~ ROUND 2 ~

Week 5 I think ~ Well its time for another one! Already you say? YES. 6 months after our beautiful daughter Savannah was painfully squeezed into this world, I must do it again. Im only about 5 or 6 weeks at the moment, waiting for blood test results on tuesday to have a look at the levels so they can gage a bit better how far I am cause Aunt Flow thought she'd visit twice last month, how lovely. Anyway just thought i'd get back into the site that helped me stay sane through the last pregnancy they was 10 weeks shy of a year (thankyou 42 weeks pregnancy, you nearly killed me lol). Gonna ba a busy year next year as we're getting married, buying our house and having a baby and I have to go back to work in January. Hope to make some new mummy friends on here and touch base with older ones that have actually stayed on here like I should of lol. Congratulations to you all and best of luck :)

xoxo

Hello my names Naomi im from Melbourne and well I have already written alot of stuff on my page but it seems to have dissapeared. Oh well... I am 17 weeks pregnant and feeling wonderful : ) I live with my partner Josh in Melbourne and am hopefuly starting work on Monday (just waiting to hear back from the job.) This is our first child and we couldnt be happier. On the weekend we went & bought a beautiful cot & matching change table we bought THE CUTEST bedding set, a matching change table, the safest car seat we could get hehe and a 3 wheel pram that is just gorgeous. Baby = $$$$$ yes haha.. We have our 18 week ultra sound on the 23rd of October. I have had the wonderful pleasure of feeling our baby move over the last few days <3 We're having a 3D scan and cant wait to find out what we're having. My mummy scences are telling me its a boy, but we'll find out in a week I guess. CONGRATULATIONS TO EVERYONE & GOOD LUCK : )

THIS IS OUR BEAUTIFUL LITTLE BABY @ 12 WEEKS (cant wait to see how much he/shes grown in our 3Dscan next week hehe)

JOSH AND I IN LOS ANGELIES THE DAY AFTER WE GOT BACK I FOUND OUT THERE WAS A BABY IN ME hahaha <3

Week 18 ~ Well just got back from my 2nd ultra sound! We're 80% sure it's a GIRL! Our cheecky little baby didnt want to turn around and face us for quite sometime but did for a second and the lady doing the ultra sound said "i'm pretty sure its a girl" I said how sure are you haha "about 80% sure" We have to go back in 2 1/2 weeks cause she said there were still a few organs that were a tad to small to get a good veiw of and I thought if I drank lots of water she could get a better picture. Ladies this is WRONG ok haha, trust me. It just hurts more when they push down and doesnt do shit she said lol. Oh well guess I get to see our baby twice in just a few weeks. Is 80% enough till then?? Hmmm. Glad everythings ok though : ) Feeling great still but want to start working again soon im getting so borde and times going so slow! Hope everyones doing well : ) xo Ohh also im getting a dopler tomorrow hehehe.

Week 20 ~ We had our 20 week scan today and OMG we have THE cutest little girl in the whole world hehe. And yes I am completely bias lol. We finaly had a very lovey Dr. He was very patient with her as she wouldnt move her head so he could get a good picture of her face. But she moved her hand a few times away from her face and SNAP =) He said everything was perfect, our times are perfect, her organs are perfect and everything is in the right place. Well half way now... 20 weeks to go. The long countdown begins till we can hold our baby girl <3 Now we can go shopping hehe my mum was VERY happy about that.

As for me, im absoluteil wonderful aswell. I'm still pretty tierd but no where near as tierd as I was for the first few weeks. I'm working full time now and I guess its making time go a bit quicker which is great. My tummy is getting bigger and im still finding it VERY hard to sleep. My brain wont turn itself off grrr. Had a bit of back pain all last week but apart from that i am FIIIINE =)

Here's some pics of our BEAUTIFUL BABY GIRL ♥

A baby asked God, "They tell me you are sending me to earth tomorrow, but how am I going to live there being so small and helpless?"
God said, "Your angel will be waiting for you and will take care of you."
The child further inquired, "But tell me, here in heaven I don't have to do anything but sing and smile to be happy."
God said, "Your angel will sing for you and will also smile for you. And you will feel your angel's love and be very happy."
Again the child asked, "And how am I going to be able to understand when people talk to me if I don't know the language?"
God said, "Your angel will tell you the most beautiful and sweet words you will ever hear, and with much patience and care, your angel will tea ch you how to speak."
"And what am I going to do when I want to talk to you?"
God said, "Your angel will place your hands together and will teach you how to pray."
"Who will protect me?"
God said, "Your angel will defend you even if it means risking its life."
"But I will always be sad because I will not see you anymore."
God said, "Your angel will always talk to you about Me and will teach you the way to come back to Me, even though I will always be next to you."
At that moment there was much peace in Heaven, but voices from Earth could be heard and the child hurriedly asked, "God, if I am to leave now, please tell me my angel's name."
God said, "You will simply call her, "Mommy. "

Week 28 ~ Its been a while since I updated my page and well... nothing much has happend lol. My baby girl is just growing away in there, kicking me heeeaps and moving around so much. I love sitting there watching my tummy bob up and down haha. I have been getting the WORST heartburn, I was hanging the washing out this morning and was sick in my mouth GROOOSE lol. My back in starting to get a bit sore sometimes and im feeling heavier but apart from that nothing really to complain about. Oh actually braxton Hicks haha I would definatley like to complain about them. I have been getting them since week 17 but they have gotten abit more full on as time as progressed, they are just terribly uncomfortable and awkard and sometimes painful. I had my 21st birthday last Monday night, it was fantastic, my mum made me a beautiful dinner and I had some friends come over and my family. It was really nice. It didnt really bother me not drinking : ) I have my Glucose test on Wednesday which im sure will be fine. I am SO excited about starting classes hehehe, we start them on the 8th of January. So i'll be 29 weeks. Gosh times starting to go alittle quicker then what it was haha yaaay. Im not working at the moment which is extremely frusterating but hopefuly in January I can get some temp work for a few weeks until Febuary or something. Well thats about it :) Hope everyones doing well and had a great Christmas xxx

Week 39 ~ So.... SHES STILL IN THERE lol. And dont I know it, if I thought my pregnancy couldnt get any slower, I WAS WRONG! But alas we only have 6 days left :) Alot has happened since in the last 10 weeks, we've moved into our new house in Pakenham, which is right near my family for when the baby comes. We were about an hour and a half away from any of the family where we were and it was becoming quite a scary thought thinking about having a baby with NO help or support, so we moved down here. Josh is working for my parents business as a concretor and hes not minding that to much. Time is really REALLY dragging at home doing nothing but cleaning and being on the internet just waiting and waiting and waiting for something to happen lol but it just dosent. Im trying to be patient but its hard when your so excited and just want to meet your precious baby. Im sure you all understand ;) I have also moved hospitals to Casey. Its nice, its new, they are very all very "natural" everything lol, so they wont induce you unless your 42 weeks (i'll DIE if I get to 42 weeks lol) and they also dont give you an Epi unless your having a csection. I'm planning on having a wather birth but I guess its just nice to know that there is something there if you really need it... As for my body, I think its thrown all it possibly can at me... apart from labour and birth haha. I have been getting the WORST shooting pains in my groin and down my ass and the back of my legs, they dont sound like much but trust me THEY ARE lol. They make me scream and people look at me really and my boyfriend and mum just laugh at me lol. All in all, im definatly ready to meet our baby girl, at my weekly Dr's appointment yesterday she said i was 1.5 nearly 2 cms dilated and 90% affaced so I guess that means we're on our way... she said theres no way in hell i'll go over my due date, the babies head is so far engaged she said shes suprised she hasnt come out yet so yaaay haha. Well i'll be sure to keep everyone posted as soon as she decides to pop out :)

~ HAPPY EASTER LADIES ~

39 Weeks & 5 Days ~ Castor oil... dont go there ;) Ok so the first lot I had made me want to DIE lol. It was sooooo bad. It just made me wanna puke for the whole day. But then I got on the net and read some 'motivating stories' lol and after that I decided to have some more, about another 30mls so I had about 55mls or so all thogether and the last lot I had with a bottle of coke. It was seriously the grosest thing I have ever had to swallow. It made me go to the toilet 2 times and that was it I didnt feel sick the second time I had it AND THEEEN, I went to sleep and at 2:00 I woke up having actual contractions for about the next 4 hours that started 15 minutes apart and then went to 12 then 10 minutes apart and they were moving around to my lower back so im like yes yes yes this is it haha so I woke my boyfriend up so we could go for a walk just to make sure and to make them more apparent or what ever so we went for a walk and they were stil there so I thought i'd try and go back to sleep and just wake up when the pain gets worse lol. So come waking up time AND THEY WERE GONE :( lol. Speeewin as. So yeah.... still pregnant lol. If I hear 'she'll be here when shes ready' once more, im going to scream lol. 2 days to go I guess, unless shes late... which im not even going to think about right now lol. Good luck everyone xXx

STILL pregnant... yes this is forever & NO im never going to see my baby!

Well thats how it feels anyway haha, and god if I get one more person ringing and asking if shes here yet im going to hang up on them.

And dont even say the word "induce" because my hospital wont induce you until your 42 weeks. 42 weeks ladies. 42 weeks, thats 10 weeks away from being pregnant for a whole YEAR lol. But other then that... im fine lol, baby's fine <<< shes always fine thank god. Still extremely borde at home, i'v started playing Counter Strike during the day times... for those of you who know what it is please dont laugh lol. Its only to pass the time. Hopefuly my next entry in here is my brirth story :) Good luck to everyone still pregnant cause its SUUUUUUUX the fat one xXx

41 Weeks and 3 days...

The end is nigh??

Atleast thats what im telling myself so I can sleep at night lol. Had a stretch and sweep done on Tuesday... god did that absolutely KILL. Look I have 7 tattos and I AINT NO SOOK lol, but ooo baby it hurt. I had a lot of bleeding after it and lost my plug the next morning, which I thought I lost ages ago but now that I have lost it I think I definatly would of know about it if I lost it before haha. Grooose. So last night @ about 9:30 I started having regular painful contractions 10 minutes apart but because I had had them before I just went to bed and tried not to get to excited. Well I didnt get to excited but it was actually my boyfriend that was up running around like a drunken monkey on happy gas.. puttin our bags at the door, getting the stop watch out... askin me if I need my back rubbed, gettin all the creams out etc etc. It was soooo cute. He did really well, but I was so convinced they would stop, well come 3:00am I had taken some panadine forte to help with the pain and to rest in between but then I went to the toilet and there was some like fresh blood and my contractions were 6 and 7 minutes apart so I called the hospital just to ask about the blood and to tell them I was in labour... the midwife agreed and put the blood down to a bit of the last bit of my plug so she told me to try and lay down and if I cant handle it anymore to come in and they'll get me set up, so we're like YES THIS IS IT<< IT. To cut a long story short ^^^ bit late... yeah the contractions STOPPED AGAIN :( at about 6:00am I could not believe it, its so hard not to get discouraged. So when I woke up we went for a walk to see if we could get them to start again and nope haha just a random one here and there through out the day then as soon as my stupid body sees its getting nite time its thinks "oh brilliant LOL @ sleep time, i'm going to make you think your having painful contractions and your baby's coming when in actual fact SHES NOT and your NOT in real labour" << How lovely :( So again just have to try and sleep tonight and keep waiting until MONDAY 7AM when im booked into be INDUCED. Hopefuly the weekend will go really quick as we have my cousins wedding and im gonna make a dress for it tomorrow lol. So HOPEFULY my next entry will be my "birth story" yaaaay. Happy end of pregnancy ladies :P xXx

SAVANNAH GRACE PILLAY - 5/4/2008 - 7.15POUNDS

BIRTH STORY - AT LAST...

Well... I must say im not to sure what I was expecting when it came to labour and child birth but I can certainly say that I wasnt expecting what I got haha. I dont know if its cause I cant be botherd writing every detail of the things that were going on or if it was all just a bit to much for me to revisit so soon lol oh and also I dont want to scare the to be mummys that are going to go through it shortly, so im going to keep in as brief as I can lol. I went into labour on Thursday morning in the hospital while i was being checked over cause I thought my water had broken cause I was up all wednesday night having contractions that went away early thursday morning when I finaly got to sleep. So when I woke back up on thursday morning I was really really wet so they told me to come in and when they put me on the monitor my contractions decided to come back and regulate themselves and were coming every 4 to 6 minutes and they were pretty painful, but they told me I can go home and labour and come back when they are closer together and I cant handle the pain anymore. So as you could imagine I was very excited but still in pain and very tierd. So we went home and they stayed like that for the majority of the day... which was pretty frusterating since they should have been getting closer together and more painful. By night time they were starting to fade and I was really upset and every now and then I would get a really really painful one that would knock the wind out of me and I thought we were back in business... but NO lol.. well kinda actually. I managed to get some sleep on thursday night not very much but then on friday when I woke up they were back and strong and regular... every 10 minutes then right down to 4 and 3 minutes apart by the end of the day coming into night on friday night, I had no idea what was going on and when i would ring the midwives they were extremely confused as they could tell how much pain I was in and couldnt understand why the contractions were doing this. So on Friday night at about 11:00 I just burst into tears from the pain and being so tierd and one contraction came ontop of another and we went to the hospital FIIIINALY. When we got there the stupid midwife was going to send me home cause they kept changing and being painful then some not so painful...but she did and internal and said I was 3 and half cms dilated and she could see i was in alot of pain so she said we could stay there and shed give me so, wait for it PANADOL hahaha << wtf? And some gas, I was happy with the gas... it was all I had through the whole thing. So she said she would come back and check on me in about 3 or 4 hours to see how I was going, I was so scared she would come back and say hmmm yup go home lol, but she didnt thankgod, she came back and I was 5 1/2cms dilated. So she said to stay in the midwife on the next shift was gonna come in and decide weather they should break my waters. Well needless to say i was progressing ridiculously slow so they broke my waters. From there everything just got that much more intense and I didnt really have much time to comprehend that the end was in sight lol... the pain was ah... unbareable and there was such an intense pressure from the hips down, every contraction was definatly 100 times worse then the last one until she said I could hop into the bath. I had planned to have a water birth so I felt like "yup sweet bath time, this will all be over in a jiffie". Um... NO, no way, most ladies say that labour is the worst part but in my opinion, definatly not lol. I was so overwhelmed and in the bath with everything that was going on and I pretty much lost the plot, I gassed out a few times and I would open my eyes and didnt know where I was and what was going on, all I knew is that I just wanted this to be over and there was no way in hell I could do this. I kept looking at josh crying in distress begging him to make it stop and to make everything go away.. knowing full well he couldnt and the only way to stop this was to get her out. Well after 2 hours of pushing in the bath, no baby lol, so they asked if I wanted to get out and I thought YES, YES I DO, so they got me out which was actually really hard cause all I wanted.. well all my body wanted to do. So we got back into the birthing suite and I got on the bed and, well I just remember thinking "I cant do this, I cant do this, I just need this to be over", then I really started to feel the sting and everyone was saying they could see her head and the midwife was asking me if I wanted to feel it and I just kept saying no i just want to get her out. Well about half an hour later her head was out and the rest... i'm sure you have an idea ;) She gave me 4 lovely stitches and stuck a panadol up my bum, which I thought was rather strange but.. guess you loose all your dignity once you've just given birth lol. Ofcourse it was worth every minute of pain... but you couldnt pay me enough to go through it again lol. And thats how my beautiful daughter came into the world... so much for brief birth story. Good luck to all those mummies to be, you'll be fine haha. xXx
