Feb-May 2011 Mommies

Thanks Emsmom, but my bday is only 29th August. I dont know why I got my present so early from MIL though. They just phoned yesterday and said we must meet them at the nursery so I can go choose a tree for our garden.

I was not feeling too great at that stage, so let MIL walk with nursery helper, than she called me to look at a tree that cost R900!!!!! So I said I will pay in a bit cause it is a lot, but then she said no, its ok I normally get pressies of about R200 - R300 from in laws.

I will definatly put a electric pump in my budget then. Did not click I will need to express for bottles. Can one express and let hubby feed at times? Like in the niddle on the night???

Wow! I can't believe your in laws own a business together! I cant imagine mine will be able to You kinda lucky in a way. Although I can understand your frustrations sometimes.

Meemo, I didn't think I needed a pump with Em, and then bought a manual pump, I will def get a electric pump this time. It really helps when you need to express for bottles - I also donated my milk, so it helped for that as well. Also then when I had to stop feeding and express just to relieve my boobs, i wished I had an electic one cause I had to pump one handed

Good luck with the family today, I totally understand the polotics involved, its not always nice. My folks and In-laws own a guest house together, and somehow Mat and I get dragged into the middle even if we say we are not interested and it has nothing to do with us... I swear if there is any busines talk today I will scream!

Maybe tell your SIL, is the the type of person that will get upset if she hears it from someone else??

And happy birthday for yesterday!! Hope you had a fantastic day!

For us the second we tell my dad it will be all over the world - when we told him the last time he in 30min changed the plans of the pool he was building to make it fun for a baby, and then started signing all his e-mails "grandpa"

Is it me, or is the writing really small on here today?

Oh Kimika, I am sorry things are not looking good at the moment. But like my hubby always says, everything always works out ok. It has to....

Emsmom - thanks for the list! I think I am only going to buy a breast pump if I need it. Or will I need it?

Lucy - I am a 42 E. Huge My breasts have always been very big, runs in our family. I hope they get smaller after baby and breast feeding, if I will be able to breast feed with such huge boobs If not I will have to go for a reduction after my babies.

Misty - good luck for the job hunting! It is really not nice.

I am scared to tell too many people that we expecting. We told all the parents last weekend, although my mom knew from the first positve HPT. Then we told dh boss and best friend at work, cause I am also frieds with their wives. And thats it.

Dh family is having a huge get together today so we off to there now now. I swear MIL hates me, but she bought me a HUGE birthday pressie yesterday, so dh does not believe me. Maybe now that I am pregnant she is rteally trying to make an effort.

Anyway, my SIL has a 1 year old, and me and SIL dont really get along either. We friendly most of the time, but, ag its difficult to explain. Dh and her don't get along well, so by default I am not her favorite person.
I was wondering if I must tell her today I am preggies, as a peace offering. But I dont know, must still decide.

Hope you girls have a good day. Mondeay tomorrow

OOOh Emsmom looks like we both have a busy day! We are also telling my folks today!

New layout is looking good! Just wish i knew how to change my pic! I have been onto my frofile, but cant see it anywhere!

Hope you all having a fantastic weekend....weather in Cape Town not to bad at the moment!

Kimika and Misty, I'm sorry about the Job situation. Misty where are you based?

If any of you even felt so inclinded, if you refer women to our Egg Donor company and we accept them we pay R500 referal fee for each donor.

It was my dads birthday party last night, and ALL the family friends were there, was so hard not telling people!

But today is the day! at around 1pm we will get Em to tell our parents over lunch and then phone my gran, and then my sister in Aus (its be very hard not telling her, as she was the first person I told with Em) and then we can tell all our friends.

Em also spend the night out last night for the first time NOT at a grandparent, but at one of my best friends and her fav aunty!! And naturall she sleeps through! Something she never does for me! But I'm glad for my friends sake

Also going to finally visit Girly and Kaylee today, and let DH tell her DH that we're PG. They were the first friends we told with Em as well.

Yay, today is going to be fun

Hope the rest of you ladies had and continue to have a great week-end!
