Wow what a week. We are conducting a training course here at work this week and 4am wake ups are exhausting. We have to try and get our work done before the training course starts so it involves starting work at 5am and both yesterday and Monday I was involved in conducting the training sessions so I wouldn't finish until 4pm. At least today and tomorrow even though the starts are early I am not in the course so I can head off at about 2pm. Which is fantastic as the house is in dire need of a clean!
Big news is I felt the baby definitely kick yesterday. I feel flutter type movements every now and again but this was a definite two kicks. Well two to be exact. I had just hoped out of the shower and was applying bio-oil to my belly and it was like, Ooo, Ooo. hehe not sure what sound your making but it kinda made me jump a little. Very cool! Can't wait till I feel it more regularly!
The belly is definitely starting to expand more now. No hiding it. Rounded and pregnant looking. I am off this weekend to buy maternity clothes. Elastic pants here I come! I will definitely try to take a photo when I get home this arvo! I have been meaning to for ages but just haven't had time. I have been getting really bad stress migraines lately too. Its a long story but I have mentioned my parents divorce is getting ugly and unfortunately DH and I are caught up in it as our house is mortgaged to my parents. We did this so we didn't have to pay any interest on our home loan. Problem is now we either have to get a new loan with full interest or sell. I love the house and would love to keep it but we can't afford a full interest mortgage on a $800K home. I am happy to downsize and move but DH is really attached to the house because he has done so much work to it. I have also done up the nursery and love it but its causing me too much stress at the moment. I worked out with everything that we have paid off in the past 4 years because of having no interest if we got a smaller home we could do it without needing a mortgage at all. That would be fantastic. It wouldn't be in Brisbane though nothing really keeping us here besides my mum. I don't really want to move away from her but I would rather move somewhere smaller and friendlier. Brisbane has just gotten to big over the past 10years and there are so many rude and ungrateful and nasty people. Such a shame because it used to be such a nice laid back friendly place. We have considered Wagga Wagga where my DH is from but that is a massive move. It has a university so I can definitely get a job but there is more involved. Damn stressful stuff! I just want a simply no fuss life, why is that not possible!
I get to see peanut next week. It was far too long to wait another 3 weeks till my morph scan so I have booked in with my OBGYN for next Wednesday! So excited! :)
Well best actually do some work! Try to post that belly pic tonight!

I can definitely tell the days that peanut is having a growth spurt! I feel floored today. So tired and can't function, weak and dizzy, sick. Nearly passed out in the lab this morning! Oh and STARVING! I can't seem to eat enough. I had been doing well with my eating, and I am still eating healthy stuff just tons of it! I eat and 10mins later I am starving again! OMG peanut is a pig. lol well thats my excuse I know it has nothing to do with peanut being hungry! Problem is if I don't eat the weakness and headaches and dizziness get really bad, so when trying to get work done its near impossible. The only option is to EAT!
I picked up my expensive MCN last night. Love it! It is way better than the cheap one. So I will probably get about 30 of those and a few cheap ones too. I figure I will be going through nappies like there is no tomorrow so I will use the good ones and if I get busy or bubby gets busy so to speak i have the cheap ones there as a back up.
On Sunday I spoke to soon about not throwing up. I went to lunch with my mum and sister. I had the headache in the morning but OMG it amplified by early afternoon. I got home from lunch and threw it all up, and had to go to bed, every time I rolled over I had to get up to throw up. :( I haven't had migraines this bad in years. I tried using an ice pack but it didn't help. I slept until about 4pm when I knew I had no choice but to go shopping. The headache had eased as I had taken some panadine but OMG what a painful shopping experience. DH was wonderful enough to clean the house. He also managed to put up the wall paper boarder in the nursery. It looks so good. The theme is coming along nicely. All green :) so cute. When I was picking up the bumgenius nappy from the post office yesterday I walked in the door and they had the cutest little stuffed giraffes there. I got a little cream one. I know peanut is going to LOVE that one!
Nothing much else, still feeling the same flutter type feelings. Not regularly or anything like that but every now and again. I figured a growth spurt must be coming though because my tummy has been feeling REALLY full the last couple of days. Like peanut had no room. Low and behold this morning lots of round ligament stretching going on. Its eased through out the day but can still feel it when I walk. Its good though hoping it means I pop a bit more soon!
I can't wait to see peanut again, its been 3 weeks and still 3 weeks till my OB appointment and 4 weeks until my morphology scan. I know its OK and growing strong I can just feel it but I still worry about it. I read a really really sad story on BubHub last night. In short a lady pregnant with her 4th went for her 20week morph scan. Bub had amputation from the knee down on one side and the other leg was severely deformed. She was coming to terms with it whilst waiting for Amnio results and really thought it was possible and would be OK to raise this child with a deformity. Unfortunately the Amnio results came back not good, she hasn't said what yet she was too upset but he was being induced today. Its things like this that absolutely rip my heart out! I know people have still births and things but its just so sad. A miscarriage before 12weeks is so hard, I went through two, but to actually be able to hold your baby after actually giving birth to it, I can't even comprehend how painful that must be. My little peanut is about 12cm long now from head to bum, it looks like a real baby but still so precious and dependent on me. After reading this it started to worry me, I can't wait to make it past that 20week scan now and then past 24weeks. Its still that age old, please stay strong peanut, mummy loves you and can't wait to meet you in September! I still feel blessed everyday for this little peanut.

15weeks
15weeks today :) I think I have been feeling peanut the last couple of days. Its hard to tell though, definitely flutter type feelings but having never felt it before I can't be sure its not something else.
Everything is going along well. I haven't expanded anymore lol but tummy is definitely harder. MS has eased in the last day, well I haven't thrown up today at least lol. The headaches have been tough though. I try not to take anything for them but most days I have no choice or I can't function. I am using a heat pack right now and it feels nice but as soon as I take it away the pounding headache will return.
Not much else happening really, I haven't bought anything since my last shopping escapade, my first MCN arrived and its really cute. Its the cheap one off ebay and it seems like it would work really well. I am still waiting for the expensive one to arrive should be tomorrow as I got the dispatch notice on Thursday.
I went to pregalates yesterday. It was good but the class was really big and I can't really justify the $20 a week for 12 months. I would have been fine for 6 months but once the baby is born all my money will be for things it needs not a gym membership. I am thinking I might just something to do here.
well head is hurting too much to write anymore. :(

14w2d
Still just plodding along!
On Sunday I went and visited one of the quintuplets. OMG he was so tiny. I have seen new borns before but he was so much smaller. He still isn't full term and is in 00000 clothes an they are too big! Definitely made me so clucky. gave me false ideas though lol he was so small I was looking at his head going hmm that wouldn't really hurt coming out and he also slept the whole time only waking for me to quickly feed him. He is on formula now to help him put on weight. Can't wait to hold my little peanut now! Only 6 months to go! well slightly less!
hmm what else? Yesterday I booked into start pregalates on Saturday! very excited about that. I am going to do it twice a week up until the baby is born. Hopefully help strengthen all those important birthing muscles and help with post postpartum recovery. Might also get to meet other pregnant women from my area.
MS is still here still throwing up most days. Headaches still pretty bad! Definitely have more energy though, struggle in the mornings but once awake much better.
hmm probably time for another belly shot! not much has changed at all. I have been eating really well lately and walking every day so I have actually lost a couple of kg, I am not worried about my weight gain at all only 5kg so far (no including the 15kg I gained during my miscarriages), but I am worried about the babies health. My poor cousin having pre-eclampsia :( and a friend from school just found out she has gestational diabetes. So I just want to be careful to be healthy, I don't want to put my baby at risk. I am fine to stay at this weight for the rest of the pregnancy, too much more and I will definitely be risking both of our health!
The full gassy feeling I had has disappeared. Which is good. lol I definitely think it was just bad gas! Eating better this last week has definitely helped. Lots of fruit and veggies. Still eating lots of pasta as it stops me being so sick but just getting more fresh stuff in there. I have been really craving it which is good. Rather crave fruit than ice cream lol.Seeing as its normally sweet food I crave. Apparently bubs has more self control over than bad stuff than I do haha!
I will try and remember a photo tonight!
Oh last thing, I booked in for my morphology scan for April 20th I will be 19w3d! Exciting! We definitely wont be finding out what we are having though. One we are looking forward to the surprise but two its stops us picking a name before bubs is due. I want to wait till I see its face before I decide on the final name. I think it would be really hard to be fully set on a name and then bubs comes out and doesn't suit the name at all. Thats just me and my quirky thinking though lol :)

Been a bit slack on the posting, ms is still hanging around and i have been super tired too and with work being crazy busy it hasn't helped. was very glad to make to the weekend and get a bit of a sleep in this morning.
Must send out a big sticky congrats to Rolzbubz out there in the TTC world. After a long journey of BFN's she finally got her bfp today! YAY! Very excited for her!
I went shopping today. Its starting to feel a little more real now. Went with mum and we had a great day out. I can't believe baby stuff though its like wedding stuff they put the price up for no reason! I got heaps of stuff though and all cheap good quality stuff. I refuse to pay stupid prices for things. I got a portable sleeper, was $60 got it for $19 brand new, a high chair for $40, two gorgeous sheet sets, some cute bibs, a floor play gym, a quilt for the cot and a blanket too, all matching my colour scheme which is great. Oh and some bonds singlets, they are so cute only $2 each! I also ordered online some MCN's today. A couple of types just one of each. I want to see what the quality is like before I buy a few of them. I was shocked at the $38 a nappy but they are one size fits from new born to toddler so if I spend $1000 on them its not the $6K-$9k you would spend on Disposables. When I heard that I wondered how anyone could go disposable especially when they increase nappy rash and ruin our environment! I will use them when out and about but at home MCN's all the way! I can also reuse them for the other kids that come along too!
Nothing else is new just plodding along. Weekends go too fast. Can't believe I am half way in 6 weeks and in 10weeks bubs will be classed as viable! wow

2nd Trimester! YAY Very exciting!
MS is still here and in full swing but I definitely have more energy. I am really tried in the morning but as the day progresses I get more energy. I am back to walking which is nice too.
I had a great weekend. Spent Saturday with my grandma, mum and aunty. I got to show my grandma the first pictures of her first great grand child. She is actually really excited which is so sweet. She is getting old and frail now but I don't have any doubt that she wouldn't make it until Sept. She has had a hard run the last few years. She found out she had stomach cancer, so had to have her stomach removed. This has caused her lots of problems and she has lost a lot of weight. She is in and out of hospital all the time but she is fighting on. The women in both my families are strong as oxes so I am sure they will go on for a lot longer yet.
Sunday DH and I spent the day organising a lot of things. I went around the house going through all the things that I want done before the baby is born. Its a big list so I am not sure we will be able to get the all done but we will give it a good shot. We sorted out a lot of other things too, spring cleaning and things. Was really good.
I also bought some very cute little outfits on Sunday. They are 0000 and so so so cute! I wont be buying any more clothes though, some family friends of ours just recently had quintuplets you may have seen it on TV or in the womans day. Anyway they have a ton of stuff and clothes, both boys and girls so I am going to buy them off them when their bubbys grow out of them. They had some single stuff from when they had their little girl, but with 5 of them now its useless and they aren't having any more kids so I am going to buy that off them too. God knows they need the money. Its exciting though they will get to bring the first one home soon. They were born at 24w6d and they are now 10weeks old. Not even full term. But they are all doing really well.
I had my follow up appointment with Dr A today. He was extremely happy with my exceptionally low risk of downs etc. For someone my age he said it was fantastic results! YAY! We went through my families history of pre-eclampsia, which he said isn't genetic which is great news. He said if I keep up the walking that will really help but we will monitor later in the pregnancy just as a precaution. We also spoke about my fused hips. He said it may cause a problem but we wont really know until I am in labour. He is happy to try for a natural birth and as a last resort an emergency c-section. hmm what else. He doesn't want to see me now until I am closer to 18-20weeks. Which is good. He said from here its fairly smooth sailing. I will book in for my morphology scan at 19 weeks. We are heading down to Wagga the week after that so I want to get it done before we go.
I booked my antenatal classes today and also an early physiotherapy class the hospital offers. I thought why not first pregnancy might as well get a full understanding and experience everything.
So yeah I think thats about it. Its been a few big days. Baby wise now its just waiting until we feel those first movements. Exciting!

YAY So fantastic news all around. Peanut is doing super fantastic. I know its pushed my due date forward but I am going to keep it the same. Peanut is just a big baby lol or like me, long torso with little stumpy legs lol!
OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG
OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG WE DID IT!!!!!!!
The scan was amazing. At first peanut was being a little bit lazy lol probably just sleeping but eventually we got it to wake up, it was moving around, rubbing its hands on its face and head, kicking its legs about. It looked like it had the hiccups but the lady said at this stage they have jerky movements.
It was measuring 13weeks. Good peanut. :)
The chance at down syndrome came back at very minimal 1:15500 so I am very happy with that.
I am so excited too we can now come out of the pregnancy closet. We are calling all of DH's family tonight he is one of 8 kids so its a few phone calls.
After that its everyone else!!!
I am seriously on

12w3d
OMG 5hours 29mins!!!!! :hyper:
I had a sharp pain this morning kinda where I would suspect my left ovary to be. I think its gas though. I bent over at the time so I am worried I squashed peanut or something but then I wouldn't be the one feeling the pain. It wasn't in the centre so I don't so.
I listen to peanuts heartbeat this morning about 165. So I am hoping thats all pointing toward a great scan. I seriously can't wait!
Have to book into the Dentist today. I have a really sore tooth to the extent where I can't eat on one side. I hate the dentist so I have been putting it off. Can't any more though. :(
I have been having some odd feeling down there lately too. Like bubbles inside my uterus. Its like when you have gas and you feel it moving through your intestine but this is definitely in the uterus. I was wondering if it was peanut but it is way to early to be feeling anything.
Bring on 2:30pm!!!
