Feb-May 2011 Mommies

Emsmom-Thanks for the words of comfort,you put a smile on my sad face.I just couldn't stop crying and had my sister to remind me that it is not good for babatjie,its just that I never enjoy my pregnancies even with the 1st one insults were haulted on me but I gather my strength from the Lord and He comforts me and gives me people like you to say it will be okay.Oh I stay in Kriel next to Secunda

Anje-do enjoy your scan and come tell us the gender,but looks like team boys is winning

Hi ladies, looking forward to my scan today at 13h15. I'll let you know as soon as possible, dr is ussually late with her appointments.

Meags, I was just about to say what Vix said. Most guys only get exited after baby is born. We spoke to friend the other day, they have two boys (5yr and 7 yr). He said that when his wife was pregnant and when the kids were babies, he wasn't really involved with them, his words, they were just there and he couldn't do much with them. But now he is enjoying them so much and they prefer to be with him rather than with his wife, they do boys stuff now. Maybe your husband is the same. Stay strong, I am sure it will change.

Enjoy your day ladies !!

Morning ladies!

how are we all doing?

Kaylae, I am so so sorry for what happened! I cannot believe that your autn said something so cruel and heartless! Personally I would cut her out of my life forever. A child made in love, even if not a planned one - is your child! No matter how much money you have. As long as you love your child, wordly things do not matter. Stray strong and remember we are here for you. Where do you live again??

Meags, sorry about your sad night. I think perhaps you were banking on the baby being a boy to get your DH invoved. And now that he is the same, and you're not getting the little girl you wanted it might have all been too much for you.
I know its said time and time again, but wait till baby is born, you'll see the change in your DH.

I'm sorry if I'm one of those women who make you feel bad when talking about my DH. But all men are very different. I'm 100% sure your DH loves you and the baby very much, but some men are too manly to actively show this. Stay strong.

AnjeD, good luck for the scan!

AFM, today I'm actually just chilling, yesterday I was buggered! I slept in the afternoon and was still dead tired when DH got home. Also I couldn't stop eating!! Think my body needed some rest and re-fueling! So today, thats what it gets.

How are the rest of you all doing?

Hugs to you all!

Wooohoooo!!!! Congrats on the BOY Meags!!!! You're going to love having a boy!!

Oh and pls relax about your DH, mine was exactly the same! Mens are real SHITS in general!!! The nice, attentive & lovey-dovey maternal ones are VERY FEW & far between. My 1st pregnancy my DH only came with to 2 appointments (1 the Sonar & 2 the 3rd scan). This time he hasn't come to any so far. And by constantly nagging & pushing him is just going to eventually create more tension & resentment on both sides.

So chill out and YOU enjoy YOUR pregnancy - DH will come round eventually. (Mine only really started "coming round" when Bryce started interacting with him). All men are different and react to being a dad in a different way. In your mind you've been a mom since you fell pregnant am I right? Now a man is the opposite, he'll only be a dad when the baby is born (or sometime afterwards).

(((((BIG BIG HUGS)))))) to all the rest of you too!

Congratulations Meags,enjoy buying spiderman and ben 10 most boys fas over these things.Sorry about DH but as you know we are in the same boat.Hope all will be well.

MistyMom-I booked my bed with my LG at 38 weeks,I knew the hospital so didn't want a tour.Now I am not sure when I will be booking.I just love their goodies bay,no need to buy a nappy bag as the bag is a nappy bag,get a teddy bear,bum creams,diapers,auquas cream,baby powder....Oh some I forgot....

AFM-last night DH(dum husband)made me angry,I asked him for a foot rub and he said no my LG can do it.I was very pissed.This morning my aunt phones me she is a midwife and said I had disapointed her why don't I go and abort I just can't help myself I feel like crying

Lekker weekend everyone

Oh Meags, I just read your last post now, sorry you're feeling so down hun!

I have one of those DH's and we actually have a great relationship because by now i have learnt to accept that he views things very differently. They say opposites attract, that's exactly what me and my DH are!

I keep trying to get him to feel and watch the babies move and he does it when i grab his hand and force it but he actually has no desire to do it off his own back. For him the cutesy touching feeling phase comes after they are born. I was quite upset in my 1st pregnancy that he didn't seem as excited as me but this time around i know that's just how he is.

Once your boy is born you will see he will be crazy mad about him it's just that some men have a hard time relating their emotions to something they don't see and feel everyday. For us as women it's easier because we sense the presence of our baby from very early on.

Keep your chin up chick and remember to vent vent vent away because that is why us ladies are all here...........so we don't kill our DH's LOL

Meags- Congrats on your BOY!!!!! i also had a feeling you would have a boy in there! Can't wait to see you and your boy tummy on wednesday!!!!
