Making the decision to have a child is momentous. It is to decide forever to have your heart go walking around outside your body. ~Elizabeth Stone
About me.....
Hello ladies.......I'm 27 years and living in Australia. My husband and I were married almost 3 years ago. I am currently pregnant with a single wonderful active little boy....we were lucky to find out his gender as early as 16 weeks!
We lost a previous baby when I was 24 weeks due to Placentile deficiancy...we took a long time to heal. A year after losing Zach (our first baby boy) we started to try again. Nothing was happening...and after a year sped by us, and I was not pregnant we knew it was time to talk to the specialists.
We were recommended onto Pivet medical centre in Perth Western Australia. It was discovered I had Poly Cystic Ovaries (not the syndrome lucky enough)..which explained the struggle falling pegnant. I was put on a few cycles of Ovulation Induction, one of which worked but it was termed as a "Chemical Pregnancy"and it didn't last. We ended up making the big decision to have IVF, they took 5 eggs, 4 of them succesfully made it to Blastocyst stage. One egg stood out amongst the rest...this was to become the baby boy resting in my belly. I was only allowed the one egg, as a multiple pregnancy was a huge risk, so we decided to freeze the rest.

Yuck, I fainted for the first time in my life yesterday...pretty scary! I was at the Postal Office and the line was huge..I was about 3/4 of the way when I started feeling Nauseas and dizzy, then I remember thinking I hope I don't faint because it will be embarrasing. Next thing all goes fuzzy and I wake up dazed and confused hunched on the floor leaning on some strange guy who was helping me. He kept saying something to me but I couldn't make it out so I said "I think I'm going to faint", not knowing I already had, he just replyed "you did faint, can I call someone for you"...so after I got all my senses back I called my Husband and made and an appointment to see the Doctor, all is fine with baby and me...he said I just need to take it easier and eat many small meals throughout the day and plenty of fluids. The faint was most likely brought on by low blood pressure, spurred on by the big walk I did. So make sure you ladies rest yourselves...

30 Weeks! Can't believe we are here! We have gone through a lot of grief to get to this stage! Since my last update a lot has happened as we almost had to induce the baby at 28 weeks. It started with a usual Ultrasound, where it was discovered our little man was slowing down with his growth and that he was growing in the low 15 percentile. A couple days after this was discovered I woke up at 2.15am to take one of my many usual nightly toilet trips...to discover that I was bleeding rather heavy. I woke my Husband and we rushed around shoving stuff into an overnight bag and sped to the Emergency at the Hospital where I am booked in to deliver the baby. They placed me on Foetal Monitoring for an Hour but our little Jacob seemed oblivious to all the fuss and was his usual active self. They checked me in and my Specialist Doctor was called and he payed me a visit later in the morning to access the situation. There were two possible culprits regarding my bleed.....my Cervical Polyp, which upon examination looking very red and angry, and my Low lying Placenta (typically known as slight Placenta Previa)....basically they never did determine where the blood actually came from. So he recommended I stay in Hospital a further night and have another Ultrasound to look at my Placenta and the baby’s growth again. If he showed little sign of growth he would administer Hormones to develop Jacob's lungs and induce him! Luckily enough he had showed a slight improvement and I was sent home to bed rest for the weekend. One day later we rushed back to Hospital after another bleed, but didn't have to stay overnight again thankfully. We were booked in for another Ultrasound four days later and Jacob had improved again. So we were very lucky and we may just make it full term after all. And so....I am feeling like a whale and am really tired of my limited Wardrobe by now! Sleep is getting harder as I am cramping up and waking every few hours, and getting back to sleep always proves to be an issue. I have put on 13kg so far.....not long to go though! I can't wait to meet our Son; it will be for sure, the best moment in my life!

How do heavily pregnant women sleep? This past week I have been in training for the sleepless nights of breast feeding LOL, my Ribs feel like as if they have been cracked (my Doctor said basically its my Uterus expanding and putting pressure on my ribs), it’s a struggle to breath, I barely fit into anything anymore and Stomach acid constantly eats away my throat!!! Oh the joys of the Third Trimester. But it’s all worth it! Especially when you find out everything with your baby is going fine! We went to our Specialist this week and our little Jacob is doing well, he is in the 17th percentile but at least his measurements and growth is progressing. We are not sure whether or not I will have a C section, but we will have a clearer picture in 2 weeks when I see my Dr again, he will check to see if my Placenta has moved up….hopefully as I would love a natural birth, but I won’t take the risk if it hasn’t. I start my antenatal classes soon! Yay! Well not too much longer to go till we have our little man….hopefully time speeds up LOL!

Hiya! I actually have some time now to write you... finally! How are you? You said you and Mugs had a cold? Hope it wasn't a bad one....are you feeling better now? You seemed to be run down and suffering from hay fever and then the dreaded cold! I've had hay fever a lot lately too... can't work out why though. What are you allergic to? I used to get hay fever really badly when I was school age and after having the scratch test and finding out it was a cooch grass allergy, I was desensitized and it pretty much cured me of it. I used to be so bad with hay fever that i used to get migraines with it and would get disturbed vision during the onset of them and had to be walked home from school... it was awful. It's been well over 15 years since I was desensitized and so it has worn off a lot now so it is coming back again, but no where near as bad as it used to be. Right now it's mainly sneezing, constant drippy nose and really itchy on the inside of my ears... it feels like I have ants crawling in them and I always have my finger in there trying to relieve the itch! LOL.
How is Jacob? Geting into mischief? What are his latest tricks? You said he sleeps in until 9.30am... wow! Toby has never done that! haha! so you get a sleep in if you need one? that is fantastic. Any sign of emerging teeth? Toby has changed sooo much even since I last wrote to you. He is crawling properly, and fast...and all over the house. He is pulling out drawers and then their contents, and he is standing on his own now by pulling himself up on the furniture... it is so weird to see him standing and walking along the furniture on his own. He loves to crawl all over the house and lie in doorways opening and closing the doors and crawling very fast after our two cats. Honestly Alison, when they get to this stage they are soooo fast! If they see something they want they are at it in no time... it's crazy. I can't keep up with him! I have child proofed a lot but accidents are happening... mainly him standing up by using the couch and then falling sideways before I can catch him and stuff like that. It makes you feel so guilty but you literally can't turn your back for a minute and it's always when you do that something happens. The worst thing that happened was Tuesday night when he fell off the change table.
it was awful... I was in the bedroom getting myself ready for bed and Abe took Toby into his room to change him so we could pop him into bed. Abe said he dropped the nappy and literally in the time it took to bend down to pick it up Toby fell off and landed on the spot where we stand to change his nappy. I heard the bang and came running and Toby was on the ground crying. We both panicked of course and I called health direct to ask what we should do as I wasn't sure if he had landed on his head or not. Poor Abe felt so bad he was crying... poor thing. the nurse said she has to tell us to take him to the hospital, but said all they would do there is monitor him so I asked how I would do that myself and she said to let him go to sleep but wake him after one hour and then every two hours after that, which I did. I had to think what to do and as Toby recovered in no time and was actually playing etc i knew they would only monitor him at the hospital and I didn't want him in there with all the flu's, meningitis and whooping cough's etc..... the nurse told us not to beat ourselves up about it because she said we'd be amazed at how common it is but of course Abe still felt very bad. At first I felt a bit angry because it was the first nappy he had changed in ages and the one time he did it in a couple of days that happened but I also think Abe has been at work all day every day and hasn't seen just how fast Toby that Toby can move. So yeah I have been run off my feet chasing Toby around the house and really busy! It is a lovely age though for a baby to be at as he is always making me laugh and has such a cheeky little personality now. I love it when he gets happy about something and claps his hands while screwing his face up into the cheesiest smile ever showing his two little bottom teeth. He does this funny thing too where he bangs his hand on my chest and when he does it he pulls this face where he kinda sucks his mouth in and looks like an old man with no teeth! LOL
His sleeping pattern has gone back to being straight through now which is utter heaven, but sometimes still wakes crying once for a feed. I know this won't last so I am making the most of it before the top two teeth start to come through!
It's wonderful that you have been able to go out for dinner at night and enjoy it with Jacob. Sizzlers sounds good, we'll have to try it one night if Toby is awake enough.Saturday was pretty crazy as we had Abe's mum's b'day lunch booked for one, but Toby decided to keep playing and refused his morning nap and we knew that he's start screaming for it the moment we stepped out the door, so in the end we had to make lunch a dinner instead, as Toby kept on right throughout the day and didn't take a nap until 4! It worked out good for going out for dinner though, as we ususally can't and it was funny because Toby had his high chair right at the head of the table and had a pile of toys we kept rotating. He was in his element and wanted our food so we were giving him little bits of our garlic bread and pasta! He made it through to the dessert and then lost the plot a bit so we left. LOL
Hey I got your email this morning, aren't the little icing babies just adorable??? Those moulds are really nice... you'll have to let me know if ever you are going to attempt one! Maybe for Jacobs baptism?? haha....I bet you are looking forward to your cake course... and what a great hobby to have too.
Well not much other news to tell you Alison, time has just been flying here now that Toby is on the go so much, and 'm finding that even though it's easier in some ways, it is heaps more challenging in others! I'm finding it tricky to cook dinner now because you can't take your eyes off of them for a second so you're not able to concentrate on the task at hand very effectively!
How is your house coming along now? We have to rent our place out for 6 more months and then it will be knocked down and the building will commence. We have been trying all week to come up with the front elevation and it has been hard to choose between modern, traditional, imperial or contemporary style. What style is yours going to be? We had one we were going to go ahead with that had limestone and mini orb but we thought it could go out of fashion so now we have just changed it again and hopefully for good this time. It still will have some fake limestone around the entryway but is a bit more traditional I think. I' have got to the stage where I know we need to get out of this place we're in now as quick as possible because it is so unsafe for Toby as it has polished porcelain tiles inside and concrete court yards! Wed will be selling this place soon and then renting a place for the time it takes to build our new house. One with carpets and some grass!
It's wonderful about your sister coming over in August. I bet you are just hanging out to see her. It's great that you have that to look forward to as well! Think of all the gossiping and catching up over a glass or two of wine you can do! Yay!!
Well it's nearly the weekend again. We have a wedding on sat and we want to take Toby, so hopefully he won't repeat what he did last Sat and will take his morning nap so we can take him as a happy baby for one o'clock. I have said no to the reception which is on that night and am sending Abe alone because I need to be there to get Toby to sleep at night... actually we have been invited just lately to so many parties and dinners etc at night and I just got to the point where I said to Abe, sorry! can't do night times. If anyone has a lunch I will be there but night times are too hard. it won't be for too long so i don't mind. He is going through a bit of separation anxiety at the moment, too which makes it hard. When he has been waking at night crying, if Abe goes in to comfort him he just cries even harder because he wants me so I'm just not wanting to go out at night knowing how upset he gets too. He cries so hard that there are floods of tears and it takes him ages to calm down. Poor sausage. LOL
So I hope you have a great weekend and pls let me know what you got up to last weekend too! I hope you are feeling better now and hope the cold Jacob got didn't keep him awake too much for you.
Love, hugs and one of Toby's big slobbery 'kissies' for you! and I'll be in touch soon, oh and yes great idea. When all the things in your life calm down later in the year we can meet up somewhere one afternoon. I'm thinking some crackers, dip and wine. LOL
Take care, Jo and Toblerone. xxxxxxx
