Little wriggler....

We knew when we had our last scan that this bub is a little wriggler - we have no clear, still pics of him/her!! Just in the last few days though, I've been feeling definite movement - not the butterflies, is it/isn't it flutters that marked the first movements I felt with Sophie, but full rolling around! I can see my belly rippling and it feels strange, but wonderful.

Just wish that he/she didn't pick 2 - 3am for the gymnastic efforts!! Nice to know you're there and happy little one, but 9 - 5 is better for mummy ok? :-)

Eating for two?

Gosh, eating for two sumo wrestlers at the moment apparently!!

Since the morning sickness eased, I am barely without food in my hands or mouth....haha.....cannot stop eating. Obsessed with crackers and cheese and all things salty - friends are surmising that means a boy, but I don't know, the icecream is still getting a good thrashing!

Trying to be sensible about what I eat, but it's hard when people keep encouraging you that you are eating for two, go ahead, have another slice of cake/piece of pizza/cookie etc....

I'm so glad to be out of the morning sickness phase, but I hope this endlessly hungry phase doesn't last the whole pregnancy either - our food bill is going up!

2nd Trimester already?

Wow, 14 1/2 weeks already - this seems to be flying by, not at all like my first pregnancy which seemed to drag the whole time!! Can't believe I'm in the second trimester. Seeing my midwife again next week, so looking forward to hearing that little heartbeat again.

Have a close friend who has just announced to me that she is also pregnant and due a week before me, so it's great to have someone to share the journey with too!

Here's hoping the rest of the pregnancy progresses as smoothly as it has thus far!

It's official!!

Had the 12 week scan this morning (at 13 weeks) and all is well. Bubba is a wriggler and so it took ages to get all the measurements done, but growth is right on track and heart is strong, so all good!

And now I can tell everyone!!

Sorry the pic is a bit blurry - as I said bubba is a wriggler!!



So now this blog is public and you can read about our adventures from week to week (or day to day depending on when I post!)

ARGH!!

Just when I thought it was getting better......I've had two days in the last week of just totally random morning sickness - trundling through the day feeling quite fabulous and then "uh-oh, there's breakfast again!" Not fun I assure you!! It's that sneaky ninja aspect that is so disconcerting, and is turning me into a hermit - I don't want to go anywhere "just in case"......one of my major phobias is yukking it in public - strange huh! And seeing as I mostly just look fat instead of really pregnant, hardly anyone would believe it's morning sickness - they'd probably assume I'm some kind of hardcore drinker or something.....lol

Hopefully it will ease completely soon, though I did have until 17 weeks with Sophie, so I'm not holding my breath!

On a brighter note - our 12 week scan is in 2 more sleeps! I'm very excited to get another peek at our little bubba!

The first magical milestone!!

12 weeks today! And amazingly I'm feeling pretty great! Had a few off days here and there, but nothing like the hell that was the first trimester with Sophie!! This bub is being very good to me so far.

Have to wait until next week for the '12 week' scan, couldn't get in any earlier, but I can't wait to get another sneak peek at wombat, as Sophie has lovingly dubbed my ever expanding belly!!

I think we'll wait until after the scan to start telling everyone though....so this will remain our little secret for another week....

Week 10!

Okay, now it feels like things are moving along...10 1/2 weeks now and the morning sickness is starting to recede, probably about as fast as the belly is growing!!

(Please excuse the sulky expression - I was concentrating!! Couldn't be bothered getting the tripod out!!)
