Firstly, for those of you who have frequented my blog in the past, you will notice a definite change in the posts. This blog is now intended to keep our family and friends up-to-date on the status of our pregnancy! Yes, that's right, Graham and I are going to have a baby. Well, to be specific, I am going to have the baby :)
In May/June Graham and I took a holiday around Scotland, then to Stockholm and finally to London. It was quite the whirlwind trip and I found myself asleep in the car a lot. I figured it was because we had been doing so much walking and maybe a bit of jet lag. When we got back home I still felt really tired and my breasts hurt a lot and they seemed to have grown quite a bit...nice for some, not so great for me!
I had a feeling I was pregnant, so on my lunch hour I strolled up to Shopper's Drug Mart with my best friend Lisa. I bought a 2-test kit and legged it back to the ladies loo at work to take the test. The result popped up in the window almost instantly. I found myself stunned. I looked at the stick and then back at the instructions. Then looked at the stick and back at the instructions. I think I must have been in the bathroom for ages!
Lisa and I sit beside one another at work, so when I came back to my desk she turned around and looked at me with that, "Well?" look. Red-faced and sweaty, I nodded. Then her eyes went bigger and she nodded, then I nodded. We must have looked like a couple of weirdos, luckily people are used to that!
I told Graham when he got home from work and he went chalk-white, then beet-red and then smiled a huge silly grin.
The next morning, I took the second test with the same result - one line (positive). On the way to work I headed to the clinic across the road from my work and got another test done. Do you think I wanted to be sure? Again, a positive result!
Graham and I are thrilled, thus we decided to start this blog to share our happiness with all of you.
Thus far we have heard the baby's heartbeat and that was fantastic! In another month and a half or so, I will get my one and only ultrasound done.
I have been feeling really good for the most part. No morning sickness, just a few bouts of squidgy feeling when I smell bananas or try to eat macaroni and cheese.
By the way, February 1st is the predicted due date!
