Scan is booked!

Tuesday - 2nd October - 8:30am. I will be 7w 3d.

At 7am I am to start drinking 1ltr of water, and finish it by 7:30am - then hold it! We made it an early app. so Ray can go to work afterwards, and less waiting - I hate when you have an app. in the afternoon - I spend all morning stressing LOL.

So hoping and praying all is well and we see a gestational sac in the right place, and a foetal pole with heartbeat!

Still sick - sometimes not so bad - other times very bad. No other pregnancy related news I don't think.

Urghhhhh!

I feel so fat, frumpy, ugly, bloated, exhausted, sick - just totally yucky! Ahhhh the joys of pregnancy! LOL.

Thought that Charlotte should...

Be the one to share our news! I bought an iron on transfer, and a white t-shirt, and thought that I might put this on Miss C when we finally announce that we are expecting! Didn't transfer as well as I hoped, but next time I do a transfer I will know better!



Will see my doc next week to get a referal for an early scan - not long now! I am 6 weeks on Saturday! (actually it's after midnight, so tomorrow!)

On that note, off to bed!

Last pregnancy test...

Had one last test in my cupboard, so thought I may as well use it!



Hmmm sure it's positive? LOL.

Still can't believe it! I guess once I have the first ultrasound it will seem a little more real. Or maybe once I start feeling something moving around in there LOL.

As excited as I am to be expecting another, there is part of me that feels sad for Charlotte. I feel bad that she won't have 100% of my attention. I feel bad that there are times when she will want something, and I won't be able to get it for her, or she will have to wait until I tend to the new bub.

Still feeling yucky. And I don't know if this is a pregnancy thing, or a fat thing LOL But I feel quite bloated and uncomfortable in my tummy.

It was funny today - Ray had the day off for an appointment, and we went to visit his parents. We spent most of the time talking about everyone's health problems - then his Mum turns to me and said 'well it's lucky that you are healthy and have no complaints'. I wanted to say, 'well I feel quite ill, and will be doing alot of complaining in the next 8 months' LOL. But we won't tell them until after the first ultrasound.

Also I think it was yesterday, I was telling Mum about Ray's parents health problems etc, and she said 'is there any good news' - hmmmmmm well Mum I'M PREGNANT! But again, couldn't say anything - I just said 'Charlotte is always good news' LOL.

Still going well - as far as I know!

Still have the all day nausea. Had a bad time last night when cooking dinner - it's the worst I have felt so far. I am not sure whether it was the fatty smell, or an empty tummy - but it wasn't nice!

Exhausted? UHUH! Crikey I get tired easily! And I seem to be sucking in the air all the time, and the smallest things will make be breathless - I hope this is just a pregnancy symptom, and nothing else! I do remember the exhaustion and tiredness from last pregnancy though.

Can't wait to tell everyone! I want to tell everyone I see, I actually told the guy who installed my dishwasher the other day LOL. I did tell my brother Garrett - so hoping he can keep the secret for a little longer. Everytime I talk to Mum and Dad on the phone, I am SO tempted to tell them! And there have now been 2 different times since my BFP, that Ray has had someone say 'time to think about a second bub' - he just replies 'yeah' while thinking - 'done' LOL.

One of my lovely EB friends, Susan, is due the day before me! I can't believe it, and am so excited! It will be great to share our pregnancy joys and problems and complaints! LOL.

Anyway, better get some sleep - I need it more than ever!

First Response:



Pregnancy Dreams! I had forgotten about these! They started a couple of nights ago - the first dream was horrible, I had a miscarriage and was devestated. The second dream that night - I dreamt I had quads (I think that's the right word!) 4 babies! Well, that was pretty horrible too! Hahahaha. But no, they were gorgeous - and 2 were boys with curly red hair!

Nausea - This started straight after ovulation - as usual - just the progesterone. But has gotten a little worse since my BFP. It is all day!!!

Cravings - I don't know if these can start this early - or if it's in my head! But I have really wanted icy drinks! Like a frozen raspberry at Maccas! And the last few days at lunch time, all I can think of that I want is meat and veges - crazy!

Tiredness - This seems to have started already! At 9pm tonight I just couldn't stop yawning - I felt like I could have gone to sleep straight away! And my usual bed time is 11:30pm or later. When pregnant with Charlotte - the tiredness and sickness was horrible - I still remember having day naps under the air conditioner (heat made the sickness work)! I don't see that happening this time! LOL

Hospital appointment - Must call and book in! Aparently they have put the appointments back alot more! With Charlotte, my first app. was 15 weeks - this time my Doc said will be later - more like 20+ weeks! But I don't mind - I hated hospital appointments! Terrible parking, waiting for aaaaages, then see a midwife for 5 minutes and you are out again!

Still pregnant! 4 Weeks today!

At the moment I am feeling very sick, and very tired, so heading to bed as soon as this is posted! Feel a tad crampy which always scares me!

Lines getting stronger!

Today I felt sick, and tired! And am starting to remember what my last pregnancy was like! Uh oh! LOL.

Blood test results tomorrow!

Worry worry worry!

Feeling bloated and a bit crampy tonight - not a nice feeling - has me freaking out a bit I must say. So just hope all is well.

Saw my Doc this morning. I just gave her a funny look when I walked in and she said 'here for a pregnancy test' and I reached for the tests I had done and she said 'oh, no, you've done them' with smirk on her face! I said 'I have done 6 different brands' and she said 'that's a bit excessive isn't it' - I said 'really, you think so?' LOL. She often laughs at me! Big meany she is. So she tried to work out when I was due and how far along I was so I told her myself. Then she started to type up the blood test form, so I asked for a quantitive - and that was ok. She also ordered a stack of other tests - they took about 6 or 7 vials I think! So anyway - am going back on Friday morning for the results. Looking forward to seeing what my HCG level is.

Oh, and RE: weight - I am going to try and lose some before my first hospital appointment, which will probably be around 15 weeks I guess. I am terrified of saying my current weight out loud! Urghhh!

More HPTs this morning!

All positive!









I am due 17th May - give or take a couple of weeks! LOL.

Sickness has already started - yay - *she says sarcastically*

More positive tests...

Have now done 6 different brands, and all have had faint lines!

Tested this morning...

The HPT showed a:







Arghhhhhhh! Woooohoooooooo! Noooooooo! Yipeeeeeee!
Mixed emotions alright! LOL

New Cycle!

Thought it was about time I updated this blog!

Had a very long and VERY heavy AF - it was terrible, but I guess expected after a cycle that long!

CD 27 - Noticed some EWCM and OPK started to darken a little.

CD 29 - Strong +OPK and have had alot of O pain.

CD 32 - Got my coverline this morning! Yay!

So yep - ovulated again! Woohoo! And pretty early in my cycle too! Yay! Everything felt more 'right' this time. Strong OPKs, strong O pain - but not much CM at all, which had me a little worried! And have had more progesterone type signs IYKWIM. Nausea, sore nipples etc.

Tomorrows temp will basically tell me what is happening:

Tomorrow on my pregnancy cycle, my temp jumped up, and I got a +HPT at 3pm.

Tonight last cycle I started spotting, and tomorrow my temp dropped and AF was well and truly here.

Having said that - I may just have a longer LP this time *fingers crossed* longer than 10 days! And AF will arrive in a couple of days.

Not feeling very positive - as I type, I feel like AF has already arrived - hmm will soon find out.

I will be upset if AF is here, but also - it isn't quite the right time for us to have another bub just yet. So STILL having mixed emotions about TTC#2!
