Nearly 9 weeks and morning sickness sucks!

I'll be 9 weeks on Friday and the morning sickness has arrived. I haven't vomited much but just feel terrible in the morning when I'm getting ready for work. I can't wait until maternity leave starts again. I really have no motivation to be there whatsoever.

We had a scan at 7 weeks and we seen a little heart beating at 122bpm. It was so exciting but at the same time, I hope the old wives are wrong on this one because that falls into the boy category for heartbeat.

In other news we have started planning a first birthday. That year has gone so incredibly fast and my little baby is fast turning into a toddler. Sometimes I just wish I could freeze time but at the same time, he delights me with every new thing that he learns to do. He's now scooting around all the furniture with ease and crawls at lightning speed. I think we'll have a walker very soon.

We now also have a third tooth and another one pressing against the gums! He's growing up way too fast.

8 weeks pregnant and I have a serious bloat bump.

A cheeky little boy!

March and guess who is going to be a big brother!!!!

I still can't quite believe it! I just hope we have a sticky little bean. I'm only about 4 weeks along so I'm going to have a few very nervous weeks a head of me. I just wish that me and Kat could waddle along side by side because there's only going to be 8 weeks between us but unfortunately we're trapped in different states.

Because of work, we can't really tell anyone yet but this secret is going to burn me up inside. I'm going to have 2 children under 2!!!! Am I crazy? Maybe....

Ethan has also been crawling around like a boss for the last couple of weeks and getting into EVERYTING! I have a lot of baby proofing to do.

February!

Well another month has gone and Ethan isn't properly crawling yet but he certainly gets himself around and into everything! He keeps us busy and we love him more every single day.

Yesterday Ethan went to Noah's first birthday party and had his face painted for the first time. He also played with his first balloon animal until it popped while he was chewing on it. He's a bit small for the jumping castle but hopefully next time. We had a great time :-)

Anyway there's not much happening here at the moment. Just can't wait to add to our family so that we'll have many more adventures to report on. Hopefully it won't take too long once we see Dr Greening again.

Look who's almost crawling!

Ethan is just days away from crawling now and rolls everywhere! Not long now until we'll be chasing him around the house. We're also getting lots 'Dada' and 'Bubba' but no Mumma yet :-/ He is just generally lighting up our world :-)

In other news, Ethan will be getting a new cousin at the end of the year which is bring up those old conflicting feelings. I'm happy for them but knowing that it was a one night woopsy baby when were trying hard this month makes it difficult.

To add to that, I've been getting some super faint lines on pregnancy tests over the last 3 days and I'm either having some bad luck with evap lines or I'm having a chemical pregnancy. I just can't wait for this cycle to be over so that I can start again. I really hope I'm pregnant before this new baby comes or it's going to hit hard I think.

Anyway here is a photo of our gorgeous boy :-)

Merrry Christmas and a happy new year!

Well Santa has come and gone on Ethan's first Christmas. It was a big day for him but it was also super exciting! He got super spoilt and now we need to find space for all of his new toys. I can't wait until next Chrsitmas when he'll be more aware of what's going on.

Aunt Flow also came back a couple of weeks ago and I think I might be gearing up to O again. I really hope we catch the next egg. I can't wait to have another bubby. Ethan lights up my world every day and I can't wait to share that love with another small person.

He's also desperate to crawl and spends all of his time rolling around on the floor. He's gotten himself up on all fours a few times but just needs the coodination to get moving. I think it will only be a couple more weeks before he's on the move.

Ethan's first Santa Photo!!!

Ethan loved having his Santa photo taken :-) He was the absolute centre of attention and had Santa and the elves gushing over him. They all commented on how easy he was to photograph. 

He's also getting very close to crawling!!!

On another note, I have just ovulated for the first time since having Ethan. We did try around O time but I won't be too worried if nothing comes of it. Getting Aunt Flo would at least be a step in the right direction. A few more days and then I can test :-)

November, 2013

Last month we had Ethan baptised. It was a beautiful but exhausting day. We had a photographer take some beautiful family photos and photos of his baptism. Memories to cherish forever. He is now the cutest little Catholic that ever lived and his Nan Medley would be the proudest Nan ever.

Ethan is also sitting up independently now, self settling in a sleeping bag and just dying to be on the move. The difference a month can make!!
