About Me

I'm 23 years old and have been married to my wonderful husband since November 2007. We're looking forward to the birth of our first child, a son, due early February 2009. I am having, touch wood, a relatively easy pregnancy so far.I am now 35 weeks pregnant; the finishing line is in sight.

I'm from a family of 5 girls and I'm the first to become pregnant, so our little boy will be adding some much needed testosterone. Lol. Personally though, I did not mind if I was having a boy or girl, as long as the baby is healthy, with 10 fingers and 10 toes. I'm very lucky because my husband and I are both from very close knit familes, and we know they'll all be there to support us through this special and exciting time in our lives.

I hope you all enjoy your pregnancies, wherever you're in the world. Not so long from now, we'll have little bundles of joy to take care off; little innocent children who are completely dependant on us, their mothers.

Baby dust to you all. May God bless us all with happy healthy little babies.

My Pregnancy Jounal

(I've moved all other diary entries into a blog on the right).

01/01/09 (35 weeks, 1 day)

I can't believe how fast time is passing. Just about a month, or possibly less, left to go before I'll soon have my healthy baby boy in my arms. I'm very excited :) From probably 34 weeks I've been getting quite tired especially when I go out, but I just can't resist the sales ;D , especially when it comes to buying cute little things for my son to be. I've got an antenatal class booked in a weeek and a half, I'll be nearly 37 weeks then. I can't believe they've given me such a late date!I just hope I don't go into labour before then as I don't really know what to expect. Actually I'm quite frightened about it all. Although I know deep down everything will be ok. My birtyhday is coming up soon too~ I'll 38 weeks at the time. What if my baby is born on my birthday? That would most definetly be the best birthday present I could ever recieve!...

Only 7 weeks left to go! Where is the time going?! I had a scan last week thank God my baby is growing well; he's becoming a chubby little boy. Lol. I've got another scan booked for next week so I'm excited to see how much he has grown in 2 weeks. From what I've read the last few weeks of pregnancy are when babies put on the most weight.

I'm quite big now but not uncomfortably big, although I do have some trouble getting to sleep at night. What else, um... I've put on about 22 pounds so far, so I'm doing really well. I'm trying to eat a balanced diet so my beautiful boy recieves all the necessary nutrients he needs to grow up big and strong. Although I've to admit I just can't seem to resist Dairy Milk chocolate. Ummm...

26/11/08 (30 weeks)

My pregnancy really has been great so far. I feel blessed. Although I didn't sleep well last night; I kept tossing and turning and I had a horrible dream. Only 10 weeks to go now before I can hold my beautiful healthy baby boy in my arms.

20/11/08 (29 weeks, 1 day)

I'm loving being at home! Even though I'm not working at the moment I still have so much to do. I quite like being the little housewife, and absolutely can't wait to be a mum to my little baby boy. 10 weeks, 6 days left to to go before we get to meet our healthy baby boy. Hurry up time. Lol.

13/11/08 (28 weeks, 1 day)

I'm now officially on maternity leave!! It feels so good to be able to be relaxing at home compared to being couped up in the office all day long. I can now do what I want, when I want, aah the freedom! I doubt that will be the case when my little baby boy comes along though, lol; I'm sure he'll be ruling the roost.

Anyway, I'm feeling really good, still not that tired, I expect that will probably change in the next few weeks though as my baby grows bigger and stronger. His kicks are quite powerful now, sometimes I'm like 'wooh there little boy'; he's going to be a strong healthy boy so that is all that is important.

I went for my glucose tolerance test yesterday. I should get my results back in the next few days. Fingers crossed everything is ok.

29/10/08 (26 weeks)

Everything is fine with the baby, thank God. Went food shopping last Saturday and walked home afterwards, not a good idea! I was in so much pain I could hardly stand up; the sides of my abdomen and my back were so painful.Fortunately though, I had a good nights sleep, using a hot water bottle, so was so ok by the next morning. Apart from that the week has been pretty good. My maternity leave starts in a week and a half! Woohoo!

Boy or Girl Test

The day you deliver outside will be slightly overcast. Your baby will arrive in the early evening. After a labor lasting approximately 7 hours your child, a boy, will be born. Your baby will weigh about 8 pounds, 7 ounces and will be 18-1/2 inches long. This child will have dark brown eyes and a little patch of hair.
