Today we had another appointment with our OB Dr Bopp for our baby Squiggle. We got to see him/her briefly (we wanted to make sure we didn’t accidentally see the gender, even though it is probably too early to see on the doctors ultrasound) and checked my blood pressure. All is progressing well. Squiggle had [...]

Today I went along to QML pathology to have my glucose tolerance test done. Basically the test is 1 hour long where you have to drink a sugary drink that they give you and for the next hour you are not to have any other food or drink. They then do a blood test and [...]

It seems like time is just flying by, I guess that’s because I’ve been keeping very busy so all the weeks are going so fast! I’m also feeling a lot more prepared after last week, I think mainly because we have picked up some of the larger items for Addison such as his pram and [...]

I had another doctors visit today to check on Addi’s progress and mine of course. My blood pressure has been perfect for the entire pregnancy which is great news, yet again today it was the same as it has been for all my previous visits. My ob had a look at Addi and said that [...]

Today I am 23 weeks pregnant and the main thing that I have been noticing is the amount of movement I’m feeling of Addi. He doesn’t seem to sleep anymore, he’s always moving around in there having a good time I find it so incredible to feel him move, and it is the most amazing [...]

Today I am 22 weeks pregnant and I think I’m at that stage in the pregnancy where I’m more excited to be counting down than up! To think that in 18 weeks I will get to meet my little boy is just an amazing and thrilling idea. I can’t believe that we are nearly already [...]

Today I am 21 weeks pregnant and am feeling really good. I’m at that middle part of the pregnancy where I’m not too big yet that things are really uncomfortable and well and truly past all of those early symptoms of pregnancy. Even my sinus trouble seems to have settled down which makes sleeping through [...]

How exciting, not only do we now know that we are having a little boy but I have reached the half way mark of the pregnancy – 20 weeks to go!! Every moment from now is just amazing, I’ve started to feel Addison kicking me frequently everyday. The next 20 weeks are going to be [...]
