinda close to Sanlam centre, on the right side of the road if you're travelling from Parow to Belville.

Our 4D scan was AMAZING!!!!!! I'm SO in love with my little angel face after seeing him on the scan! He looks quite a lot like me, but has daddy's mouth and chin. Too cute!

I'm attaching some pics - just have no idea how to add more than one at a time, so might need more than one post.
