My Milestones Monday September 3rd 2007 My hubby decided to have tantrum last night, he has not been well and work has been a task for him lately, nothing is running smoothly, but I am that exhausted I did not let it get to me at all, I actually thought how selfish, I am having Braxton Hix contractions, still working 40hour weeks, the joys of end of pregnancy girly things hapening downstairs, sore legs, swollen feet, cramps, have to come home and cook dinner, so right now, I'm sorry but I just don't care if he can't look after himself, don't get me wrong I love him to death and I do care but just right now I don't have the energy to give. Monday August 27th 2007 I had my ultrasound today to see if my baby has turned and that my placenta is up, & YES it is excelent it looks like a normal birth for me, bub weighs 2.6kgs at the moment. Thursday August 23rd 2007 We have finally found someone to take over my job, Yehhhhh! If all goes good I should be able to finish up by the 21st September 2007. I will have 2 weeks up my sleave than to complain and have a chat for as long as I like on the net with all the other pregnant mummy's. Wednesday August 22nd 2007 Still trying to find someone to fill in at work but still no luck, hopefully if everybody can agree we will hire a lady that we will put throught a MYOB course, hopefully soon as I am starting to get Braxton Hix contractions and feel that I am getting them alot earler than with my 1st daughter - Evelyn. My boss promises tho that when I am ready to go and I am almost ready to go that I can walk out hassle free, I don't think anyone is going to be given much option if my water breaks. I think my little girl is glad bubs is due on the school holidays so she can play mummy's before the have to go back from break. Third Trimester - Monday, July 09, 2007 I have been so busy lately with work and baby buying that I have not added much to my milestones, slack huh! But I am now 27 weeks and 3 days pregnant and bubs is doing good, plenty of movement daddy is getting to feel it now and sometimes when I cuddle Gav from behind Bub's likes to kick him in the back but dad sleeps very soundly and it never seems to to disturb him. Can't wait just a few more weeks at work thank goodness as my exhaustion level is starting to feel exhausted. Advertise next week and plenty of people will be getting interviewed before the training begins. I am feeling bubbies heart beat often lately, very strong and can't wait to feel some hiccups. 23 weeks and 4 days - Tuesday, June 12, 2007 My Bub gets very active at times now and is getting more exciting, my partner (Daddy) has felt it once as well as our daughter Evelyn, she is ten so it is a bit more real for her than a younger sibling. I feel huge at the moment and definately stretched, I can't beleive I still have just under 17 weeks to go, We like Jesse for a boy and Bonnie for a girl so far, names are a lot harder than expected, I feel like calling it Miracle baby since it took so long to get pregnant (2 1/2 years) and my clock was starting to tick as I am 30 years old this year. Ultrasound - Monday, May 21, 2007 20 weeks & 3 days pregnant! I had an ultrasound today and I contained myself I did not find out what it is, I think Gav may have been curious but kept it quiet. Bub's has a good heart beat is 31cm long and has a chubby tummy (cute), the only thing they are worried about is Bub's likes to lie sidewise and my placenta is 2cm away from my cervix, so I have to go back in 10 weeks for another ultra sound to check on baby and placenta position. Big sister got to have a look and Evy is so adorable (10 years old)how curious she is about our new baby. BABY HEARTBEAT - Tuesday, April 24, 2007 I am 16 weeks and 4 days today and had my 2nd prenatal appointment, the midwife Dean checked the heart beat and we got a strong one a good heart beat rate, how exciting I was so glad to hear it finally, ultrasound in about 2 1/2 weeks and drum roll...................I am a low risk pregnancy Yehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! My First Flutters & 15 weeks 5 days pregnant - Wednesday, April 18, 2007 Last night sitting at home the boys were playing the playstation (Hubby & Friend) and I felt a full on repetitive movement in my belly, it was a nice feeling as I have been really worried about miscarriages since my partner and I have had one, now I am just sitting around waiting for my next movement. Work is getting harder as clothes are short (getting too tight) and to find clothes that I like is a task on its own. 13 WEEKS & 3 DAYS - Tuesday, April 03, 2007 I am so excited as I have got throught the 12 weeks plus 1 week and 3 days more, I still feel anxious, I think once I have got past the time I lost the previous one,I will be fine so at least the 14th or 15th week I will probably start to calm down a bit. Next prenatal appointment is the 24th April and hopefully an Ultrasound the following week. Next appointment I should be able to hear the heart beat this time. The Saturday after my 2nd prenatal appointment is my first baby girls 10th Birthday, I should enjoy it knowing both my children are healthy. First Doctors Appointment - Tuesday, March 27, 2007 It was my first doctors appointment today, they took three biles of blood and a urine sample, we checked for the heartbeat but think it is too early at this point, we did hear the placenta swishing and my heartbeat, but so far so good, I will jut keep praying until the next appointment dated the 24th April, should be able to hear the heartbeat this time. 12 WEEKS TODAY YEH! - Friday, March 23, 2007 The day we have all been waiting for the 12th week mark, yeh, let's pray there is smooth sailing from here. Countdown to 12 weeks! - Wednesday, March 21, 2007 Today I am 11 weeks and 5 days only two more days to go to reach 12 weeks. Yahoo! 1 WEEK BEFORE MY DOCTORS APPOINTMENT - Tuesday, March 20, 2007 Yesterday, Monday 19.03.2007 I am convinced I felt a couple of quickenings it just seemed too obvious and 1 week from today, Tuesday 20.03.2007 is my first doctor's appointment, I can't wait, I'll be even more excited if I hear that heart beat, over 12 weeks and a heartbeat, if I get that there will be nothing that could ruin my day, anyhow prayers till next Tuesday. 11 WEEKS TODAY, YEH!!!!!! - Friday, March 16, 2007 One more week I am over the worst and I get to go to my first doctors appointment, Yeh! I can't wait just one more week, just one more week, I so hope we can hear the heart beat. 10 Weeks 4 days Pregnant! - Tuesday, March 13, 2007 Morning sickness has subsided a lot was getting worried because it has stopped a lot, then today I had a bit of morning sickness, Yeh! countdown is driving me nuts I will be glad when I hear a strong heartbeat at my first doctors appointment. 10 WEEKS PREGNANT TODAY - Friday, March 09, 2007 I have made it to 10 weeks and will be glad when I get through week 11 and week 12, tummy is still expanding and I get slight little aching feelings in my abdomen which I put down to growing pains, still saying a little prayer for our unborn bub and Evelyn, bub's big sister kisses and cuddles my tummy every night before bed and says goodnight to Shimey. Ultrasound - Friday, February 09, 2007 Baby seemed healthy although not much can be seen it is only six weeks, saw very quickly a tiny little heartbeat.

Gav & I have been trying for 2 1/2 years after losing a bub about 4 years ago. Now I have finally fallen pregnant again, we are hoping and praying we get through this with a healthy Bub at the end. Obviously Hubby would love a little boy but does not really care as long as we get a little bundle at the end. After trying for so long I rang my partners mobile straight away and told him, we did it, "I'm pregnant", you could hear the excitement in his voice, I told home he could tell his mate he was with but to try and keep a secret for a while, He Yahoo'd and told his mate he finally did it, But he still worries about everything being alright.

7th March 2007 I am 9 weeks 5 days, morning sickness has been pretty quick in the morning not suffering too much, my belly is starting to poke out a bit, clothes are getting tighter. Feeling anxious about waiting till the 12th week and also waiting for my first doctors appointment due to losing a bub previously feeling very unsure and scared at this point, I have even resorted to saying a little pray at night. Took my first milestone photo of my tummy yesterday, my daughter took it, makes her feel a part of it and Dad measured my belly against the Wall, so far things are great every symptom is worth it just knowing it means there is a bub still growing healthy in there. 13th March 2007 Counting down to the big number 11 and then the one I have been waiting for 12 weeks, I'm sure I can feel some sort of movement this afternoon as my tummy felt tighter in a particular spot, bit of morning sickness this morning which gave me a bit of releif. I know all this should be subsiding now but I know things seem normal when I'm sick, if I don't feel anthing I grow anxious, anyway only 2 weeks left for my first antenatal appointment, hopefully we will hear the heartbeat, I will definately be asking about it.
