Update: The above Picture is of Paul and me at Christmas 3 months pregnant with our little man

Hi ladies

Well I found out I was pregnant 14 weeks ago

And I finally worked out how to add messages to my page lol

I’m 19 years old and expecting my first child with my partner Paul and I can’t wait.

We are hoping for a little boy, well I’m hoping for a little boy. But obviously will be more than happy with either as long as they are healthy and happy.

Had my first ultra sound two weeks ago definitely the best part of my pregnancy so far.

I didn’t get morning sickness (touch wood) I just felt a little bit queasy at times but haven’t thrown up (charming I know). But I am very very thankful.

My stomach has lately been itchy like crazy. I know it is just stretching and I should just put some cream on it but I keep forgetting.

Paul and I are now on a count down… 6 weeks to the day until we find out what our little fellow is. Can’t wait!!!

January 3^rd

I’m not feeling motivated at all not tired sleepy but tired exhausted. I just want to sit at home with Paul all day and watch movies lol pity I’ve got to work.

I keep getting these funny feelings in my stomach like the feeling you get when you go over a hill in a car and your stomach moves mixed with like a twitch you get in your eye. It feels really cool. I don’t know if it’s the baby moving or my mind playing tricks on me thinking the baby is moving.

I have my appointment with the hospital on the 18^th of January …Finally!!!! Paul isn’t coming with me but he will come to the one after that when we find out the sex of this little fellow.

I went to the doc yesterday because I’m breaking out in pimples all over it’s absolutely disgusting I know it’s just my hormones but it’s gross. And the doctor let me hear the heart beat so that was a lovely lift to my day J.

January 7^th

Celebrated my 20^th birthday on Saturday. It was nice and I would have enjoyed a few drinks but I just stuck to the soft drink. I bought myself my first lot of maternity clothes as mine are starting to get uncomfortably tight.

It’s so lovely to say I’m 15 weeks pregnant. Paul is loving me being pregnant and we can’t wait until we find out what the little fellow is.

February 12^th

I haven’t updated in a while….

So I can happily say we are having a

And I’m over the moon.

Paul and I can finally buy coloured things and I can start to plan my baby shower accordingly.

Atm we are stuck on the name Lochlan Ricky. And I just can’t wait to meet my little man and finally turn our duo into a little family. Well and our cat Puddles as well. I can’t think of anyone else in the whole world I want to have a family with.

Paul and I are getting rather eager to meet our son. And I am pretty sure that both of our families are getting more eager.

I turn 21 weeks pregnant tomorrow, which when you think about it is quite far along, but I do feel like this pregnancy is dragging so slowly.

I was lucky enough to never have any morning sickness I felt a bit nauseous but never threw up and was able to eat brekkie lunch and dinner.

I also started showing my bump reasonably early and am now quite big majority of my clothes I don’t fit into anymore.

I felt him kick for the first time last night with my hand I could feel him moving around as usual , laying in bed so I put my hand on my stomach as I always do when he is moving to see if I can feel anything and I actually did. I told Paul to put his hand on my stomach but he didn’t feel anything he probably won’t for another month or so. But it was absolutely LOVELY!!!

I at the same time am feeling like there is a weight around my stomach that I would just like to take off for a rest as I’m starting to get a bit of a sore back and am finding it harder and harder to get comfortable at night in bed. Luckily it is only getting colder going into winter so I won’t be uncomfortable and sticky from the heat.

At times I still don’t feel like im pregnant even though the blood test says yes I am and obviously ive seen an ultra sound and I can feel him. It just still seems so surreal.

Well only 134 days to go to meet my son.

February 15^th

I went shopping yesterday for new clothes because I won $500 on a scratchie …. Nice!

I did find some nice stuff finally but it took me ages and I went to three different shops and they didn’t have much. I felt so sad cos it’s hard to buy clothes for me now.

I’m also starting to get some stretch marks on my stomach there quite faint but definitely there….it has begun!

February 26^th

Ok my back pain has definitely kicked in and its friggen painful. I can’t sleep cos I can’t get comfortable. I wake up needing to wee and then I get thirsty. I can’t stand for too long because my feet start to ache and cos my back has been sore lately. My nails are brittle, im getting stretch marks, and my skin… I thought you’re supposed to get a dam glow when you’re pregnant Yeah Right!!!!

I just needed to vent.

But as far as I know our little man is doing quite well he is moving constantly and I think he already has a little bit of a sleeping pattern as he is usually moving about before I go to bed and when I go to bed.

I am getting really anxious about meeting my son. I Still find it surreal that not only is there a baby inside my stomach but he is my own kin my son my family a gift of life.

March 4^th

I am soooooooooooooooo tired and exhausted and unmotivated. I don’t want to be at work. I uts want to rest and sleep and buy baby things all day every day. I also am getting a bit angry at little things kind of snapping and stuff.

Paul and I are looking for bigger place we are currently in a flat on the top floor mind you with no elevator just steps…

It has been so hard because the rental market atm is crazy.

We cant even start setting anything up in the babies room because he doesn’t even have a room at the moment and to be honest I don’t think we will find some where in time I am seriously crossing my fingers that we do because at the moment I have no where to have my baby shower. I bought the invitations and everything they are so cute but we have no place to celebrate this miracle. I bought a body pillow last week and I have to say they are the best things invented for pregnant women soo comfortable.

We have so much stuff already. I know we get the baby bonus once our little man is born but I want to think of it as just that a bonus. So the whole time so far, we have not relied on it once. Were planning on having everything before he is born anyways.

Booked in for prenatal classes in April for 6 weeks so that will be good Paul is coming with me they are on Thursday nights at 7pm until 9pm. they give you a tour of the delivery suite and explain all the procedures. Very excited about these classes. I also have a blood sugar reading on the 21st of this month to just check for diabetes, lovely Easter Friday. I already have the day off work so I finally won’t have to take MORE time off. Also have another prenatal meeting with one of the midwives. Hopefully all will go well.

April 4^th

We found a place YAY. And it’s absolutely lovely. We have our own clothes line and backyard and drive way and our own laundry. And our son has his own room. I can’t wait to set it all up for him.

Feeling quite well not really tired had my glucose test last week and everything came back fine which is a relief. Not as tired as I have been but at the same time not really motivated to do anything.

Have finally started organising my baby shower I have gorgeous blue invitations with little plastic dummies that you tie on the top the ones I bought you actually make yourself and Paul actually wanted to help me make them so when people asked I could say "no Paul and I did them'. He is getting so excited every day and even though at times he drives me nuts he is doing his best to look after me while im pregnant he even offered to sleep on the couch one night lol of course I didn’t make him.

I asked my sister if she could host my baby shower for me and I think she is quite excited about doing it she is very pedantic unlike me but I think for some things it is a good thing. Lol so we are having a Winnie the pooh theme so that should be fun and cute I can’t wait.

I keep having the strangest dreams about giving birth and babies and things. I had a dream a couple of nights ago that I was breast feeding and I woke up and my boobs were leaking a bit lol sorry if tmi but I found it really funny!!!

I still can not believe that in like 3 months I will be a mother to another human being it still still seems so surreal. I can’t wait to meet my baby boy. I keep saying to Paul that even though the lady that told us he was a he and said there was no doubt about it, it would be funny if he came out a she lol.

We start our prenatal classes next Thursday 10th April and they will run for 6 weeks so excited about that then I have one more prenatal appointment with the midwives and after that I don’t really know what is the next step will have to wait and see.

I have a funny feeling that I will go a week or two early im not sure why but its kind of a gut feeling so we will see how strong that gut feeling is.

April 11th
Ok so it’s my little brothers 18th birthday today and in aus that means he can legally go out and drink. I don’t know if it’s cos I am pregnant but it makes me sad.
It’s a big bad world out there and what if he gets hurt or picked on or something like that. And cos im all big and pregnant I can’t go out with him for his first few times to make sure he is ok.
I feel kinda helpless and scared because I won’t be there to protect him. I just feel so useless.

Paul and I had our first pregnancy class last night it was a bit boring honestly but Paul liked it and then they showed an old 1980s film of a lady giving birth and he found it amusing. He has never seen someone giving birth before. Lol it was funny.

April 22nd

I’m tired, not really sore, no heartburn, no backache, no swelling just tired.

Only 23 working days to go I can’t wait to finish work cos then I get to go and spend a week at my nannies yay can’t wait to see her and Pop. Paul is coming up with me as well it will be our last trip just the two of us. Then we will come back to Sydney and ive got four weeks to get my little mans room ready for him so that will definitely keep me busy.

We are still sooooo undecided about a name and can’t think of anything that just clicks. We liked lochlan to start with then Paul didn’t like it and now he likes Noah but I don’t like that so we are still so undecided. This would definitely have to be the hardest decision we have had to make yet. And I just wish we heard a name and it clicked it would be so nice.

The prenatal classes are going ok they are a bit boring honestly but ok at the same time maybe they are just boring cos im so tired by that time at night.lol

I have another appointment with the midwives on Thursday and Paul is coming with me. I have to ask if he has turned or not cos I have noooo idea I think he has cos just recently over the last few days I have been getting kicks up higher in my stomach than I ever have before. Not in my ribs but above my belly button. So im pretty sure he has turned but I guess we will find out soon. Also have to ask if there is anything else that we need to check before his bog arrival how many more appointments I have and what do I do from here on in. It will be good to know how my blood pressure is.

Yay just over two weeks until my baby shower Peta is planning it nicely and I think she is really excited about throwing it for me. The only thing I think that has annoyed her about it so far is that we don’t have a name to put on the cake lol.

I’m not really sure if I should buy more nappies or not or just wait until he is born and add them to the weekly grocery shopping no one really discusses that sort of stuff.

I also don’t know when I should be packing my bag for hospital. I should probably ask someone lol well im off best I do some work at work before I leave. xoxo

April 29th

So we went for our midwife appointment and he has turned nicely. Also I am measuring at 33 when I was 31+5. That night we had one of our classes and we asked the midwife there is it normal or something to worry about she said they only start to worry about it if your belly measure 2cm+. So atm we are doing fine.

I’m now sick with the flu and feel like I want to roll over and die lol or at least hibernate for the next 8.5 weeks. I can’t wait to finish work. I am so unmotivated and it doesn’t help when I get sick.

Less than two weeks until my baby shower and honestly I think we aren’t really organised lol. Oh well im sure it will be fine it always ends up being fine.

And in about 4 weeks we should be able to pick up the cot YAY And then I can really set up his room. We are still very undecided about a name we are now thinking Elijah arrrrrrrrgggggggggghhhhhhhhh definitely one of the hardest choices we have to make especially due to the fact we both have to like it. Im sure we will think of something...

May 13^th

Had my baby shower on Saturday and it was beautiful.

Peta hosted it for me and everyone keeps saying what an awesome job she did everything was so organised she organised the games made the cake (which looked professional) and spoilt me rotten.

Paul and I received so many beautiful things for our little bundle of joy it just goes to show how many people care for us. There is now hardly anything that we do need for our little man who mind you still doesn’t have a name. lol.

We just can’t think of anything right now.

I have posted some photos of the baby shower and some of the presents. Also is a picture of the cake my sister made god love her.

So Paul and I finish our preggo classes this Thursday and I finish work next week so everything is finally finishing up getting closer and closer to the due date.

I still have no swelling, no indigestion, My back aches sometimes but very rarely and I’m quite tired all the time I’m finding it harder and harder to sleep at night because I wake up so many times as I am uncomfortable. I’ve also woken up a few times on my back…woops! Have another midwife appointment on Thursday afternoon also and after this one my appointment will become fortnightly.
