It's been a while....a very long while....

And let me explain why.

When I got pregnant I was over the moon, I was thrilled beyond words. We both were. However I found it really really hard that while I was experiencing such joy others were going through so much pain and turmoil still facing the IF journey. Not just blog readers but dear friends who I know and love. I also had mixed emotions about this baby. While I was happy I was pregnant, I was still so angry, so hurt about the losses of the other two babies. In the back of my mind I wanted Baby Woggie more than I wanted this baby, and that felt wrong, so very very wrong. It took me a long time to overcome that guilt and to fall in love with the little one I am now growing inside me.

So let me give you a run down on the last 4 months!!!

I'm now only 5 and a half weeks away from having this baby!!! Can you beleive it?? I can't!

I threw up consistency until 18 weeks pregnant, and then a few more times after that!! Then at 28 weeks I got diagnosed with GD (Gestational Diabetes) which has made my life somewhat difficult in the last 6 weeks. My sugar levels are not being controlled that well and there is talk of me going on insulin, but when I get to the appointment to go on insulin somehow my body has redemed it's self and given me a few days of great levels. However not in the last week. There has been no last minute redemption thus far.

Because of the GD we had to have a health and wellbeing scan of our amazing little baby. It (we don't know if it is a girl or a boy) is just so so cute. Infact I couldn't be more in love. However our baby is on the large side. It should be measuring about 2.4kgs at this point and is currently measuring 3kgs. Which makes me sad, because I hate that my body is making my baby grow too much than is healthy.

Anyway, enough chatter from me.

Some pictures.
