For the last couple of weeks I’ve been feeling little flutters and pops in my belly. Our little Sticky is making his/her presence felt and it’s so cute. I’ve not really had a big kick yet, but I love the little flutters and pops. It feels like little butterflies in my tummy. I can’t wait for K to feel them too. I’m really …
So I thought it was about time I shared some baby bump pics. It’s only really been in the last few weeks that I’ve popped out. I’m feeling lots of beautiful flutters and popcorn in my belly when Sticky moves! A couple of nights ago I was relaxing on the couch. Our dog had her head resting on my tummy, fast asleep, when Sticky decided …
So even though I feel a million times better than I did in the first trimester, this second trimester has brought with it really bad sinus and frequent sneezing. When I say frequent sneezing, I mean probably about 10-20 sneezing fits every day, with each fit having about 10-20 sneezes! A whole lot of sneezing! I wonder if our Sticky will recognise me …
It was almost like someone flicked a switch right on 14 weeks. No more nausea and fatigue is minimal, I almost feel normal again. I even had a night out with the girls on the weekend at a great restaurant in the city. We didn’t get home until midnight, which is a very late night for me considering I’ve mostly been going to bed around 8.30pm. …
So much excitement in our household at the moment and so much happening. I’m now 14.5 weeks and am starting to get a little baby bump and I’m now anxiously awaiting that first flutter of movement. We have just arrived back from a bit of a road trip to Melbourne, where we visited my best friend, who is 18 weeks pregnant. We have been friends …
Last week I had a quick visit to my GP as she had reminded me, when she rang through with my NT results, that I should get the flu job! We are just about to head into winter and I guess you can say the flu season is just beginning. Australia bases it’s flu jab on what’s happening around the world, mostly in Europe and America, and this year …
I was so nervous going into the hospital for my scan. K kept saying “breathe girl, breathe”! I was so nervous I was beginning to sweat! Our Sonographer was named Christopher and he was lovely. Before doing the scan he sat me down on the bed and explained the whole process and how the results are analysed. Basically someone of my age (38) …
To celebrate reaching 12 weeks, I decided to give the blog a bit of a make-over. What do you think? I’ve had one of those days! You know the ones that just have a horrible domino effect, starting with one disaster and ending with another. I’m exaggerating of course when I say it’s been one disaster after another. Really it’s …
Even though I feel sick most of the day, I’m falling asleep by 7.30pm and my boobs have gone up a bra size, I still find it hard to believe that I’m pregnant. I look at the little bump that is appearing and wonder if it’s just fat, my imagination or that it really is a little baby growing inside me. I find it hard to believe in just …
This is a very cool (short) video of the development of your baby from the inside out during pregnancy. Very cool! 00
Only one more week, till that 12 week milestone! although after 12 weeks, I don’t think the worry will dissipate. I have my NT scan booked in for Tuesday next week (12 weeks, 1 day) and I’m quite nervous about it. I’ve had the blood test already, which of course with my veins, was horrendous as the nurse couldn’t get the …
So I’ve been a bit slack on the blog posts lately! Sorry about that! But I’m still here and our sticky bean is still growing strong. I have an appointment with a local doctor today to try and get things happening with booking in my 12 week scan etc. Quite a few people know, although we aren’t officially making any announcements …
I watched this video today for the first time. It’s amazing! The words are so powerful and resonated with me so much that I just can’t stop thinking about it. It reminded me of the horror of my school life. The bullying I endured throughout my school years. From a very young age I thought I was a freak. I was a loner at school, very shy …
This morning I had another scan (my third) to check the growth of our little sticky bean and to get a more accurate due date. It’s little heart has increased to 170bmp, which is fabulous, and I even got to hear it this time! What an awesome sound that is! Our little “Sticky” is still a week behind (well 6 days). So it’s been …
Today I had an appointment with my GP. I’ve had the same GP for about 15 years and she is a saint. It’s very hard to find a good doctor in Sydney and I reckon she is the best! I’m even willing to make the 2 hour trip to Sydney to visit her for a 15 minute appointment. Although today’s appointment was not 15 minutes, it was more …
