Feb-May 2011 Mommies

Karin - If your maid is a traditional black south african, she will be thinking that she is complimenting you. So she is probably playing it up to stay in your good books and doesn't realise that she is upsetting you. I think just try to understand her culture and where she is coming from. I bet if you ask your DH he will say that you are glowing and absolutely beautiful. If you are carrying a LG your skin is probably looking fab too. So try focus on the positives of pregnancy ..... sometimes hard but they are there!! Oh and try enjoy that cleavage that should brighten your day (and many men that you encounter - you'll have an appreciative audience and feel loads better!!) I am being a bit naughty but it is fantastic to boost your spirits.

Morning girls.

Glad to see everyone is doing well.

Meags ~ thanx for the explanation on the braxton hicks. I think I might have had some recently as you describe your tummy going rock hard....

I'm sommer down today... I really hate not feeling good about my body now that I'm pregnant... Its darn stupid and I hate it! But... this morning my maid came in and she made a comment that really sucked.... She came in, laughed and said that every week she gets here Im just rounder... my face and everything.
It gets to me. Oh well, I'll survive. I feel my little angel kicking and all is well with the world.

Have a lovely day ladies.

MistyMom - I didn't twig you were Shannon from TTC either!! Often wondered what had happened to you! LOL!! Now I know.

Jessica-B- Looks like you have a big healthy boy on board. Congrats!! Please sneak a pic on here too of the party ..... scary I don't even know the theme of your party, guess I am going to be doing a crash course soon!! I'm guessing gummy bears and Tom and Jerry aren't cool anymore - LOL!!

Kaylae - I was just telling you I still sleep on my tummy!! Well last night at karate I couldn't do one of the exercises where you have to lie on your tummy .... so I thought of you. But with my soft preggy roll on the bed I am still coping. I guess my days may be numbered.

Emsmom - How are you coping today hun?

Areej and Rakker - Hey

Tazzy - hellooooo, I still haven't heard back from bloody discovery!!

Kimika - I thought the same thing about Meags and BH!! Oh enjoy the kicks. Still nothing my side. But Tessa moves alot all day and night and I love that feeling. I just want the kicks so DH can join in!

Schatsie - Good luck

Ok so maybe now I can type the rest of my post!

Meags, I think you are feeling the BH because you know what they are supposed to feel like! I think a lot of ladies experience it but are just not sure what it is until much later when they become so much stronger and more regular. With my son I felt them from 22wks and so far with this little one Ive only felt them slightly the last 3 or 4 days.. so barely that if I havent experienced them before I wouldnt have know it was BH.

Schatsie, Im glad your gynae can rather see you today than let you wait for tomorrow. You need some peace of mind on the spotting to make sure everything is ok. Sorry hubby cant be there! let us know as soon as you come from your appointment xxx

Mistymom, hey I never realised you were Shannon from the TTC thread hehe.. I dont think you can do papsmears while preggie.. but they do one with your 6wk checkup after birth so you will still be ok until then. Pls Pls post a pic of your nappy bag.. Im still on the hunt

I hope that was all of it.. cant remember anymore.

My little guy has been kicking up a storm!! The kicks now feel like little shocks from the inside. He even kicked so low down I though his foot was going straight through Such a comforting thing

Hi ladies!!!

Sorry I've been so quiet lately - things have been hectic with Bryce's birthday last sunday & his party this past saturday - we did Handy Manny and it turned out beautifully!!!! Will post pics on FB

From my side - things are still going well. My EDD is now up to 4 March for now and Riley is doing fine.

My next appointment is on 15 November..... wonder how much he would have grown by then if he's about 400g now?

Hi Ladies,

I haven't been on for a while, i've been so busy with and school....its been crazy.

No personals sorry!

Went for my 16wk scan last week, LO had his/her toes in the mouth....lol

Then we tried looking for sex, gynae says he cant be 100% sure, but it looks like a boy, he is like kinda 90% sure....hubby really wants a girl, but alas, 90% is 90% i guess huh,

I have my fetal assessment on the 07 December at 23wks, so u guess we will see then.....

Will log in again later

*tight hugs*

Karin, sorry you didnt get some good pics of baby. But all sounds asif its going perfectly!

Emsmom, sorry the news wasnt all good for your sister. But hopefully they will sort her out in no time and then she wont look back. Thank goodness she went for her papsmear or else they wouldnt have been able to pick it up! Thats why we women need to be very strict with ourselves about going for all kinda check-ups.. you can just never be too sure. Keep us updated on how it goes with her.. will be thinking of her!!! xxx

Joli, ag it was sommer a whole crapload of things at once. So I can kinda feel for you on what you experienced last week. My heart goes out to you for feeling so down. Ill inbox you on FB tomoz *lotsa hugs*

Ok sorry girls.. gotta go quickly.. only got as far as reading up to Meags news about the braxton hicks.. will come post later again !
