Hello everyone, my name is Dani and I am married to Ewan. We have 9 beautiful healthy children. Our eldest 2 children are married. The next 2 are also out working in the big wide world. I homeschool 4 of our 5 children that are still at home. Our youngest is Noah Gabriel who was born on July 4th 2008.
.
And God be praised..........WE'RE PREGNANT with our 10th.
What a blessing straight from the hand of God!
4wks, 3days..............5th October 2009
My period was 3 days late last month (Sept.09) but I tested negative so this month when my period was also 3 days overdue I had one test left and decided I would use it even though I didn't feel the slightest bit pregnant and I was quite sure it would be negative. Well what a surprise when I got that 2nd line. :) I still couldn't believe it and then I checked the expiry date on the test and it had expired a month ago so rather than get excited too soon I went to town and bought another 2 tests. The first one was a 'first response' test which I did as soon as I got home in the middle of the day and voila!!! Positive. Ok so by then I was starting to believe it but still wanted to see it on a clear blue with morning urine, so the next morning I did the other test and it came up 2 lines straight away. Oh boy was I praising God!! We have been praying for another baby for ages.Actually I have always wanted twins (identical girls to be precise but I would be happy either way) and my little 8 year old has been praying every day for God to give mummy twins in her tummy. Bless her little heart. :)
5wks, 2days........11th October 2009
The only symptoms I have are a yucky taste in my mouth straight after drinking tea or coffee or if I haven't eaten for awhile. And the other symptom is tiredness. I feel quite sleepy all day although its not unbearable......yet! Other than that I feel fine. My breasts aren't sore, although I'm still breastfeeding at least 5 or 6 times a day so that maybe why. I guess I'm visiting the loo a bit more than usual too come to think of it.
5wks, 3days........12th October 2009
I became quite concerned with my lack of symptoms so today on my way home from town I bought another First Response pregnancy test. I did the test as soon as I got home and got 2 strong pink lines within 10 seconds. YAHOO!!! Now I can officially relax and KNOW that I'm pregnant for sure. :)
6wks, 1day..........17th October 2009
2days ago I spent nearly 3hours mowing lawns and then yesterday I got up to some very very slight pale pink spotting. Just a couple of times briefly in the morning but it really worried me because I had quite uncomfortable cramps at the same time. I took it easy yesterday and made myself have a nap in the afternoon, but mostly I just prayed and committed this pregnancy into the Lords hands and just trusted that His will would be done. Well praise God, by lunchtime there was no further sign of pinkness and the cramps disappeared during the afternoon. I'm so grateful and SOOOO relieved. As far as symptoms go.......I am really sleepy. I have had a headach pretty much constantly for the last 3 days. My nipples are sensitive. I have the odd zingy pain shoot through my breast. I have just about a constantly foul taste in my mouth. But as far as morning sickness goes...hardly a thing. Just the odd little brief hint of nausea but not really. My weight has gone up which doesn't impress me at all. I'm sure I don't usually gain weight this early. And usually I feel really sick by now. I think I would feel a little relieved if I started feeling sick. Lol
7wks, 3days..................26th October 2009
Well I finally have some morning sickness. Just today I have felt seedy on and off all day. I was nearly gagging when I was cutting up chicken at lunchtime and again when I was cooking mince at dinner time. I have a constantly yucky taste in my mouth and the only time its gone is when I'm eating but as soon as I stop it comes right back. Chocolate buttons taste wonderful but I dare not eat them all day. So far I have gained 1.5kg or 3.3lb so I guess thats not too bad. I have turned into an oven again, especially at night. My skin is boiling in bed and I have to sip water on and off all night. Up to the toilet once or twice in the night and once I'm awake I have an awful time getting back to sleep. Then my tummy starts grumbling hungry.....so hard to ignore. As far as daytime goes, I'm soooo tired all the time. Often I am ready for a nap by 10am. Its crazy. I then need another one in the afternoon. I know its just hormones though cos my body feels great....I'm just tired as in the eyes. The headaches seem to have gone, thank goodness but I have had really sore nipples and just today they have become excruciatingly sore. Especially since I'm still breastfeeding Noah so latching him on and the first few minutes of nursing is agony. He now only has 3 feeds a day instead of the 6 that he was having a few weeks ago. The last couple of days my tummy has started to pop out a bit which is always exciting. I said to my husband tonight as he looked at my bulging abdomen......"isn't it exciting, filling out again. I just love this" and he said, "I know you do" with a friendly knowing sort of smile. He's just as excited as me about this pregnancy which is a real blessing. We've already had plenty of hassles from other people, (mainly extended family members) about having children at our stage of life (the cost, the risk etc...) It all gets a bit tedious at times. If they can't be happy for us then they could at least keep their opinions to themselves. Its almost like they wish the worst for us....."what if you die during childbirth? what if you have a downs syndrome? ..... and so it goes on. Gosh!! what if I get run over by a truck??? Oops....there I go venting on the computer again. Lol Other than all that, everything is WONDERFUL :)
8wks, 2days...............1st November 2009
The day I turned 8wks ALL my symptoms vanished. I had been feeling particularly sick the night before. I believe I had a bit of a tummy upset as well as morning sickness because Lacey also had a sore tum. Anyway, I dosed myself up on Colloidal Silver quite a few times before bed. And the next morning, not only had my tummy upset completely vanished but so had ALL my pregnancy symptoms. No tiredness, no m/s, my nipples were no longer sore and just to top it off......I had LOADS of energy. I was able to just have half a banana for breakfast and didn't even think about eating until lunch, where normally I would feel sick every hour or so if I didn't eat little and often. I did a HUGE workout and felt FANTASTIC after it.....sweat pouring off me. Just felt COMPLETELY non-pregnant. I didn't know whether I should be worried or not. But then I remembered my daughter Teri had this happen at about the same stage during her last pregnancy. She even took another pregnancy test just to make sure. I was certainly checking for spotting all through the day, but I had no cramping or anything..... just felt fine, so I decided not to worry and just see what happened. Well the next day I woke up feeling sick again and the yucky taste was back and I was tired all day and my tummy had popped out quite a bit so I guess it was just a calm patch before the next burst of pregancy hormones. I'm glad to say I feel very much pregnant again and last night I had extremely sore shooting pains in one breast.
9wks, 4days..................10th November 2009
This has been an awful week. The tiredness has gotten to the point where its more like utter exhaustion. Its just plain crazy......I can be sitting at the table, forearms flopped on the table and I feel like I can hardly even lift one arm up to prop up my head. Seriously......I'm not exaggerating. Add to that the morning sickness that seems to be on and off most of the day. The only time I don't feel nauseous is when I'm eating. And I seem to be ravenous every 2 hours without fail. I STILL have that constant YUCK taste in my mouth. I clean my teeth about 10 times a day just to try and get rid of it but it just comes right back. So.........am I moaning?? You bet!! ........But am I happy?? Definitely!! Would I do it all again?? ABSOLUTELY!! So what else has been happening?........I had a blood test done on Friday (7 tubes later)Lol. Also had a urine test done at the same time. I've had severe thrush all weekend. My midwife rings me tonight (Tues.) and says that my urine grew Group B Strep and that I need to go on antibiotics straight away and I need them intravenously during labour so that the baby will not be infected. OK TRYING NOT TO WORRY ABOUT THIS TOOOO MUCH. I will be a good patient for a change and do EXACTLY what I'm told, even tho I HATE antibiotics. :(
10wks, 6days..............19th November 2009
Its been a nasty week. I've been tireder than ever and sooo nauseous. I haven't worked out whether its because I've been on antibiotics which do upset my stomach or whether its still morning sickness. I took my last antibiotic last night and so far today I've still been exhausted and nauseous on and off. I've been sleeping all night, sleeping from 10am till 12noon, sleeping from 2.30pm till 3.30pm or 4pm and then back to bed at 11pm and sleeping till 6am. I'm sure I only wake up in order to feel sick, eat something, feel sick again, and then go back to sleep. Its toooo weird!! My children are loving doing whatever they want every day while Mum sleeps. Lol

Hi, Dani! How are you? I had terrible m/s that I can't even stand on my own feet for the bad headache and nausea.
klara812 - Tuesday, 17 November
HI, great thanks for the info. I'm the same as u, using it twice a week. Just to make sure everything is ok. If i didn't have the Doppler i'd be freaking out as i'm obviously not feeling any movements yet. I think they r very good idea and r def. worth it. Yes i read in ur profile about the day u didn't have any prego symptoms. I too feel sometimes like i'm not pregnant at all. Can't wait for the real kickin' to start!!! Have a nice day xxx
klara812 - Tuesday, 17 November
Hi just saw ur post in week 10. If u don't mind me asking, what did u read about the Doppler? I mean about the waves? I'm using mine also twice a week or so....

YES GOD IS GOOD and has a WONDERFUL sense of humor. YES I tell others Im thankful for my great older kids to help out and watch little ones so I can NAP. I usually bake a bunch and we have homemade bread.... (better for us of course then the processed stuff with crud in it) but lately they have been eating the crud but im just too tired to care. YES with GODS help we will get past these days/weeks, hopefully not months of fatigue... and if anything it lets hubby and kids know how much I do!!! AMEN!
momof609 - Monday, 16 November
Lady I tell ya... I dont know how you do it... This is baby 7 for me and I tell ya between homeschooling 3, running a licensed family daycare and running the kids to activities and church events I cant manage to get through my days without a nap.... I feel like im the laziest person alive. Thank GOD for crock pots so atleast I can maintain somewhat of a dinnertime schedule even if I cant manage to stay awake past 9pm.

Hi and sorry for the trouble with the site. It's a site-wide problem due to some issues with the server. Hopefully it's fixed now. Let me know if you still have trouble with anything and I can relay that to our technical team.

Hi hello! Saw your comment on the post about breastfeeding. Well done! I'm also an extended breastfeeder. I'm nursing my 2 year old and my 8 month old. The boobs are starting to get REALLY sore though. Ha! Anyway, congrats on your pregnancy. I'm so happy for your family! Blessings to you. :)
Also, where in NZ are you located? The hubby and I are praying about moving to ChristChurch. Some really good friends of ours are leaving in January and have asked us to join them for mission related stuff. Beautiful country. :)

clairebearsmom - Wednesday, 11 November
I've been feeling great! I had no morning sickness with my daughter either. I just had a strong aversion to red meat...we'll see if it happens with this one. I know what you mean about being tired. Monday I could barely get off the couch. I had to force myself though with an energetic 2 year old. I took an hour nap on Monday when Claire did and today I slept for about 1/2 hour, but I am always ready for bed by 10:30. I feel so old! lol I hope your morning sickness lets up soon! ttyl.
~Mendy-Tinksfairydust76~ - Monday, 9 November
I think the waiting list is because they are booked with scheduled inductions that day...LOL
~Mendy-Tinksfairydust76~ - Monday, 9 November
Okay, had ultrasound this morning.....Doc said last week my fluid was at 7...today was at 8...not much improvement, so he wants me back in Thursday 8am for yet another biophysical profile (ultrasound to check fluid and baby)...if everything is good that day, then more than likely ill be induced on Monday the 16th, but there is a waiting list that day, so Im on the waiting list. So Thursday I will hopefully know for sure if Monday is a go, otherwise, sometime next week Im having the baby....
clairebearsmom - Sunday, 8 November
Was reading your comment on week 9 on breaking out and I broke out so bad when I was pregnant with my first. My neck , shoulders and back really bad!! It was awful...I am 7 weeks preg. now and I expect more of the same. Hopefully not though. Hope you don't have too much trouble with it!
mommyagain9th - Friday, 6 November
Oh I'm so glad to hear that. We're both on the same page. You've taught her well. Your such a good mommy. This world needs more people like you.
mommyagain9th - Friday, 6 November
Good thing for that wedding - opportunities don't come often for family pictures. I'm amazed that I still have all 9 kids still at home (oldest is 18). **Just my opinion** but I hope your daughter just keeps praying and leave it to God to decide what is meant to be. He is the true creator of all things; I don't believe in tampering with nature. God might just know what her future holds and what she needs...as hard of a sacrifice that may be. Take care
xipheyx - Thursday, 5 November
Heheheh... I thought the expert in pregnancy like you won't have anymore morning sickness. I got spotting and checked with the midwife, she asked me to have TORCH test. I'm so scared!
~Mendy-Tinksfairydust76~ - Thursday, 5 November
Just to update you...An unexpected turn of events has unfolded, LOL..
I went for my 37 week check and an utlrasound this morning. Rylan is about 6lbs 14oz so far. Breathing and heartbeat great. But, the amniotic fluid has decreased since my last ultrasound. I am told to increase my fluid intake now till Monday. He wants to see me first thing Monday/Nov 9th to check the fluid again. If it has not increased or if it has decreased, then he will need to induce me Monday. He said low amniotic fluid is usually an indication that the placenta is not functioning as it needs to. So, I won't know anything until 9am-ish Monday after the ultrasound and after doctor has seen me. Please pray for us! Thanks!
