mommies to be DECEMBER 2010

Oh Miksmommy, if I could tell you HOW MANY scones with strawberry and cream I have eaten already.... Nom nom nom.

GML, I totally agree with you. Everytime I turn at night I wake up. I also have problems getting up in the morning. I feel so heavy already. My BIG problem is putting socks and shoes on when I already have my jeans on. Its as if I can't reach my feet.

I LOVE THIS WEATHER! And I am stoked because I have found a remedy to my dog walking woes. I've put a Halti on my lab and it works a dream. I can walk him now without having my arm dislocated!! Yay me! If any of you have a problem with a dog that pulls, seriously, you must get one of these. They fit on the dogs head like a halter on a horse. That way you have full control of his head and he has nothing to lean against. Sigh.... its amazing.

I'm craving ice cream. But since I don't have any I think that I will have Nutella on a slice of bread.

Afternoon ladies,

What a beautiful day, just love Spring!!!!

GML glad you feeling better today.

On the scones, guys I am hooked on sweet things, last night I made a chocolate swiss roll with fresh cream and caramel filling, absolutely devine!!!!

On the baby shower, I had a word with my close friends and told them to please not go and arrange an over the top shower, I would like something informal and that's it, they understand and have agreed it will not be kept a secret but I will just not know where until the day...

Miksmommy I am doing well thanks, it's just been hectic on this side, starting to look forward to my maternity leave.

My baby has been extremely active since last night, feels like she is a little acrobat but loving it!

Sorry if I forgot to mention anything important..

Exactly 3 weeks till the 4d, can't wait!

Have agreat day further ladies....

Hi ladies

Hope you're all doing well and babies are kicking up a storm.

Miks- scones with jam sounds so delish. I want them now.

Ladies

I found out that my friends are planning a surprise baby shower for me. I know I'm not supposed to know but I do. The same happened with my bridal shower. I knew about it but was totally surprised when they shouted "surprise". Luckily I didnt know the dates hence the surprise.

I also dont know the dates for the shower but judging from my bridal shower, it's going to be big.

I had a rough night last night. I kept waking up for some reason. I guess changing sides requires one to be fully awake.
Is it just me or are you ladies feeling the effects of gravity now?
When I change sides I fell as if baby is walloping from one side to another. It also happens when I stand. I feel him dropping a bit when I stand

Hi everyone!

Miksmommy, I agree with you fully! This week is going sloooowly. The scones sound yummy.

GML, I am really sorry to hear of your loss, hope you and your family get through this difficult time. Thats an aweful story (and I've head similar stories about people I know recently, its just nobody wants to go public with these things which is a pity).

GML, sounds like you're craving caffeine more than anything sinc e chocolate and tea are both packed with it. I confess, my resistance to chocolate has been equally weak lately. Whats worse is that because it is ramadaan (our fasting month), I have been preparing lots of yummy savouries and desserts for hubby to eat when he breaks his fast in the evenings. I haven't been fasting becuase of my pregnancy, but I've been pigging out on all that good stuff in the evenings... can't be good!!!

Oh, by the way, I had a typo the other day when I said lo weighed 970g, it was actually 790g. Wow, I was freaked out when I saw GML's big baby estimate, I can't imagine squeezing out a 3.8kg baby!!!

As for maternity leave, I am considering either 30 November or 3 December as my last day. But I haven't decided for sure yet. Maybe I can arrange to work from home via 3g for the last few days if it gets hectic (I will discuss it with the powers that be closer to the time)...

GML @ i'm so sorry about your mom's cousin! (((big hug))

Champers @ yum yum chocolate.... i have this weird craving for scones with strawberry jam... My work is close to a bakery and all I can think of is those yummy scones!

Tanya @ hallo!! How have you been?? crazy busy at work?

Only 2 more sleeps till Friday! WOOOOHOOOO i know its so bad but all I can think about is WHEN IS IT WEEKEND AGAIN??! I'm sick and tired of clients and all their dramas and tantrums!

Ok that is good that it won't just be left...

I eat SO much chocolate its crazy. The only hot drink which I have is either hot chocolate or decaff coffee.

Glad that you are feeling a little better GML xxx

Hi Ladies

I'm feeling a bit better now Thanks.

I must tell you Champers that he has a big family, he has kids older than me (maybe he has more than 10 kids in total) and plenty of siblings as well. His kids adn siblings are all well educated (he put most of them through school) so I'm hoping they will do what they need to on their side.

I must say ladies, I have been craving chocolate. Plus I cannot stop drinking tea. It's like my stress release. I drink 2-3cups a day. in the morning, at lunch and at supper. I also drink water in between. It doesnt make me feel less guilty though.
