Feb-May 2011 Mommies

Hi ladies

Meags - Oh hun, you really have to start taking it easy now! You're experiencing so much stress right now, it's not good for you or you little boy. Hope the dr. appointment goes well this morning and you can get a good glimpse at your little man. Good luck with your trip, may all work out just fine and you have a lovely, relaxed trip to your exciting new life!

Lucy - jip, ankles were terribly swolen yesterday again too, we also had temps of 33 degrees here. Luckily today is so nice and cool, round about 20degrees and drizzling now and then. Try and put your feet on a stool when its so swollen, it really helps.

Kimika - funny about the bags! Lucky that you could warn everyone before they got it, hehe, now just hope there is not someone else you don't know about also plotting on getting you one. At least you'll be super mod then with two different cool baby bags.

AFM: So got all the baby clothes and blankies etc whashed yesterday. Well, all up to 6 months clothing. The 6-12 and up I'll wash when the time comes at the end of the year again. Kiana's bag is 90% packed and mine should be packed by tonight.
I'm just struggling finding proper pj's for hospital!! Jeepers, can anyone please tell me where I can find some with buttons down the front that is still summer wear as well???
It feels like I've been everywhere and just can't find any.

Yesterday I was busy packing the dishwasher and a coffee cup fell out of my hand into the zink... shame, the moment it landed with a loud bang Kiana jumped in my tummy! It was so cute, I think she got a fright at the loud noise cause it landed right in front of my tummy. That is so cute, so hopefully that is a sign that her hearing is just fine.

Hi ladies,

My apologies for being mia, I am really busy at work during the day and too tired in the evenings to catch up.

Meags, I know you are leaving today, just want to say hope you have a safe journey and now you can finally start with M's room etc. Enjoy !!

I took my 30 week pic, but still need to download it from camera, will post as soon as possible. I had some pain on my sides yesterday, thought it was my kidneys, but I am now sure it was Lianey moving, cause her hicups are on the other side now.

Enjoy your day ladies !!

kimika...you gotta change taht pink cupcake...its making me starving!!!!!!

Morning girls

Meags - hope you and little Baby M have a safe flight. Bet you hardly slept last night! As mentioned yay for mommie and FB...it will feel like you are right on our doorstep! GL with all the running around getting nursery done for baby. YOu are enteringa great new adventure!

Betty_f how old is your little one? Hope you have no tears this morning!

LucyW - rest those ankles!!! A nice foot spa and massage helps.....and keep them up! (above your heart).

Schatsie - all of us first time moms are clueless!! Thats why we here to help each other! I checked last night and the bottle is 750ml...calculated should get about 13-15 full loads in machine out of it so it will cost about R2 a load in EA soap...not bad if it works nicely. I also saw on my washing machine that I ghave a baby care setting - this does extra rinses or something i think so that no soap residue is left on items...so this weekend will try a wash with EA and baby cycle clothes...They are all so tiny sure could fit all clothes in one wash (well a light and dark load)..will keep you posted how it goes. Also really think that we should invest in a tumble dryer!

AFM...going ot GYM today....first time this year! Bet my custome will not even fit me...and if it does I will probably sink t the bottom of the pool! I am a little upset as my freind had a baby boy on MOnday via C section and was going to go visit her yesterday afternoon at the hospital, but had such a bad headache...so slept all afternoon! Now she is home today. Cant wait to see little baby ben and find out all about the birth. My other friend in the USA is also due anyday....

Any news on Joli?? I cant wait to hear from her again and read her birth story.

Oh yes and lastly I am making raost chicken tonight..have a craving fro that crisp[y skin....who is cooking what tonight??

Joli, your little man is sooo cute!! Nice bit of dark hair there Congrats again.

Meags, Im so sad your leaving us Thank goodness for moomie and fb!!! Hope your flight is ok and not too long and that you get some sleep!

Meags - have a safe journey today. I hope your new chapter in life brings you even more love and happiness. I hope you'll still stay in contact with us! Xxxxxxx

Oh Meags, I feel for you.

Such a stressful thing to be going through at this stage of your life. Hope the scan goes well.

Be careful of being too much over weight. The airline charges a fortune.

We had big crocodile tears going to school yesterday. Let's hope this morning is better.
