Feb-May 2011 Mommies

Morning all the ladies

Hope you all have a nice weekend. I'll worked on Saturday morning and my suster and her husband come and vissit us. That was very nice, she spoiled me with 'n few things for baby.

Then I'll received my nappy bag frim vitality. And was at woolies, Edgars, and mr prize for baby on board clothes. But unfortanetly I'll dint get anything I'll liked.

Meags - Enjoy your scan, and I'll think of you in this difficult time for you.

Faw - congrats with team pink.

Kaylae - I'll bougt tommee tippee bottles and it is BPA free.

Jessica - can't wait for pics of Bryce room.

Enjoy the day. So far it is not a blue monday.

Thanks for the welcome backs!

Meags - I cant believe how your DH is treating you. i think its so unacceptable, especially since you're pregnant.o I hope he gets a wake up call soon. Be strong for your baba!

Lucy - Has it sunk in yet? About little girl. I still cant say what Im having. somedays I imagine a boy, and others a girl. so Im really hoping we find out at our next scan.

They had a big BPA article in the 'your pregnancy' magazine. Just about all bottles are bpa free now, but you just have to becareful that you dont buy any old stock that isnt. Other countries are by law obliged to take all their old stock off the shelves but not here in SA. Pigeon have a really small amount of BPA, but hardly enough for it to be a problem.
Im still undecided about bottle brands. i wanted to try something different ( i used Avent with Hannah). So I think I may go the Tommee Tippee.

Okay so I have a little question - After intercourse yesterday I noticed a really really tiny winy bit of blood after wiping. Should I be concerned? It has gone today. And baby is still well and kicking.

Ahhh Meags - sometimes men can really be boys! I think it is good you are going to get professional advice. At least you can get your part right. I hope it helps you find some happiness within yourself and for the baby. I think what Kimika said is very true. Hugs friend and I hope it gets better. I am sure once he sees LO his mind will change.

Kimika - How frustrating about the bottles!! Sorry man. Yip I decided to get one pack now since it is sooo cheap and the balance I'll buy in december. I just want to shop for material etc now. Mmmmm maybe on the way home ........... yippeeee!!

Kaylae - both are BPA free. All known brands in SA. Just the pigeon has what they call below detectable levels, my understanding is that it doesn't transfer to the milk with normal use. Pigeon is a really good brand and I hardly think they would risk their reputation with dodgy stuff. I think it is just some of the real cheapies like checkers brands etc that you need to be careful!

Emsmom - how are you feeling? I went to my freinds baby shower this weekend. had loads of fun but very nervous about what they plan for me!!

Jessica - Please post pics of Bryce's room. Did he love it? What theme/ colours etc I must be honest I am a huge animal lover and zoo's depress me so I don't go! I went to the Pretoria one about 18months ago with my SIL and nephews because she threw a royal hissy fit when I said I didn't want to go!! Tried to numb my mind to the poor caged animals.

Tazzy - You had us worried!!! So exciting about the kicks. I am loving my tickles!!

Good luck and enjoy to the scan ladies ...... and I am sure many of you blooming and beautiful preggy ladies owe us belly pics!! Hint hint hint!!

Morning ladies!

Wow, what a hectic weekend you had Meags!
So sorry about your heart ache and the fact that your hubby is really not in tune with you or your needs and feelings right now... That is so unfair, I have to agree. Its so not right for him to be enjoying himself so much and you are so lonely and depressed with out him. But I guess men are just like that sometimes, they really do not think like us and they are a bit selfish unfortunately.
But I really, really hope that he comes around for you and for Matthieu! He will probably as soon as his son is born, so don't worry too much, it will be okay in the end Im sure. You guys are going through a stressfull time right now, gosh, with the big move to Miami and the baby coming... it really is big. Give it time, Im sure all will work itself out. Big (((hugs))) to you, we are all here for you if you need to vent, its perfectly fine.

Faw - Another little "Pinky"!! Gosh, I think we are in the lead now... ? Congrats on your little girl and I love the name Ray, its so beautiful! So happy for you that you are enjoying your job too. Good luck with the rest hun... were thinking of you and hoping that it will go quick and smooth.

HELLO to everyone else! And a big Welcome to Meez!

AFM: Had a great weekend with friends and some family time. It rained about the whole weekend here in George and I love it! So happy about the rain. My baby girl is doing well I think, she still moves around now and then, not as much as I would like, hehe, but I know it's still coming.
Seeing her on Friday afternoon and so looking forward to that! Going to be my big scan, anomaly scan, so also praying everything will be well.

Have a lovely day all!

Meags-all the best with the scan

Don't worry much about DH your bundle of joy will make life a whole easier.He will blame himself for not bonding with the child from word go

Ag man Meags I hope through everything your feeling at the moment that you still have an awesome scan today.

It really is selfish of him to act that way and I wouldve been just as upset as you are. It does make bonding with your baby and being overall content so much harder when the other factors are making you worry and unhappy. All I can say to you on that is once your baby is born you will live for him and it really does make all other things in life easier to handle knowing you have that little guy's unconditional love every second of the day! No matter what goes wrong in one's life your babies are there to just love and care for And they are always happy and smiling!

Kaylae, Tommy Tippee bottles are def BPA free

Im so happy I can go buy the suede material for the little animals today and can start making them up So Im off to do that.. will chat again later! xxx

Hi ladies

Kaylae - all other bottles in South Africa are BPA free. But as MommyN said, the Pigeon bottles are not dangerous...just thought I'd mention the BPA thing cos I know some people are strict about it.

Kimika sorry about your melted bottles!!!!!! You must have been so annoyed!!!

so what a night for me.
By 10pm I decided to just try sleep (through the crying) and left the internet connected just in case. At 10:30pm DH skyped me.
Of course he didnt even apologise immediately. Just acted like nothing was wrong (despite seeing about 15 missed calls from me on his phone). And I HATE that. I hate it when he acts like nothing is wrong. Also, one of the first things he said is "AAAHH I'm so hungover". Like that makes the situation better...

So anyway. I basically just gave 1 word answers to everything he asked. I was really pissed off - especially since the reason he didnt call or answer his phone is because he was so drunk last night that he overslept today and didnt hear his phone or the hotel phone ring or anything. I was also pissed off that he went to a nightclub after knowing how I feel about it.

So after 45 minutes of crying and shouting at him, I managed to try have a normal conversation. He kept asking if I forgive him and kept saying sorry. I just said he's really f**ked up and there is definitely no forgiving today.

We did manage to chat for another hour after that about 'normal' stuff. But I have still woken up feeling hurt.

One thing that also upset me is he said there are so many great cruises there etc and we have to go. I asked if we'd go before Matthieu is born and he just said we can leave the baby with a nanny. I really feel like he doesnt particularly want this baby and kind of resents me/the baby in a way because we are interfering in his life in Miami.

I, in turn, feel like I am not bonding properly with the baby, knowing that DH isnt very enthusiastic about him. Yesterday we went to Sandton and my mom bought almost everything for a boy from Woolies and Edgars and I still wasnt feeling that excited

I have made an appointment to see a relationship advisor on 12 November. I just feel so alone in this pregnancy and I'm growing more and more concerned about how things will be once Matthieu is born.

Sorry for the selfish post!!!
Got my scan at 11 at Maryke with my mom so will catch up with everyone later.

Thanks everyone for being so supportive. I dont know what I'd do without you
