So, as the above post explained...we just found we're pregnant. Not just me but my husband, My daughter and my son.
Miss Mimi, my daughter who is now 9 years old and Tee, our son {nicknames of course} are all part of this beautiful journey. With all this talk for the past few years of 'should we or shouldnt we?' has been a topic of many discussions...with our kids too.
Fortunatly, both my kids are very 'maternal' if you can call children that. They are so gentle and lovely with babies and other children.
I know they will give me grandbabies one day.
They realy, realy wanted me to have another. So you can imagine my excitement when I found out. I was busting to tell them. Hubby and I discussed what we should do.
On one hand, I wanted to share this with them as I knew we would end up letting somthing slip, we hadnt even gone 48 hours without nearly 'spilling the beans', and I realy didnt want them to find out that way.
Also, I just wanted to tell them!!!!!!!!!! I couldnt wait!!!!
On the other hand, I was concirned that if anything 'sad' were to happen I know they will be devestated. I dont want this.
I also am concerned that they could tell someone...but in the end, we thought thats a risk we'll take.
So today we told them!
So exciting. Both were so happy! they couldnt stop hugging us and telling us how much they love us {dad and I}. Miss Mimi, kept smiling. She is just beside herself. The grin on her face said it all.
Tee was also very happy and said " I cant believe your having a real baby, in real life" and "there's actually a real baby in your tummy, mum".
Too cute!
So, I am happy we told them.
PERSONAL UPDATE...
As far as I go, healthwise I started the pregancy and breastfeeding multivitamins this morning. I have started feeling realy, realy tired. Also, peeing a little more than normal.
Ive been feeling some tightness in my groin area and a little achey...period like.
Last night I hadnt eaten dinner early and I was in the car. I felt realy car sick...not sure if it was the prenancy or just the car, lol.
Also, today I didnt have lunch till about 3 and man, I was feeling very unwell. Dizzy, headachy and ill. Once I ate I felt a little better but still queesy.
I remeber with my last two pregnacies it was the evenings the 'morning sickness' kicked it, looks like it may be the same with this one.
I have had realy bad headaches for a couple of weeks now...actually that was what made me think i was getting my period before I knew. I usually get a 'period headache' the day or night before i get my period and thats my sign...but this time nothing. But the headaches have stuck around, UGH!
Moody, emotional....PMT like. YUP! Unfortuantly I get the tears and the grumps...so family, buckle up, LOL.
GAS...Oh man...what can I say But PHEW! My poor husband and kids. I do feel for them. I just cant stop. :s
With that I feel very bloated. I feel like a little fatty already, hehe.
My breast have been a tad tender, but nothing major.
I go through spurts of hunger then spurts of not wanting to eat. I could devour 3 hamburgers, if i was allowed, heehee...then 3 hours later not be interested in even thinking about food.
I wont be drinking alcahol AT ALL, through this pregnacy {as I've done with the last 2}, and thats a good thing cos Ive realy gone off alcahol. I dont even miss my weekend glass of merlot...ugh!
BABY UPDATE...
Little beans heart, no bigger than a poppyseed, has already begun to beat and pump blood. The heart is dividing into chambers and will find a more regular rhythm soon. Bubby itself is about half a centimetre long and looks more like a tadpole than a human. It undergoes a growth spurt this week.
Major organs, including the kidneys and liver, begin to grow. The neural tube, which connects the brain and spinal cord, will close this week. Bubby's upper and lower limb buds begin to sprout -- these will form baby's arms and legs. The intestines are developing and the appendix is in place.
Below the opening that will later form baby's mouth, small folds exist where the neck and the lower jaw eventually develop. As early as this week, facial features are already forming. Nostrils are becoming distinct and the earliest version of the eyes' retinas are forming.
