I couldn't believe when I logged in to the blog that it had been almost 2 weeks since I last posted, whoops!!
I received my scan disc from my 12 week scan last week and so decided to post them in to this posting too just for fun :)
Last night I was
lying on the sofa snuggling Shaun watching TV when I had a little
flutter in my tummy, I'm pretty sure that it wasn't gas!! It made me
giggly and gooey!! Shaun got to actually hear the heartbeat on Monday at
the Doctor's and loved it, beating at 134 per minutes it was nice and
strong and a reassuring thing to hear.
This couldn't be any more exciting!!
Shaun and I
were lying on the sofa, I had started to snooze when I felt this funky
feeling in my tummy, it was like a jellyfish motion (if you can imagine
that) moving across my tummy, It happened twice then faded away - At 15
weeks I'm wondering if this is possible, either way it made me giggly
and excited all the same!!
The sickness is finally fading and I'm starting to feel a little less cranky, much to Shaun's relief!!
Spring is in the
air, the rain has started and the grass is turning green, we are feeling
very blessed knowing that this year will be our last of everything
alone and we can start to get super excited about Baby Trickett's
arrival. We've even been considering Christmas in the New House with a
New Baby!!
I've included some bump pics from last week and this :)
Much love! xx
So today I had my second Maternity Appointment at Riley Park Maternity Clinic with the Sunnyside Group and I had a great time.
Unfortunately Shaun couldn't make it due to work but we had a great catch up when he finished work.
They checked my weight and I had only gain an ounce in the last 4 weeks, haha. So she wants me to attempt to gain some weight now, easier said than done when you want to puke every day!
I finally got to hear baby's heart beat - It was amazing! It sounded like a choo choo train, so beautiful! I cannot remember whether it was beating at 155 or 158 beats per minute but either way it was a nice strong heart beat.
The doc has prescribed me a pregnancy support belt for my back as it has been giving me a little trouble.
She also showed me how to fell the uterus which has now popped out of my pelvis and in to my tummy, hence the instant bump that seems to have protruded over night!! She also informed me that I have been moved forward, so officially 13 weeks pregnant yesterday - She said "Welcome to the Second Trimester". Big grins all round!
They have arranged to see me again on May 14th and we have our 18 week scan booked for May 28th! :)
Lots of love from the 3 of us xx
The scan was amazing!! Shaun and I watched in awe as our little stinker already should us it's stubborn side by tucking itself in to the corner! He gave us a few hand waves and enjoyed pushing himself off the side of my uterus with both feet. Very very comical to watch!
Unfortunately the Ultrasound Technician went home for the day whilst we were attempting getting the results from the Nurse after the scan so we received one printed image and the rest were taken by us on our phone. The CD with all of the other images is on it's way to us in the mail.

It's been 2 weeks since I last posted - eek! I have been so sick! Though it has eased the last 5 days or so thank goodness. I have been sleeping like a log and generally hibernating.
So we have made it to the 12 week mark and have our Ultrasound Scan booked for 3:15pm today. Will post some piccies later... watch this space!! xx
As if I am 10 weeks along today, how amazing is that? I never in my wildest dreams thought that I would make it this far, feeling very proud that with the help of Shaun I am where I am. This means only 2 weeks til 12 week scan today. That say will be one of the happiest of my life I know!!
Had a lovely text off Dad yesterday wishing my a Happy Mom to be Day UK style, which put a very big smile on my face :)
I brought a beautiful journal on Saturday, it will enable me to record my pregnancy and look back later on at the joys of this amazing time in our lives.
Reflux has hit me big time, irritating me no matter what I drink! :( I'm currently on a crumpet, bread and butter and everything else plain diet at the moment as the thought of all other food sickens me, never did I realize that food aversions would be this strong!! Apart from that all is well :)
Love from across the pond xxx
Wow... approaching 10 weeks this week and getting ridiculously excited, meaning only 2 weeks til our next scan. I thought I'd uploads some tummy pics. One some I am in my maternity pants which I am not wearing yet but they show the true shape of the tummy and the others are lying down :-)
I have been ridiculously sick the last few days and even had a 3 hour 'nap' yesterday!! I'll be a boring wife for the next few weeks still haha.
