Feb-May 2011 Mommies

Vix, thanks a lot for the advice, it helps a lot being a first time mom and all.

Aaah Lucy, that is so cute !!

Thank you Meags, will do so now. Ah shame, I can only imagine how weird it is to have baby in your belly, but nothing else to look at and it is understandable that you just want to move and get settled. I am sure once you are settled there everything will come together nicely. Ugh, such a long wait still, I really do feel for you, it must be difficult. Just hold on girl, almost there. Yay on the 4D scan – Enjoy !!

Em, congrats on the kick, what a special moment. You are so lucky, enjoy wearing those stunning pants.

Hi to everyone else !! Hope everyone has a lovely day !!

AFM: I am so excited, our kitchen cupboards have arrived and my hubby has been posting pictures on fb for me. I cannot wait to get home !!

Lucy, surprisinly there were quite a few preggy women at the sexpo last year - I mean hello if you're having sex, its very likely that you'll eventually fall PG

Regarding the sleeping on back, its is 100% if you feel fine! Some women get dizzy if they lie on their backs, then you need to stop, but for the most part if you feel comfy go ahead!

Meags - I hope seeing your LO in 4d today will cheer you up. It must be awful living in limbo like you are. Take care.

Emsmom - It must be a big relief to know your parents are going to see your sister now. Looking forward to your lovely belly! Enjoy the sexpo, although I am sure bystanders will think you don't need help in that department (Hee Hee) My friend and I went and bought naughty underwear for her (as a christmas pressie for her DH) It was the week before she delivered her baby. Anyway you could see the shop assistants thinking ai curumba!!

To all the bof's on this thread ....... I have another question! Yes you may feel exasperated with me, sorry!
Is it safe to sleep on your back? I remember reading that it wasn't but I can't find that now. I am so uncomfortable on my side even with the preggy roll. I do get a strange sensation in my belly when I lie on my back but it isn't uncomfortable. I'm sure the article said it squashed a blood vessel and deprived LO of blood, hence oxygen.

Lovely day to all

morning everyone!

EmsMom- yippee for the hard kick! I love those and really looking forward to your belly pic! Thanks for asking how I am. I guess I'm ok but honestly I just want to immigrate now and get settled, do the baby's room etc. I don't feel like we are having this baby for us, it feels like it's for someone else since we have nothing around for the baby! All the clothes are packed in the trunk so there is really nothing to look at

DH had his farewell dinner with colleagues last night and got home at 1am and told me since he needs 8 hours of sleep, he will only wake up 9 and be at work by 10. really annoys me as I always wanted to get the 9am gynae appointments and he always said he couldn't make it cos of work...amazing how he can go in late cos of a hangover but not for a scan.

I got the free ticket to the baby expo as well so I see it as a sign that I am suppose to go for the 4D scan. hehe. any excuse!
So I am up, dressed and ready to be first in the queue. However, I want my friend to come along so I will see if I can 'book' for midday or if I just have to have it done there and then.

Otherwise not much else to report and I REALLY am not up for personals at the moment - sorry everyone but I do love you still!

Morning ladies

Sorry I haven't been posting, I promise I have been reading, but really my focus is all gone and trying to reply to posts sometimes makes my head sore...

Joli that is a lovely scan! So so sweet! And I'm not even going to guess at a sex, cause I was so sure Em was a boy... even with her very little girl face 3d picute...

Meags you doing ok love? I know things have been a bit rough for you, but I'm sure once you are settled and able to focus on baby things you'll see a huge turn around!

faw, I'm so glad things are going well, and very funny about baba's little sex change... just another reason for me not to find out my ones sex

As promised DH will take some belly photos tonight, we've been out every night this week so really just haven't had any time. But I promise I'll post some soon ok...

AFM, just alot going on lately and my memory is shocking. I'm normally so on the ball but its sliping now a bit...
Baby is moving lots, and I felt a kick against my hand yesterday, but DH hasnt yet felt him/her. He's not too stressed and knows by Christmas he will be able to!
And only 1 month till Christmas! I can't belive the time is flying so fast now. And we've got so much on from now on... scaryness.
My folks leave today for Aus for 2 weeks, so will take them to airport and then I've got to do shopping and then SEXPO!! Yay!
My mom bought me a stunning pair of maternity pants yesterday, so now I can just buy normal dresses and float around in those..
Otherwise things are going well.
Hope all you ladies are fab.

please check the jhb meeting thread under ladies topic if you plan to attend the meeting on 15 january. we need a final answer from all attending about the venue change

Ah Joli - your scan pics are stunning! I so want my 3d scan now. But the hospital said only from 28 weeks.

Vix - I got some citro soda. Only just had some now so I hope it helps. Thanks for the advise!!

Cath - You are glowing!!
