04-5-2008 - My boring and inane ramblings........

My mood while writing this blog: Ok

February 24 2008

So excited, My midwife says I'm 9 weeks but this site says i'm 8 weeks - go figure. Either way my baby wasn't planned but he or she is a very very pleasant suprise :)
My neice was born yesterday!! She weighed 6lbs 15oz and I think the next 7 months are going to take forever after seeing how beautiful she is, and how much joy she bought her parents (their first, too.)

I've been weaning off my anti depressents for about 4 weeks now, gradually going down from one day on one day off, then one day on two days off and now i'm up to one day on 4 days off and i'm finding it really hard!! The withdrawal symptoms are brain zaps (electric shock sensation in the brain) which I have all day for days 3 and 4 as well as nausea and diahorrea. I'm finding it really difficult to enjoy my pregnancy with the symptoms as well as getting quite depressed (as my "happy" chemicals decrease) and then there's all the pregnancy symptoms and hormones to boot!!

February 26 2008

Woohoo, feeling much better today. I have a midwives appointment in a couple weeks and i'm looking forward to hearing the little heartbeat. Also my withdrawal symptoms are decreasing, I took a loxamine today and only had slight nausea in the morning which is wicked! Usually i'm vomiting-sick for at least 2 days.

I finally managed to catch up on all that sleep i've been missing out on, yay! and I am feeling lots better because of it. I slept from about 10pm last night til 2pm this afternoon so I must have needed it!!!

March 05 2008

Woohoo ten weeks!!!!

I am starting to feel sooooooo much better which is really cool.
Less tired, less moody, less everything!! Now I can just be excited and look forward to my baby. I'm so scared of getting piles though!! haha, I don't know why it just really bothers me. I'm super excited because I always thought I was infertile til I saw that positive test. I don't know why I just felt like I would never be a mother. I'm so happy that I was wrong.

Yay! 12 weeks today, It's relieving to be past that "danger period" I'm starting to feel like I'm really actually having a baby now. The constipation is a nice reminder, it's hard not to strain (to avoid piles) when you can't shit in the first place.
My bump has grown overnight enough for people to notice and someone even did the unsolicited belly rub today then apologised but I told her I might as well get used to it cause I've noticed how pregnant girls seem to be free-for-all as far as touching by strangers goes. My friend is in hospital at the moment being induced with her little boy, I hope everything goes well for her and I really hope he's not to ill when he comes out as he's quite undersized.
oooooh desperate housewives is on.. priorities.

My friend had her baby boy, he's in scbu at the moment (special care baby unit) as his little lungs are immature but otherwise seems to be fine. He's really cute and the opposite of her daughter looks wise (who is also very cute!!) I convinced my midwife to give me another U/S yessss We tried to listen to the heartbeat but we only managed to hear about 5 beats because the little bugger kept squirming away from the doppler. I was informed I have "a very active baby" which pleased me. Not long now til I get the little flutters I really can't wait. I "popped" this week so my uterus is well and truly out of my pelvis and that bump is for real. Sam (my midwife) told me I should start showing more and more rather rapidly as I'm quite skinny and there's not much room to hide.
It's all starting to feel very real to me now and i'm beginning to believe this baby isn't going anywhere except down the birth canal in 27 weeks which freaks me out but greatly excites me at the same time.

Woohoo I had an ultrasound today and could FINALLY see my baby!!! So exciting. Last time all I could see was a yolk sac! It was so relieving to see for myself that there really is a bub in there and he or she is developing perfectly normally and is moving around. I started feeling flutters a week ago, I know a lot of people say 13 weeks is too early but I say pooh to them because it feels different to gas (lighter) and is in a different place to where I usually feel gas, as well as hasn't been followed by farts or burps! I was talking to someone who's just had a baby and she said it sounds like it definately is. I think maybe because i'm a skinny minnie I can feel it this early.
I can't wait to meet my baby. My anxieties are easing off and i'm starting to feel like maybe it's not all going to be taken away. It still feels like a dream mostly. I keep expecting to wake up with that heavy feeling like oh.. it wasn't real.. but so far so good!

I'm so happy with every day I progress i'm that much closer to my beautiful baby.

Here's my little darling. That's a peice of umbilical cord by the hand, not an ET finger (haha)

April 24 2008

Yay I get my anomoly scan next thursday and that's when I find out what my baby is! Cant wait, hope (s)he doesn't cross his/her legs! I get a dvd of it so i'm looking forward to that.

May 1st 2008

It's a boy!!!!!! So excited! Can't wait to meet our little man Was awesome to see him so active in there. He was booting the crap out of me.

Here's a pic. It's from below and I labelled it to avoid confusion lol

Heatherbugg - Thursday, 4 Sep
Hi, I am in Colorado. My name is Heather. I am interested in a home birth as well. I think you answered one of my questions about it. Thanks for doing so! If you don't mind I would like to keep in touch and hear about your birth story after it happens. What made you decide to have a home birth?
