10 week scan!!

Yes we are now 10 weeks pregnant... somewhere between 10 weeks, 2 days and 10 weeks and 5 days!!! wow!!!
Its amazing... i cant get over the development process of it all..

I have switched to new new obstetrician, and yesterday i called her offices just to find out if they had received my information from Carol (old gynae) they said that they had and then asked if we could move my appointment from Wednesday to today! I got a huge fright and though that matbe God was trying to tell me something (i had just read an article on missed miscarriages and so my paranoia set in)... it clashed with Andrew's baptism, but he moved his baptism ahead an hour! so we took the appointment for 11am.

Before my last scan, I was very nervous that we wouldnt be able to see heartbeat, or that something would be wrong! So this time i was worried that something had happened and J wouldnt be there! (im such an idiot sometimes...) Apparently its normal to worry so i dont feel too bad! Poor Bryan had to put up with my nonsense though!! He does great!!!

We rushed from Andrew's baptism (which was awesome!!) to my appointment.. due to say..the doctor was running late (as most do) so there was no need to rush!!
But hey, got there on time!! B can really drive!!
Met Tania and she is lovely! I am thrilled with her!! We did a brief history and then weighed me...so far i have not picked up weight...!!! I just have a speed bump...
Then it was onto the bed for a quick examination and the the scan!!

It was incredible!! there is definitely only 1 but oh so cute!! we saw the fingers, hands, nose, feet, ears, spine, chin and... we heard the heartbeat!!! it is so strong and so quick!! wow!!! im amazed! had to compose myself so i didnt cry!!

so everyone meet Baby J... J's waving so wave back!!!!


This is J waving, you can see J's nose and chin and his little arm and fingers!!
Isnt that just too cute?




J is 4.01cm!! Big for this stage!! J is the size of an 11 week old fetus!


J is waving hello!!!


Yay!!!

New pregnancy forum

I was on a pregnancy forum, where things have been getting out of control! People were nasty and we had some kids signing posts as the regular ladies on the forum.

Bryan created a new forum on My Beautiful Belly. This will hopefully combat the nasties!!!
Its growing wonderfully!!! Check it out!!
We have a Pregnancy Forum, a Parenting Forum, a TTC Forum and an Infertility Forum!
We also have a gallery and some very interesting articles!
check it out at http://mybeautifulbelly.net

WOW!!! We are 7 weeks and 3 days pregnant! I am so excited, I could pop!

This week has been an interesting one. Bryan and I have had a few tiffs but are all good now! I blame my hormones. I have been so sensitive and get worked up very easily, so it doesn't take much to send me into a spin at the moment. That seems to have calmed down now, thank goodness!

For the last 3 days, I have been very bloated. It seems to come and go, but now looks as though it is here to stay for a bit :-) I'm not complaining. I'm looking forward to having a proper preggy tummy. Its all so exciting!

Here is a picture of what baby J looks like now. (its not our baby J, its just a pic)


Aint it just the sweetest thing?

Other than some hayfever, I am doing great!! Am going to see my new obstetrician on 29 November. So should have another scan then and a new pic of Baby J!
My cravings at the moment are fruit!! I want fresh fruit and Veg. Its wonderful to crave that and not choccies!

Am going to have to go get some bigger clothes tomorrow as I am in a clothes crisis!! Not much fits at the moment . I was saying to mom yesterday that I feel fat and frumpy! But I'm not, I'm pregnant!!!

Hope that you are all doing great!!
Remember God loves you and wants to have a relationship with you.

Beautiful woman

Woman you are beautiful....too beautiful not to share!!!

Pardon me, I'm just loving me . . .
I woke up this morning to the smell of my conditioned hair.As I lay in my satin sheets, I noticed the beautiful outline of my Vessel.

It came to me...
I am a resurrected vessel...Beautiful
Moving into another level of wholeness.
I think I ought to love me this morning.

Pardon me... I'm just lovin' me for a moment this morning. I woke up this morning to the pattern of my own shadow.
No matter where I turn, I cannot separate what I reflect in my shadow.

Someone else cannot see the intricate details that God has put into my shadow,
I cannot only see it, but I appreciate it.
If a perfect God can take that much time in molding me, loving me,

cherishing me, reshaping me...then surely I Am worth loving me.
Pardon me... I'm just lovin' me for a moment this morning.
I woke up this morning alone but not lonely.
I got tired of waiting for someone to put ice in my soda, milk in my tea, jam on my biscuits, peas in my rice, and soap on my back.
I am not alone.
I have me... I have me... I have me... and then
I have an omnipresent God who has me...
When I put the ice in my soda...
He stands there silently observing me...ready to suggest creative ways to set my table.

Pardon me... I'm just lovin' me for a moment this morning.
I woke up this morning and beheld the beautiful reflection of a 5ft
something frame, a soft smile, a shiny nose, medium length hair, brown skinned complexion, and a Biblically perfect shape.

I leaned forward and kissed the mirror...I love you girl!!!
Not because of your external beauty...
Not because mama said you were beautiful...
Not because a man told you that you were beautiful...No!

Because God values you...
Because God loves you...
When I look at all your attributes, and I think about what God has
predestined you to become... I can only say that I love you.

For all the battles you've conquered...
For the tears you've shed...
For the negative words that shot you down...
For the pain you've overcome...
For the growth you've sustained... I love you Girl!

Pardon me... I'm just lovin' me for a moment today!!

Baby J update

We went for our first scan today! We were out by a week. We are 6 weeks pregnant. Baby J is 5mm long, and we got to see the heartbeat. It is so exciting. We saw our little peanut!!! His (yes, i think its a boy.) little heart flutter was going so fast. It is amazing.

This is what Baby J looks like now...

This not our Baby J, its just a pic of what he looks like now...

I have been having tearing sensations in my abdomen. It is the strangest feeling. I cant describe it, other than to say it feels like something in me is tearing. Carol reckons that it is the smooth muscles of the abdominal muscles tearing and getting ready to stretch. She says that it is common in first pregnancy's.

 

God is so good. All praise and glory to Him for this little miracle that is growing and developing inside my tummy right now.

Will post pictures of the scan in the next day or 2. yay!!
