Happy New Year!!!

Welcome to 2009!

First of all let me say that I hope that 2009 is a wonderful year for each and everyone of you. May all your dreams come true.

Last night we went to the Irish Club to see our friend Bruce play in his band. It was a fun night, even though I was falling asleep by about 7.30!! I'm sure I was a dead give away as the pregnant lady since I was drinking soda water with lime all night like! I don't even like soda water but water and soda water is all I can seem to fathom drinking at the moment. I had my daily vegie juice this morning and had to make an emergency drip into the bathroom!

A word on the pregnancy:
This morning I had to run to the toilet for the first time! I thought I was going to vomit on the Christmas Tree! I didn't actually vomit but the simple act of just dry retching made me feel slightly better! I'm sure my perspective on this 'morning' sickness is so very different to a lot of the fertiles out there, when I stood up from being hung over the toilet bowl I smiled to Dean and said, this is great!

I'm 5w3d today (or there abouts) and this is the time when I started spotting and bleeding with the first pregnancy, so I'm feeling quite happy and relaxed that none of that is happening right now.

I need to eat snacks regularly, if I don't I start to feel seedy again, so far Anzac Bars have become my friend.

We have our first doctors visit tomorrow and I will be asking for a scan to put my mind at ease, hopefully we will be able to have it done before we go away. I'd love to see our little baby.
