25 Weeks

My weight has definately stabilised, I haven't put any on for 3 weeks now! Hopefully Wiggly is getting bigger and I am compensating or something? The midwife came over for my monthly check up on Tues. It is great having her come to us, no hospital, just a morning visit at home. I met the student midwife we have decided to have along for the ride. She seemed very nice and I think we will be happy to have her around. I have been looking into hypnosis as a method of pain relief and she lent me a CD to listen to so its off to a good start! I had planned on joining the hypnosis trial at the WCH but it is finishing so I missed out. I am planning on using self hypnosis/deep relaxation techniques by finding a good CD that I can take with me. Although I admit I am a bit go with the flow. If it doesn't work onthe day I'll do something else! Have developed heartburn after consuming anything..not sure what it is from, but normal in pregnancy. Also have developed nocturnal leg cramps in my calves that wake me up. They bloody hurt! I hope they go away soon. Apparently also normal in pregnancy. Weight:55.4kg. Cravings: Still on the Chai milkshakes (I am gonna have one now).

Move Over Martha Stewart!

I have had some requests to show the stuff I made, so here are the pictures of the baby mobile I made (based on child development info I went for black and white contrasting images to stimulate brain development) and the wall hangings I made. I am really happy with both...I can do anything!

24 weeks

Went to my first pregnancy related class this week. Backcare. Not sure I learned much but it was really interesting to see all the other pregnant ladies bumps. Some people have little bumps compared to their dates and others have big bumps. Weight:55.5kg. Craving: Chai milkshakes.

20 Week Ultrasound

I forgot to put the picture of Wiggly from our 20 week ultrasound up so here it is. Such a cute head shape...can you tell its my baby?

23 Weeks

We have told the kids at work that we are having a baby and I think they are very curious. I have had a couple ask to touch my tummy which is pretty cute and lots of them are starting to ask questions or tell me about when their mum had a baby. Just strating to feel a bit better from the virus, still sick now, but more like a normal cold than before. Wiggly has had a really active week, the other day I don't think it stopped moving all day, but I was at home so I probably noticed it more. Am strarting to organise the nursery more and trying to get the little things that are less exciting but necessary. I am noticing that I am also having a bit of trouble focusing on Uni now, about a month to go but all I can do is focus on preparing for the baby. Hopefully I can hold onto my concentration long enough to pass my exams!

Current cravings : Ribena, warm chicken salad with rocket (really liking rocket).

Weight: 55.4kg (has been going a bit all over the place due to sickness I think)

22 Weeks

I finally got fitted for a new bra coz I couldn't figure out which size to get and I gotta say I would never have bought one that size myself..have kept the tag to prove to myself I needed it. Rob finally got to feel Wiggly moving this week. He can't feel it much, but he did feel it, I don't feel so bad now, I feel a bit guilty that I can feel it all the time and Rob doesn't get to experience it. Especially coz I know he would be the sort of person ot be really into it. Anyway hooray! Have caught a virus from somewhere and has knocked me over, been sleeping for about 3 days and just started to move around again. It is cruel that pregnant people can't take anything for it since we are supposed to be more delicate. I hope after this cold I don't have another one EVER!

21 Weeks

Have noticed Wiggly protests everytime someone pokes my tummy to feel what's going on eg ultrsound lady and midwife by staying still for a day or so. I nearly fainted at the hospital the other morning, was making appointments and all of a sudden needed sugar fast. Fortunately I whipped out a Ribena and continued my appointment making from a seated position. Also vomited 2 days in a row! First time in pregnancy, hoping this is not the start of problems :( Wriggly's movements are getting clearer now, I found out my placenta is on the front wall of my abdomen so they said I might not feel it as much as others, but I can feel them just fine.

20 Weeks

Litlle Wiggly is getting not so little. Apparently at our ultrasound they said it has taken to being upsidedown with its head in my bladder :) It is starting to move a bit more and I saw my tummy move the other night, bizarre.
