Had my blood test this morning. This test is for several reasons…….to check my blood type and a routing test for STD’s, and also testing that goes with my ultrasound next week. It was frustrating this morning though, cuz I’m not good with needles and I need to lay down in case I pass out. […]
I’m proud to announce that Alex and I have both decided on a girl and boy name for our child. I’m surprised at how easy it was for us to come up with 2 names. I thought there’d be a lot of disagreeing over deciding on names. There seems to be plenty of books on […]
I’ve finally scanned the ultrasound images, so here is the first snapshot of our baby 😉 It feels absolutely incredible to be able to see that…..this little thing that is growing inside me. Ahhhhh, hormones do wonderful clucky things to you!!!
Incredible, absolutely incredible. I can’t begin to explain the feeling of seeing the baby on the scan for the first time. I wish Alex could have been there to share it! It just made it all really real, and so reassuring seeing it kicking and punching away (already practising combat I could tell!!!) and the […]
I’m positive I felt my first flutter of movement this morning!! I know it’s pretty early, but after talking to some others who’ve had babies I’m sure it’s the baby. It felt a bit like wind, but only it was in a different spot, distinctly right where my uterus is. I’ve never felt it in […]
I’m now 8 weeks pregnant and feeling a bit fat, although my friends assure me they can’t notice the difference. They HAVE noticed my boobs getting bigger though. lol, like I needed more of those. They’re a bit painful so I guess I got lots to look forward to there. At Alex’s request I’ve started […]
I finally saw the doctor today. Kinda reassuring but also overwhelming at the same time. I found it intriguing that he didn’t actually retest me. I know it’s certain that I’m pregnant anyway, but it was interesting that he just took my word for it. The tests are that reliable though that he didn’t feel […]
What’s the deal? Tonight I’m bursting with energy, filled in pump and balance aswell tonight which resulted in me teaching 3 classes (combat being the last) and I hardly felt like I’d done much (mind you, I didn’t push the weights in pump). Well didn’t feel like 3 classes anyway. But what’s up with the […]
I’m now 6 weeks pregnant and some things in my body feel like they’re starting to settle down, but other things feel like they’re going haywire. I think I’ve put on 2kg of fluid just in the last 2 days which feels depressing, although other people assure me it’s not noticable, but I notice it! […]
It’s around about now that the baby’s heart first starts beating, around 24 days after conception. Amazing to think something like this can happen so soon. I think the rapid progress that is occuring in the baby’s development at this stage definitely reflects how tired I feel! I’ve been doing lots of reading and yes […]
The last couple of days I felt a bit upset and hormonal and I must say I feel much better now. But now I just feel flat and completely unmotivated. I guess cuz I feel like my life is at a standstill and I’ve gotten behind in just normal day to day organisation and it’s completely […]
I’m so lucky to have such an amazing person to be in love with! Somehow Alex suspected something was up when I sent a fairly innocuous text message to him last night…….so he skipped his balance class and came home to chat with me. Without knowing yet how to tell him I was pregnant, I […]
My period is 2 days late and somehow deep inside I’ve had suspicions I might be pregnant. When I got the pregnancy test from the chemist though I suppose I really didn’t expect it to be positive. I did and I didn’t somehow at the same time. Deep inside me I desperately wanted the test […]
I’ve just noticed that I’m at the 29 day, meaning my period should have been due by now. I think I have a pretty strong hunch I might be pregnant, since something just doesn’t feel right and I’m NEVER late. Somehow, I really want to be pregnant right now. I dunno, the urge is incredibly […]
This blog was originally created as a surprise private blog for Alex when I installed this on this day, 30 August. My idea was to have access for the two of us only and to share our love for each other. But when the news came that I was pregnant with Alex’s baby I then […]
