Feb-May 2011 Mommies

oohh thread was quiet today....
EmsMom so glad your scan went so well and your gynae is so supportive of your choices

MistyMom - I'm not sure you will find sexy bra's!! Maternity bra's here are just not that great...

I bought a new phone (R170!) so no more anger from me

otherwise went to the hospital I worked at last year to see everyone. They are shocked how big I am. Anyway that is becoming old news. But it was nice to see everyone again.

I have so many chores to do but each day find an excuse not to do them!! I also visited the babies at the orphanage today, man they are SO cute!!!

Fawhaway...good to see you in good spirits. I did not make the CT meet either as my sister is visiting form Ireland (so have also been missing a bit from moomie)., Gosh do not know how you stand all day! My feet start getting sore after an hour or 2! Where are you doing your hypnobirthing clases? Thinkning may also want to do them?

LILY81 - WELCOME always nice to have a new moomie! Hope you stick around...I have learnt so much from all the girls here...its great to be able to chat about all our joys and worries adn gives our DH a break from all the pregnancy talk (which i think can bore them at times). And CONGRATES on the pregnancy.

Kimika - please change my 8 december scan date to 13 December (changed the time as DH will be away on 8th). Also I am going again on 21 December fro my BIG 22 week scan (oooh cant wait)...so please add that. TY Then think will go fro my 4D peek a babe scan early January when i will be about 24/5 weeks! OOH yes book a asurprise scan fro Saturday!!!!

Jessica - yay on good news from scan...love the bike comment....its great Bryce already feels love for his brother!!

Emsmom - shame you really have had a bout of illness in the family lately (as far as I remmeber?) Hope that is that for this year!! SOrry seemed to ahve missed the part about swelling...what is swelling (besides your belly?). I am struggling to get my wedding ring on...hands and feet seem to swell? Yay that all well with scan...its so cute hey? Last time we focused on one little hand which seemed to be waving at us! Cool re VBAC! What is slow mag?? Can you get it over the counter??

Wow Schatsie...happy anniversary for yesterday!..Bet you never thought you would get married and pregnant this year? Its been a crazy year for us as well....got engaged, then married, then bought a house, then fell pregnant (and inbetween I got retrenched and found a new job). The main thing is you are in a happy place now! Your wedding sounds like it is going to be so special. And I LOVE spitbraais...cant rememeber the last one I had!

KarinM - thank you fo rposting pics...your kiddies look so sweet and bump coming along nicely.. Bet they cant wait for baby to arrive! What a lovely quote...TY for sharing!

Meags...ooh phones!!! (lost one this year) and step mothers (well at least do not have one of those!!!). love the new ticker...hope you do not mind...will probably copy you!

AnjeD - dont worry....we all having those crazy preganacy dreams (I was breast feeding my cats!!)

Joli - so true...also dont want to know...but always try have a littel peek!

AFM...sister leaving tomorrow But was so nice having her for this last minute surprise visit! We went bra shopping today (sadley non of my lovely le senza bras seem to fit me any more. Was quite upsetting. The 38DD now seem to fit....we were in woolies and all the bras fitted but made me look like an old lady! Sis said that the main thing is that they fit and comfy...but I did not buy as sure I can find something that fits and comfy but still makes me feel a little sexy and femanine? So the hunt is on....CT lovely weather again. We having chicken salad for supper...tring to do the healthy thing! Enjoy the evening girls and chat soon

Lucy-now you really made me very curious about my baby's gender.Where the dr pointed as possibility of girl's parts it was only 2 white balls not 3 or 4 stripes,that was 17 weeks and now can't wait for my 21 weeks scan.OMW.....Glad that Tessa is doing super great.Will also love to see your nursary.Will be putting up my LG's room when we move in to our new house,just praying that my goods that I got from the internet arrive by then.It is Winnie the pooh.I also love the perks of the bumb especially on queues LOL....

Kimika-I also do my SARS online and have submitted a long ago that I even ate the money Just register it is safe and convinient.

Meags-You really have a wicked step mother just like snow white but glad that you can put her into her place.

Emsmom-Happy that baby is active and all is well.You are a better woman than me,now I am very curious to find out baby's gender,not that it will change anything either way,Lucy made me curious

Joli-Oh Joli you are curious admit it.

Great news EmsMom!! So happy all is well with bambino... so I take it you didn't get a peek between the legs then...
Sorry... we're just so curious to know!

Thanks Kimika you are a hunny..your bump is adorable and I loved all the stories.. I will try for Jan I promise

Ok we're back

Baby is nice and big and healthy! Moving lots! Still measuring a little big for his/her age, but only by 5 days or so.
He focused on the little foot, was so cute

He is perfectly happy for me to go for a vbac, says there really is no risk at all. He did recommend that if baby is still breech at 38 weeks then c-section and if I have not delivered after 12 hours of active labour as well. I will agree with him on those. He has marked that my friend will be the doula, and DH will be with me. Says its a good idea that we have both so support each other as well. But for now he see's no reason why I shouldnt have a sucessful vbac. He is happy I am doing the hypnobirthing as well.

So all in all a good appointment. Our big fetal scan is on the 23rd December, so looking forward to that as well. Then I'll see Dr again in Jan.

He said I can take slow mag for the water retention and should give me some energy as well! I have gained 7kg in total, but I think at least half of that is water! But he says is normal and unless my blood pressure spikes or get protein in urien then there is nothing to worry about at all.

Hahahaha for the ladies wanting to peak between the legs ...... my little girl has 4 bright white lines that are super easy to see. I think the bits in between make the 3 stripes. But to me the 4 stripes are the most obvious. White like the bones show up white!!

Karin - I loved that quote!

Happy day everyone. It is pouring in durbs and have got wet 2 already. My garden is loving it though!
