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!

Trisomy 21: 1 in 792
Trisomy 18: 1 in 1982
Trisomy 13: 1 in 6205
OMG CUE FREAKOUT!!!!!!!!
But once I had time to read it, it all made better sense lol
History: Maternal age 28 years. Estimated gestational age based on menstrual data is
12 weeks 3 days. EDD 11/09/2011.
The background risk according to maternal age is:
Trisomy 21: 1 in 792
Trisomy 18: 1 in 1982
Trisomy 13: 1 in 6205
Findings: There is a single live intrauterine fetus. The placenta is developing posteriorly Fetal heart activity present at 160 bpm.

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
Some pics

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!!!
