Baby News

So at last I can explain why I haven't been blogging properly for aaaaaaages. Primarily it's because I have been feeling like crap. And the reason I have been feeling like crap?

I'm pregnant!!!!

Whoooo - freaking - hoo!!!!!

Even though many people know in the real world I have been keeping it a secret from the internet whilst I waited to reach 12 weeks. That little milestone happened yesterday and I am feeling good so here is news!

We were so lucky this time round, it was a much quicker process. It took four cycles to conceive (we conceived on the fourth) and I did it with a little bit of help from my old friend Clomid. Only difference was I used a girlfriend's left over packet without my doctor's supervision. I know. Bad. But, my logic was "hey, give this a go, see if it works, if not, no stress, back to the Fertility Specialist in Feb". I took a very low dose, much lower than I needed to conceive Cate and wham, bam, thank you M'am...it worked.

I took a pregnancy test only because hubby suggested it was a good idea as I was being a feral cow, having period like symptoms AND my sense of smell went through the roof...I could smell rotting mould everywhere, it was awful.

The test revealed a bright pink second line IMMEDIATELY :) I had to do a happy dance with Cate in the bathroom as we were the only ones home!

That was quite some time ago and, in the mean time, I have morning (more like all day) sickness, extreme fatigue and a whole lot of bloating. I'm looking fat and pudgey (not pregnant!) but feeling better and about to go and see my midwife for my first appointment.

Life is good :)
