My mood while writing this blog: Grateful and hopeful

Today ive reached the 16 week marker and im so relieved and grateful. Ive had 3 miscarriages in the past as well as some horrific pregnancy issues and ive been a nervous wreck, now i can relax a little. Miscarriage is now unlikely but i must admit to wondering what will go wrong later in the pregnancy.But im trying not to think about it too much, stress and worry isnt good for me or the baby.

Ive had that horrible cold/flu bug thats been going around for 10 days now but despite that im less tired , my morning sickness has eased to just morning then im fine all day and i can actually eat again lol :) Im feeling pretty great at last! Im even looking pregnant now and am officially wearing maternity clothes :)

I bought my own doppler machine so i listen to babys heartbeat every morning and evening for reassurance and bonding. The children love to listen to the babys heartbeat also, it helps them feel part of it all. I also believe i felt my first tiny wiggle yesterday :)

Now i cant wait til my 5 month scan in the beginning of feb to find out wether baby is as healthy as i pray he/she is ..and to find out wether im shopping for pink or blue :) I feel so truly blessed and priviledged and happy....this baby was such a shock discovery but hubby and i couldnt be happier about it now. Life is great :)
