Stress Levels

After living on a high for all of my pregnancy, my world crumbled on Monday. My Dad had a heart attack this weekend and was in ICU......he is okay now...he is going in for a Bypass this Friday. I crumbled yesterday because my Dad is a very stubborn man and refused to listen to Doctors orders. He started telling me where his will was, the combination to his briefcase and wanted to go home and take his chances.....grrrrr....through all my tears I told my Dad that I could not handle him talking like this and said I would get my B to talk to him. My B came to the rescue and called my Dad.....Thank you Universe for my B.

My Dads girlfriend also got the results from her Gynae on Monday...her Cervical Cancer is back and there is no more that the Gynae can do....she is only 28 years old...does not have any children of her own. (Yupp, my Dad is 72 ...so there is a big age gap).

Then my sister C's BIL had a heart attack this week too and is also in ICU, also going for a Quadru Bypass on Friday...he is only 50 years old

I could feel the stress levels were high in my body yesterday...my poor little Jada did not know what hit her and was very restless last night....she kicked for at least two hours solid. My poor baby.

I have made a point of being very calm today.... I am now responsible for this little precious angel....I am her Mom

I am sending love out to my friends Ginger and Alchemist......

Oh Wow...my Baby Shower

Yupp...it happened..I got the biggest surprise on Saturday. It was my baby shower and I did not have a clue that it was happening...My beautiful B managed to be the total con artist of the decade. He basically relied on the fact that I love my sister and wanted to show her the new clothes that I had just bought...IT WORKED. I wanted to show my sister. We popped around at her place...and there everyone was...waiting for my baby shower..

Wow...Wow..Wow...I had an absolute ball. I loved every minute of it. My sister C had done everything to perfection. The food was delicious. My B and I were both dressed up and we looked Cute.... Wow..wow..it was awesome. I was spoilt rotten. My B got to drink out of a nipple bottle (filled with Nesquick)..whilst I got to drink out of a potty filled with juice and a chocolate lunch bar...eeeeeuuuwwwwww

Yesterday, I spent the day unpacking all the lovely goodies into the cupboard for Jada and it really hit me hard that I am going to have a baby. It was very emotional packing all these goodies away. Jada already has 5 pairs of shoes...(we are trying to catch up to Aunty LM and Bella..hee hee.)

I have not stopped smiling since Saturday.......wow

I have started the count down until Jada is born...today we have 85 more days

Below are two pics of me and my B dressed up for the baby shower...and the next one is of me this morning in Jadas room..I am dressed in my first maternity dress I have bought.

Love to all

25 Week Update

I know I have been very slack with the written updates. It is just amazing how your mind frame changes and how "updating blogs" and "surfing forums" are no longer a priority. Instead it is replaced with watching your growing belly, trying to come to terms with the emotions going on inside and trying to get on top of everything so that life is easier when Jada comes

We had our "25 week" scan last week. Jada weighed in at a whopping 838g....quite abit above what she should be...that is my girl..she is like her Mommy..she loves her food..smile. Her due date has been moved forward to the 22 November 2010. Sorry I cannot post any scan pictures yet but they really are not as clear as the early day scans. We have our 3D scan in September so hopefully will get some amazing shots then.

We also went to our Spiritual healer to place blessings on our Jada. We asked our ancestors to guide and protect our little Jada through her journeys. We also bought some crystals (rose quartz and amethyst) which we have cleansed, blessed and put in the sun. These will be put into little Jadas room. I know that with her extremely religious Aunties and Uncle..and her spiritual bunny parents she will have all the protection she needs...smile. We also asked for guidance on choosing a date for Jada to enter the World. Jada chose the 16th November.....so hopefully all goes according to plan and Jada enters the World on the 16th November

My B and I have decided to take the long weekend in September and get away for a few days. It is amazing how you need it. I really miss my B. He has been working like a little Demon around the house trying to get all the "jobs" done before Jada is here. So although I see him every day, I really miss him. I just need to do "nothing with him"...so we are going to get away for a "Babymooner" before Jada comes. Life will change once she is here

Anyway, here are my updated photos for Week 25. Jada has grown quite a bit and is kicking her Mommy like a Springbok. PLease note that the Pj's I am wearing are not my only PJ's..hee hee...and I will probably have to change them soon cause my Bum is getting tooooooo big for them.

Enjoy...love Me

PS In the bottom photo is the new addition to the family...on my chest is our new kitten. His name is Ceasar...he is too damn cute

23 Week Update

Weight gain so far is 10 kgs...it seems to have slowed down. I have grown quite a bit since the 21 week mark and my little girl is kicking me every day...

I have started to relax and just enjoy....although I have days of becoming very emotional about the fact that I am pregnant...almost a disbelief that I am here.

I am taking bets on how much weight I will gain in total for my pregnancy. If one more person tells me how "big" I am...I am gonna scream. I am pregnant, for goodness sake.....smile....
