Feb-May 2011 Mommies

Tazzy I was just busy in the kitchen now with dinner and was thinking about you! Was wondering whether you could finally see the sex! So happy that you could see and that all is well with your baby girl. Didn't you think it was a boy in the beginning??

Anje those pics are too precious man.

I can't wait to see who of us gives birth first. As long as it is not me!

Im back! And Its a GIRL!!
Baby is well and head down already. Weighing 1.1kgs. My ceaser has been provisionally booked for 3 March but can change.

Im soooo happy to finally know the sex, now to choose a name!

Will be back later for personals.

Hi ladies, I haven't been here for a while, problems with Telkom ADSL at work for the last two weeks, and I am so busy in the evenings, or just too tired to log in. Hope all is well thought.

I had my 4D scan on Friday and baby D is gorgeous, unfortunately we are still struggling to name her. Here are some pics.

Hi All.

MistyMom - Congrats on your win! I found a nice top at Fochini that 1/2 covers my tummy and supports my boobs (I'm a 32 DD), but I didn't like the matching panty. Must still hunt for that, but I think I might just wear an old bikini panty with shorts over - all my pants still fit, just can't close the buttons and I guess that's OK for the beach . I still don't have any milk, but I'm too scared too squeesh my boobies anyways he he. I think you should just get long sleeved vests - end April is getting cooler and if it's hot, you can just leave baby in a vest.

Will pose in my cozzie when we are on the beach and will come post a pic OK . I seriously can not wait to go on holiday.

I'm so uncomfortable. I actually feel like crying. I've got these shooting pains right on top of my belly - under my boobies (or should I say boobs). I can't sit for long. I'm not sure how I'm going to manage sitting at a desk until end Feb. The only time I'm comfortable is when I am lying on my side - wish I could do that for the next 3 months! I don't think I'm carrying that big, but because I'm so short there really is no space for the baby to get too big. I think I'm about the same size now than what I was full term with Megan. Eish. OK enough complaining from me.

Megan went to visit my MIL last week and came home on Saturday. She's a bit sick (and so am I and hubby), but she was an absolute nightmare on Saturday - gosh I couldn't believe she was my child. I'm sure she can win a contest for the biggest tantrum thrower!!

Meags I'm so jealous of your trip! Sounds divine. I've never been overseas. Kayla wants to build aeroplanes one day.........so when I told her yesterday she can make a lot of money if she becomes a famous professional photographer, she said ya maybe she will. I keep looking at my girls, trying to think what they make of their lives - one can only wonder.

Faw - strongs hun - thinking of you.

EmsMom - off course you can take some of the ideas to your photographer. I think I might get Kayla to just take some pics in the studio as I really don't want to spend money on a shoot now, but I will definately book a newborn shoot somewhere - if I can just find someone I really like that won't charge me like R3000! Enjoy the decorating day - sounds awesome and remember to post some pics.

Kimika - are you going for another 4D now or not?

ooh frogot to mentin I was one of the winner in the We Wee Friend Potty Training Sticker competition!

Yay at last...I have entered so many

Meags...wow th epool osunds amazing! Dont worry. I know the cellulite story! OOh Ikea...I really wish we had one here...flat pack and cheap, but good for spare rooms and kiddy stuff etc. Have Fun! how is the weather? Have you got enough clothes? Bet yo uhave bought some there already!!

Schatsie...I am thinking of you in this time. I am a firm beleiver in everything happens fro a reason! Holding thumbs..Glad you got out to the Braai and felt better! Gosh who would of thought arnica oil coul dbring on labour? Intresting.

Joli...hope I have better luck than you at finding a costume....I have just found out we are going away camping over new year weekend. Looking forward to it as it is right oin a river, which I plan to sit in all day. Anyway I tried on my bikinin and it is NOT FITTING!! so ya, shopping for me and not looking froward to try find something to fit over my boobies! OOh the Spa...sounds good...woul dlove to go soon myself...if only DH would start taking the hints! LOVE THE PIC!

Fawhaway....you seem like a strong lady! You are coping so well with all the things in you rlife an dhope you get the money from SARS...sure you could do with it with things for your pregnancy! Glad to here your daddy is on the road to recovery!

LucyW...oooh we are only starting the baby room after Xmas...at the moment everything is pilled up in our third bedroom (we making the current guest room the baby room afetr christmas). Starting to Freak out as want to start but DH said it will all be finished enbd Jan so better trust him!

Emsmom - wow congrates on teh drive! The cheatah park in CT is like R200! Tousrist pricews as usual! WOw that is a lot of cookies!! Good uck baking.

And for me...did some gardening on Saturday, Bakind on Sunday and played xbox the rest of the weekend. DH is back in a week. So far since he has been away I have had no dramas except teh cats catching a bird which they always do when he is away and bring to me (as my mom suggested maybe they have nopticed I am eating more and DH is always bringing me snacks). On Staurday morning I noticed littel stains on my PJ'sso checked out my nipples...and I already have some colostrum! Went on to the net to check and it is normal...so hopefully this means no problem breast feeding (with 38DD i should hope not!). Besides that and the littel chipolata kicking up a storm nothing else to report. My back is not as sore as it used to be, my feet still swell up now and then, but besides all that I am happy.

Was looking at little vest etc in the shops on the weekend...If baby is due in 22 April do I get short or long sleeves?

Chat later girls....and love to all I have not mentioned!

Oh yes does aybody have a toiletry list for newborn baby?

hi ladies!

thanks for the info regarding the arnica oil schatsie I am not exactly sure which I have as it's not an oiil - it's like a lotion and the pharmacist recommended it?? Will definitely re-check though as definitely dont want to be going into early labour!
2 more days until your results xx

joli - I love your photo!!! perhaps your little girl is walking in your footsteps to be a photographer??

kimika - man...babies can be so inconsiderate sometimes hiding away in your placenta!!

EmsMom - good luck with the 2000 cookies! I think I'd eat most of them!

Faw - good news about your dad and I'm glad you're not giving into your husband

Rakker - I flew at 24 weeks and this was my procedure from gynae:
Take 75mg Asprin for 1 week before flying (I broke it down so it was more like 60g though). continue for 2 days after flying.
I bought pressure stockings. had to wear them 1 day before flying and 2 days after.
on the plane, you HAVE to get up and walk and stretch every 1 hour. so no sleep for you!
lots of water

lucy - where is your photo??? I want to see that preggy belly

we are off to Ikea today. going to see the type of stuff they sell so in America I can know what type of things to expect to buy for the house.
then visiting my mom's friend who is looking after their grandchild (5 months old)
nose is still very congested and still coughing. but I dont feel sick at least.
then tomorrow off to the heated pools!!!
