There's life

Yesterday I had my second visit to the midwife. I got my growing belly measured, which is just over the average percentile. This was good to know as I haven't put any weight on yet (in fact I've lost 4kg). I also heard the baby's heartbeat for the first time. This was also reassuring as I haven't felt it moving yet & the past 2 weeks haven't felt anything at all. So I was starting to wonder if it was alright. So now I'm just eagerly waiting for tomorrow when I have my second ultrasound.

Farewell Little Blue

Yesterday we said good-bye to Little Blue (Tom's car) after many faithful years of service. It had been struggling for a long time to keep up with it's work and on the weekend we decided it was time for it to retire.

At the same time we welcome Little Green, who is  Little Blue's replacement. 

You just look fat!

Well that was Tom's comment to the photos, I'll let you judge for yourself.

Meet Little One

There really is a baby

I went for my first ultrasound today, and now I have physical proof that there really is a baby in there. It may sound funny, but over the last 3 months I've found myself wondering sometimes if there really was a baby in there. I mean apart from the morning sickness, sore boobs & out of control emotions there's not really much else to see. But today was amazing!! There's a little person in there, with a head & arms & legs, and it's moving around even though I can't feel it. However as usual it had a mind of it's own & wasn't/wouldn't get into the right position for them to take the measurements they needed. Normally if this is the case they apparently would get you to jump up & down a few time to try & persuade it to move, but because of my back problems I was unable to do this. So I have to go back on Monday for another try.
