Feb-May 2011 Mommies

Meags, how was your day at the spa??

Hayley, whats your POA????

Lucy, your naturally skinny so I think its quite normal to not gain so much. Your baby will take what she needs, as long as you eat healthy and take your vitamins and water she will be fine!!!! And then atleast you dont have to struggle afterwards to get back into shape. You deserve a typo.. lucKy

Oooo I have forgotten to look at the take2 website

Mistymom, ok regards the nipples I tried staying away from that subject but I feel I want to give my opinion now Mine with my son did go very dark during pregnancy, that does help with breastfeeding as it toughens them up. Thats why you dont really need to *prepare* them for breastfeeding. Mine never went bigger.. thank goodness since everything else did ! Ok after I stopped breastfeeding (did so for 8 months) they returned to original color but the shape did not go back to normal..they are now permanently perky And thats not the way I like them.. but ahh well.. guess they go along with the stretchmarks, vericose veins, flabby tummy and cutest little smiling angelface I have to show for being a mom

I cant believe how scan deprived we are this week! We need to schedule our appointments better so we dont have to go another week with only 2 ladies going for scans hehe..

hi ladies

proper post tomorrow but just wanted to say the nipples never go back...they stay large and darker!

Misty - I am also a first timer so I am not sure ....... but I have a sneaky suspicion that they never be the same again, as with many other parts of our body!!

where is evrybody???

OMG....was inthe bath now an dlooked downand my nipples are HUGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

called DH in a panic LOl but he said that as long as they do the job right g=he does not mind what they look like!!!!

silly question...will they ever go back to there normal size??

kaylae - got it at the baby show. It was R580 (pressie from dh). Made by a lady called sue in pinelands ct - also available online:

www.suzimac.co.za/

Schatsie - no connection, just the price in pounds! Beleive it or not even paying in pounds works out to costing about half teh price in SA! have bought a lot online for baby via Take2. The pram and cot though were from mothercare and my father in law was bringing a countainer shipment over so no transport fees! If you look on Take2 website and go look at more uk or more usa you can buy anything from amazon in uk or usa and ofetn loads cheaper than baby city etc. And delivery is only R30 or free if you collect yourself (they in montague gardens). Graco is a great brand (I think - like you a newbe mom so have nothing to compare it to). wow were you all excited like me and testing out how it all works?? Congrates on your new pram!!

Areej - lol....hubby pillow!! Spiders...well i had a spider story yesterday (opened the postbox and a MASSIVE spider came running out - droped the lid in fright and chopped off 2 of its legs ....felt so sorry for spider,,,but theose big rain hairy ones freak me out! DH has to sort it out when he got home form work) as for weird dreams..nothing yet! But heard it is common

KarinM - love the pic!! You looking lovely

Meags - oooh you so lucky!!!!!

Kimika yay that not all weight gain!! We need a new bathroom scale battery so have not weighed myself in 2 weeks....now not looking forward to it!!

feeling so tired today...last few nights i wake up at 3am and struggle to get back to zzzz event though i am tired!!!

Em – It is ok to feel a little emotional, hope you feel better soon though.

Mistymom – wow, love the bag and the travel system, and I can definitely feel your enthusiasm. It is all so exciting. Hehe, hope baby is as easy as your dolly  And I love the baby pic, the 12 week baby scan was the best one yet for me.

Kaylae – Congrats on the possible team pink !! And glad you enjoyed the scan.

Oooh Meags, enjoy the Mangwanani session !!

Areej, lucky you, my husband heats up to quickly for me to sleep all over him. I heard that vivid dreams are normal, lucky I have not had any yet.

Karin, already said it, but I love your belly pic !!!

Schatsie, congrats on setting the date !! Hope you find a fabulous place for the honeymoon.

Ah shame Kimika, I also get days where my tummy is really tight and uncomfortable. Glad you feel beter today.

AFM: I am feeling a little bloated today, but I am sure it is only baby growing nicely.

Hope you girls have a great day !!

Emsmom - Give yourself time to process this. Be sad and don't feel bad about. You'll start feeling better soon. I also bought a pram ...at 12 weeks LOL!!

Misty - Looks awesome, love your kitty. Mine does the same.

Schatsie - FX I am not a early boob leaker. hee hee. Although my colleague commented to me today that you may not be able to see my bump but my boobs sure are huge! Eek! Congrats on setting a date and sorry I'm a kzn girl!

Areej - I had bizarre dreams earlier in my pregnancy. Not anymore, although I can't sleep. I am exhausted and not getting more than 3 hours a night. Grrrrr

Karin - Beautiful!!

Meags - I had 2 kicks and nothing! Also just back to the normal movement.

Kaylae - Congrats, DH will come round!

Kimika - Thanks for milk info and well done on the weight loss. I am battling to pick up weight. Still a little below my starting weight!! We will never be happy, makes me worry about Tessa though.

Hayley - I'll go squizz now
