Have been thinking...

It is going to be a shock to see a baby at the ultrasound on Monday! For 2 reasons:

1. I am so worried that they are going to say "sorry there is no baby/something wrong with baby" etc. I just don't feel as sick as I was with Charlotte (which can be perfectly normal, but I still worry), don't have the strong food cravings, aversions (is that the word?) etc.

2. There has been so much going on lately, and I am so busy with Charlotte, I don't think about this pregnancy as much as I did with Charlotte. And everyone around me seems to have forgotten about this pregnancy. And by this time with Miss C, we had laybyed a cot, changetable etc, started buying a few things. I don't have to do all of that this time.

I just can't wait for that ultrasound. I just can't wait to feel movements! I can't wait to be able to use the doppler! I can't wait to really FEEL pregnant!

I had the blood test for the NT scan today. Ultrasound is at 9:00am on Monday morning - no preperation Woohooo! No uncomfortable full bladder!

Quick update

Thought I had better add a quick update! Feeling a little worried lately - I don't feel as sick or tired as I was with Charlotte - so looking forward to the next ultrasound to make sure everything is ok. Will be glad to get past the 'magic 12 weeks'. I sure am peeing alot more than usual, so I guess that is a pretty good pregnancy symptom! LOL. I think I am also getting a little pregnancy podge from my uterus pushing the fat up and out LOL. Other than that, nothing else to report...

Oh, I have now told my Mum and Dad, and some other family and friends. And have just shared the news on Charlotte's blog.

Time is flying!

In 3 short weeks I will be having the 12 week ultrasound! Already! Before I know it I will be in labour LOL.

Still a bit sick, tired, low energy - I think I may have low blood pressure again, as I have had a few dizzy spells after getting up too quickly.

Don't really have any other news. Just counting down the days until we can tell my people!

We have a heartbeat!

All is well! By my ovulation date, I should have been 7w 3d, and bub is measuring 7w 2d so just perfect! Saw the heart flickering away on the screen! The picture wasn't very clear, as the sonographer only did an abdominal scan - but he could see enough to measure bub. These are the details on the report:

A single live embryo is present within an intra-uterine gestational sac. Normal foetal heart motion is seen at 158bpm.

The crown rump length is 1.09cm consistent with 7 weeks and 2 days gestation.

No bleeding is seen around the sac.

The right ovary appears normal. The left ovary contains a 3cm cyst, most likely of corpus luteal origin.

We went straight from the scan to Ray's Mum and told her, his sister and his niece. Then told his Dad tonight - so there's only a few to tell now from his family. But just have to wait another 13 days to tell my people (if we can still go).

Ahhhh can relax a little now *phew*. Have the 12 week ultrasound coming up at the end of this month too!

Sooo scared!

Ultrasound in the morning!

I am scared of showing my big gut, I am scared of the transvaginal scan, I am scared of not seeing a sac in there, I am scared of them telling me bad news.

But I am so excited about, all being well, seeing our bub! Seeing that heart beating. Telling Ray's family our news.

Ugh I feel so sick with nerves already!
