Feb-May 2011 Mommies

Hi Preggie Fairies

Just back from scan - very stressful had day AND time wrong!!

Anyway thank God I got to see my gynae. Did not realise how stressed out I was until I burst into tears on the examination table!!!

On Sun I had what I thought were TERRIBLY SORE pains for about 5 mins TERRIBLE> I thought this is a miscarriage?!??!? No blood thank God but I was very worried. I also have not felt movement (I think) and I am definitely 20 weeks this week.

So those 2 things - even though I had a scan a week before - made me super stressed!

My lovely gynae (Nicky Clarke) put my mind at rest did the full 20 week scan (super expensive R1900 but there you go) brain, heart, etc etc blood pumping, a whole load of stuff and he is thrilled.

He is also very no nonsense so I know he wouldn't say he was happy if he was not. I'll post some pics when I've scanned them. William looks beautiful and was contentedly sucking his thumb

Going to try and relax now! nice to read all the news, glad you all well!! How's this heat OMG!

Love
Cath

Hi Girls.

Meags - H-buzz called me to book a photo shoot - I will see her this coming weekend. She's doing well. Just busy and still stressing about the baby.

Glad you all are doing well . So who's up to see the gender next?? Meags you should see this week. So exciting!

Karin - I had 3 BIG kicks so far. I can't believe that such a small baby can kick so hard. All 3 times I was standing up and all 3 times it was so hard that I actually bent over a little! Maybe more from shock! LOL. And I've noticed that when I cook and push my belly too hard against the kitchen counters, he / she will come to that area and push out (with other words making me uncomfortable) until I move away. Too cute. Hubby could not feel anything as yet, but I'm sure he would have been able to feel those 3 kicks!

Lucy - Reagan will be pronounced Reegan and Megan is pronounced Megan (not Meagan) so hubby says he doesn't think it's too much alike when I asked him. Choosing a name is hard work!

I cooked oxtail yesterday, started at 1 and we ate at 7 - it was delicious! I also went through a couple of weeks where I could eat no meat, but I'm 100% again!

SIL took Megan to Lion Park on Sat and then to visit friends so Megan told the lady there (remember she's only 2!) the following: Oh you can come to our house for food, but not on a weekend, cause my mommy doesn't cook on a weekend!! Now I'm sure she does not even know what a weekend is! And last night when we told her that it's bed time she said nope, she first wants a spider!! Huh?!

Anyways, my boss is on my case again, so let me get some work done. I think I'm gonna mail him to tell him I'm preggars. There's no other way.

Oh ya - ladies if you are on Discovery and planning on having a c-section you better check with them. As from next year, they won't be paying for planned c-sections and if your gynae says a c-section is necessary, you need a 2nd opinion.

Jessica, I didnt doubt for a second But congrats on getting confirmation again!!

I also need to still pick up my bag. Although Discovery has prob forgotten to send me the letter! Seems that Im not very high on their priority list these days I get different info on whats inside the bag.. seems that some stores you get the bottles and things and other not. Read my topic on the bags. The guy from Discovery said that they change from time to time but it seems asif its still the same old blue bag with the same old books inside that I got with my son.. so kinda boring and Im not overly excited to pick up mine.

Glad its going well with everyone else

Meags, yeah I noticed too (again) when I looked at our due date list that there are quite a few ladies that havent been around since they first announced their news... sad..

Morning Ladies!
Hope everyone had a lovely weekend!

WOW! The pregnant bellies look so darn beautiful!! I LOVE looking at photo's of preggy bellies..hehe... its just so pretty and amazing to see.

Going well with me and baby girl. Think she is growing real good now as I "really" felt here yesterday So happy about that cause I was stressing (just being neurotic) about not really feeling her much.
Can't wait for those big kicks and punches! I know they hurt sometimes but I don't care, just looking forward to it and going to enjoy it as this is my last preggy experience.

Wishing everyone a lovely day!
Chat later.

jessica were you doubting it was a boy? your last scan confirmed boy didnt it?? well glad it's still a boy

where is everyone else??
There are so many ladies who just hardly chat on here anymore...hope everything is going well with them.

h-buzz must also be really busy

Congrats on the baby boy once more

Hi ladies
Well things are going swimmingly with baby. And, the doc confirmed again for me this morning that it’s definitely a boy! LOL

Baby is about 300gr now and is VERY VERY busy.

Oh and I wanted to ask - are the discovery baby bags all the same at the stores or do they differ from store to store? I've registered the pregnancy (only now!) with the medical aid & received the welcome letter that I can go collect my free baby bag.

Who was it that got their already and that had all those nice goodies in! LOL

thx
