12 week Sneak Peak

12 Week Belly Shot
I had my first High Risk-ANC appointment today with Dr's M and F. I'm in the High Risk clinic this time round because of my recently discovered
Kidney issewes. More on that later.

"Would you like a quick sneak peak at bubby, Bec?" asked Dr M. Deeerrrr......would I say NO?

I've been awfully ill these past few weeks, I've had my cheeky scallywag of a son throw himself with full force into my tummy when he's come in for a bear-hug on numerous occassions, I've been dancing all over the place and generally feeling a little off about tomorrow's BIG 12 WEEK Ultrasound.
I've been feeling a little grim to say the least.

I hopped onto the table this morning with my heart in my throat. My stomach was doing butterflies, I was all by myself and desperately wanted my husband there to hold my hand.....just in case.

All those worries for NOTHING! There was my precious little "Pup" laying back comfortably in my womb, 1 leg straight up and 1 PERFECT LITTLE HEARTBEAT.....I hadn't realised I was holding my breath until Dr M announced "...and there's the heartbeat, PERFECT". Perfect indeedy!

Guess what.....?I am Pregnant again. I really am. This is happening and I am absolutely besotted with my newest womb-dweller, lovingly nick-named PUP.

I shall post again with tomorrows Nuchal Translucency results.

9 weeks & 5 days

Who jinxed me?
Who went and told on me for not having any morning/all day sickness?

Because the sickness police have been by and have given me a good serving of ALL DAY nausea. It started smack bang on 7 weeks and has lingered ever since.
The 1st week was horrid. Absolutley horrid! Since 8 weeks it's not been as bad as that 1st week, but still bad enough at times where I have physically vomitted and days where I've not been able to lift my head off the pillow. Motion Sickness? I've never had it, but I can only imagine that this is what it feels like.

Bllllaaaaaaaaa!
Me and my bloody BIG mouth. I mentioned to friends when I was
6 weeks and 6 days "YAY, 7 weeks tomorrow and no sickness at all. It has to be all over by now.....surely?"
*insert, rolling eyes*

So that's the reason for lack of updates. When I'm feeling my little self again, I will write more often Little Pup.

17 more looooonnnggg days until my 1st Ultrasound. I am counting down the hours.

Stay strong little one. Geez, there's a lot of love around here for you already. Can you feel it?

Very pregnant at 6 weeks and 2 days

Ahhhh, I am in pregnant bliss at the moment.
Try and wipe that smile off my face.....I dare ya!

The 1st day I piddled on a stick and got my first faint blue line was Thursday October 1 (3 days before my period was due & by my calculations, 18 days after conception). That night I spent 8 horrid hours on the toilet with my head in a bucket with a wretched Virus. I peed on another stick the following morning at 4am. Was I still pregnant? Yep, faint line....but a line none the less.

Several more pregnancy tests later and that beautiful line was getting darker and darker by the day. Phew! I was still a little worried though because of how sick I was on that Thursday night. With my constant vomiting and gastro I had severe stomach cramps and couldn't stop thinking the whole time that my little Pup was in jeopardy.

However, to keep my mind at ease,
Dr L has since performed two Beta HCG tests:

1. 9th October - Levels were 1,503
2. 14th October - Levels were 14,832
That's a doubling rate of every 43.6 hours. Perfection!

"You my dear, are VERY pregnant" she reassured me.

All smiles here :) :) :)

So with no further a due, I am 100% confident now, that our Precious Little Pup is
6 weeks and 2 days old and due to arrive on or around the 9th of June 2010. His/Her's BIG SISTER'S BIRTHDAY!
Hooray!

I'm pregnant **woot woot**

We did it! 2 months off the pill and Mummy's pregnant.
Ahhhh, I am feeling on top of the world!
Current Weight: 48kgs
My boobies feel like they weigh 40 of the 48kgs that I am.
*knocking of wood* No morning sickness at all, no morning, afternoon, night....NOTHING *knocking on wood, again*
Tired, tired, tired. If I dont sneak in a Nanna nap during the day, I'm snoring and drooling on the lounge by 7pm every night.
But, I'm with child and I couldn't be happier if I tried.
This is it, the family of 5 (including Mummy, Daddy and kiddies) I've longed for, for soooo long is no longer a pipe dream. 7 and a half more months and we're COMPLETE!
*dreamy sigh*
PS. It's hush hush on Facebook for the time being

Our newest family member, Custard

The Easter Bunny this year bought us all a new furry friend;

Custard, our Ragdoll kitty cat.



She was born on the 20th of Feburary, 2009 in Glenbrook NSW. She has fitted in perfectly with our family. She loves to spend time vegeing out with us all on the couch in front of the heater and a good movie.
She's dead set crazy like the rest of us too!

She's perfect and we've loved every minute of her living with us since April 2009.

Welcome to the family our furry friend.
