3-6 weeks to go

Had to moderate some spam so I thought I should do an update

well I’m officially 34 weeks on Tuesday so I’m optimistically calling it 3-6 weeks now when anyone asks I’ve got 3 more weeks at work and then as far as I’m concerned bub can come anytime after that.

So far so good. There’ve been no major problems and aside from sleep issues – getting up 2-3 times minimum a night and discomfort when trying to get to sleep – I’m feeling pretty good. Bub kicks and moves a fair bit - and has no respect for his mother’s internal organs – and he gets hiccups. He’s got good growth and so far I’ve avoided swelling feet and high blood pressure. I’ve been going to preggibellies exercise classes which have seemed to help my back and also pelvic floor.

We bought the last few essentials yesterday – a bin, a nighty for me and something comfy to wear whilst in labour – so now I just need to pack my bag and put some old towels in the car (the ambiotic fluid isn’t good for car upholstery apparently).

Fingers crossed that all continues going well over the next month or so!

Conception!!

(all being well)

So. Thursday I tested – I had Friday morning and Monday off so I thought that if I was pregnant it would be very convenient for me to find out then. Nada. So then all weekend I was waiting for my period, accepting the fact that this wasn’t the month for us. I even had cramps in the night. Nothing. But, I gave myself until Tuesday because that would be six weeks since my last period started. I tested and I thought I saw a second line appeared. I called in husband. He said, yes, it looks like a second line. I agreed, yes, it was definitely a second line. We got a bit excited after that.  I even took a picture (the test ).

I called the blood test place (the doctor gave me a referral when we saw him about conceiving) but they said an appointment wasn’t necessary so I went first thing this morning before work. I’ve made an appointment to see my doctor Friday morning, so hopefully my tests are back before then. I also tested again this morning and yep, definitely two lines.

So yeh – I’m pregnant! I’ve been so many different emotions since yesterday morning – excitement, a downer, disbelief, excitement again, acceptance, more excitement, impatience. So. Yep. Wow.
