14 weeks 5 days

I think I felt a flutter yesterday at work! But it left as soon as it came, so I can't be 100% sure!

Also prodding my belly everyday to see if I can feel it yet, find some bumpy stuff but not sure what I'm feeling for! lol.

14 Weeks

Had my booking in interview today!

Met one of my midwives - Casey, she seems to be a really nice lady! :)

Had all the general questions about my health, and familys medical history, all the boring stuff. Went for about an hour.
Got alot of information sheets, and a book too.

At the end she asked if I wanted to hear the heartbeat and instantly I said YES!
She was searching for atleast 5-10mins, and I told her tinker could never find it, and that it just doesnt want to be heard, BUT SHE FOUND IT!! woohoo!! So I Officially heard the heartbeat for the first time today - coz I am pretty sure I didnt hear it at the ultrasound, I know I saw it, but didnt hear it.
She's certain it's a boy, don't know how she can tell by listening to the heartbeat but it's interesting to know what her thoughts are on the sex! :)

My next appointment with her is in a month, so Dec 17.

13 weeks 3 days

Yesterday I got the results from my NT scan. Before the test my odds of having a baby with Down Syndrome was 1:950* and my chances AFTER they reviewed my results is 1:19,600* So I'm pretty sure it's safe to say my baby is fine! Hooray!
Called the Union about all this work stuff, it was too early when I first rang so I had to leave a message, they got back to me to say to call again tomorrow.
So I rang again today, the guy pretty much told me its not where I WANT to go as they can put me anywhere "within the 4 walls of woolworths" its about being put onto jobs that better suit me no matter what time of day blah blah blah, and pretty much said I need a doctors certificate. Jerk.

I did some shopping today!!!

I went to Mum n Me downtown and I got myself a band to help support my lower back while at work!




and while I was there I got a FREE Bounty Bag!! Woohoo!! Lots of samples, and information & Freebies!




After that I went up to the square and got myself a new bra (a cup size up!) and a maternity top (just a light grey flowy top)
So now I feel alot better that I've bought some stuff for myself! Although I really need new shorts or skirts!! My old skirt doesnt fit anymore!! I wear that thing all the time in summer!!
Anyways this was just a quick update as I am off to lunch with Mum, Meesh & the kids! Until next time!
* Rough numbers as I cant remember the exact!

13 weeks

So, almost everyone knows I have a bun in the oven! It's kind of exciting to know that everyone knows now and makes it alot easier for me to not keep it secret anymore.

Last doctors appointment went pretty well. Still can't hear a heartbeat, the cheeky bugger doesn't want to be heard!
Got my referral for my 19 week scan, and booked it straight away, I'm in for Monday Dec 20th 8:45am! So early! I am going to have to get up at 7am just to do my water prep!

Had a pretty crap past 20 hours or so. Went back to work after 6 days off to find out I was closing alone with one of the new boys. And tuesday/wednesdays there are no cleaners, so I started work and was talking to my boss about who was closing etc tonight and she confirmed it was just me and the new boy, in a joking tone I said "so when are you taking me off the closes?" she responds with "do you have a doctors certificate" to which I replied "no but I should get one, I just want day shifts" she started to get a bit narky replying "I can't change everyones hours just to suit you, if you want day shifts you can go to checkouts!" (CHECKOUTS IS THE LAST PLACE I WANT TO GO!!!) Which I took pretty badly, before she even knew I was pregnant she was hypothetically talking about what would happen if she fell pregnant, and she was saying she would be saying 'see you later' if it were to happen around christmas time, and she would want to work all the easier shifts, and its just fucked that now its actually happening, and to me, she couldn't give a stuff about the workload I have to do in a close.
I had to close seafood, clean the floors of seafood then come down to deli and clean deli floors which I am TERRIBLE at doing. On my way home I just burst into tears because I just CANT see myself doing this until I leave work.
I got home and vegged out on the couch for a while, when I got up I couldnt freaking walk! my back had just caved in, Im freaking out thinking it was gonna stay that way, but thankgod this morning its ok. If I were still in pain I was going to call in sick and get that freaking doctors certificate!

Poor kyle had to put up with me crying myself to sleep, and I KNOW its just the hormones, but Ive worked myself up to beleiving work would be considerate, and give me easier shifts as everyone else who falls pregnant there gets the easier stuff, but NO not me.

Called mum this morning, and she thinks I just need to suck it up, she got no special treatment at her work when she was preggers, and thinks I just asked too soon. I dunno, I just dont want anything bad to happen.

Gah, okay I think I have ranted enough!! Sorry for this blog to be a sooky la la one I just needed to get it all out of my system!!

ULTRASOUND!!!!!!!!!




Ahhhhh!!!!! Best thing ever today!!!! Had our 12 week ULTRASOUND!!!!

ALL is well with bub, everything is growing well and normally! It's measuring at 12 weeks and 5 days, but thats ok its only 3 days difference, I will keep counting down the weeks as I have been. CRL is 66.7mm, and it had a 155bpm. For the NT side of it the back of the neck measured 1.5, which is normal thankgod, if it was above 2.5 then we would have had to worry.
It was moving around a little bit! Was kicking off me, then doing a little movement, kinda like a back roll haha. It also had its arms up at its mouth at one stage!! Wayyy too cute!!
It's spine looked MASSIVE and its arms were heaps long! Looked like a little chubba too!!!
I was loving every second of the ultrasound and was so sad it was over! wish I could see it everyday!
Now I am looking forward to the next one at 20 weeks!!!

12 Weeks!

2 MORE SLEEPS TIL MY ULTRASOUND!!!!!!

So alot more people now know our news!

When I gave my sister her shirt she thought that I was trying to tell her I thought that SHE was pregnant LOL she's so silly! So we pretty much had to spell it out for her.

Dad was the same, said the top was nice, and asked where we got it, but I dont think he really understood, so I'm like "Dad you know what that means right?" he looked at it, then to me and shook his head, so I had to spell it out "you are going to be a pop" pointing to me and kyle as I said it LOL

After the ultrasound I am going to go into work and show whoever is on the pic we get, and let the rest of them know, so then everyone can know.
I just can't wait til I can see the bub! can't wait can't wait can't wait!!

I'll be back with a pic of the bubby!!!!!
