13 weeks.

Where are these weeks flying too?!
At this rate Christmas will be upon us far to quickly. We're almost into September. Yikes.

In just 189 days it will be my due date. Now I know that doesn't mean the baby will defiantly make an appearance then as it could be sooner or later then that date. It just seems crazy the days keep floating by and times getting shorter and shorter as my baby bakes more.

In just SEVEN WEEKS we will know if we are team Pink or Blue! I am sure we're going to be adding another Little Princess to our little family and I am perfectly happy with that. After all it took to just get pregnant I don't care what sex the baby is.
The only reason we are finding out gender is so we know if we have to keep Mia's old baby clothes or not.
Also in eight weeks I will have a four year old. That scares me. How can my baby girl be nearly four years old?! It really doesn't seem that long ago that I was pregnant with Mia. Shes turning into this wonderful little girl with such an amazing little personality who I am so proud of.
She will come and sit on my lap and place her little hand on my stomach and talk to the baby, kiss the baby and tell me what shes going to do when the baby is born. One day she will make a great mummy her self.

As for me? I don't feel that sick anymore. Every now and then I feel really bad but in the past few weeks it has calmed down so much. One thing that doesn't seem to be subsiding is the tiredness. I go from feeling fine to needing a nap almost instantly and it doesn't matter how much or little sleep I get, I could always do with a bit more! As for food... I LOVE vinegar covering my food. I also love lemony and orange foods that are a bit tangy. My mouth is watering just thinking about it.
I also feel like my belly is starting to change shape. I cant wait to look pregnant!

12 weeks.

Can you believe it? Because I certainly cant!
The thought of getting this far makes me want to cry (Happy tears obviously!)

I have hit that magical 12 weeks of pregnancy. Didn't think I would be pregnant again let alone see any of the magical milestones that come along with it.
I am cherishing every moment of this pregnancy, even the not so great bits!
The nausea is easing up and I'm not feeling as tired. I still have odd moments we're I am feeling so rotten I just want to curl up and sleep. I've had the odd bit of heartburn but nothing I cant handle.

Anyway! baby is the size of a plum this week. These fruits are quickly getting bigger and bigger. Just eight weeks ago this baby was the size of a poppyseed. Baby should also be about 5cms tall. So small and magical.

Mia is so in love with the scan picture still. It really does melt my heart as she is so in love already. Every time she see's it on the mantel piece she gets excited and re-tells me how we got the picture and that the baby was sucking its hand. My little girl is going to be the best big sister in the world.

I heard some horrible news this week that in the hospital where I will give birth, your own children unless they are over 10 years old are not aloud to visit. I was really upset when I found this out, As for me it was important that I could still see Mia when it was visiting and that she could form a bond right away. Now this idea has been shattered me and Gary, Have both decided that if Mia cant come to the hospital to see the baby as we want her to be the first to see him/her then no one can come up to the hospital.
This is also giving me the extra push I will need to go for my VBAC as if I get that and everything goes smooth I could be in and out in 6 short hours.

10 weeks 4 days.

I cant beleive we're in double digits already! Just two a bit more weeks to go till i pass the first trimester. It also means, or so i hope that I will start to feel somewhat more human again.
Today was a big day for our little family. We got to see our little poppyseed. I have wanted this day to come more then anything so I could make sure poppyseed was growing nice and fine. Last night I was so nervous, my stomach was doing summersalts.

This morning when I woke, I wasnt too bad. It wasnt until we set off for the hospital that I started to worry again. I was scared there would be nothing there or if there was something would be wrong. After all we went through I just couldnt see this being straight forward.

When we went into the U/S room she turned the monitor away so the ultra sound tech could make sure everything was okay first. Mia was asking lots of questions at this point. Wanting to know what the gel was being put on mummy for, what the wand was for etc. The tech was lovely and was explaning to her what she was doing. After a couple of minutes the monitor was turned around and I got to see our miracal baby - our poppyseed for the first time. My heart started racing and tears filled my eyes. I couldnt help it. I cried. I was overcome with five thousand diffrent emotions at once.

Our baby at 10 weeks 4 days.

Our due date is March the first on notes and what the dr's go by, but according to the ultrasound tech she said the baby is measuring 10 weeks 3 days. Its only one day so its not a big thing to be worried about.

After the ultra sound I was given a date for my 20 week scan - October 19th (8 days before Mia's 4th Birthday!), Was also given a date for my glucose tolorrence test - December 13th (I will be 28 weeks then) and also a date to come back and see the consultant to discuss my labouring wishes- 6th Febuary.

I have also felt very bloated these past few weeks, I took a belly picture 4 days ago when I was 10 wks exactly. I am feeling pretty massive as the clothes I shrunk into are starting not to fit me around my waist. I feel like I am wearing clothes that make me look like a tramp. Roll on pay day and I am getting some new clothes I can feel comftable in again!!

My baby bump at 10 weeks.
