Insert Roll Eyes here.....

..and another reason why I don't bother with baby forums...people are so darn sensitive and take anything said the wrong way..omg...guess I should not state pure fact next time cause people get their knickers in a wad.  Sorry but "baby bumps" at this stage are not "baby" they are fat, gas and bloating...and the baby has not yet even RISEN into the abdomen part of the Uterus at 5 weeks.   Ok, sometimes I forget a lot of these are first/second time mums and its all so very exciting, but I am just  a blunt person, my bad.  Whateves..

Feeling very average.

Hubby working all hours so barely see him.  Kids taking advantage of me feeling ill.  Oldest playing up in school.  Youngest has become more demanding if thats even possible.  Finding it hard to function on a normal level right now.  Feeling frustrated, annoyed, sick, tired and pissed off with everyone.

Guess Im somewhere around 8 weeks, don't care at the moment.  

On nice note Pam and John bought around a casserole which was lovely on the weekend.  

Sorry for the grumpy post, but Im sure there will be more to come.

Not taking grooming clients anymore, its too much with my lot to keep on top of too.  Too tired.

Oh and also I still need to figure out how to put photos on my Mac and onto here...sigh.

Blah.

Lets just say yesterday was awful.  I woke up with a Migraine.  Luckily it was in the wee, dark hours of the morning so I didn't have to contend with noise and kids.  I had the aura, numbness, tingling and nausea..I just tried to lie still with my face to the fan and hope it went away before Ayla awoke.

I was left with terrible nausea and a blinding headache, to which I discovered that we had no damn Panadol in the entire house!  (Nurofin yes, but it has blood thinners so I've been told not to take it..) agghhh!  So clumped around, slowly doing what I needed too, begging kids to SHHHHH..

Gave the boys a lunch order to drive halfway to school and have Hubby call to say, "Bailey has sports day today, you need to go pa and he needs lunch"  BAH!  Drove home, made said lunch, ordered child off to get shorts on and the other kids to stay in car, and gave them my phone...we rushed back out again and to school.

Came home and lay on the couch for a bit while Ayla stuck Dora band aids on my legs...

Headache went but nausea was horrid...its getting worse right now not better, come on 12 weeks.  Couldn't eat anything, smell anything or drink anything, left my tablets to take in the evening.

Got shopping done..breathing through my nose.

Got new radiator cap.

Got Ayla a Sausage from Bunnings.

Came home and we both napped.

Groomed a dog with a fan blowing on us both, while Ayla ran around with the rest of the gang.

Long day...come on 12 weeks...come at me Maxalon.

SO I cant seem to stay awake...I lay down with a book while Ayla has her afternoon nap and I have to lay it down and close my eyes and the next thing i know is an hour or so has shot by!  I'm sooo glad she still takes naps though, that's for sure!  

SOooo we had our 7 week dating scan today...its a .....PEANUT!  P and J where running a bit late and I had to explain to the tech that I had to wait for them as it was their baby, lol!  Bailey and Teig stayed in the waiting room with iPhones beep, beeping and I knew they wouldn't utter a peep.  Ayla was a typical, nosey, noisy inquisitive 3 year old, but she sat happily on J's knee patting my arm.      

I really, really, REALLY needed to pee...I think that is the worse part about these ultrasounds, someone pressing harder and harder on your belly to really get a good view with that wand while all the while you have running through your mind is, don't laugh, don't sneeze, don't cough...cause I neeeeeddd toooo weeeeeee.....

Heartbeat was ticking along well at 140bmp and the implantation is still where it was originally, so nice and high.  Defiantly ONE.  YES!

I piped up to ask the tch for a photo for mum and dad and she goes, Ahhh you've done this before haven't you...uh duh ;)  No, she was lovely and it was hard to shut up while she explained how it all works and when each scan is taken and what for etc...I have another one at 12 weeks and P and J have decided to do the new testing which incorporates blood work and ultrasound together to rule out Downs and other genetic abnormalities earlier.  This is very very new and is instead of an Amniocentesis..it is also very expensive.  But being older parents they definitely want the best shot at a healthy baby as this baby will have no close family after they go in the future.

Blood tests at 10 weeks and bloods and Ultrasound again at 12 weeks.  In between feeling like crap...

Feeling a bit cranky and down at the moment, I think its just my hormones playing games, but its still sucks.  Andrew (hubby) is in his new job, and he is loving it.  But at present they are very very busy so he has been leaving very early and getting home late.  He is amazing.  He is so supportive and loving and the best daddy as well.  Its not every husband that would be ok with their wife being pregnant with another couples child! Did I mention he is amazing?  He will cook me a steak when I am grumpy (more than normal) and has whipped up batches of Mashed potatoes to satisfy my craving.  Tells me he loves me and I am beautiful every day (even though I have a real issue with my weight since Ayla was born) Everything he does is for his family and me, I am so so lucky.

Ultrasound photo to come, its on my phone and I am not sure how to use this computer yet....

Genea IVF World First?

Dating scan tomorrow!!  Sorry for the lax updating...but really there has been nothing to update! lol 

So it looks like this lucky embryo embryo #9 was part of the guinea pig trial by Genea as to the solution they use to soak the little embryos.  IM rang me and was telling me all about it and said she didn't think much off it until she saw the article!

Feeling much more off now...smells putting me right off and a constant ill feeling.  Joy.  It actually feels very similar to my last pregnancy.  My joints have all loosened too and my hips are already playing up a bit, so will have to watch that a bit in things that I do.  I suffered from Symphysis Pubis Dysfunction with my last...

I actually didnt think Id have to worry about it this early on though, mmmm..oh well.  

I had to remind IM that it was IF baby too and he should be at the ultrasound when she suggested that he could mind my kids while we went, lol!!  Cant wait to see their faces!

Week 6 already..

Ok here we are at week 6...cravings, mmm potatoes still, healthy salads and foods.  Totally gone of sweet stuff which was my poison, so that's great for my waist I guess!

I feel extremely tired ALL the time..I forgot how wiped out you feel.  When Miss 3 is down for her nap I usually get some shut I too, but have to set my alarm in case she sleeps late and I do to and the boys don't get picked up on time!!  That would be bad...

Very slight nausea still, comes in waves..

Otherwise things are ticking along very well and so far I am enjoying the ride.  IM and IF are still in the land of OMG, I think it will be more real for them both when they see that wee heartbeat on the screen next week.

The beginning...

So I have begun walking and walking and walking.  All these carbs are so not going to be great for me..I am already the heaviest I have been NOT pregnant, so Lordy help me at the end of this pregnancy!!  Oh well, that's life.

I still have to keep minding myself that I am now pregnant with this beautiful embryo and how amazing it all it.  The process goes through my mind quite often and I am still totally amazed by it all. 

Apart from terribly attractive bloating (not!) and wanting to eat piles of potatoes in any form, so far I haven't really noticed anything different.  I am expecting M/s to kick in around weeks 7/8...maybe as that's when it reared its ugly head in my other pregnancies.  I am prone to hormonal migraines to during first trimester and I can't take my regular migraine drugs while pregnant so fingers crossed my body adjusts and doesn't cop them....

Missy the wonder dog...my Brittany Is my pregnancy sniffer dog...with my other pregnancies even before I knew she would and she would be like glue and drive me nuts!!  This pregnancy was no different, only I had forgotten what she was like and had told Andrew (DH) one night in my 2WW that she was driving me bonkers by rolling me abounds and staring at me..laying on top of me and even when I had a bath had to lie on the bath at watching me!!  (Missy is 11 this year and unless food is involved she is found on our bed asleep 90% of the time!). Andrew reminded me she was our very own 'bun in the oven' sniffer dog!!  Hey maybe I could rent her out to 2 WWaiters?!! Lol!  She has since settled down, but still likes to make sure if where I am most of the time...
