Starting to feel pregnant :-)

Although I still haven't experienced any morning sickness, my back ached something severe today and I've been feeling generally seedy. I can't wait to meet this baby.

Trying to talk DH into finding out the sex when we can. The jury is still out though. I don't think he's keen to find out though. I think he wants the surprise. I want a girl but I wouldn't be at all disappointed if my beany baby in there is a boy.

DH and I went for the first scan yesterday and Dr G let us listen to the heart beat. I could've laid there with my legs propped up all afternoon listening to it and staring at the screen.

Dr G said that Tic Tac is measuring perfectly and went through the formalities for the next 7 months. I just wish I could make the next 5 weeks fly by so I can see Tic Tac  again.

Scan on Monday!!!

On Monday we will finally get to see our little Tic Tac. I really hope he or she is OK in there as I'm still yet to experience any morning sickness...

The emotions range from super excited to absolutely terrified that something is wrong. Josh is coming with me and I'm thankful for that as I will definitely need him if things go wrong. I won't believe this is really happening until I see our little Tic Tac  on the screen.

Just a quick update

Well I think the morning sickness yesterday was actually a gastro bug that is going around work. I got to work and 4 of the children that I work with were at home sick with gastro and also a fellow staff member. I told the boss that I had been vomitting and a little diaohrea but that I wasn't sure if it was the bug or morning sickness and left it to her to decide what to do. She decided that she didn't want to risk me spreading it further and sent me home.

I went to the GP for a doctors certificate and he said that because I hadn't experienced any morning sickness prior to yesterday, he was putting his money on it being the gastro bug as morning sickness doesn't usually hit so suddenly. He did say that even if it was just morning sickness, it was definitely safer for me not to come in contact with the gastro bug as it could cause miscarriage if it gets bad. No morning sickness this morning so I think the doc was right.

I did another digi test this morning and it came up 3+ which definitely makes me happy as last Saturday it only said 1-2 so levels are obviously going up :-)

Morning sickness is here

Well I was up 3 times last night spewing so I'm feeling pregnant now. I'm just worried that it may not be ms as a child at work was sick yesterday and one of the girls called in sick today with the vomits.

Still feeling seedy but I think I'm done spewing for now. It's all worth it for my precious little tic tac though. I would go through a lot worse for my tic tac. Only 9 more days until Daddy and I get to see you little tic tac. Can't wait!

11 days until I get to see my little bean!!!

First off I'm going to congratulate a friend of mine who is having her little girl today. She's had a rough pregnancy so it's good to know that she'll finally get to hold her baby in her arms tonight.

I'm not experiencing any morning sickness yet and apart from the sore bbs and increased appetite, I feel pretty normal. I'm almost wishing for some morning sickness so that I can feel pregnant and I'm just dying for my bump to grow.

My first scan is in 11 days and I'm desperately hoping to see a heart beat. The days seem to be slipping by so slowly in the lead up to this scan and my Mum is dying to tell everyone but I just want to get through the scan first.

If something goes wrong it will get that much harder if everybody knows...

Told the family :-)

We thought that Fathers Day would be the perfect opportunity to share our news but my Dad was working on Father's Day so we invited Dh's Dad and my parents up for dinner last night and I wrote in their Father's Day cards "Love from Josh, Amanda and Baby Medley." I think we really surprised them.

We were so worried about how DH's Dad would react because we lost DH's Mum in May this year and he tends to get upset when he wishes that she were here to experience things with us. I know this has been hard on DH as well because he would love to tell his Mum and I know she would have been ecstactic. He got a little teary at one point but hid it well and seems excited about having a grand baby.

Tic Tac is due almost a year to the day since DH's Mum passed away. I think she has sent us this baby to bring us joy instead of pain upon the anniversary of her passing. I had a dream not long after she passed away and in the dream, she said to me "Don't worry your baby is coming soon." It felt so real and I'm sure it was a message from her. I know that wherever she is now, she knows about our little Tic Tac and is happy.
