11-10-2008 - for my girls........I love you guys xxx even more happy happy happyMy mood while writing this blog:
even more happy happy happy



Hi again....

I've only done one blog so far but I felt like doing another one......wooohooo!!!

I joined this site when I was about 10 weeks pregnant, I had been stalking the pages for a few weeks- reading all the posts. It was so nice to see all these ladies- who were at the same stage in their pregnancy as me, getting so much advice and support. So the hubby set me up with my own page and I introduced myself.....I think hubby was secretly delighted that I would be able to chat to someone else about being preggers and not bore the tits off him.....lol! Shirley and Jobean welcomed me in.....

Within a few weeks I had become friends with THE coolest group of ladies, and the fun had begun...

Every single day I couldn't wait to log on first thing in the morning and would end up sitting bugeyed at the laptop until the 'wee-hours-o'clock'...what a hoot we had!
Some of the other weeks would sometimes get snippy with each other but not us....we were ALWAYS there for each other.....offering advice and asking for it......checking that we were normal with all those symptoms of pregnancy....hurling chunks til our eyes were out on stalks, finding cottage cheese in our knickers, extra boogers up our noses, monster trouser quacks, cheesy nipples, snail trails, stretched out fanny lips, over grown lady gardens that we were unable to reach for pruning and bizarre eating habits....
Then there was all the discussion about maternity clothes ( that we couldn't wait to show off our bumps in and now we are disgusted to show off our bumps in *except you August you slinky minx* lmao haahaa)
We went dutifuly for our scans and one by one we found out what we were having and came running back so so excited with our news.......*except Trac and Mary who held out like the stars they are!!!*
Once we knew who we were shopping for we were able to start chosing all the fabby stuff for them, showers were planned for those of us who live over the pond, nurserys were planned and organised.....and we dreamed of the day we would place our precious cargo in their cribs.....I know I peeked into my nursery every day to day dream about my baby Reuben....it still seemed so unreal....

Sometimes we would have serious conversations like the sensible grown-ups we are......but not very often...lol!
Onward we marched through the summer months, laughing and crying like only the hormonally challenged can...and for me a personal trauma.....my bloody laptop broke!!!!!!...5 days that seemed like a lifetime...I felt like my world had been turned up-side dpwn....I couldn't chat with my girls, my friends, my sisters!...
And to top it off....I got it back working then went on holiday for nearly 3 weeks.....how stressful was that!!!...I couldn't wait to get home and get back to the shenanigans....

Babies were now moving around, kicking , punching, trampolining on our bladders and swinging from our rib cages......leaving us breathless and bursting for the flipping loo....
Movement became difficult, we were hot and temperamental.....husbands who were smart knew when to button their lips and just do what they were bloody well told....

Different timezones meant that at nearly any time of day or night we could hop on and find someone who was awake *usually firsttime preggers who is AMAZING and doesn't to sleep*....
The fact that we were spread around the world didn't mean anything from the wilds of Canada, to the Big apple....and all the way to Ramsay street where one special lil ozzy lady lives with her ugly dogs,...I've felt such real closeness to you ladies who I've never even met.....you were honest and real and told me to shut the f**k up when I went too far...lmao....

We were getting near the end and needed each other more than ever.....to rant to about dumbass comments that strangers make about our bumps, to cry to about our swollen cankles and to laugh with about those monster bunches of grapes that were growing out of 'some peoples' arses......(man that was SOOOOOO not funny!!!!!!!!!!!!!) ( AND THEY ARE NEARLY GONE...JUST A COUPLE OF WEE RAISINS NOW).............ROTF...

I would love to think that we have all grown as individuals through our shared experiences, that we have learned about other cultures without using prejiduce or stereotypes....*BTW I am not a green skinned kilt wearing ogre who lives in a cave and eats haggis all day.....nor am I an onery old wifey called 'doubtfire' who scares little children and shouts abuse from a rocking chair on the porch*......

We did indulge in some conversation of the blue variety....August would continually lower the tone with her topics of ' rug munching, muff diving, tadpole soup, puuspuss's, .....we renamed her Ellisuxalot and together with Danibigknockers my darling husband was thoroughly enchanted....I regularly found him stalking us from his macbook on the other side of the room.....in fact he would enquire daily...' how are my Dani and Elli doing today?'......lol....

Y'know sometimes whole pages were posted without one comment about pregnancy....I think that says so much about how well we all got to know each other....and we never fell out or argued....we just laughed, cried and sent each other cyber hugs when one was needed......

AND THEN THE BABIES STARTED ARRIVING........

One by one they came.....teasing us for days before with their 'hoax signs of labour' ...lol....
we waited anxiously like proud parents as our girls went in....we paced our rooms ...we posted hourly asking for news...sending love...and praying things were going well....

........and being overjoyed by the news that the baby had arrived safely...mummies exhausted, sore, and elated...

It took some of us longer than others...and at some points the waiting was unbearable.....but we all got there in the end....and now they are all here, in our arms and we are so in love, and it was so worth it, and this has been the best 10 months I spent, and this was the best pregnancy I had because I was with you guys and you made it special........

you know I love you all.......

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

I too am late at reading this...haven't logged on it what seems like forever. I surely miss chatting with you Heti, and of course all of our other lovely ladies! Thank you for this blog...a nice way to remember. The good the bad and the ugly.

elibabi - Wednesday, 22 Oct
awww I'm super late! i love this blog! you're the sweetest stinker ever,i couldn't explain it better....I felt exactly what you did, love ya lots!

YES TO OPRAH WE MUST ALL MEET!!!! lol


hollyg - Monday, 13 Oct
Aww, Heti, you voiced a lot of what I was thinking! Somedays, all you ladies was all that got me through the day, especially when the hubby was gone. I can't say how much that meant to me! At least the cheesy nips are gone! LOL!

krystle - Monday, 13 Oct
haha LOVE IT!!! Absolutely perfect :)

shirley and maya - Monday, 13 Oct
haha I;'m reading the comments about Oprah! You definitely said it well and we all need somewhere to meet up and catch up. After I had Maya, all the girls chose a month (month 30) and we all met there everyday so we never followed along in the months - we just went straight there. Maybe we should do that with the girls now?

I really enjoyed the story but, at the same time made me miss it all. Wow would amazing experience to go through with such amazing women across the world. I would tell my hubby about some of the conversations we all had and now I want him to hurry home so I can read this to him.


Mama2Miaplus1 - Sunday, 12 Oct
Heti you make me laugh and you make me cry and I really wish I had joined up to chat with everyone at 6 weeks when I started looking daily on this web site but I waited till I was 20 weeks and I had my scan (scared to before silly now I know). You have just summed everything up that us ladies have gone through and shared so beautifully. You should release a book called 'we are' pregnant.com containing our wonderful experiences together then when you are rich from your no. 1 novel you could fly us all to Scotland to meet up and try some Haggis lol....xxxxxxxxxxx (actually knowing the British weather could we not meet up somewhere warm!) xxx

ABCsMommy - Sunday, 12 Oct
Heti, you are a magical woman. I think I said it before that there aren't enough people in the world with hearts like yours. Mostly I lurked, getting to read when most were offline but let me tell you I LMAO even while alone or even when I was crying. This was the hardest pregnancy for me going through many months with an unsure outcome and I swear it made it so much easier coming on everyday to read the latest shite coming out of your mouth! LOL! Bedrest and hospital stays were very much bearable thanks to you ladies!! We are all so lucky to have our beautiful babies in our arms and www.i-am-pregnant.com in our kitchens. XX

becks13 - Sunday, 12 Oct
I just love your story...I know I never said much in our week, but I read all the comments all the time and I loved reading all the conversations. All you girls were great and always had fantastic advice. I know I would have drove my hubby crazy if I didn't have this website to look at every second of the day!

-newnaam - Sunday, 12 Oct
oh heti... i couldnt have said it any better...and elli is right we should send our story to oprah..LOL maybe she would fly us all out to her show and so we all could finally get together...lmao

tracmac - Sunday, 12 Oct
Oh Heti! I am crying! Its so beautiful, its so US!

Augustbabe - Sunday, 12 Oct
I read this to Chad and one minute I was laughing and the next I was crying...we should send our story to Oprah...I think your talent with writing would definitely land us on her show lol! Then we could all meet for real and have a big huge group hug!

maryw - Saturday, 11 Oct
what a beautiful testament to all of those months- you captured it wonderfully- and brought tears to my eyes. I still think of my friends here every day. I miss trying to make dinner and keep up with the speedy conversations, laughing out loud by myself. If I thought THAT was a challenge, I had no idea what was in store! :) I hope once we all become accustomed to our new lives we can meet and chat on occasion. Having never met any of my friends here in "real life" doesn't diminish the closeness I feel to all of you.

how do you make me smile and cry at the same time?
