mommies to be DECEMBER 2010

What a BEAUTIFUL DAY!!!

Yes GML baby is lower than normal. SO big though. It feels like he is too big for my stomach.

Class was good. Showed us the correct way to bath a babe. How to swaddle and ran through different methods of burping. Also that baby must never lie on tummy. Always on his side or his back but if on his back, you must raise the mattress slightly so he can't choke. Said that whatever products you use is fine so long as they aren't scented. Baby powder is a no no. Showed us how to clean the umbilical cord... All practical things which was handy. NEVER wake a baby to change its nappy. Also careful when opening a nappy because they tend to wee when the nappy is opened.

Morning ladies

Third trimester

We have made it this far, can you believe it.

How is everyone doing? I'm doing well, just a bit tired.

Champers- any feedback from the Thursday class?

Cannot wait to book my bed tomorrow and to start with the ante natal classes.

Is anyone feeling the baby really low? I'm feeling him so low it's not funny. Even my mom commented on how low baby is.

hallo ladies

GML @ sheesh i would have been so angry!! I would have given her a few slaps... I really think you need to find a new job as soon as your baby boy is born!

I'm so glad its Friday! Can't wait for this day to be over!! Hope you all have a lovely weekend!

Morning Ladies

Hope you're all feeling good and babies are growing in leaps and bounds

My day started off badly

I get to work and the cleaning lady had just put water into the kettle and I sat on the sofa waiting for the water to boil. My boss sees me sitting there and she immediately screams (for everyone to hear) that I'm so lazy and I'm forever sleeping/look asleep in the office and she was never like that when she was pregnant. I said, it's a good thing then that she is not the pregnant one and I stood up to make my tea and left her standing there.

I could have bitch slapped her right there and then if she wasnt my boss. Surely as a boss she should have asked me if everything was ok with me or that baby before assuming that I'm lazy and that all these pains I'm feeling are in my head.

WTF? I don't wake up and decide that today I'm gonna feel pain on my left side- I just wake up and the pain is there. Seriously. This woman.

Yes, I dont look so good today because I had a really bad night with nightmares and toilet trips and a pillow that feels like rocks. Nevermind that my gums are sore and I have a splitting headache.

I cant wait to leave this place.

HiLadies!!!

Sjo, you've been busy on the site since Monday! So much happened - not even going to try to reply on each one's posts! I have a serious case of the puddingbrain recently!

Sounds like you're all well - I'm glad!

News from my side? Well, feeling so much better today, it's alot cooler (looks like rain - ) and I had a proper night's sleep last night. Been struggling with all the same things than most of you - turning around is such a mission all of a sudden, and the moment I turn on my side, this little soccer player inside me turns into a tap-danceer!! And with keeping all the pillows together, turning around without waking hubby and without pulling the whole blanket with me - Oi!!!! But for some reason last night was almost like pre-pregnancy! I must also add that we had lights out at 20:40. Ahhhhh!!!!! Feel like a new person today! (But I look so forward to be able to sleep on my tummy again....)

I'm glad I'm not the only one starting to feel some panic lately - and I'm the last in the row of all of us!!! But suddenly, there seems to be so much that needs to be done, and so little time. "Nesting" has also become a big reality now - I want to fix up EVERYTHING in the house... My poor budget - luckily we'll be getting a raise with some backpay soon!!! government perks.... My husband just grins and moves the furniture around... and back again!

This craving-business is so funny - reading about everyones cravings!! My poor husband dreads the day that I wake him at 02:00 and chase him in to town to buy some weird combination like peanut butter and sardines!!!!! I love to watch his face when I innocently remark that I feel like some chocolate!! Luckily for him, it's been quite easy until now - can't get enough of tomatoes this week, for some reason! But I must say, it's a good excuse to eat whatever you feel like!

Hope you all have a great evening - one sleep until Friday!!! Can't wait till the weekend - so much easier on the body. And it's the only time that I have to work on the nursery!

Bye!!!

No idea GML!

Tonights class is Baby Care. Being shown how to bath baby, nappies and all necessary things. Looking forward to it. Should be a fun one!

Champers- why did I think you live in GP?
What's the topic of discussion at todays class?

I'm booking my bed next week Tuesday.
