Our new baby girl

With both my other kids I was right about their sex from the get go.  I always just know what I am expecting.  This time my heart says it will be a little girl.  We went for a scan at 13 weeks, and although it was still a little early to tell, the lady also thinks it is a little girl.  Guess we will confirm it at our next scan, when ever we go.

 I must say I am really exited about having another princess.  Tutus and crowns just makes me smile.  We bought the cutest pink outfits and I can't wait to see her in it.

So before I even knew I was pregnant, Cara-Mia told every one she is having a baby sister called Callisa.  I absolutely love the name.  Don't think daddy is too impressed that Cara-Mia thought of it but oh well.  It is my turn to name the baby since he chose Ciane.

 But I don't want her to be just Callisa, so her name will be Carmin-Callisa.  Something a bit different. Like both my other kids ....

 Carmin
Language/ Cultural origin:  Latin
Inherent meaning:  Voice like soft music
Spiritual connotation:  Joyful
Scripture: Psalm 149:1

 Callisa:
Language/ Cultural origin: Greek
Inherent meaning: Most beautiful
Spiritual connotation:Lovely
Scripture:  Song of songs 2:14

 I love names with strong meanings.  All my children's names have strong meanings.

 Can't wait to meet my new baby girl.

The birth of Ciane Jacob (Rewrite)

The birth of Ciane Jacob 29 November 2012 Our unplanned unassisted birth I got married in 2011 and after attending two prenatal classes with my husband we both knew we wanted a homebirth. We found a midwife who was willing to assist us at home. Hired a birth pool. Got all the necessities.... Now this birth has a big back story ... My amazing mom, my rock, my hero's birthday is on 30 November. And since she turned 60 that year we planned a huge party with all her friends, and family and this party would take place on the morning of the 29th as it was the date that suited most people. Morning of 28 November. I some serious discharge going on down there, but we don't panic because we have a scheduled appointment at the midwife later that morning. She obviously also noticed the discharge and said it could be one of two things. Either I have a serious infection and need antibiotics or I am in labour. We said 100% no internal exams, that stuff freaks me out, it...

The birth of Carmin Callisa (rewrite)

Carmin Callisa 19 December 2013 Unplanned planned assisted birth at home The first time I wrote this story wasn't very good. I think I was a little too negative to an overall positive birthing experience. Both my other births went smooth and quick in their own way. And I was about to experience something totally different than what I expected. Ciane (baby nr 2) was 4 months old, exclusively breastfed, when we found out I was pregnant. I have to share this we were away for the weekend with my parents and my oldest daughter, then 3 told my mother she is going to have a baby sister named Callisa. We all laughed and joked until I started getting sick on the Monday .. like morning sickness sick. So I had a three year old and a basically newborn, needless to say my pregnancy was a little more stressed and busy as apposed to the 9 months I basically spent in bed with the others. We decided we are going to have an unassisted home birth. We know the drill. Until w...

The birth of Cara-Mia Kriel (rewrite)

Cara-Mia 15 Februarie 2010 Planned water birth, at birth centre, midwife assisted Valentines day ... the day of relationships, marriages, couples and all thing lovey dovey. My baby could not choose this day as her birth date ... her mom is SINGLE. She didn't chose that day, she waited until 02;00 am on the 15th. When you are pregnant and you wake up in a wet bed you can assume one of two things, baby got hold of your bladder and you peed the bed or your water broke. My water broke. Woke mom, grabbed the bags and headed to the Linkwood birth centre in Edenvale. A small piece of back story I was 37 weeks pregnant when I decided on a birthing place and a midwife. I wrote a two page birthing plan ... you can get really bored in those last few weeks of pregnancy. So it was straight to the birth pool for me. I made fun of birth and contractions until I puked in the bin and almost broke the bath gripping through the pain of an actual contraction. But it wasn't that ba...
