mommies to be DECEMBER 2010

Hi ladies

Fancyface, wishing you strength through this tough time and of course you need to do what is best for your kids.

Simone, hope you're enjoying your maternity leave!

Suhaila, I keep wondering if you've given birth yet!!!!

Miksmummy, hang in there, almost at the finish line. Maybe you should do something creative to try and involve Miks in the whole process.

AFM, I can't believe its my last week at work... well thats if I even make it through this week at this rate.

This morning at about 3 am, I had a couple of really painful contractions- I actually woke up out of my sleep screaming because of it (probably scared hubby more than anything else). Anyway, it didn't last very long before going away completely (another light contraction around the time my alarm went off at 6). Are these really bad Braxton Hicks? To be safe, I got a lift to work with my husband this morning since I figured it might not be safe to drive if I have another one of those contractions while driving (since I also had shooting pains all the way down my legs, which were also contracting).

Today I want to try filing away as much as I can in my office and packing up whatever needs to go home just in case...

hallo

last working monday...wooohoooo

FF @ I'm so sorry that you are having a tough time - being pregnant and getting divorced.

Champers @ one more sleep!!! WOW!!!

GML @ baby pressies are the best!! Are you enjoying your maternity leave?

Suhaila @ how far along are you? When was your original due date?

Simone @ How was your baby shower?

AFM 5 more working days... I am swollen and puffy this morning and really not in the mood for work but I keep on reminding myself that next week this time I'm almost going to be on my way to the hospital... Mik has been giving me a hard time...don't know if its the end of the year tiredness or if she is a bit jealous... I'm a bit nervous about how our family is going to change once baby W is born but i'm sure it will sort itself out eventually... let me start working! Hope you have a fabulous day!! xxx

hey all,

I was about to go to bed and then remember'd that I haven't wrote for a while...

So let me put it this way, My soon (feb) x husband to be and myself have not shared an house since well I don't want to lie but we separated like 3weeks after the honeymoon because of his drinking problem and his weird behaviour....I made a huge mistake marry'ing him.

I haven't had a drink in more than 11years, so for my kids it was a very scary thing to see and be around...not my hormones lol wish it was coz I really don't want to face this divorce...although he does say he loves me and he's at my front door 24/7 (wich irretates the crap outa me) and he confuses the kids wich makes my hormones race....but I can't divorce him untill after baby otherwise I loose the medical aid...so my attorney said to hang in there till end of jan, he will try to get me my divorce asap after baby...

Mmm, like I said once you a mommy, the men don't really count that much, you would do anything for your kids safety and well being...and thats why I am not looking back, this man is great (in his own weird way)...but he isn't good enough for my expectations....

Champers @ 2mrw morning will be the last day for you to be a wife...lol from teusday you'll be a mommy first then a wife...I'm really wishing you both the strength and the ability to cope...sometimes it's hard on the daddy coz he doesn't get at much attention as mommy and baby....so pull him closer and remember to make him a big deal too....

Oh wow, gotta see my doc again 2mrw morning at 10h00 so hoping he doesn't pick up all the sugar I had today...I really pig'ed out at my bro's birthday....choc cake, milk tart, coke, mint fridge tart and lemon m'rang....oh hell it was such a feast...but he never tought of anything salty so i didn't wanna starve....mmm by the way my bro just turned 36 and he lives up in jhb, single...lol he came all the way home for his bd...sweet hey...

My wknd was very nice, done alot of shopping on saterday( I thought I was gonna give birth in town shoot I just could walk so far and my pelvic felt like it was gonna lock and never let go...it was painfull and very stupid of me lost a bit of fluids but not stressing will see what doc has to say to me as I have not done anything his way this weekend. I was active and eating up a storm, )earbuds, creams, cripwater etc. got a dummy as i said it helps them suck if the are still not sure how to...and well my bro got me this amazing camping cot...that was very sweet and I still haven't packed a thing...

I will check in 2m to restrw really tired if only my brain wants to let me go....i'm thinking of 20thousand things while trying to get some rest...

Ruby is on her 3rd last exam 2mrw and she has not opened a book for 2mrw stressing a bit for her, but she recons she knows her work...

Anyway off to bed again with me



FF

Hi ladies,

How are you all doing?

Counting down the days now. Wow you guys all sound like you are ready to pop!

At my scan, Ty is still very high. Not sure if its because he is breech.

Put up the Christmas tree today since we won't have time to do it when he arrives.

My husband does all the cooking in our household. He is brilliant. So I never cook anyways. I'm really not that interested in food, not enough to cook.

Anyways, have a great weekend...

4 sleeps left... x

@GML I'm here Chickie:) just been a hectic day. My hubbys in the same boat as yours, I'll also be at my mums so he will eat by her or by my Mil whose 5 minutes away. Awesome re your mini shower today, getting baby stuff is the best:)

Had my gynea appointment today, baby's head is now below the pelvic brim and his around 2.7kgs. Doc said labour could be anywhere from now until the 30th, that didn't help:(

@Miksmummy and Googlebug glad you guys are making progress with the painful UIF process.

@Champers holding thumbs, so exciting, starving doesn't sound good at all though. Please post pics of baby Ty:)

@Tanya welcome to maternity leave where you can sleep in, do nothing and know that your entitled to it

Enjoy your weekend ladies

Hi ladies,

Went into work today and they had a mini baby shower for me. I cried so much. Too many cute things.

Tanya- enjoy the time off.

Google-labour centre is on main reef road next to the home affairs dept.

Lucky for me hubby is a decent cook and not very fussy either. Plus i'll be at my moms house-he'll have to sort himself out.

Counting days for you champers.
Where is Suhaila?

Hi ladies,

Well today is officially my last day, yeah!!!!! : .......Plam on spending the next week doing absolutely nothing!!! Tomorrow is my shower so I plan on seeing what I get and then Monday have my helper wash what need s to be washed and then we all done. I plan on getting my pj's tomorrow which is the only thingl outstanding in my hospital bag....

On the cooking, sorry ladies but I have to boast, my hubby is an absolute pro in the kitchen and never disappoints me so I am so confident that we will be taken well care of for the next few weeks. ....

Champers you can have a nice big breakfast in the morning, at least you will not feel that starved.. I had to eat my last meal at 10 the night before as I needed to be at the hospital by 7 the morning, needless to say I only went into theatre just before 11... ...Will see how it goes this time round...

I am still relatively busy today, horrible way to go off, the one lady took the day off and the other is leaving early so that leaves me so my manager asked nicely if I would not mind working a full day... ......

Let me get back to work... Bye for now, will definitely try and sort out my access from home so that we can still chat.....

Hang in there ladies, not much longer!
