Still Writing

I'm going to do my best to keep writing here during this tough time.
The last week has gone painfully slow. I only have one thing on my mind, and that is getting the test done and finding out the results.
I have been hitting up Dr Google pretty hard and I think this is doing me worse than good as I've read some awful horror stories which leave me depressed and contemplating the worst.
Note to self, no more googling random information about High Risk NT results.

This weekend we have a wedding 'celebration' out in the city. A  decent amount of my friends will be there. I've pretty much been off the radar for the last week,  so some of my friends have been texting to say they 'look forward to having a drink with me' (oh god) and are looking forward to seeing me. I am extremely tempted to just stay home tonight, but instead Hubby and I will just make an appearance and hopefully head off early. I am finding it very hard to muster up the appropriate amount of enthusiasm, especially for someone who just got married!
Well, right now I am 13 weeks and 2 days pregnant (my dates changed slightly at my last scan). I don't think I have too much of a bump to show to be honest (thank god). I weighed myself the other day and it turns out I haven't gained any weight. But to be honest, I haven't exactly had a raging appetite lately.

Have a good weekend, I'm off to finish my report cards. The goal is to stay super busy for the next 2.5 weeks

Bad News

Hi all,
Things haven't been going so smoothly lately. Unfortunately we've come back in the high risk category for chromosomal disorders after having our 12 week scan, so the last 5 days have been extremely teary, stressful and hard- to say the least. We're going to be having further testing to find out if everything is ok. Please cross your fingers and toes for me that things are ok! I probably won't be posting as much until after the test, because I'm really just trying to keep my mind off things.......

Scan Day!

I went to bed on Wednesday night feeling extremely sick, woke up an hour later and spent the next 5 or so hours running to and from the bathroom throwing up. I guess I must of had food poisoning or a stomach bug. I took Thursday off work to recover and just spend the day on the couch trying to drink lots and lots of water. I'm feeling much better today, but I'm also taking today off work, because today is.....
Scan Day!
I'm super excited, but also extremely nervous! My fingers and toes are tightly crossed that everything goes ok with our scan.
Our scan isn't until early this afternoon, so I am going to spend my day getting some much needed marking done (ugh) and maybe working on my school reports. Oh, I wish I had nothing to do and could just spend the day on the couch watching Gossip Girl and Oprah!

11 weeks!

I thought it was about time I updated with some pregnancy stats. I can't believe I am at 11 weeks, actually, yes I can. We still haven't told anyone (apart from Doctors etc) and keeping this secret is so diffcult! Well, I've never actually felt like I was about to let our secret slip, but it's so frustrating when I can't explain why I won't be having a big night out or whatever.
Our 12 week scan is on Friday (I'll be 11.5 weeks). We just called up today to make sure that wouldn't be too early as I really don't want to have to go twice and hence pay twice! Because we're going private we seem to have all these fees that  keep popping up everywhere. Fingers and toes are tightly crossed that everything looks good at this scan.
Ok, here are my pregnancy stats for Week 11!

Pregnancy Stats:
Weeks Pregnant: 11 weeks
Weight Gain: 2.2lbs/1kg (still the same, yeah!)
Current Symptoms: Pants are definitely getting tighter around the waist- have not had to buy any new clothes yet though. Occasionally grumpiness or emotional moments (like when I cried when Hubby dropped a box of my chocolates all over the carpet! lol)
Food Cravings: Healthy home made chicken burritos, oranges & OJ
Feeling: Excited but nervous about Friday. Pretty tired as always.

10 Week Picture!

Well there is my 10 week bump. I am exactly 10 weeks today! This photo was taken in the morning before breakfast while I was getting ready for work (hence the work skirt). Don't worry, I am wearing a loose fitting top in that picture which I just pulled up for the photo. I really don't think anyone at work has any clue!

So, on Sunday I had my 30th Birthday lunch (my birthday is actually tomorrow though) with about 30 friends. Everything went really well and Hubby did an amazing job of organising everything (including an oreo icecream cake- which was amazing!). The bar staff even knew that I was pregnant so they would serve me mocktails and everyone would be none the wiser.
There was just one problem.
One of my friends boyfriends, I think, is obsessed with pregnancy. He made jokes many many months ago about Hubby and I booking our Europe trip because it was our 'last hurrah' before having kids and so on. He even mentioned something about a womans cycles and so on. It got very annoying, fast.

Well, cue my 30th Birthday. The first thing he did was to try and get Hubby to spill our news by saying "Oh, she already told Jamie- his girlfriend- the good news", to which Hubby replies "What are you talking about?". Phew.
Secondly he started saying really loudly "So, are you going to announce the big news now" in front of everyone. Mind you, this guy doesn't even know I'm pregnant and is just being a complete jerk.
I tell him to stop being so stupid. Then it gets worse. He yells out "I bet that's not even alcohol you're drinking" comes over to my mocktail and takes a big sniff. "There's no alcohol in that!" he yells.
Luckily my birthday cake with candles lit on top came over at that point and everyone starting singing and drowned out the rubbish coming from his mouth. Well, I was just furious. And to really make things even worse, because Hubby knows all the bar staff, they inform him that the Jerk was snooping around beforehand, asking the bar staff what I was drinking and what was in my cocktail (well, mocktail)! Luckily they were in on it and listed off all sorts of alcohol. I am so so angry, but can't say anything just yet. I cannot wait to tell Jamie what a moron this guy is. How dare he try and ruin my 30th Birthday!

Anyway, apart from that the day was really fun, definitely a few close calls though!
