5 September 2013

The day we have been waiting for and suddenly the 9 months of waiting felt like it went by so fast! I was scheduled for 7:15am to go into theater for my c-section. We were at hospital at 5am with my mom...she was such a great help! And my hubby was there next to me and with me constantly and as much as they would allow him to be! So after prepping me for theater and taking me there they did the epidural and made me lie down and it's amazing how fast it works. Within seconds i could feel it kicking in and minutes after that i could not feel my legs anymore...so weird and funny! Hehe! So it took a few more minutes before they would let Quintus in and he then came to sit at the top of my bed talking to me and keeping me calm...but i must say i was very calm and super excited to just see my little girl!

Mommy and Daddy to be :)

Latest photos before the holidays! :)

My mother-in-law made this cute sheep for Chanette! I just love it :) It is just a stuffed sheep...and it looks so cute in her cot. It lies down and rests against the cot or her pillow. It is my dad's birthday and one of my sister's in December. So we went out for dinner on the 16th of Dec to celebrate :) My dear parents! My sister Chantel's little girl, Luzelle. They had a photoshoot....simply adorable!!! :) She lights up my life! :) I thank God for you every day my darling Chanette!!! :) This was taken today...at the age of 15 weeks and 4 days :) We will be leaving for Cape Town next week Wednesday for a short holiday and to attend a wedding! Really looking forward to it! I will be sure to post pics and news about it all when we get back in January! God bless you all dear family and friends :) Happy New Year and enjoy the holidays with your families! May God be with you xxx Hugs :) Leana and Chanette ;)

19 weeks...update! :)

Morning from cold but yet sunny South Africa! This week is my 19 weeks mark...time sure is going faster now. And i am loving being pregnant! :) For the first time i can actually enjoy it all! I went for my last scan about 2 weeks ago and we found out it's a GIRL!!! So exciting :D Her name will be Chanette...i read a series of books before we got married and this was the author's name and i just loved it immediately! So we got our first pink outfit from my parents and now the shopping can begin! hehe! I felt Chanette move on Saturday...it was such an amazing feeling...wow! I have felt some movements before but always thought maybe it's just my stomach or i'm hungry...never strong enough to think it's actually baby moving. But this weekend it was so real! :) I am loving the idea of a little person growing inside of me and knowing that i will have the privalege to be her momma!!! :) Other than that it's going well here in SA...it's autumn now so g...
