10 weeks 5 days..

OMG, my belly is huge, and its not baby its fat from all the food I have been eating LOL. That pic is 10weeks 1 day.

So friday was a success I guess you could say! Went out to my mums first for a late lunch, after we ate I gave her her wrapped present...she thought it was undies, then guessed a baby bonnet (wtf!? lol) when she opened it, it took her a while, then she asked if I was pregnant haha, and looked at me, then I lost it, bawled my eyes out while nodding yes, which made her cry then we hugged for a while ... I was such a big baby lol, Kyle was sitting there probably thinking I was a freak! haha.

She's so silly, she asked if I wanted to be, OFCOURSE! We'd only been trying since June!

When the kids got home at 4:20pm we told them they were going to be an aunty and uncle, they didnt quite respond how I thought they would, didnt say anything, just gave strange looks and continued doing what they were doing... I know they'll be more excited when they actually see a baby belly. Can't wait for them to be able to feel it kick aswell as everyone else.

After we visited my mum, we went out to kyles mum, We gave her her wrapped gift, and she read it, then did the laugh she does, and I could tell she was getting a little teary, and asked if we were having a bub, told her yes, and shes like noooo really?? and came and gave us a hug! :)

Kyle called his brother in Dubbo while we were out there, and we went up to his other brothers house to tell him and his family aswell.

Off to my sisters this weekend to give her her shirt, then on the way home will visit my dad to give him his.

For now, thats it on the updates.

1 week and 4 days til my 12 week scan! woohoo!

9 weeks 5 days

Thought it be time for a little update.

I'm no longer feeling sick and nauseous all day! woohoo!!! That sucked to have to be eating all day everyday just to feel a little bit better! Although I am getting a little bit of an appetite on me!

We've decided to tell our mums this coming friday!! I bought tops off ebay to give them so they can figure it out for themselves when they open it. For my mum "My grandma loves me" and for kyles mum "Don't mess with me coz my grandma kicks butt" I am hoping my mum can keep it secret from my sister coz I want to tell her the week after...I got her a shirt too "My aunty is simply the best" and also one for my dad "The best thing about pops house is pop" :) Cant wait to hand them out!!

Found out the other week that my friend tash from highschool is also pregnant! She's 2 weeks ahead of me though, so we're pretty close! She's up in brisbane though so I dont get to see her too much! would be good if she still lived here, but we can still chat through facebook and sms.

Looking forward for my 12 week scan, I just want to know that its in there, and its growing, and its healthy!!
I'll be telling work the week after aswell, hopefully they can take me off the late nights asap after I tell them! *fingers crossed*

Anyways I think that all the updates for now. Will let you know how the telling the mums goes!

8 weeks 5 days

Went and saw my new GP today, omg I love her lol, well she's alot more knowledgable then my last gp thats for sure. Got my 12 week scan referral so I am a happy chappy! she did ask why I wanted it and such, and what Id do if it came back that I would have a baby with abnormalities took me a bit aback, I guess Id keep it, dont really want to think that way... but yeah.
she used the mini stick thing to see if she could find a heart beat but she couldnt but thats ok coz she only hears 1 in every 4.

My fundal height is 9cm!

Also she told me the midwifery service after labour is only 6 hours not 24!!! I cant leave hospital 6 hours after giving birth!!!! Will have to think about this i guess.

Also asked if Id had my tetnus shot, I said yes 3 years ago, and she asked me to find out whether it had boostrix in it or not, so I called up my old doctors, and they reckon they have no records of it, so GREAT just GREAT! I KNOW I had it when I was 21, and at my old drs clinic. but they reckon it wont hurt me if I get it again.

ALSO, I go back to the GP in a month, and shes giving me a pap smear! when she asked about it I pulled a funny face, and she asked why I pulled it, and I said because I hear there is alot of for and against pap smears while pregnant, she told me when ur not pregnant in pap smears they go into ur cervix, but while ur pregnant they stay on the outside, I trust her, and I really do need one as I had an abnormal one a year ago.

So I got my yellow antenatal card and everything. its all very exciting right now.

Booked in for my 12 week scan today aswell!!! Its booked for Nov 5! 12:15pm I can't wait to see our little baby :)

I was in with my GP for atleast 45mins just talking about everything. was great.

8 weeks

So, blood test results were "no abnormalities" no HCG level nothing, Just great! Oh wells, atleast nothing is wrong and its still kicking :)

So an annoying little routine has begun! my bladder decides to be at its FULLEST 1/2 an hour or 1 hour before my alarm is due to go off! and I dont even drink too much before I go to bed! maybe a mouthful or 2 of water and thats it!

3 and a bit weeks til I can tell everyone!! Was going to tell mum and my sister a little earlier, but I keep debating with myself whether I should or not.
Mums having a PASH party when I will be in my 11th week.. but I dont want to take all the attention away from it being her party... so I was thinking maybe the weekend after. But my sister lives up in brisbane so I would have to go up and visit her ... I guess its an excuse to go check out her new place though.

Also... put on 2.3kgs!!! in like a month I think! I am kinda disgusted in myself! Been eating heaps lately, but only because I feel sick if I don't! So I am off to the gym for the next 3 days (well thats my goal) I havent been in 2 weeks so I think its best I should lol.

Told another friend, at 7 weeks and 2 days... so now 3 friends know. and I know a few friends I havent told yet will be pissed they didnt find out earlier... but I hope all will be forgiven when they do find out :)

Doc appointment with Dr Tinker is next monday, hoping to get my referral for my 12 week scan!

So thats all in news now.. til next time

6 weeks

So had a little freak out yesterday.. had a little spotting!!

Made a doctors appointment today, and the receptionist told me to go to the hospital if I got bad cramping and heavy bleeding, after I hung up I bawled my eyes out just at the thought of that happening.

So I went to the doctor at 2pm, and got told 20% of pregnant ladies experience some form of bleeding and it could possibly be fine.. he felt my belly, checked my pulse, told me I haven't lost it... which I knew I hadnt... but I still worry that something else is happening...

He also said I am a very anxious person and I should look into meditation. He told me everytime I come in to see him I seem really anxious and need to calm down a little as as the pregnancy continues along its gonna put more stress on my body.
I can't help but worry, its just who I am, plus it's always nerve wrecking visiting the doctors! especially after experiencing bleeding in early pregnancy.

Anyways its just a wait and see thing for now, he said that I probably could bleed again.. I got another blood test done to see what my hcg levels are... find out that result in a couple of days!

So many calls!

Wow, have I been through alot lately OR WHAT!!

So I called the number I was given for the OB, was told its the wrong number, so they give me another, that number doesnt exist.... so I called the main desk at the hospital asking for dr amelia hare and they forward me on to her number, she has a recorded message saying to call another number, I call that number, get a person, but only to be transferred onto a MESSAGE MACHINE!!!! AHHHH!! So I leave a message, hear NOTHING back for a week, call back telling them I havent heard from anyone, and that day they call back! FINALLY...So I was ---><--- close to getting an appointment made til she mentioned the midwifery service, and I said I was interested in that so she put me through to them which LO AND BEHOLD was ANOTHER answering machine, I leave my message... go to work, theyve called me back left a message apologizing for telephone ping pong. I leave a message 2 days later with my mob number and FINALLY a midwife calls! aaaaaand IM IN!! woohoo!! After ALL THAT!

So after I called my GP for blood test results (which are all good) I got an appointment made for and with a DR tinker, so I see her on Oct 12, she specialises in pregnant women and was only taking on new patients if they were pregnant....So when I see her I have to get copies of my blood test results, tell her I am doing the midwifery program, and get my scan referral for my 12 week ultrasound! After I have my 12 week ultrasound I book in to see my midwife!!

Sooooo much stuff to be done!! Can't wait til 12 weeks!!!!

Today I went to the Lismore Races, first time ever, wasnt too exciting... and wasnt asked or probed as to why I wasnt drinking so that was alright I guess :) Will be good when I can tell everyone so there isnt that fear of being asked why Im not drinking.

Anyways I guess thats enough rambling for now. More updates later.

xxoxx

2nd Doc's Appointment

So, I got my Blood Test Confirmed, it's official, I AM PREGNANT! Wooohooo!!

Went back today to see the doc, got a referral for an Ob/Gyno she's down at the base, so I am happy with that, atleast its somewhere where its all gonna happen in the end :)

Have to get more blood tests done. Was meant to get it done today, but the pathology person was gone... had to leave my urine sample there, and gonna go back tomorrow to get the blood test.

So I'll be calling the Dr at the Hospital tomorrow most likely, and try and get in to see her in a fortnight....although Dr Mario said I wont need to see her for a month, I'd like to get in early just incase!!

So it's all going along pretty slowly, just hope when I see the hosp doctor I can get more questions answered about the months to come!!

OH and we've already started looking at names!

If it's a boy we're thinking either Owen James or Noah James. If it's a girl Ruby Arabella, Arabella Ruby, Ruby Amara or Ruby Chelsea.

Not going to choose one until he/she is born! Want to see what they look like first :)
