Feb-May 2011 Mommies

Kimika-- I am soo very sorry and sad to hear wat u guys are gng thru, and this is deff the time for u to be stress free and to relax.. It certainly doesn't look like u have any major support from ur parents.. So if he can't help the others does dat mean he wnt even try n make an effort with the one tht needs help right now!! But I pray that u guys find ur footing soon enuff,, I rem now the other day u being so excited about dh taking up his studies again.. But pls hang in there,I know its easy for me to say but crying is not gonna help.. Just be strong for u n ur family n soon u will see everything will be okay..

Emsmom and Mistymom how did your news go?? The family must be so excited now And Meemo did you tell your SIL?

Mistymom, when youve clicked on your profile and it has opened, at the top left, just above your name there is a button that says edit when you have your cursor over it, it will drop down, then click on update image. Then just brose your pic. But it needs to be the correct size so you will prob have to make it a bit smaller first.

Emsmom, Ill keep the egg donation in mind. Do you take male donors aswell?? Oh and your dad sounds really sweet

I got so cross with my dad the other day. So we phoned everyone near and dear while we were on holiday early June. And knowing my parents theyre not the type that will jump over the moon on hearing the news. Although they love their grandchildren they always seem to have negative comments on pregnancies??!! Ok anyway so while on holiday I phoned my mom and told her Im preggies upon which she said "shame". And so I told her to tell my dad. (I didnt need another irritating comment) So now the other day we said something about the baby and then he said all innocently "what baby" and then suddenly acted as if he had no idea Im pregnant!! And my mom was sitting there with this sly smile on her face asif it was a big joke that my dad didnt know. She def told him (she would never be able to keep something like this to herself) I was so upset.. but ag what.. they are just who they are

Lucy, enjoy the scan and come tell all as soon you can!

Ok here goes another rant: I cant say too much.. you never know who's watching But it boils down to someone pulling a sneeky move on us and the result will be that we most likely will not be earning one cent of commision for 4 months Its currently our only income!! Hubby is now looking for an engineering job but will prob only get a students or trainee saliry Its so horrible. Ive been crying so much the last few days that the skin underneath my eyes are raw. There is no way we can even pay anything like medical aid, cellphones etc now end of the month. Dont know what were going to do! Weve been to my dad to tell him about our situation and ask if he cant help us and he (after the whole pregnancy issue) only said that he wont help one of his kids (were 4 children) because he cant help all of us! But he offered that we move in with them. I dont know what to do. Its such a mess.

Sorry that I have to offload all my baggage here but really cant talk to anyone in the family, they just keep asking what were going to do. Thats why I said my baking wont be enough I need to find a job, but who is going to take someone preggie?? And every now and then the thought crosses my mind that I kept telling hubby we need to wait a bit before fallign pregnant But I dont want to get those thoughts!!!

Ok Im done now Ill just keep faith that things will work out and that we will get through the next few months.

Good luck for your scan tomorrow Tazzy! So exciting!! what time are you going?

Hi Girls,

Emsmom - how exciting for spreading the news. I have still only told a handful of people.

Meemo - I dont think Ive said Welcome!! I would also suggest a breastpump. I had a manual one last time but am also considering buying an electric one for this baba.
The only down side about expressing and letting DH help with the night feeds is that when your skip a feed your boobs hurt like crazy. Mine went rock hard and really hurt.
But if you get your body in tune to skip the same feed every night then it will be fine.

Lucy - You must jut relax! There is nothing you can or cant do now. Its out of your hands. Everything will fine this time. When is your first scan?So exciting

Kimika - I hope things work out for you. If you lived closer Id definately buy some of those icecream cupcakes...mmmmm my mouth is watering as I type this.

Ive got my scan tomorrow morning, Im so excited!

Well we told the world The grandparents were so overwhelmed and tearing up at the news. All super happy.

Em kept on lifting up my top to see the baby, had to explain that it was so tiny and would grow and grow till my tummy was about to pop and then the doc would cut the baby out She keeps calling it her baby. Very sweet.

Went to visit Girly and Kaylee, she is a such a sweet little thing, was very lucky that I got to hold her Girly is doing well, little bit of pain, but was happy and drugged when we got there

Lucy FX for you over this period.

Misty how did the parents react??

meemo, how did the gathering go? Did you tell SIL?

Meags how are you doing?

The rest of you ladies? Hope all is going well.

Hope you are all having a fab weekend! Sounds like lots of parties and "breaking the news" going on. Good Luck! EmsMom your idea sounds so cute!

Kimika and Misty - I hope things work out. Not nice to be so stressed when you are preggy.

I also do the toilet paper check, even sometimes when I don't need the loo I go and check! I also angle for the best light!! Today is the day that I started spotting with my last pregnancy .... so extra neurotic! Clear so far. FX!!!

I must be honest I haven't done any research or googling this time around. Feeling too grotty. Although Klk told me the foot massage DH gave me is not a good idea as you have points on your feet connected to your uterus!! Eek!

Looking forward to hearing how today went with everyone! (Emsmom if you see this please tell Girly I say Hi and give her a big hug- Thanks!)

Wow, thats a lovely gift. I love gardening, and can't wait for spring to get started on my new creation

Of course you can express and ask DH to help with nighttime feeds, its what my plan is for this time, at least while DH is on leave And of course when they get babysat its easire than me having to rush home to feed.

Ya, for the most part we all get along very well and they often go away on holidays together. my folks even stayed in their granny flat while waiting for their house to be finished, for like 3 months. My inlaws are not always easy people, but they ahve good hearts and will always go above and beyond to help us in anyway we can and they are fantastic grandparent.

DH is an only child so I have mo SIL or anything, and my little sister is getting married to a man that I've known longer than she has and was a close friend of DH in school, so we all get along well.

I must say I'm very lucky.
