Feb-May 2011 Mommies

Meags, dont get too excited yet, I'm only toying with the idea. Will see how the pregnancy progresses.

Lovely that DH is getting involved and wants to support you!

Faw - good luck today. And wonderful aabout the food parcell you got!

Anyways, today is back into routine, but at least the weather looks good enough for me to enjoy the day. I do however need to go and get some new bra's, mine are officially too small.

Oh, I did buy one baby thing on the week-end - a cute white babygrow with one yellow porcupine and one green one. Will be the baby's coming home from hospital outfit. My mom bought the matching blacket as well.

I really need to get started on my Christmas gifts! I've been so lax and I can feel the deadline sneeking up on me!

Kimika my dad wants r1000 a month. As long as i pay i can stay.
My son doesn't walk properly, he walks on the inside of his right foot. And his left side is much stronger than his right. When he crawlled he would drag his right foot. So it needs to be sorted out before it gets worse. Today gift of the givers came to visit and brought a huge food parcell for us. I was crying. They brought meat, fish, tea, sugar, milk, rice, baking powder, cake flour, vanilla essence, baked beans, custard powder, cereal, curry powder, chilli bite mix and some other things. I emailed them and they called me today to tell me they would be delivering. I am blessed.

oh yes I was a little shocked with DH...
we were talking about ante natal classes and him supporting me throughout labour and I mentioned I'd like my mom in the room to support me too as I am not sure DH will know what to do.

He was so cross!!!!!! He said there is no way my mom is allowed in the room - only him. And that he will learn how to support me!! hehe.

hi ladies

Lucy - I think I feel some soft movements every now and then. but not every day. and maybe only twice during a day and I'm still not convinced it's even the baby!!! When I lie down with my hands on my uterus (even for an hour) I feel nothing. But when I'm out having lunch or coffee with a friend, I sometimes feel soft fluttering. so really not sure if it's baby or not!

Faw - GOOD LUCK FOR THE INTERVIEW!!! I really hope this is the beginning of a new life for you xx

EmsMom, sounds like you had a nice time away! and personally, I'm very excited that you may try for a natural this time

mommy-jess, what a nice way to end the day for you!!!

kimika I will send Meemo a message on FB. She doesnt seem to be around much here or FB though

Hey ladies

Sorry that I wont be doing personals, far too many pages to catch up on But glad everyone seems to be doing ok. Cath, glad you got to see your little boy!
faw, good luck for the interview tomorrow!

I had a wonderful week-end. at the hot springs with my folks and ouma. My dad took Em alot, and esp when she woke in the mornings for swims so Mat and I could lie in. I also got to have a nap every afternoon while they played with Em.
Em had such a fab time! She made friends, swam tons, there were so many peacocks, and each time Em walked past the one would fluff up its tail.

We also went to a winefarm for a braai yesterday - with the people who actually own the run the farm. I got a whole new appriciantion for rain! When a grown man, a rough boere man, cries with joy when it rains, its really touching! They are so needing rain now, and as we left it was raining! Amazing!

Ladies I'm seriously considering a natural birth. Now you all most likely know me as the most pro c-section lady there is, but now I need to think about costs as well, and well natural is so much cheaper, not to mention I will be able to drive in a day or two, which is easier for Em.
I'm not scared of pain, cause well I'll have an epidural. I dont like not knowing when the baby will come - I'm very much a control person in that regard. But ya... will have to think about it. i know DH would like me to have a c-section. But he's seem bad naturals with a family so I think he's a bit worried about that.

Hi Ladies

Awesome news on all the scans!! Cath I am so sorry for your scare and am so glad it was just that, a scare! William is gorgeous

I still haven't got my new computer so just got to make do with DH's when he isn't using his.
I haven't been well today! My back is aching and so are my arms and ankles. I think I have a low grade temp, with headache and nausea. I have what I thought was a flea bite and it has come up like a boil. My glands in my groin area are also all swollen. So I am not sure if it is a spider bite or tick bite fever, but I have booked an appointment for tomorrow afternoon with the doctor. I am terrified for Sebastien and find myself extra emotional. Grrrrr!
Hope it is nothing but an off day and a complete coincidence.

Faw - Good luck for your interview. I'll be holding thumbs for you.

Kimika - I get those wind pains too. They are super ouch. Less frequent now in 2nd trimester, thank goodness.

Meags - Have you felt anything again. I am sure I am. It is so regular and in the same spot, doesn't move around like wind. I have felt it a lot of evenings now. Last night I put my ipod on my tummy and within 2 or 3 minutes I felt it again!

Mommy-jess thats great Well done to your broker!!
