Off we go!

Well I made it! Our first hospital appointment is on Friday this week! I'm kinda nervous. I haven't made it this far since our first pregnancy. Yay! My appointment is at 8:30 in the morning, so it's nice and early. They said I'm going to be there a while. I have to see a midwife, doctor, pathologist and sonographer. So it's going to be a morning filled with waiting. Well, I don't care. I just want a healthy baby and I'll do what ever they throw at me to get that. Oh and if you're wondering, yes, I am still feeling sick. Now it's worst in the afternoons. Ugh, I had a nap yesterday afternoon and when I woke up I felt terrible. Constant feeling of wanting to chuck up. It was awful. I've found myself finding it hard to find things to eat. The thought of most foods make me nauseaus. I've actually been making myself eat wether I want to or not. But, I'm sure it will pass. Although, being as feeling sick makes me feel that things are ok, I don't know if I do want it to pass.
Well fingers and toes are all crossed. I've a feeling this one's a keeper:) Let's hope so. I'm dreaming of pink and blue. I don't care if it's a oy or a girl. I just want a healthy bub.

Oops I did it again:)

Yep, it's true. We're officially pregnant! Again. As from past experiences, I'm not getting my hopes up just yet. But, seeing as I've been feeling sooo crappy and sick and tired and all that, it seems this might be the one. We're really praying for it, and we're not praying people. But, as most of my fb friends know, I have had rather good morning sickness. Good morning sickness you ask? Yep. Because for me, liike so many woman out there, the sicker I am, the better. My first pregnancy I was like this and that was the most viable, but my second, third and fourth, I wasn't sick at all and they all ended early. So, fingers crossed. So much so that I've actually been looking for cloth nappy patterns on the web. My gorgeous mother has offered to make them all for me. But there are so many options it's insane. So, we're going to make a few different types and see what works and what doesn't. This was, we're not wasting money on buying them and then not using them. They aren't cheap but they do end up paying for themselves. So worth it when I see how much people spend on disposibles only to be able to use them once and then just throw them out. Seems like a waste of money to me. But, that's just my opinion, don't shoot me for it.

So I'm 8 weeks this week, tomorrow actually. This is the furthest I've been since my first pregnancy so it's kind of a milestone for us. I should hopefully hear from my OB this week to go in and get my heparin injections sorted out. She also wants to see me every two weeks for scans and bloods etc. So I'm in for a fun filled next 7 months. But, I'll do whatever it takes to be able to look into the eyes of my new baby in November. Oh, did I mention, I'm due November 30th but Ob says because I have Factor 5 I can't go full term so I'll be induced at 38 weeks, which is great, unless I go into labour then which would be even better. So I'll actually be due around the 16th November. Have to clarify that with her yet. So I'm going to post a scan of my little belly blob that I had last week at 7 weeks. Mind you, it's not a very good picture because I had to take a photo of one of the scans. When I had it done and he showed me bubs, the first thing I noticed was the tiny flutter of the heart beating and I just cried. It was such a relief, because as you can well understand if you've read my previous posts, I haven't had a good experience with scans, I was so nervous. But I left with a smile on my face and I felt like a great weight had been lifted off my shoulders. But, it's early days, so like I said earlier, I'm not getting my hopes up too far just yet.

Here is my 7 week belly blob. And the heartbeat is good too!!

been a long time (ok, so it's only been a week or so)

Hi all, Sorry I've been gone for a while. No excuse really. Just been lazy. I keep looking at the computer thinking, Hmmm, I should really update my blog. Well nothing  much has happened between then and now to really brag about. I did start my new job last wednesay. It's not much. I just fold and put away laundry at the old folks home down the road. It's only a few hours a week but it's money. And they pay way above award, so it's all good. Two hours out of my day four days a week isn't a stretch.
Also, I've been feeling unwell for a week or so too. Not like, getting the flu or sick unwell, but, like constantly nauseaus unwell. Yeah, yeah, I know what you're thinking, "she's pregnant". Well that is a possibility. But, as you know if you've read my other posts, I have a history of miscarriage. So we're not saying anything to anyone. If you're on Facebook, please, ssssshhhh. I don't want to blurt this out till I'm at or even past the safety mark. And, I don't even know for sure yet if I am. I haven't tested. I just know that my period is waaaay late and I've been feeling like everything I smell makes me want to chuck up. Even sitting here I'm feeling ugh. But this is a good thing. I remember my first pregnancy I was like this, actually I don't think I was even this bad, but my three other pregnancies I wasn't sick at all. So bring it on!! Lol. The sicker the better for me when it comes to this.
On the sewing front, I did start a bag and all I have to do is sew the inside to the outside and it's done. But nooo, I've been getting myself side tracked haven't I.(By sidetracked I actually mean lazy ;) ) But I am finishing it this weekend. So I'll post a picture for you. Also, I have a request from my sister in law to make a nappy bag for her. I've been wanting to embark on that mission for some time so this is my chance. I have all the ideas in my head and I have the fabric. So it's gonna be great. I'll post piccy's of that one too when it's done. It could take a while. New designs generally do. But once I've tackled it once, after that it's easy.
Till next time.
