Feb-May 2011 Mommies

Mommy Jess and Meags - The french version of Mia is Amia and it means love!! Meags tell hubby ..... made up, schmade up!! I love Amia and was considering it as a second name if we'd had a girl!

You have got me excited with the muscle twitch stories. Sometimes, maybe about 5 times I have had this funny feeling.... best way to describe it is, you know when you are really tired and your eye twitches, well that is the feeling I get in my tummy. Especially when I am twisted and may be squashing Seb - oops! Thought it was way to soon!

Cath - I'll still be in la la land (I hope) but I'll be dreaming of you having a wonderful scan.

Karin and Karen- how did it go?

Welcome Sher!

Faw - Sorry hun. I have a feeling it has taken you a long time to get to this descision and that you have thought it through. Good luck. Also all the best with your app, I hope he sorts the bleeding out quickly. Yippee for the money!!

Joli - Have you told the boss? Good luck with the shoot!

Kimika, we are very close hey!! I think identical due dates at this moment in time!

Thanks Kimika, I'll definitely share the pics as soon as I get them! It will definitely give me huge relief just to see William wriggling around! Thank goodness for Maryke!!! 7am tomorrow!
Wish me luck!
Cath

kimika - no reason just because my gynea said it would be better. WELL I'm sorry I listened!

ooo yipee was out the whole morning and now I have 2 pages to read!!

Joli, sorry your family is sick! Take extra care, being sick while preggie is just too horrible! And about the braxton hicks.. it does seem a bit early.. I started getting them at about 22wks or so with my son, but Im sure it could be very normal with your 3rd pregnancy! We were at the wildcoast at the time and I remember well how bad they got when I was walking on the beach! Thank goodness Ihavent had them so far!

Ok so I wont be bugging you anymore to find out the gender Ill just try be patient! hehe..

Sher-baby = welcome! Ill add your info to page 1.

Cath, enjoy your scan!!! Please come share your pics!! Dont worry about not feeling the flutterings. With my son I felt a small kick at 16wks and then nothing again until 21wks!! Even now the little kicks are so light that if I didnt know it was them I wouldnt even have noticed. So I expect only to feel real KICKS at about 20wks.

Mommy-jess, your hubby has a big surprise waiting And I also like Meia!

Meags, glad your back! It couldve been the baby you felt.. Ive never been able to distinguish the feeling as bubbles or butterflies.. for me the best way to describe it is that it feels like a muscle twitching Or literally tiny little person kicking the inside of your belly Sorry you had such a horrible dream.. they really seem to be so vivid when preggie! I must say that I had the most amazing dream this morning.. dreamt I was a special agent working on a case with another guy and older woman.. I was kick-ass good!!! And the agent guy working with me.. ahhh.. let me say no more

Rakker, glad all is well with baby!!! I also hope your baby shows gender when you go again.

Emsmom, are your parents also going to Aus?? ooo and lollipops count as food dont they?

Jess, I also say go give it a try for VBAC!! Cant remember who your gynae is.. I think best chances for that is to have a gynae willing to atleast give you a trial of labor. And then ofcourse staying home in your relaxed and comfy environment also helps in the first stages.. before you go to hospital. What were your reasons for C-sec last time?

Faw, sorry to hear about your decision with the divorce.. but saying that I actually think your doing the right thing.. rather move on with your life so you can plan and care for your kids on your own.. its not asif he is supporting you anyway! Not emotionally and def also not financially. You have no security with him. Good luck with your appointment next week. Make sure to tell gynae about the bleeding.. maybe you just have a very low lying placenta? If not he needs to find out why you are bleeding

Karen, glad all is well with you guys!!!

I bought a really nice pair of denim shorts at Mr Price for R90. Gotta love em

Thx for the link meags.

Girls names.... I've always like the name Cassidy for a girl (scottish meaning: the clever, ingenious one)

Boys name...... I've always like the name Zachary (Hebrew origins meaning remembered by God) for a boy & the name Cullen (Gaelic origins meaning Handsome; good-looking lad)

But for my baby I'm leaning towards either of the following 2:
RILEY (MEANING VALIANT) ALEXANDER (MEANING DEFENDER OF MANKIND)
CAELAN (MEANING POWERFUL WARRIOR) ALEXANDER (MEANING DEFENDER OF MANKIND) RICHARDSON

DH likes the name Mason but I told him there is NO WAY IN HELL I'm giving my son a name that means Bricklayer!!! Especially when Bryce's name means ambitious.
