new pictures added to photobook, including growing tummy. not much has changed in the last few days, been sleeping a lot, been eating a lot. not much energy tonight - did receive notice of my first scan... not until july 25, almost 14 weeks along. lame.

...probably not VIP page worthy but in my mind - a GREAT victory. no longer constipated!!! i feel like throwing a party for the cause - terrible, just terrible. other then that not feeling too bad these days, although my sleep is constantly interrupted, and it seems that over being sick i'm now dealing with sporadic and inconvenient gagging. just glad i have a counter to hide behind at work. a little stressed over my first scan - the system here in the u.k. is so different from what i'd be dealing with in canada. apparently i'm to continue waiting for one of two hospitals to get in contact with me, and so apart from waiting there's nothing i can do to quicken the process. at home, i'd have had my appointment arranged from the get go, or possibly even have had it by now. frustrating. - it may sound sort of sad really but in order to avoid a possible devasting revelation, i'm trying to keep my excitement in check until i know everything's okay and i hate putting limits or blockages on my feelings - ESPECIALLY when it comes to something like this. suppose this is one way of dealing with my nerves (although, i'd be a liar if i were to say i've been completely prevented from all things baby). hope everyone is doing well and feeling alright - symptoms do fade, slowly, as i'm starting to see.

i'm canadian but i live and work in scotland, future hubs is from south america with EU nationality and we met in spain 9 months ago. baby wasn't planned - it was a surprise, but not a shock... and a happy surprise at that. we are now pacing along at 8w 6d and all the lovely horror stories they tell you about pregnancy have absolutely come true. i had complete visions of being immune to morning sickness and bad skin - y'know the glowing mommy to be in all her glory, radiant as ever... crap. i will have to settle with acne and gas. so be it, i join you. on the flip side of things i'm sure to be one of the luckiest ladies on earth the way i've been pampered and spoiled thus far, even if hernan is seemingly just as a pregnant and nauseous as i am. so far, so good - but i will be much more relaxed after hitting 12 weeks and experiencing baby's first small screen debut. it's amazing how much you can want something you never expected to have... or how much good you can want for someone you've yet to have the pleasure of meeting.
