babytays up until now..

I’m wishing I had started this blog earlier as I have had so much to share. I’ll try and take a quick look back at what has happened so far..

20th Oct 2008
I woke up and just had a sudden thought “oh lets do that pregnancy test in the drawer” very random and if I had thought about it I would have left it until I got home from work, not at 8.30am in the morning! Results came up positive, so was on the phone to Mr T straight away to let him know I had already got his birthday present… a baby! As his birthday is the 7th July, around 9 months after conception.. or so I thought.

Next was a quick text to my pal Nat as I knew she was jetting off on hols and for some strange reason never takes her mobile and I couldn’t possibly have waiting til she got back!

It wasn’t until later in the day I suddenly thought… my god how much sambuca had I drunk the week before, celebrating the success of an event I manage a4uexpo, oops!!

I promise Mr t I wont tell a single person (doh) about the baby as its bad luck before 12 weeks 

I just can’t keep it in anymore.. I need to tell Cath the exciting news plus I want to borrow her baby books and talk in detail to a female who has already been through it, so over to Cath’s I pop for a cup of tea after work.

First trip to the see the midwife, was given the brightest orange book you can imagine, not very discreet, in fact it just spells out LOOK AT ME, I’M PREGNANT! But if I’m honest by this time me being pregnant is the worse kept secret in Europe, apart from at work where I’m determine not to let on until 12 weeks.

Ok, ignore my last sentence today I told my boss, mainly cos I spend most the morning outside throwing up, umm nice, and then did the typically girly thing of busting into tear when he asked if I was ok, to which I replied “I’m pregnant, please can I go home cos I feel ill” He’s a bloke so of course he did not argue at this stage.

I continued to be ill for the rest of the day, I think this could be a bug though as I haven’t actually been sick through the pregnancy, just felt sick

27th Nov 2008
Time to return to work and face the music, after not seeing my boss since confessing I’m expecting.

5th Dec 2008
Scan day!!! Mr T and I make our way up to St Michaels for our dating scan, I am now 10 weeks. It is amazing, its only 30mm long but it was waving out to us, or so I like to think.

Totally gutted they don’t allow you to have photos though!!

My due date is confirmed as the 29th June.

Christmas
My first T Total Christmas in about 12 years and oh what a boring time it is when everyone else is getting p*ssed!

Not helped by the fact that the sickness has returned with revenge, woke up Boxing Day and didn’t keep a thing down until New Years day.

Final straw was New Years eve, we had plans to go out with Mark & Becky, my fellow fat pregnant friend for a civilized Chinese but was still feeling terrible, in fact the girly water works started again when I text to say we had to cancel. Mr T made me call the doctor who asked me to come up straight away and gave me a check over before prescribing what I can only describe as my magic pills. One pill and I’m zonked on the sofa by 6.30pm, briefly surfacing at 9.30pm for a drink and then I’m off to bed for what was the best night sleep I had had for approx 3 months. The tablets are my new best friend, oh plus I haven’t been sick!

Not so good an evening for hubby who for the first time in probably 20 years has had a T Total New Year, although he said he felt better for it the next day. I think he was just trying to make me feel better.

Since New Years I’m still sick every morning at about 8am but have had decent nights sleep so can live with that!

so that brings you up todate to where I am today…
