Feb-May 2011 Mommies

Meags thanks for letting us know about Joli's c-sec! Please keep us posted as soon as you know more! Flip this is scary! Some days I get impatient about baby's coming because of all the back & pelvis pain I have, but if my LO has to come 2 months early I will have a fit!!

Kaylae I read that you should avoid peanuts when you are pregnant since it can cause baby to be allergic to nuts, so maybe it is best to avoid it.

Joli going in for caesar now. baby a bit distressed. joli scared for spinal. everything should go well since she got the steroid injections and baby is a good weight. good luck friend!

Joli-Like I said on FB that DH after I told him about you he said I must take leave at 34 weeks to just relax and really this is an eye opener I will also start packing Tshami's bag so that it is always ready.All will go well,don't worry about things not going according to your plan as it is going according to God's plans and He will bring you and baby B out victoriously.

Kimika-Good on ordering the bag.

Meags-You are just like me,impatient.I ask once and the next thing I start doing it myself as I hate begging.but you need to take it easy I know from now on I won't be doing anything and if it has to stay 2 weeks for DH to stop lazying around and help so let it be.

Tazzy-hope you will love your nursery linen,I was so dissapointed on the sizes of the stuff I ordered online

Karin-You too have a good one

Emsom-enjoy orientation with Em,hope DH comes home soon.


AFM-MS is back and I didn't like it one bit,think it was triggered by the peanuts I ate.My back was also aching till I put a cushion and slept like a baby.

Joli - You had better keep those posts selfish!!! We want to know how our dear friend is ! Take care hun. I am so sorry you are not getting the birth you wanted but you are probably in the best place for you and baby B now. I hope the happy hormones start taking over soon and you can feel the excitement of baby B's imminent arrival. Look forward to hearing from you soon.

Meags - I am so glad you are getting excited and that your contract is signed, FX!!!! So sorry about that stupid stupid man hitting your car. How awesome that the dude behind got all the details for you.

Vix - I am so packing my bags this weekend The last odds and sods will also be purchased...... although next week I'll be in jo'burg and my bag in durbs, hee hee.
We think of you lots too, I often pop onto the jan/feb thread to get your news. I must say that I think you are super Mom!!

Kimika - Whoop whoop on the bag. I am so happy that you got that sorted out. Just an FYI my last lot of bra's took about 3 weeks to arrive so just plan that amount of time before getting them.

Tazzy - If you figure out the take it easy and rest thing please let me know!! I am feeling more pressured than ever to go go go and get everything sorted for baba, home, Mom leaving, work etc etc. Enjoy your baby shower, it is such fun!

Claire - OOooo hope the baby shower is soon. I feel much easy since mine is done and can get organised!

Sorry to all I have missed ......... gotta work! Grrrrr!

Joli, hope the joy of seeing your baby makes all the heart ache go away. Hope you can hang on for a few more days. And please, we want those selfish posts about you and baby. It is your rights to be selfish now. Must say, your experience is quite a reality check for me. I should do what I must and want to as soon as possible, because this can also happen to me. With my first child, I was the first of our Pampers group to pop and I also didn't have anything packed. My friend had to buy me nighties as I had none that you can wear in "public". She also got me granny panties and some other essentials. I am going to pack my bags this weekend, even though it is way too early in most books. With my first I thought getting it all ready at 35 weeks will be good. Then he came a day before that...

Faw, I think you need a lot of hugs, so here goes: *Hugs, hugs, hugs, hugs, hugs, hugs, hugs, hugs, hugs, hugs, hugs, hugs*.

Kimika, wish i had taken more biscuits... They were sooo yummy. Glad you ordered the bag now, he he he.

Meags, good luck with the last few days. And don't overdo it now...

To al the others: Sorry for no personals. I am breaking my rule of "No Moomie at work", so I'm not going to post something for everyone. But I really read everything.

OMW Joli dear, I'm SO sorry to hear about your ordeal!! I was sitting here work crying when I read your posts! This is SO unexpected and SO early. But don't worry about Baby B too much, he/she is so big already I'm sure he/she will be just fine! I was chatting to a lady over the weekend and her baby was born 3 months early and is perfectly healthy. They really are very good with preterm babies nowadays!

Please do ask the dr what could have caused it.

I was reading "What to expect when you're expecting" last night and they mentioned that sometimes the dr can inject saline solution into your uterus if your amniotic fluid is not enough. Not sure if that will help if the sac is ruptured badly and it will just run out again though?

Good luck with being in hospital for the next few days. I know it's not fun being couped up there, but just pretend you're in some fancy hotel where they attend to your every whim - and get DH to bring you some nice food if you don't like the hospital food.

Joli - I had a restless night thinking of you. I hope you are not to uncomfy. You seem very relaxed about everything. It must be extremely emotional for you, but be strong. The dr has you and baby B in good hands!

Kimika - I have also packed my bag this morning. Still have a few things to get though, but will do that on the weekend.

Meags - glad you got a buyer for your flat! Are you almost packed and ready to go? When do you leave? I hope your flight is a little more comfy this time, but I can only imagine it won't be with you being so far along now. How long is the flight to Miami?

Faw - sounds like you still going through a rough time with your husband. I think you are making good choices in life now. Congrats on getting in at False bay. I used to live just up the rd from there. How is that hospital now days?
As for potty training. I only started after LG turned 2. And it took me a week or so. You have to totally committed and don't use any nappies once you've started the process ( only for naps and bedtime). They need to have accidents before they realise how to control their bladders.

Afm - I'm seriously going to start taking it easy now until the birth. Rest rest rest. I have my baby shower next sat, can't wait! Then I only have a few bits and pieces to get, but otherwise everything is sorted now. My nursery linen should arrive from the USA tomorrow. Yay!
