Feb-May 2011 Mommies

JOlI - wow!!!!! How very brave of you! Not sure if i would want somebody "starnge" taking pics, but at least you know her. Mom also told me that by half way through labour you really dont care about anything. She siad the postman could of come in and had a good look fro all she cared...she just wanted baby out! But you are an expeirenced birther...so sure you will look the part and make it look easy! ANd sure she will make you look good, make up or non!

Schatsie / Meags - ya DH has "helped" me out before! I just cant see there (as you mentioned meags)...i pulled adn twisted , but still needed a mirror...but he did a great job!

Meags - aaaarrrggghhh re the whole luggage thing! Sure that you can get some kind of VIP help in transit? Ask when you check in!

AFM....yay i am home. DH is going to be late tonight so i have seattled on the couch and dont plan to move...well of course only to wee!
My friend who was in the car accident gota call from doc and her c section is booked for Monday.....cant wait to go visit her and baby

wishing you all a fantastic restful weekend!!!

wow Joli that is AWESOME!!!
I must actually still try find someone to photograph my birth...cant really book a professional photographer as I may go into labour when they are with a client?!
any suggestions about who to ask?

hehe MistyMom don't be scared!!! it really wasnt painful at all. I'm just disappointed that I cant see the results. I have tried lifting my tummy, pushing it out the way, but I just cannot for the life of me see down there and there are no small mirrors around!
fantastic about your MIL sending you money. that's a HUGE amount!!!!!! lucky you!!!!

I went and had my hair done - don't feel so 'ugly' anymore.

looking forward to the moomie meet tomorrow although I am sure a lot of ladies are not going to pitch...

oh yes Joli, I collected the magazines Jana arranged for us. Half must go to Wilma. She works in the eastrand so do you mind taking them from me tomorrow and she'll collect them from you at some stage?

LOL Mistymom glad to hear I'm not the only one who gets DH to shave me! It started with him doing my legs, but now I also can't reach down there anymore - in fact I can't even see there, so DH has been doing it for me.

WOW 1000 GBP for baby shopping!! Lucky you!!!! With the exchange rate you'll be able to buy an entire nursery with that!

Hi ladies

Yay.....I'm at the salon now....having a pedicure! I'm such a baby. Came in to book a Brazilian for now but was too scared so having a nice foot treatment instead! Have booked the brizilian for mid march...DH will just have to shave me again tonight!

Also found a lovely snoopy baby fluffy blanket at woolies ( I LOVE SNOOPY) so happily bought that. Also got the news this morning that my MIL from will be sending me £1000 towards baby shopping!! So happy

Joli, I don't know about waterproof foundation, but you do get that long lasting lipstick - that should work.

Mistymom, oo wow, your bump is looking sooo great Maybe your baba is playing soccer with your tummy and thats whats causing the nausea? hehe..

Lucy, how did the sleeping go??

Jess, Happy Birthday!!! Hope you have a fantastic day and that the 30s treats you well xxx oH and thanks for sharing the belly pic ahhh hello little brother in there!!

Meags, glad you got the luggage sorted. What a hassle! And I agree, by now you shouldve been much better so I think the antibiotics might just give the kick needed. Thanks for the tip on the rib pain.. havent had it again since he now has decided to put his foot into my left side and keeps sticking it out there! You can actually see the sharp point it makes through my skin!! eeky

Anje, thanks for sharing the pics.. she really has a beautiful girly face So cute!

Joli, you are a brave girl but its going to be sooo great for you to share your birth And I mean obviously they wont show any *explicit* photies.

Schatsie, Ive also packed away the g's So now only wearing the boy-leg or bikini ones.. but I refuse to go up a size Its just a thing I have.. if yours are tight then forsure go up a size. Just dont buy those ones with the big elastic at the top.. eina!

Ok girls, gotta run again.. have some biscuits to bake for tomoz

He he Schatsie - nope they won't be doing hair or make-up - they are only sending the photographer. And there won't be time for that anyways. Megan was born within 3 hours of going into labour and with both my girls by the time I got to hospital, I was 9cm dilated. I know this birth might be different, so will just have to wait and see. Another thing, when I went into labour with Megan, I did my hair and my make-up between the contractions, but by the time she was born, my hair was tied up and there was no make up left on my face. You either sweat if off or wipe it off. Maybe I should invest in some waterproof mascara at least. Wonder whether there's waterproof foundation and lipstick............
