Being pregnant isn't always a cup of tea...

Tuesday 04.08.09

I'm starting to realise just how easy my pregnancy with Kailee was. This whole pregnancy has been full of drama - not that its such a bad thing lol I've had morning sickness til 12wks, migraines so bad i've thrown up, been to hospital twice cuz i've been really sick or having pains in my stomach, and more..... I failed my 1hr glucose test (to check for gestational [pregnancy] diabetes) and then had to sit through the 2hr test, thankfully i passed that. So don't need to cut out sugary things like chocolate lol I'm now measuring at least 3wks ahead and the midwife is concerned and wants for the dr to see me at my next antenatal appt. Looks like i might just have a big boy growing inside my tummy - hopefully he doesn't get too big, i still have to give birth to him lol. All is going well otherwise, my iron count is a bit on the low side, meaning i need another blood test at 36wks to check it again. I can't believe there's less than 11wks to go til this little man is due!! I have a feeling he might make an appearance earlier than that tho. (At least i hope so - i really dread going overdue again and i'm already feeling awfully uncomfortable lol).

I'm starting to feel enormous and X doesnt like to sit still in there, he's always wiggling around, poking his body parts out. I keep taking belly pics to see how i'm looking each couple wks, its crazy how much i'm growing. I think i was this big when about to have Kailee - so i can't imagine how big i'm gonna be when X decides to enter this world :O It's so cute watching my belly move as he changes position and Kailee loves feeling her brother poking against my tummy. She always tells me he's poking his butt at her lol Kailee's going to make a great big sister.

I've finally moved into my own place which is fantastic. It's so nice to start getting everything out of boxes n set up Kailee's room. I need to get organised and do my room and start setting up all X's things in the nursery area. I'd like to get it all done before my baby shower which is in less than a couple wks. I'm so excited for Serena to be coming up and all the fun we're gonna have :) I've bought nearly everything i need for X and can't wait for the little guy to hurry up and get here - i'm already over being preg.... big and uncomfortable lol

Til the next update - me and my tummy will keep on growing. I'll come back to post pics when i get some new nice ones :D xxx

  1. Hang in there girl! I feel your pain with being sick of being pregnant, but like you said 11 weeks (or less) to go, you're in the homestretch now. Sorry to hear about all of the medical concerns your doctors have, everything will be ok. I'm sure you already feel this way, but I like to think that once I can hold my baby in my arms it will make everything worth the hassel. I'm sure the same will be true for you!

  2. Everyone of my pregnancies has been different. For the most part with Braeden & this little guy I didn't feel pg.

    This one makes it different cause I had m/s from 7-12 wks, not gaining weight, no appetite, and hardly feel his movements. :(

    It will be over before you know it, and despite all that, you will miss it :)
