3 days to due date, and 5 till induction date!
I am getting very frustrating at waiting, and guessing every twinge and ache! LOL I guess that is normal, but it doesn't make it easier!
I slept from 12am till about 8am (getting up every 2 hours of course!) Then went back to bed at 9.30am and slept till 1pm. I said to Mark, maybe my body is telling me I need my rest, and tonight will be the night! I think that was wishful thinking, as it is now 8pm, and still nothing!
Everytime I ring Mark he thinks it is 'the call' LOL
Off to eat some dinner, and more waiting!
Over and out for now

I did it!
Passed my driving test! 1st go, I am pretty happy with that, as I have not really had much driving experience, even though I have had my learners permit since i was 17!
I know it will make a huge difference to my independence, especially with having a baby, and all the doctors appointments etc I will have to take him to! We will be free!
I will take myself off for a drive by myself tomorrow. I have not driven my car at all, and as it is a BMW, all the controls are on the left, so I need to get use to it.
Ok, I am ready for this little boy to be born now ....

12 Days and counting
Tomorrow is the 'big' driving test day! I had a lesson this morning, and will have another tomorrow morning before the test. I imagine I will be very nervous tomorrow! It might even send me in to labour! That would be fun during the test, having contractions!
Doctors appointment went well yesterday. The head has dropped a bit, and is getting closer to being engaged. The Doc is going to do an internal tomorrow, and if I am dilated, he said if I am keen, he is happy to book me in to be induced! I presume that would be later in the week.
WOW I could have a baby next week. That is freaky to think. I am not scared, more excited than anything.
Sorry Jess & Dawn, he won't be born on your birthday's, as it is already the 21st here! A big HAPPY BIRTHDAY to you both!

I am in the teens ....
19 days to go until I am full term!
I hope my little man comes before then! End of next week would be perfect I think. Like it can just request it and he will come LOL
Had a very uncomfortable night last night, and was up until 3am! I just could not get comfortale, I was tossing and turning, and decided it was probably better to just get out of bed and watch some TV.
His head is still not engaged! I guess he is not too keen to come in to the real world, quiet happy in his little cocoon.
Getting the waxing done, and hair done on Friday. I will also try to get a few more Christmas things done.
Christmas cards are nearly done! We have even finally agreed to the name, as he allowed me to write Rory on the cards! It was very strange signing the cards.
It has been warm the last few days, luckily I have been in the airconditioning, so haven't felt it too much.

36 Weeks
I had my 36 week appointment yesterday. After all my weekend of pelvic pressure and pain I was SURE I his head was engaged. LOL But nope, still high and floating! I just know he is going to be like his father, and will be late!
The Dr said IF his head engages by 38 weeks he will talk induction after 38 1/2 weeks, as he believes that is the magic number for babies lungs to be fully developed. If he has not engaged at 39 weeks, he said his head may be too big for my pelvis, and we can talk about c-section! I really hope he becomes engaged in the next week ..
Melbourne Cup today (A horse race that stops the nation here!) SO have been organising the sweep, Baby even has his first bet on :0) Just getting the TV Set up for all the guys to watch.
Having internet problems at home, so have been unable to get on net there, only at work.

33 days to go!
Can't believe how close we are now. Seems like only yesterday I got my BFP.
33 days give or take, and my little man will be here. It is still very surreal, and sometimes I still wake up and forget I am pregnant, until I try and get out of bed of course!
His nursery is nearly finished, I just need to go to Ikea to get some baskets for his book case. (So I can put all the lotions, potions etc in) I will take some more pics when that is done.
I bought my nappy bag on the weekend, and now have that packed and ready. I have everything I need for hospital. I just need another bag, as the one I have is way too small, and is just going to be my labour bag now. I am trying to find something matching, as that is just the way I am, and hate things unbalanced or not matching! Must be the Libra in me ;o)
We have had a lot going on the past week.
I have been very emotional, it hasn't helped having a ass for a husband! He has been having wisdom teeth problems since Wednesday last week, he got one out yesterday, and will hopefully have the other one sorted this Friday. He has been horribly cranky, and moody. Moaning, groaning and humming pain all night! He has been taking pain killers every 30 mins, which is not good! Anyway, he got a good sleep last night, and seems to be back to normal. I have had a lot of tears though, and nearly went and stayed with my Mum!
Mark's best friend and his wife had a little girl last Wednesday, Holly. She is a little cutie, and I am happy that our babies are going to be so close in age. I think it has made Mark more excited, as now P is a Dad, they will have something else to share together. So Rory has a little girlfriend before he is born LOL
I have had a stomach bug, which knocked me around for a few days, also, it is getting more and more uncomfortable to sleep. I was up every 2 hours last night for a toilet stop. I actually woke up and thought my waters had broken. Luckily no wet spot. I need another week to get myself organised before I will be happy for him to come, anytime after 36 weeks would be good!
I had my baby shower, which was nice, I got lots of nice pressies. Got my highchair, which was one of the big purchases we had not done (Not that we will need it for a while!) We got lots of rattles, toys for pram etc ....
I am having a driving lesson on Friday. No, I still don't have my licence, despite us buying me a car! Yes, I will have it hopefully by the time he is born. No public transport where we live, so it would be hard getting around with a newborn.

So I am a slack blogger .....
I can't believe it has been nearly 2 months since my last post. Where has the time gone?
A lot has happened in the last few months.
I finally finished work, after 14 years with the same company. It was a bittersweet moment leaving, exciting, as I got a nice big payout, and I am starting a new chapter in my life, sad, as I had made a lot of friend's there, as I started there when I was 19!
We have moved house. Not a smart move when you are 27 weeks pregnant, my poor body was pretty tired there for a while, but we are all settled now. Love the new house, we are set in the bush, where all you hear a birds. They come up and sit on the verandah during the day, which is lovely. I will try and take some pics and post in the next few days.
I have started working for Mark 3 days a week, I have lots of paperwork to catch up on, I think it will take me a month to catch up. Then I might move down to 2 days a week. I will see how I am feeling.
My little man is going well, growing and getting bigger by the day. He is giving me a few whack now to remind me that he is there! He was nameless for a while, but I 'think' he is back to being Rory. Mark decided for some reason that he didn't like the name! *rolling eyes* On the weekend, we were in Babies Galore, and I saw those wooden letters, that you use on the babies door (for their name) and I said, that is what I want, if only we had a name picked!!! He said R O R Y, I will hate it for the rest of my life though ..... mmm I am not sure if I want him to hate the name. We just can't agree on anything else, he wants Declan, but I am not really taken with it, like I am Rory ... The other names we were thinking about were Darcy & Pierce ... Stay tuned, but he is Rory for now! We are telling family and friends that the boys name we have picked is Declan, so they will be really suprised if we name him Rory (No one knows that we are having a boy, except my online friends!)
I had my 28 week appointment Monday. I don't have Gestational Diabetes, and my Iron levels were good. YAY, one less thing to worry about! The Dr told me to lay off the fruit juice, and strawberries (my only pregnancy craving!) as they are high and sugar, and that means an increase in his birth weight. He said think of forceps everytime you have a craving ... mmmm nice thought, I don't want a forceps delivery! I haven't had a fruit juice or strawberry since! LOL Rory's position is head down, and 3/5th in the pelvis. A bit scary that he is in position already! But the Dr did say they move alot at this stage, and not to worry. He is very active, especially between 10pm - midnight! I hope this is not a sign of things to come ..... Mark feels him move and kick regularly now. I think this has made it all more real for him.
The nursery is all set up. Here are the pics. Only bits and pieces to do, wall hangings etc ....
and the belly taken last week:
Still no stretch marks, which I am eternally grateful for! I am sure I will get some though ....
Not much else going on. My birthday at the end of the month :o) I am getting old. Amazing how you thought 33 was old when you were in your 20's, now here I am 33, and about to become a mother for the first time.
Will be a better blogger now I have more time .... I promise!!

On the count down!
I have made it half way! only 20 more weeks to go, Wow, that sounds like an awful long time, but is only about 137 days!!!
I have to say, I feel very blessed that i have had such a great pregnancy, sometimes I feel a bit guilty that I was so lucky to get pg on my 1st injectibles cylce, even if we had been trying for ages before. Seems so unfair that some of my friends have been struggling for such a long time to get pg. Chin up girls, you know who you are :o) Miracles do happen, I am proof of that.
I still don't think I have come to term with that fact that I am having a boy, I feel sometimes like the doctor got it wrong LOL I have a hard time calling him Rory, is that strange? I watched the DVD again today, and paused it on the part were she was pointing out his bits, and I could finally clearly see that his definitely all man. I am now trying to work out how to get a pic of that screen shot, so I can show you all, and you can confirm that he is defintely a he! LOL gee i worry about stupid stuff!
I have finally decided on his nursery bedding, I figure this can go with either a boy or girl, depending on what number 2 is.
Pic below:
Do you all like?
Belly is getting bigger, even though I had only put on 1.1kg when I visited the doctor on Monday (that was in 6 weeks, so I was really shocked and pleased) Mark thinks I am going to be huge by the end of this pregnancy, and I happen to agree with him, LOL I just hope I can lose it. I really want to get back to my pre pregnancy weight, or smaller as soon as I can. Since it will be summer, I am sure I will live on salads for a few months anyway! :o)
Only 6 more weeks of work to go. I am so ready to finish. It is hard getting up every mornig knowing I don't have long to go. It is also freezing, so that doesn't help.
We have to find a new place to live within the next 3 weeks, ahhh! Then the joys of packing and moving. We also plan to try and get a short break away around mid September, September will sure be a busy month.
Congrats to our friend Dawn, who gave birth to beautiful twin girls, Megan & Haley today 7 pounds each. What a champion effort that she was able to keep them cooking till nearly full term. Can't wait to see their cute little faces.
Anyway, that is enough for today, over and out till next time

Finally got it working!! Isn't she cute! I say she, cause that is my instinct at the moment, we will see on 6th July!
Yes I am a blog slacker!!!
I am very naughty for not posting in such a long time. Jessica thanks for reminding me again!! You can see why I never had a diary, I would start it, I would post for a week, and then would forget all about it!
I can't believe it, but I will be 16 weeks in 2 days! 170ish days to go.
I have to have a blood test next week to check for all these yucky things, HIV, HEP B, HEP C, Syphllis, Spina bifida etc I am such a worry wart, I think what if I have something and don't know it?? I am sure they will be taking lots of vials of my blood, I should be use to it by now I guess!
Belly is getting bigger, people comment that I look much bigger than I am, oh well, hope I don't grow to much for a little while. I have taken some pics, but I think I look fat rather than pregnant, so decided not to post one until I clearly look PG!! Vain of me I know he he he ...
Work is getting really busy, for the next release of our project, so the long hours are about to start, I don't know how I am going to handle it, I am so tired by the afternoons, 12 hour days just don't appeal to me!! I have to think that hopefully i will no longer be working after September, as I should be getting retrenched! YAY! (retrenchment is when you are no longer required for your job, so they finish you up, with a huge payout (5 weeks pay for the 1st year of work, and 3 weeks for every year after that you have worked for them, plus any annual leave and Long service leave (after working 10 years for a company they give you a weeks leave every you have worked for them, on top of your normal 4 weeks leave a year)) So, I have been there nearly 14 years, so I will get approx. $80K (AUD) after tax! :o) You can see why I want it know, it will set us up financially for me not to have to go back to work, other than working for Mark for quite a while!
I have been a bit teary the last few weeks, guess it is pregnancy hormones! ! I had a huge fight with Mark last week, I felt like he was not supporting me at all in this pregnancy. He is not one to every give sympathy, it is just how he is, I am use to that, but I do need support. A "how are you feeling?" would not hurt occassionally! Anyway, I had it out with him, had a cry, and he has been better. Sometimes he just needs a whack in the head! LOL I don't think he had the bond I have with the baby that I have. I love it, and feel protective for it already, I don't think he feels that way yet. Hopefully once he feels it move, he will develop that bond.
I think I may have started to feel it move, but will give it a few more weeks to really believe it is my little bub kicking!
Having a quiet weekend this weekend. So better go and start enjoying it.
Jess - a big kiss to ME, and hope she is back to her normal self soon!!

I am in LOVE!
Yesterday was scan number 2, and we got to see a healthy little bub, measuring right on track. I was so relieved to see the heart beating away fast. We could see it's little arm and leg buds, the umbilical cord. It even did a bit of moving for us. I am in love ......
It is amazing how you can love something so much, and we haven't even met.
I asked DH if it made it more real for him now that he has seen it moving, and it's heart beating. He said 'It will make it more real for me when I see HIS head come out!' *rolling eyes* Men!! 10 more weeks till we find out if he will be having his much wanted Son. I am sure he will love a girl as much, and is stirring me more than anything, as I have seen him with his neice, he is putty in her hands LOL He is a blokey bloke though, so I am know he will be much more suited to having a Son. Me ... I don't mind, either way. I just want to be a Mum to a healthy baby!
As for me, I have been feeling remarkably well. Morning sickness seems to have gone about 2 weeks ago. Only symptoms seem to be a bit of heartburn occassionally, and a growing belly. I seem to have popped, and am carrying high. All my clothes are tight, and I am not sure how much longer I can get away with wearing normal clothes. Some of them have already been religated to the spare room closet.
I am finding it increasingly hard to concerntrate on work, luckily things have been pretty quiet for me. I am working from home again on Monday, as I have my 1st doctors appointment. I have officially graduated from my Fertility Clinic to my OBGYN after yesterday's scan! YAY!
It is our 3rd wedding anniversary in a few weeks, and I think DH and I might get away for a night and spend it in a swanky hotel in Sydney. Not that Sydney City is far away, but it is nice to be a tourist in your own City sometimes. Might be nice to have DH and I time for a weekend, since I think he has been feeling a bit neglected lately. He has had a lot on at work as well, so it makes it hard to spend time together.
I asked DH on the weekend if I was going to get something for Mother's Day this year (14th May) He said I am not a mother yet. HUH?? I think I am a mother to this child inside of me! He said that he is not a father, until the baby is born. mmmmm My boy sure has some funny ideas. So I guess I won't be expecting breakfast in bed on the 14th!
215 days till I become a Mother *wink wink*
Over and out for today!
Ohhh nearly forgot, He is the latest scan for anyone who hasn't seen it!

Meet the Blob
On Jessica's urging .... here is Bub's first pic
<
6 Weeks 2 Days
I had a nice trip away over Easter, we drove about 4 hours north, and stayed in a Caravan Park with my parents, and DH of course. I was lovely weather. The night time trips to the ammenities block were not fun though!!!
I have been feeling great the last few days, mmmm can I hope the morning sickness is over yet??? Seems to good to be true!
Mark and I have been debating names, Girls name are easy, we will Be naming her Erin. Boys are a bit harder, he has some strange Irish names that he would like .... Finbar, Fergal .... AHHH Hope he doesn't get those naming forms before me!! Our top names are Cole, Liam, Declan, Eamon. I like Cole the best, I think it is very manly. Cole Thomas ...
I did a bit of cleaning of the bub's future room, Mark thinks I am crazy getting it organised already, I have waited so long for this, I think I have the right to get excited about it!
Ok, Over and out for today ....

We did it!!
It felt like I was never going to say this, but ........
WE ARE PREGNANT!
I sort of knew it on the weekend, but DH would not even discuss it until today's confirmation by blood test! My beta result was 677! I am only 16dpo! twins????
I just seem so unreal to me. I am sure it will sink in eventually, Hopefully after the U/S on 12th April, I will be 6w 3days by then, so hopefully we will see a heartbeat/s ;o)
It seems like from as young as I can remember I wanted to be a mother, it was ALWAYS my dream, and it has been such a struggle to get here. MY GOD, I am going to be someones mother! mmmm I think I had better sign off before I start crying (I am at work LOL)
A special thank you to all my old online friends; Michelle, Jess, Robyn, Jo, Alicia. You have all been along for my ride nearly from the beginning! Thank you! Love you all!

Are we there yet??
mmmm today was a tiring today.
I was awake at 5am with the dog barking, Mark slept through it as usual! I then couldn't get back to sleep, I had to be up at 5.50am anyway, to get to the Clinic, for my blood test and HCG booster, and be at work by 8.30am
Fortunately Sydney Buses were on time! (VERY UNUSUAL!) and all was done in time
I got my Progestrone Test back this afternoon, I Have definitely Ovulated! yay! It was 53.8. I did a bit of research, (As I do!) and found that a level over 20-25 indicates ovulations, so I have to be happy with that. :o)
I am absolutely exhausted today, don't know whether it is the long hours of late, I worked till 9pm Friday night, and all day Saturday, it was really stressed as well, it was the 3rd Release of our Project, and all the Managers were hoovering around all the time saying 'have you finished yet?' NO I WILL TELL YOU WHEN I HAVE FINISHED! I threatened my immediate boss with a sharp pencil if he didn't leave me alone, standing over me DOES NOT make me work faster LOL. I don't think all the hormones help the situation.
My boobs are killing me, it has been hard to sleep, cause I usually sleep on my side or front, and when I roll over, I squash my boobs, and they kill. I though the HCG would have been out of my system by Sunday (8 days since the trigger shot), Hoping it is a sign that I am pregnant, even if it probably is a little to early, the little eggie will probably only be nestling in now if it fertilised.
Ok, over and out fortonight, I think it will be an early one!

The Two week wait is slowly driving me crazy!
Everyone seems to have a blog these days, so why not me :o)
Ok, so I took my trigger shot on Saturday, after a whole month of FSH shot, varying from 50iu up until 108iu. My poor arm is enjoying the break from being jabbed every day!
I am such a worrier, so many things have been running through my head since Saturday ....

I am such a worrier, so many things have been running through my head since Saturday ....
- Maybe the trigger won't work, and I won't Ovulate,
- Maybe DH and I should have BD in another position, LOL
- Maybe I should have had my legs in the air longer after BD LOL
- Maybe I have hostile mucus, and DH's boys are swimming nowhere
- If only we had BD Friday night as well .....
Gee I wish my mind would stop working for a second!
If my temp is up again tomorrow, I will get a Coverline which will confirm I ovulated on Monday, so about 48 hours after the trigger shot. I hope that both follies released, I am guessing they would have, as one was 15mm, the other 17mm.
I am going to attempt not to do a HPT until 26th March, most likely would be pointless before then, as I am having another trigger shot on Monday, and the HCG Would most likely still be in my system!
Ok, over and out for tonight ......
