Hey everyone, Iam expecting my first child with the man i love!

My name is Makama, which means Miracle. I live in South Africa: Free State, Bloemfontein. Iam 22 years old and iam very excited about finding out whether iam having a boy or a girl, cos i know My Joy wants a boy (Typical male choice). But atleast i know iether way he'll still love and appreciate the miracle granted unto us by our almighty, whose my Lord and saviour.... My scan is tomorrow at this time i'll definately know...

Hey ladies, i forgot to tell you last week, I fell. face down and bumped my tummie. Its not sore actually i havent felt any pain, its just leg. To add to that i wasnt able to meet my sonar app. I feel like iam a bad mother even before, if things like this happen before birth what about once my baby is born.... does it mean iam gonna have a dont care attitude... Not that i didndt care that i fell but the realisation of it just hit me that what if my baby suffered not do obvious injuries and iam here typing away the day not seeing a Dr. Know what i mean??????????

Week 24

Iam a bit sad today, things havent really being going my way. On my first day of the 24th week, being last week friday, i was suppost to go for sonar scan & i couldnt because of matters beyond my control. Now iam faced another matter which i cant dont have a say on. Iam so depressed.... And i know it has an impact on the baby but i cant help it.... This morning i felt the baby miove from 06:00 whilei still in bed, even now, its still restless. I dont know what to do calm her/him down hhhmmmmmmmmm

Week 24, 6 day

Iam at work now and feeling tired as hell, and sleepy too. Cant wait to go home. My baby has been really hyper active today, wish i had that kind of energy. Well that could be because this squater is using up my resources, know whats that called = Parasitism. But iam only too happy to share but sometimes i get the feeling that this baby doesnt really want to share, know what i mean??? Anyway iam capput as i meantioned before. I think iam gonna go home now, hey its only twenty minutes before the time, whos counting right? Well untill tomorrow. en hey, tomorrow iam turning 25 weeks woooohhhuuuu its amazing how time flyes just when your starting to have fun. WOW hey, 25 weeks tomorrow....

Week 25, 1st day

I think my day is about to improve.... Started off very cold and cloudy outside. But the first event of day has already changed my mood! I think iam gonna enjoy this day being a friday and all!! I need to go shopping for warm clothing this weather hey, its so cold & iam gonna haveto protect myself from it... Cos looking out for myself is, is looking out for my angle... I love her already, and i've havent even met her yet. Pls note iam saying her because iam pushing for sisterhood in the house!!! Girl - Power Rules.....

Week 25, 3 days [Proven by Dr.]

Hi every body.... Today is the 12 June 2007, its a tuesday! I've just comein from seeing a Dr. and He told me that iam having a Girl!!! Yes.... Its a girl!!! Iam so happy though my boyfriend had hoped its a boy but hey, there can only be one. And mother knows best!!! Little Reatlegile, Letlotlo is a girl, God is great! I therefor thank him for this miracle his granted me to do , called birth!

Week 25, 4 days

Hey, iam so tired that i cant even pay attention. I just wanna go home.... Anybody feel me? I've been trying stay alert, my eyes keep shutting on their own... Heish and apparently i've got iron deffeciency. I've been trying to search the net for alternative rich in iron foods that i can consume on a daily basis... Iam just oh so tired & the Dr said my body's lack of iron of cause for this!

Week 25, 5day

There's one thing that gives me comfort, dispite everything that is happening to my body. Its that iam atleast going to have a healthy baby, my little girl... This aching back, the head aches even when they are not really never going to go away as she will be demading (in her own way ofcourse) which might give me more head aches. but hey, atleast i'll have my mother to help out... Thank God for mothers!!!! continuing, the stress, lack of energy and all the grouce other stuff that i dont want to mention, iam gonna be a mother. It breaks my heart to remembering at first when i realised that i was pregnant, i actually went out and researched how i could get rid of the pregnancy. But i truly believe that when some thing is meant to be it shall be... cos, here iam 25 weeks and 5 day prego! En Iam loving it... I think! hahahahaaaa

Week 26, 2days

Wuhuuu, only 14 weeks to go. Its so miraculous, but yesterday i felt my baby's real body parts, as she moved. Ya, i could feel that this is a hand, heel & particularly the head! And the size of my tummy is just growing hey! The last pair of jeans i fit into arent as comfy anymore. This only means a couple of things, i need to go shopping. I had promised myself that i wasnt going to buy maternity wear, i was intending on buying stuff i can still use afterwards. but by the ways iam puttingon weight, heish, i dont know anymore and so bloody cold hey, by the time iam due i'll be a big as a house, cos right now i look like a cow... I dont like how i look any more... Mean while strangers are just showing me with compliments, i hate it and i hate it cos they know how i used to look like before this squatter moved in!!

Week 26, 4 days

Iam feel like death warmed up today! I've got flu and its not helpin at all. I cant look down without mucous dripping down from my nose, grousse! I had to have my lunch very fast as i didnt want any extra liquity salt on it, grousse!! The baby is moving more and stronger by the day, Jesus and iam loving it! My girl is gonna be queite the athlete, i hope. I just hope all this energy is not gonna be used against me some day, you know! Climbing out the wondow & the fense and stuff like that! I hopeful that my baby will have eventless teenagehood like i did! By eventless i mean, no wild parties, drug usage, wild sex and stuff like that! If it wasnt for the flu, i would have had a great day, today i've had no back ache, muscle cramps and all that other stuff that usually goes on during a normal day....

Week 26, 5 days

I would like to thank My Lord Jesus Christ for his continued showing of blessings upon my life. Three weeks back i went for an Interview at one of South Africa's leading national banks. Today the anwer to my prayers was delivered & they appointed me for the position i went for. I would also like to add that i truly belive that we live in a purpose filed world were every thing happens for a reason! If it wasnt for my 26week old treasure, i wouldnt have realised that i needed to take better care of my finances & saw that i desesrved better at work and every where else! The will to provide for my child lead me to venturing into the unknown seeking alternative work, which i got today, thank you Jesus... My little girl hasnt stopped moving since i got the news, i know how she feels. Iam so excited that i've told every one. Started with my immediate family went down to friends, literally all the people who've had any kind of contribution to this appointment or other wise!
