About Me

My photo
It is second time round mommy2be and I am still feeling as excited and nervous and I did the first time. The last 2 years have been amazing. Being pregnant for the first time and then having Josh. The experience has enriched my life and every day with my precious child is special and a blessing. And now there will be another bundle of joy and a brother or sister for Josh. My little family is growing and Errol and I could not be happier! The joy and love that consumes your life when you have a child is something I could never have imagined. LOVE is all I can say!

28th Feb 2008 - 35 weeks




Not long to go now!!! Errol and I are really really excited now. We have successfully finished our hypno birthing course and cannot wait to put what we have learnt into practise. We both think Josh's birthday is just around the corner, predictions are going for 3 weeks time, around the 18th of March.

I am due to start my maternity leave around the 12th or 14th of March and I am definitely getting ready.

We have nearly got everything we need for Josh's room but have not started putting it all together.

This week I have been bogged down with a cold that has really knocked me. I have spent 3 days in bed just sleeping. Clearly my pregnant body wants rest.

Anyway, here are the latest pics taken today, as you can see the belly is big and its starting to drop!

Keep posted its really not long now!

8th February 2008 - 32 weeks







So much has happened in this new year. Errol and I have just returned from South Africa after a month of travelling. We had 2 weeks in Cape Town, highlight being Clare and Lance's wedding and quality time spent with friends and family. Pregnant Bridesmaid and all! The next week Joberg and the Kruger National Park! Thank goodness those lions didn't mind me getting out the car for my regular toilet stops! Then a week in PE and Cape St Francis to spend time with the rest of the family. I had a wonderful baby shower in Cape Town that was hosted by Nelsch, thanks so much to all you folk who spoilt me and Josh rotten!
I had a few minor ailments that come with being pregnant in South Africa but I am happy to say all infections are cleared up now and I am fit and healthy again. The constant flying was not enjoyable and my bump was really hard after each flight. Not too much water rentention for which I am grateful for but let me tell you the flying was TIRING! I got back last week after 30 hours of travelling and was exhausted! It has taken me a full 2 weeks to feel back to normal. I think going to bed at 9 or 10 every night is also helping things.
Josh's room is coming on nicely. We have our stroller and now just need to get a cot and some other baby stuff. Plenty of time in the next 8 weeks!
Errol and I are on our Hypno Birthing course tomorrow. We are both really excited. I cannot believe Josh is going to be here soon! I have a feeling the next few weeks are going to fly!
Enjoy the pics and I will keep you posted!
