There's gonna be a baby Shmoogle Bean!

I know right! SQUEEEEEEEEE! We are absolutely thrilled, as you may or may not know we are expecting our very first bubba this year!! EXCITEMENT!!!!!! Well you know, hubby and I had been married just over a year and we thought hey, let's make this year 'The Year' and try for a baby...we decided this in December 2012....I fell pregnant in January :o) I gotta admit it was a bit of a suprise! We kind of thought 'oh hey, it'll take a few months, longer maybe!' so you can imagine the look on our faces when one Saturday on a whim we duck into Coles at 11.30pm to pick up some pregnancy tests...and I think maybe I should wait til morning to take a test. Impatience got the better of me and a few minutes later, there it was...the second little pink line clear as day. I'm not sure what I thought at the time, maybe that it couldn't possibly have fallen pregnant so fast and promptly took the other two to make sure the first one wasn't faulty and lo and behold, there in front of me were three pink lines! We didn't get a lot of sleep that night, the nerves were crazy! After popping along to the Dr to confirm our good news, we were sent for a dating scan and first saw Baby Shmoogle Bean... ok so it was more of a splodge than a baby at 7 weeks 5 days but all the same, it was wonderful! Little heartbeat and everything :o) Epic smooshy moment! So there's not a lot to see there yet... but we get our 12 week scan next Monday and I am beyond excited!!

 



I have had the dreaded morning sickness since week 3 and alas it's not restricted to just the mornings...it's been



 

And let me tell you absolutely no fun! (despite any enthusiasm from The Kinks) Your excitement is kinda dampened when you have your head in a bucket....BUT sickness is apparantly a good thing meaning my hormones are doing what they're supposed to. Then all those things that come with being pregnant start happening...like a nasty UTI that was actually bleeding into my urine, then the absolutely shocking bout of thrush that came from the antibiotics that kept me up for nights on end...then the flu which I've acquired recently bought home by my husband (who works with school children all day) so thanks a bunch mother who sent their kid to school with the flu! Needless to say I've been stuck on bedrest A LOT these past few weeks....loads of books being read through and TV series' being watched. But you know what? Everyday that passes I'm thankful that I've made it past one week, then the next, then the next and all seems well. I am currently 9 weeks and 5 days, 10 weeks on Thursday and I breathe a little sigh of relief everyday. I have the most wonderfully supportive family although we live apart and whilst some friends have dropped away I have been blessed with those people who have shown sincere concern, excitement and happiness towards us since the beginning. People who remind me that through the sickness and worry I am growing a happy little vegemite and that Baby Shmoogle Bean will be loved by many! I might be turning into a bit of a hermit but Pinterest is here to help! (Hopefully) I've been stockpiling pins for this amazing occassion so that I can channel my creative vibes into creating for bub...to keep me occupied I'm simply going to choose something from my All Things Baby board and go for it! Which I will share of course :o)

I know most people don't usually share the good news until after 12 weeks, but my darling husband spilled the beans a tad too early and it kinda meant we had no choice haha! Very exciting stuff nevertheless and I am sooooo looking forward to seeing bubba again on Monday! :o)
