Feb-May 2011 Mommies

Thanks ladies

Ja it's weird, the gynae again said everything was perfect and I couldn't help thinking - what is he not telling me!?!?!? LOL!! Very unlike me I'm usually super positive but when you start to think abuot the things that *could* go wrong oh LORD!

Also a bit irritated that he said he'd have SO MUCH news for me - i.e. what the delivery date is looking like - he hasn't a clue - and I dunno I just hoped for some more certainty but he said that will be ages still! He's going on 28 Feb as due date but also (helpfully!) reminded me that some woman go til 42 weeks OMG!

So once again it's a case of let go let God and just trust in the process of life! I feel more positive today but yesterday must say I was rather irritated to be left wondering - maybe preggy hormones (!) but he was looking carefully at William's stomach and I was thinking again hmm, what has he seen!!! what's wrong!?!?!?!? Must pray and meditate about it! LOL even when he said William was 2.2 to 2.3 kilos I didn't believe him OMG!

Kaylae love your little one's name! well done on the potty training!!!!

Lucy thanks for enema tip and also Kimika I didn't know about constipation after so that's brillian to know thank you! Kimika my doc has also been saying Will is slap bang in the middle of average (if he is telling the truth LOL! ) first time I've been happy to hear the word 'average' LOL!

On a positive note, still sleeping beautifully, Joburg is mercifully cool, and work still good and manageable.

Love
Cath

Kaylae - yip i have been feeling the same on and off for the last 2 weeks now!

Schatsie - glad DH did ont get you to help move stuff! Where is the shop in Parrow? Hope you will be posting some pics. Have fun thiw weekend doing nursery.

Betty - yes nice age gap (like me and my sister)

Meags sorry scan didi not go well hope you are having a best a journey as possible!

Joli - lov ethe name! And he is so so beautiful...does not look small at all!

TO all others...hi...sorry did read all posts but my brain has frozen!

AFM..At work. Feel crappy....did not sleep last night. We have a meeting this morning to plan for the year and I will see if I can go home after that! Looking at all the baby pics (joli on FB an dmy friend who also gave birth on MOnday) is making me want my little one NOW!!!!! I have wanting my little bundle of joy since I was probably about 18 and at 35 its a long wait!!! At times i look down and cant beleive that I am at last having my little baby!! I wish I was due in March, not April!

TGIF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Schatsie - Yeah for the 3D tomorrow! And enjoy getting the nursery ready! Its such a great way to prepare mentally and physically for baby... enjoy the experience.

This is Callum - Joli's precious little gorgeous angel.
Joli: hope it's okay to put his photo here... the girls really wanted to see him too.

Morning all!

Cathm - Glad everything went well with your scan, William is at a great weight, right on track! Cute photo too! Lucky you to get a nice photo still at 34 weeks.

Lucy - thanx for the info on the enema! Pls post the name of the stuff when you have it, would really like to try that this time round.

Betty - I also had an emergency c-section with my first after 9 hours of labour, and hoped to maybe have a vbac with my second 7 years later... but it didn't work that way. The problem is that the reason for the first c-section has to be something that is unlikely to occur again for you to attemp vbac, so there might be a chance if you know why your natural birth didn't happen like it should have.
Don't stress about feeling like you are neglecting her. If you have baby stuff already its normal to not go on a shopping spree like a first timer. Basically she'll need new clothes and blankies (girly stuff this time round) and you'll be fine.

Kimika - I also love my tumble drier, won't be able to get along without one.
Sorry about your girl staffie! Hope she isn't hurt too badly and will be healthy again soon.

Kaylae - Oh dear, sounds like your honeymoon stage is also coming to an end... but keep your chin up. Sometimes its just hormones that goes out a bit and will regulate itself again. You'll have your up days and your down days as you get closer to the end. Good luck with the potty training, at least girls are easier to train than boys.

AFM: No news is good news. Just so glad its weekend!
Have a lovely day all!

Good morning preggy friends and Joli

I'm SO excited today - we're getting our cot and compactum from our friends tomorrow! Last night DH and a friend swapped the furniture between baby's room and our other spare room, so we can just move the new furniture in tomorrow.

Once we have the furniture I want to go to this toy factory shop in Parow I've heard of and get a BIG teddy for baby, as well as some colourful stuff for the walls. We've decided not to repaint, we'll just get nice bedding and the wall stuff. I want to get one of those giraffe things where you can mark their growth.

So hopefully after this weekend our nursery will have come a long way.

Also, we're going for our 3D scan tomorrow, so I'm super excited about that too! Can't wait!

Lucy thanks for the enema tip - will definitely do that!

Does anyone have Facebook at work so you can copy Joli's baby pic and paste it here for us? My company blocks FB.

Hope you all have a gr8 day!
