____________ Hola amigas :) ______________

I'm red-head Kelly, a first timer, and am 11 weeks and a few days along this joyful little journey, due on the 28th of September. I'm from Australia and have been married to Ernesto for 5 years now and we live in Spain. We have always loved the idea of starting a family and decided to take the plunge last Christmas and soon after I missed my first period. I really can't complain about MS, headaches etc though I knew even before peeing on the stick that I was preggers for the sore boobs, no getting out of that one.

I am doing my PhD in soil science and am heading into my last year, though with the arrival of little bean coming along then I'll be taking all of this calmly. I've been told by workmates before that finishing your PhD is like giving birth, so I'll be able to check first-hand on that one.

This web site is fantastic, I'm loving being able to read about all your stories and its nice to feel part of a community of people in the same boat, especially at the moment cause I'm pre-12 weeks and haven't told anyone yet (other than direct family). I'm someone who is always laughing, happy go lucky, and so this site proves to be good entertainment, things that you would never dream of you hear them now and can relate to them, so its lots of fun.

Take care everyone and see you around...

The day little bean was made (TMI!!!)

Friday 14h of March

I ate half a kilo of strawberries today, wasn't my intention but they were yum :)

Sunday 16th of March

Saw the Sunday afternoon movies on the tele, "Mother in Law" with Jane Fonda and had a lil sob followed by "Green Card" and cried til I ran out of breath when he got deported....gee that was rough! Feeling OK these days, a bit tired even though I'm sleeping like a champ. I'm finding it hard to watch the entire news, I can't take so much violence. Some poor dude got thrown about by a bull so that channel got zapped (idiot him for showing off and entering in the bull ring I might add).

Wednesday 19th of March

I think its time to start telling people that I'm pregnant! In Spain its fathers day today and I left a little present at home for Ernesto to open when he got up. At work, a friend mentioned that she had to go and buy a present for her husband and I spontaneously mentioned that I had left a present for Ernesto this morning and my boss looked at me and said...but he isnt a father....is there something you're not telling us....I didn't know where to hide! They'll all know next week anyway, I'm just excited to tell it to my best buddies first.

Saturday 22th of March (12w 6d)

We started telling friends this weekend and got big hugs, great reactions and happy smiles all-round. One friends comment after breaking it to him was

....well what do we talk about now, anything else is seems so insignificant....

had to laugh at that one!

Monday 24th of March (13w 2d)

Went for an US today and it was an adorable experience, there is a little person inside me!! Bean was moving about alot and posed for the camera. We got to see what bean goes through when I laugh too, the poor little thing gets thrown about by my stomach muscles.

Here are the pics...

Thursday 27th of March (13w 5d)

I just went to tennis class and told them that I am pregnant and I got sent home! They were shocked when they realised I've been playing all this time. My Dr's know about it and say that the body adjusts, though I'll ask them again.

Wednesday 2nd of April (14w 4d)

So today is Wednesday and I have a cold, this is like Chinese torture cause I can't take anything for it. This weekend we're out and about on tour with Ernesto's band which will be lots if fun, I just hope I'm feeling better by then.

Sunday 13th of April (16w 1d)

Went for an US today with my friend, we did our very best to try and determine whether its a boy or a girl, at the moment we think it could be a girl, though we have to wait a little more to be able to confirm.

I uploaded a few short videos....

___ 16w 4d ____________ 18w 3d_________ 20w 4d

Saturday 3rd of May (18w 6d)

Well, moving right along now, tomorrow we head into week 19. I've been feeling good, I definately look pregnant now and just recently people have been braving to ask me if I am. Getting some maternity clothing is becoming an issue, I'd better get into that one soon. We're looking forward to the next US in a couple of weeks to know the sex. Haven't conciously felt and kicks yet, looking forward to that.

Wednesday 14th of May (20w 4d)

Still no kicks, and still looking forward to the next ultrasound :)

ahhhh! Cute!

jennysfirst - Tuesday, 13 May
Hey thanks! The belly is out and proud- I look a lot larger than the pictures show- I think once I minimize the photos on the page I shrink by belly or something...hehe! You will have to let me know when you post new ones.
The ultrasound was so much fun- but I spent the whole time in shock because of her sex! I can't wait to go back. We have our hour long ultrasound this friday as well to make sure that the heart etc. is developing as it should. I can't wait to see her again. I wish I had one of those machines at home.
I'm not sure why I thought it was a boy- I just had that feeling. My husband really wanted a boy- so it might of been that I was hoping it was a boy for him (not sure). He is just as happy though and is already in protective father mode talking about how she cannot date and must go to university etc. I think it is funny. He will be a great dad and will turn to mush when he meets her- I know it.
Anyhow, all the best- chat soon xx

JennysFirst - Monday, 12 May
hey yes it's a girl! I totally thought it was a boy- so I was wrong! I am really happy though, but my husband and I had to get over the shock because we were so convinced.
Anyhow, she didn't move a lot fo me during the US and I rarely feel her- so I don't think she is very active yet. Are you feeling anything yet? Check out my US pics- I updated and my new belly pic too! :) hope you are well!

kellyp - Saturday, 10 May
Not bad thanks just getting excited about my scan on wednesday!! how about you?

aussiegirl - Saturday, 10 May
HEY THERE, I FINALLY GET A CHANCE TO WRITE, THINGS HAVE BEEN GREAT BUT BUSY. YOU ARE DEFINITELY LOOKING PREGNANT, LOL!!!! YOUR BELLY LOOKS REALLY CUTE. I CANT BELIEVE YOU ARE HALFWAY THROUGH YOUR PREGNANCY. ARE YOU GOING TO FIND OUT WHAT YOU ARE HAVING? HAVE YOU FELT THE BABY MOVE YET? IT'S AMAZING WHEN YOU FEEL THE FIRST MOVEMENTS. ZOYA IS 8 WEEKS OLD ON TUESDAY AND SHE SMILED AT ME FOR THE FIRST TIME THIS WEEK, IT WAS AMAZING. ANYWAY KEEP IN TOUCH, HUGS KINGA

jennysfirst - Friday, 9 May
I suspect that the little bub is kicking you as well...I think that I was feeling kicks long before I realized it. For me, the kicks are so faint and few and far between that it's hard for me to recognize them sometimes. I think that I was expecting full force kicks to be happening. Instead, for me, the kicks feel like gas bubbles (without the gas)- kinda like a tiny little bubble popping inside or like a tiny flick of the finger from the inside but it is so gentle and not at all what I was expecting.

jennysfirst - Thursday, 8 May
Hello Kelly,
Sorry I have taken so long to reply- I can't seem to keep up lately. I didn't even have time to take a 19 week belly photo yet- so I am going to make sure I take the 20 week one this weekend. I will post it as well! :) People are finally starting to comment about the belly- so now I know that I definitely look preggers and not just chubby! :) As for kicks- I am feeling them more often now- but they are really light and hardly noticeable!I really have to pay attention. I feel it randomly around 5-10 times a day. I can't wait until they are strong and more frequent. Have you felt anything yet? I also hate laying on my stomach because it feels really weird- but I do it on purpose to get the little one to kick me.
I am supposed to have my hour US on the 16th and then find out if it is a boy or a girl from my doctor on the 26th. I can't wait that long anymore- so I decided to pay for a 3D ultrasound this weekend and will be going out of town to find out. I really hope that the baby cooperates. I am really excited and think that it is a perfect early mother's day gift for myself. Anyhow, how are you feeling- anything new?

treacle - Monday, 5 May
Yeah i cant believe how much i wanna be kicked, it sounds so silly! good luck with everything and hope youre feeling ok.

sharra - Sunday, 4 May
Very good. Mothers intuion is strong. I have been feeling little pokes here and there. Not too many this week. I am sooooooooo hungry though. I think I am carrying a girl also,due to heart rate and carrying high. I know all old wives tales, we will see on Monday.
Feeling very good and I will post the babys sex. Take care and I am sending positive energy your way.

cahlika - Sunday, 4 May
I'm so glad I found this site also... helps me out heaps! I do notice the inches, moms, gallons, etc though as well. I'm in Sth Brisbane right now but originally from vic.
Yup number 3, but number 1 for Daddy. Brave or stupid, I can't tell LOL
We found out the sex last monday but just keeping it to ourselves for now, but yes, we hoped from day 1 for a boy. I feel flick-like kicks but not overly regularly yet.
So Spain huh.. did work take you there? Did you meet your hubby there?
Talk soon, Carly

jennysfirst - Friday, 2 May
Sorry to hear about your fight with the waiter and the crazy emotions. Mine have been all over the place lately as well and I have no patience for some of my students. I get so angry sometimes and I have to really force myself to take a step back. I have been crying a lot more lately as well---- I hope it doesn't get worse! :) Hope you had a good day regardless!

sharra - Friday, 2 May
Hey, there! sorry to be a bearer of bad news, it just dosen't get any better with your emotions until way after baby is born. But you learn to let them pass after having the many breakdowns. Don't worry, let them happen, it is all part of the wonderful process.
About two months after you give birth, you go back to your regular self, but you are then more sensitive to your emotions. It is had to explain, but I think it has to do with learning to become more atuned, esp. becoming a mom. Surrender to them, they only make you stronger. Take care.
PS That must have been one cup of good tea! :)

cahlika - Friday, 2 May
Hey just wanted to say I'm an emotional nutcase right now too. I thought it would stop also but it's not and it's sending me mad!! LOL

I love your pics :)

jennysfirst - Thursday, 1 May
Thanks! I have grown again this week- I will post after I take the photo, although we are visiting family this weekend (out of town) so I will be busy!!! By travelling, do you mean how am I getting from here to there? Because I am not going anywhere on vacation- though I wish I were!!!
Anyhow, glad to hear that you are settling in the house- hope you get your internet soon!
I think that I have finally started to feel the baby giving me light little kicks at night when I lay in bed. It usually happens when I lay on my stomach. The baby is telling me to get off of him/her. I am guessing they are kicks but they are so light that I have to really concentrate and breath really lightly. You should try that as well. I can't wait to feel real kicks and movement throughout the day. Anyhow, have you felt anythign yet? xx

manda-may - Tuesday, 29 April
Gosh, you poor thing going through all that house moving!! I am on school holidays at the moment, so is coming in quite handy for finding out stuff that I need to claim for or do when I have the babies, and also trying to organise some insulation and heating for the house. Saw midwife yesterday, and she said I measure at 24 weeks now (I am 18 weeks today!!) - goes to show what having twins will do. Yes, Justin is a red head too! Am hoping there is a little ginger baby in there, maybe a brunette too! We shall see. Hope you are well. xx

manda-may - Friday, 25 April
Hey there, thanks for your comment on my page! Nice to know it's not just me who thinks they are bigger at night time - I wonder what the scientific reason is??!!! :-) I have really enjoyed reading your VIP page. Just love your first scan photos! They are sooooo cute. Most of our ones were not of the twins together, or were of the spine, etc. Very boring - but can't wait till the next one. Just love to see them bouncing around and kicking each other!! :-) A.

JennysFirst - Tuesday, 22 April
I love how you call me skinny- cause I have always had a little tummy- so it makes me feel good! hehe! Anyhow, no more little tummy for me, but I love it- now I have an excuse for the round belly! Yours looks tiny as well- all cute and round! :)
That is so sweet about the new appt. It must be such a nice feeling and such a fresh start. Have fun and don't do too much!!! :)

JennysFirst - Monday, 21 April
Thanks for the info. I didn't save the web page to host the picture- so I was lost. It is now in my favs- thanks!
I have posted an updated pic of the belly! :) No kicks or any feelings yet- I can hardly wait!!! You? I will let you know as soon as I do and you do the same! :) Congratulations on the new nest- I am so happy for you!!! :)

JennysFirst - Monday, 21 April
Hey, that is crazy that you have so much on your plate but it will all be worth it later! :) My husband and I are also planning on moving but not until next year. We have a big enough house right now, but just want to "upgrade". I cannot figure out how to post pictures directly to the site. There used to be a tutorial- and I cannot find it to post pics. Could you explain how you are doing it? Isn't there a website that we should go to in order to make the photo into a URL link? I have wasted so much time trying to figure it out and I give up for now.
That is so funny about the kick- aren't men so cute when it comes to things like that. It makes me laugh.
Anyhow, off for now...let me know if you can explain the photo thing? Thanks :)

JennysFirst - Friday, 18 April
cute belly photo! I will be posting more this weekend! :) Our bellies are about the same. I still have not felt baby move yet and CAN'T wait!!! Where did you buy that bra by the way (or the brand)- it looks really comfortable! :)

aussiegirl - Thursday, 17 April
HEY THERE GIRL, HOW ARE THINGS. I LOVE YOUR U/S PHOTOS, BABY LOOKS SO CUTE. I'VE BEEN REALLY BUSY BEING A NEW MUMMY. IT'S AMAZING HOW A LITTLE BABY CAN TAKE UP SO MUCH OF YOUR TIME. BUT I'M LOVING EVERY MINUTE OF IT AND SO IS PETER. HOW ARE YOU FEELING ? I MISS BEING PREGNANT AS STRANGE AS THAT MAY SOUND, LOL !!!! SO PLEASE ENJOY THIS SPECIAL TIME IN YOUR LIFE CAUSE IT WILL BE OVER BEFORE YOU KNOW IT. HUGS KINGA

kellyp - Thursday, 17 April

I am big for the stage i am at and was only a size 10 before so not sure why but i love it! Showing off my baby bump is great! How are you feeling?
Also the sneezing thing i also spoke to my midwife about yesterday.

Peanuts-Mom - Wednesday, 16 April
Yeah it was a very exciting experience to have the sex confirmed. Knowing who is actually growing inside of me has allowed me to place an identity on him, and I love him even more now (if that is at all possible).
Well maybe you are having a lil princess, which is very exciting I am sure… but only a month again to know for certain. I am sure that your doc will be able to tell by end of may. You just need to keep telling the baby to position itself right when its time for the u/s.
I have also been a lucky pregnant also… My first few months I only suffered with headaches, tiredness and slight mood swings, and now for the last month of so, I have been feeling great. I am no longer knocking out by 8:00pm and snapping like a snapper fish. I feel more energized and that makes me very happy. Also started back exercising which seems to be helping a lot – yoga twice a week and prenatal aerobics and toning twice a week.
Are you doing any form of exercise?
Glad to hear that you have had a pretty easy going time, and that the tiredness has subsided, because I know how horrible that can be!

jennysfirst - Tuesday, 15 April
I love your videos- so cute! I am going to see if the lady will let us do the same when I go. I have a feeling the answer will be no- but I am going to bring the camera in case there is a chance. How special for you to have- so cool!
I have started with the yoga and find it helps a bit. I am also going to force my butt to walk more often because I know that exercise is good for both the baby and myself. I am feeling a bit more energy lately which is good- but I am still tired all of the time. I have let myself have a few coffees over the week however, and I know that is helping with the energy. I am trying not to consume too much caffeine- but it is hard when I am feeling so tired and am craving it! :)
Anyhow, most things in moderation should be ok...
I have a doctors appt. on thursday- just a basic check up- I'm going to talk with him about the coffee issue.
Good to hear that you are still feeling great and getting some energy back.
Again- I love your us videos!!!

Tonya4 - Tuesday, 15 April
your pictures are awsome!!!!!
