Are we there yet?!?

I'm just starting my 33rd week of pregnancy and I'm really ready to be done! This pregnancy was completely unplanned as I was on the pill, well obviously things happen for a reason. In the beginning I was bleeding on and off, pretty much right after I found out I was preggo, but fortunately it was only implantation bleeding and this lil guy is here to stay!

The father left us in the beginning as he was not ready for a child yet, well I'm sorry to inconvenience him (heavy sarcasm) but, he's giving up on an amazing life with his son! My mother has been an excellent support for me, I couldn't ask for anyone better!

I have taken this week off work due to increased blood pressure, etc. I'm sick of it already! I have no motivation to do anything around my house, and the snow is keeping me from doing anything outside, I feel like a pregnant prisoner!!

Now I just try to remember I'm in the home stretch, I can't wait to hold my son in my arms and see who I've been carrying around for all this time! I'm sure going to miss having him inside of me! I'm not good at sharing, so it's nice to have him all to myself right now, feeling his kicks and hiccups! Soon... very soon...

My first baby

I'm expected to give birth to my first child in a few weeks time. This is a very new experience for me, as I have never handled a child before.

I am so scared in the beginning (well, all the nausea, cravings, cramps, weight gain, etc) plus the birth stories, complications, and future responsibilities awaits me in this near future, makes me nervous and excited all in the same time!

With few weeks to go, I am all set for the arrival of my first baby. I can't wait to hold him (yes, it's a boy!). It's sound obsessive? Yup!

my husband thinks i am lazy

I’m in my 34th week of pregnancy and I feel so helpless as I am so heavy. I have a two year old that has tons of energy and there are days that I don’t want to think of anything besides sleeping or resting. My husband works and he says I am lazy if I rest or lie down. Sometimes it hurts my feelings as I am not lazy, in fact I hate being lazy and am so into cleaning and loving a clean house, but now I really don’t care...

I am slow at everything and it gets hot here at times. When I had Gracie it was really nice. I enjoyed my pregnancy as I could eat and sleep wherever I wanted and my husband did not complain about it. I have no help with family and friends and this can get me down. We have been in Australia for 1 year now. I am excited about this baby and afraid.

I think its only hitting me now that we will have another member in the family...I hope that reality will kick in soon.... I have also developed big varicose veins on my vulva and on my right leg. It gets painful at times, but I am too tired to think about it...sometimes I think no more babies as I just get too big and really get bad back aches and I don’t like to complain.

Anyway they are such a wonderful gift that it seems all worthwhile at the end.

Morning Sickness Free!!!

I am already nearing the end of my 3rd trimester and have yet to have any morning sickness. What a blessing!!! I am 14 weeks pregnant as of today and this is my very 1st child and I am hoping for a baby boy. A healthy baby boy that is!

Everyone keeps telling me that it's boy because I havent had any sickness but who knows?!!? I will find out the sex of my baby in another month or so and until then I will keep my hopes steady. If its a girl, I will love her just the same.

Not long to go

I am 19 and 34 weeks pregnant with my first baby. I am still working and hoping to be here for another few weeks but I am really starting to feel the strain. I have very bad round ligament pain.

I was taken into hospital last week as I was having contractions, but it just turned out it was Braxton Hicks I was having, they were very painful and I just panicked. I'm glad the baby stayed put though. I had to get another scan and the baby was sticking his/her tongue out at me!

I am on the internet every day looking at pregnancy week by week guides and I have my Labour bag all packed. I think I am pretty organised but I bet I have forgotten something.

I can't wait to meet the baby and I am glad I don't know the sex so I can get a nice surprise :o)
