Boobie boom!

So all of a sudden I got boobs...

Belly shot!

yayyy

I love taking photos of my bump!


New photos of my and the boy too!

New photo!

So its been ages since I posted a belly pic. It seems I am growing pretty fast! According to the hospital (who have been idiots at this point in time) I am 8 weeks and 3 days, according to my LMP I am 10 weeks and 1 day. So my due date is well.. Uncertain. We have another appointment soon, hopefully with a sonographer who knows what they're doing.

Here is weeks 8/10 bump photo!

At this point in time I am wearing maternity stuff mixed with my regular stuff.. Still fits my bum and legs! For now....

Also been getting back into playing video games. Pretty fun and we don't waste money on going out anywhere and still have fun. The dogs have been extra naughty lately too as the weather has been getting cold and they don't like it outside. So they pee on everything!!! We're out of washing powder now and its pretty depressing. Alass! We will hit the shops tomorrow and get on it!

Thats all for now! Time sure is flying!

been a while

Woah its been ages it feels like! We went back to the sonographer and what do you know. NOT twins. Got all excited for nothing! But we did get to see a precious little heartbeat. Noah even cried a little. Since then we've bought a bunch of baby things to get into the swing of things and I'm learning to tattoo. I did my first one on my thigh! I was pretty excited. Just wish it would heal now!



I love it~ pretty proud.

So in other news, we went driving to Melbourne and back. Worst idea ever. Like EVER. I got caught speeding because I didn't like how there were three massive trucks lined up behind me. Goodbye license. And I wouldn't even have this problem if a bitchy cop one night didn't pull me over for having a cough medicine amount of alcohol in my blood. Seriously, even my cop friends thought that was suss.

But I am staying positive.

My little bump seems to have plateaued in size for now.. Which is because its fluid, not twins.

Cheerio!

Butternut Pumpkin and Basil Soup

I made this from scratch! So proud.

Half a butternut pumpkin, cut into cubes with the skin removed
A hand full of basil leaves
Half a litre of water
Salt, Oregano & Garlic to taste

Boil pumpkin with basil until pumpkin is soft, mash it with whisk till smooth then add salt, oregano and garlic. Serve with crusty bread.

Rant.

Since finding out that we were having twins people have been telling me what to do. Like somehow my body's decision to have twins somehow means I no longer have the right to make decisions about my body. My mother even went so far as to calling me an uneducated arrogant because I refuse to have a c-section. Mind you, the woman gave birth in the 90's and was given two c sections when she probably didn't need them. Breech birth being deemed as "unfit" and all by the doctors of the world. (Only because they tend to break babies necks...) After speaking to my lovely midwife I was told that she can do twins. She is the one I trust with this after all. She will asses the risk. The end.

Birth stories

Amazing.

This womans story close to made me cry.

Just wow!

This morning I woke up to a horrific sight. Blood in my undies. I screamed out for Noah to come then called Lisa to ask her what we should do. She said its probably nothing but if we wanted to check with an ultrasound that we should call up the Women's and Children's hospital and go in to get looked over. We got there and the midwife looked us up and down strangely. She checked over my records and saw that my last blood test showed my HcG levels at 7. She insisted that I could not be pregnant but said we could get another blood test. I had blood taken and two hours later after waiting in the little waiting room the midwife called us into the exam room and said my HcG was at 28,000. Time for an ultrasound! The doctor came in and asked me a bunch of questions then preped me for a vaginal exam. She checked me out and said that the bleeding was old and probably from sex. PHEW what a relief!

Then it was time for the ultrasound, the only one they had was a dinged up old one. But it worked. She covered my belly in the jelly and got to work. "There's your utaris!" she said then tried to get a better picture from a couple of different angles. She found the sac the bub was in and put me at about 4 weeks. We breathed a sigh of relief that it wasn't twins...

Then she said, that it looked as though there was two sacs. It WAS twins.

So there you have it! We have twins!

Love

I have never been so tired in my life. All I want to do is sleep! Doesn't help that we still don't have our bed. Been sleeping so poorly lately. I guess its good prep for when the little one comes! Which still isn't for ages.. YAWN!

Today we met Scarlet for the first time. She's the most amazing baby! Doesn't even scream when I hold her. Which is probably because her parents aren't terrified I'm going to steal or drop her. Trust is a beautiful thing. We spent the afternoon there and heaps of the night then had to leave as my morning sickness started being a dick then my exhaustion decided to join in too.

Pretty lady. Pretty baby.



Chris having a cuddle. It was love at first sight.

Be with you

Tonight we watched a Japanese love story called "Be with you". So cute. It was about a woman who died but promises her husband and son she will come back in the rainy season. When she does she doesn't remember who they are anymore and her husband has to tell her the story of how they met. The rainy season eventually comes to an end and she disappears. The movie fades out with the little boy talking about his mothers promise.

It made me wonder who our little one will be when they grow up.

Warm fuzzies.

I made a birthplan!

Here it is!

I was wondering how to make one for my baby journal and found one right here!!!

Happyyyy!
