My name is Christy. I live in Johannesburg, South Africa. My husband is Stuart and I have two kids: Cullen (5) and Shannon (3). And of course "the little bean" that's on the way.

Pragnancy wise, I've had a bit of a rough time, but I'm gratefull to the Lord for my 2 beautifull children. Cullen was born at 28 weeks (after going into labour on and off since 26 weeks). He spent 8 weeks in hospital, but is perfectly healthy now.

With Shannon I started contractions at 17 weeks and was put on bedrest. After 3 stays in hospital, she was born at 32 weeks. When she was 3 days old, the doctors diagnosed a congenital heart defect. Thankfully it was surgically corrected when she was 3 months old. She too is perfectly healthy today! God is good!

And now "little bean". Started bleeding yesterday (only 6 weeks now) - but baby is fine, and we'll see how it goes.

Well, baby seems to be ok. Had another bleed yesterday, but it has stopped. No cramps at least! Have to be on bedrest now, which is a bit difficult with 2 other children (they are at home with me - no pre-school). Thankfully I have plenty of support from friends and family!

Well, today little bean is 7w6d old! the bleeding has stopped completely for over a week now. I think perhaps I'm starting to really feel pregnant. The morning sickness is bad all day, my boobs have grown(yay!) and my tummy has a little bulge! Still praying that all is well and counting down the days to Dec 20th!

Well, 9 weeks today! Still feeling REALLY nauseous allllll day. No bleeding for over 2 weeks now - what a relief! I'm looking very forward to my appointment next week.

Well, 14 weeks now and feeling pretty good! Nausea is totally gone - woohoo!! Still pretty tired in the afternoons though. I continued to bleed on and off until about 12 weeks, but no more bleeding since then. The best part of it all, is that I feel my cute little bean kicking away inside of me! It `s so cute when it knocks as if to say `Hi Mommy! I `m ok in here still - just letting you know! ` What a wanderful feeling!

So, week 19! Yay, that's half-way for me - I'll be having a c/section at 38 weeks. Been feeling really good lately and just enjoying being pregnant. have some heartburn and backache, but that goes with the territory! I have my 20 week scan next wednesday - can't wait!! My little bean is already hyperactive! I REALLY hope that's not a sign of things to come! LOL!!

Well, I haven't updated in ages! I'm now 28 weeks. This is a huge milestone for me. It's the furtherest I've ever been without having any contractions or being in hospital or on any medication. VERY EXCITING!

I have discussed a VBAC with my doc and he is very happy to let me try! I've been going to antenatal exercise classes to try and strengthen up and get a bit fit for labour.

I've been generally very healthy and not had too many pregnancy niggles. My coccyx has been really sore though and some backache, but otherwise, feeling good.

So glad to hear Joel is doing well!!!!! Yay! Yeah...I have been pumping for 6 weeks and I am sooooo tired of doing so. I only get enough for 2 feedings a day now, so they had to supplement with formula. :o( Now that she will come home soon, hopefully Anelise will help me to produce more milk. She needs to suck harder. I will give it time though...after all...we only just tried the breastfeeding thing last night. You are in my prayers...can't wait to see pics!
