An Amazing Day....

***Please don't read this if you are feeling emotional or sensitive about pregnancy at the moment. ***








Yesterday was an amazing day for us. Dean had the day off work, so we slept in and got up, for the first time in about a week I didn't feel sick, which of course I worried about! Since I was feeling well we had breakfast and decided to go and price toilets and ovens! Exciting stuff. As soon as we got in the car I knew that it was a mistake. We managed to look at a few shops and price some ovens (we desperately need a new one, our current gas cook top has explosions when you turn it off!!!) Each time the car stopped I had to dry retch into my bucket.

When we got home I had a little lie down, actually I think I was lying down from 11 - 2! I needed not to worry about being sick because by 11.45 I was vomiting.

At 2 o'clock, I had to empty my bladder and then drink 1L of water between 2 -2.30, I managed doing that, so at 3.00 we set off for the hospital where my scan was. We got there at 3.03!! Yes, the hospital is only 500m away - although I'm not going to deliver at that hospital! I filled out all of the relevant paper work and sat and waited. It seemed like we waited forever, but I don't think we did.

The sonographer was wonderful, she explained she was going to look and my ovaries, tubes and bladder first and then we would get to see baby! She told me that I had ovulated from my left side this cycle!

Finally we got to see that baby, as soon as she got to the sack area I knew was I was looking at and I could see a heartbeat straight away! I was all teary and Dean jumped up out of his chair to get closer!!! It was the most wonderful and perfect thing I've ever ever seen.

Bubs was measuring at 5w5d, she said they can be up to 3 days out because it's so hard to measure when they are so tiny. Based on a number of factors, we know that I'm a bit further along that that so we split the difference and decided on a EDD of 2nd of September 2009. Our little ones heart rate was 115bpm.

Anyway without further a-do, I present, our little baby....


Now a word on the pregnancy.....

I've been vomiting at least twice a day, but it's a wonderful reminder about what is happening inside my body. So I'm not in a position to complain about it! Although my body hasn't changed that much I'm really loving my body these days, in is really quite bizarre.
