Hi

Well I am not a first time mum but everyday my patience is wearing thinner and thinner with my 21month old and my husband. I think it is that I am really tired and Bailey is getting rather naughtly - terrible twos!!! Daycare days cant come around quick enough. Other than that I am really looking forward to having a newborn in the house again. Only ten weeks to go!

Hi Shilo

I too am a first time mum, so I am getting all the excitement, anxiety, happiness and I am trying to take it all in my stride.

It's just over 11 weeks for me until the big day, so it's getting overwhelming at the moment. I love being pregnant, and can't get enough of feeling the little one kicking and wriggling, and I love the reaction of my friends when they feel a kick. :)

I am putting on weight more than I really ought to, but I have an insane appetite at the moment that seems insatiable. :( Oh well, I will get back on the lite'n'easy as soon as I can after the birth, so I'm not too worried.

Looking forward to hearing about everyone else!

Hi Ladies ...

Well , I have a bit less than 30 weeks to go and I still think that I'm dreaming being pregnant !!!

Does anyone talks to their Little One ????
I'm talking in my own language ( French ) , and I'm telling him what I'm doing throughout the day ...

How is your sleep patterns going ? mine are allover the place !! waking up every 2 hours and up at 6:00 in the morning ... I use to be a BIG SLEEPER !!!! where is that gone ????

Hope everyone is traveling ok ...
Take care .

Hi everybody,

I am expecting bub (my first) 23rd November.

I too feel like dreaming most of the time. Am I really pregnant, am I really becoming a mom, having a little one? Even though the little one is kicking 24/7. My partner has gone insane with joy; I am not allowed to do anything (definitely not complaining on that…)

Apart from that, I would not advise anybody to immigrate and fall pregnant at the same time. Hormones from both experiences are very confusing… Being aware of this mixed emotions; I really love being pregnant and have absolutely nothing to complain about. Oh, maybe one little thing. Being so busy settling in Australia/Adelaide, time flies so quickly that I am afraid being pregnant is over before I truly realise it. I will stop working in two weeks and hope to find the time to enjoy (and go shopping……..):smiliedance:

Oh, I too speak to the little one, although both in English and Dutch, I hope the little one understands both.
