10 weeks 3 days

Not much there as you can see.

Oh the secret within!

Dr Appointment - report

Well as I kinda expected there wasn't much to our visit to the doctor.

He congratulated us on becoming parents which was lovely. Then worked out our due date was the 20th of June, but i think he's a couple of days out and that we're actually due on the 22nd of June. Four days after my 25th birthday!

He took my blood pressure - 93/60 - a bit low really. The advice - drink more. Predictable.

And... that was it!

We needed to book in with the midwife and basically she would take us from there.

So we're hoping to see her on the 4th Dec if I can manage to get someone to cover for me at work. She only meets people on Mondays so if we can't see her that day it's not going to be till after Christmas and post 12weeks that we'll get to see her.

So mini-mo (I think that name has stuck now), our bubs, keep growing sweet one.

You are so loved.

Dr Appointment

Thursday 2:30pm

Will be good to get an official due date.

I'm saying 22 June 2007.

Up until now

I've been feeling pretty good really. Have had the odd bit of nausea and two vomits but one I put down to motion sickness going over the Rimutaka Hill and the other to plane food - scrambled eggs.

But over night I woke a couple of times and wasn't feeling too crash hot. Got up with the alarm at 545am and had a shower and then felt like I was going to be sick. Ended up just dry reaching which in my opinion is bad enough. Then all day today I haven't felt that good really. Have this feeling at the back of my throat and epigastric that feels like an "I want to be sick" feeling but nothing just this nausea all day.... hmm but with the current smells coming from the kitchen that may change...

Ryan was a sweety this morning when he heard me in the bathroom he woke up and came and rubbed my back. Good daddy.

Up until now I've never been able to answer this question "Do you have children?"
With this answer: "Yes!"
Today it quite delighted me to do so when a patient asked me.

Oh the simple joys.

And then there were three

November 1st

Today has started out to be quite a day indeed. First I had a restless sleep due to needing to get up and go to the loo what felt like every 10minutes and then it got to 1am and I thought enough is enough. I’m 16 days late for my period which means that I’m either extremely stressed which I don’t feel I am or I’m pregnant (we’re pregnant I should say) and so off the to loo I traipsed with pregnancy stick in hand wonder what I will discover in the next couple of minutes other than sheer relief from emptying my seemingly full bladder.

So as you do I peed on the stick and watched as the urine (ewww gross) made its way across the indicator strip. The control line came up nice and bright as you would expect and then low and behold, blow me down another line appeared!!! I knew what that meant and I guess had been expecting it really. I had told myself I would wait until Friday to do the test cos you never know I might still get my period but then like Ryan said at least then I would know if I was ok to drink or not. So there it was babe that at 1am on the 1st of November I discovered that you really were there! An explanation for the weird abdominal pains the kinda nausea (although still not sure if that’s more to do with jet lag tiredness and the heat.

So back to our room I went thanking God for you. Also eager to tell Ryan that you’re there and yet wanting him to sleep cos I’m sure I’m not going to get too much more now. I managed a bit of rest on and off until about 3 when Ryan woke. I surprised him with the pregy stick when we got back and he was excited. Now we both can’t sleep knowing that you are there and of all the amazing moments and God’s perfect timing that has brought us to this place.

WOW

Feeling like we’re in a dream right now.

God bless you sweet little one. God help us to love you and teach you and protect you. God show us where to live what to do and where to welcome you into this world.
