I am currently 6 weeks and 3 days pregnant, or maybe 6 weeks and 4 days - I have 2 different tickers and they are a day out from each other, doh.
I thougth I had got away with the sickness and tiredness for some twisted reason, but I haven't. I definitely didn't feel this sick when I was pregnant with Louis. I've even been sick a couple of times, which I never was last time, and I hate because I really really really dislike being sick. Well, I can't imagine anyone particularly likes it, but it's just one of my things that I worry about. What if I need to puke while Im on the train? Urgh. I have been feeling soooo sick that I honestly could cry. Nothing I do seems to help - tried doing nothing, tried doing more, ginger, eating little and often etc etc - nada.
I have also gone off one of the things I most like, tea. My stomach is turning even thinking about it now. I just long for cold freshness in my mouth - lemonade, cucumber, apples, tomatos, frozen grapes.
I do realise that I am VERY lucky to be blessed with a baby in my tummy, so it's all worth it, but just BLEURRRRGH!
I can't remember if I said in my last post, that at the doctors I had a choice of 2 different hospitals... well the GP put me down for one, but then after I went home and researched I decided I wanted to go to the other and so called the surgery to inform them. Then this week I received a scan date through, but for the wrong hospital! I rang the doctors surgery and it looks like my change of hospital hasnt been processed and no record of it! They told me to cancel the scan, but Im going to hold onto it until I get a date through from the right hospital. I dont want to go without because of their error.
In other news, Jack passed his first Knowledge exam and will be starting his appearances in January, this is where the excitement (and stress, yay) starts!

I'm Baaaaaaaack!
So much has happened since I last posted... well obviously, it's been over 2 years!
Louis is an absolute dream, a really lovely little boy - he talks lots, behaves well (most of the time!) and sleeps well too. He's really got his own little character now, very very cute!
I went back to work 2 days a week, and then a few months later went back to full time. For the past 2 weeks I've gone back down to 3 days a week as the industry is pretty slow at the moment. I have taken up photography as an interest and hope to pursue it as a little sideline career.
Jack has been doing the Knowledge, and has his first test next week, it's all very exciting.
The house is fine, still not anywhere near finished, but hey, we have a home - it's all good!
The other news is that I'm pregnant again! We found out last Tuesday (11th November). I woke up feeling really sick, and so I did the one pregnancy test that I had laying around...
I was concerned it was rather feint so went and bought another one, to be sure. Luckily it was a day I was at home, so I could do all the faffing about I needed to! I rang Jack and told him not to get his hopes up but I'd got a feint line... I did the other one at Sainsburys, couldn't wait to get home!
I know that last time I tried making it special with the whole suspence and socks thing, but I just couldnt manage it this time round! I rang him up straight away to tell him the good news. Obviously we are both over the moon.
I had my booking in appointment at my surgery yesterday. She told me my due date is 20th July, but I think I have worked them out properly, so I will stick with 26th July unless the scan says otherwise. I have to choose between 2 hospitals, neither of which I know very well. Tough decision and I don't know how to make my mind up.
We've told our family and will tell close friends as and when the time is right. We've decided not to tell Louis until after the 12 week scan just incase anything goes wrong (touch wood it doesnt of course). I can't wait to tell him though, eeeek, he's going to be a big brother!

Just to let you all know that we are still here, just really havent found the time to sit and write here regularly. The office i being used as a kinda storagey room at the moment, and we have no desk yet - I am typing on a keyboard resting on my lap, and looking at a screen propped up on boxes!
Louis is doing really well, putting on weight well and sleeping through the night (yay!)
Anyway, must be off, hopefully be back soon!

Fatty Boom Boom
Did you notice, when I was first pregnant I was updating this every day, and slowly, over time, how little time I am getting to update? That's babies for you! Well, I'm lying a bit... we've moved into our house (hooray) and have no internet connection there as yet, so even if I had had the chance, I couldn't have!
We've all been fine, and last week met up with the other Mums & babies from my NCT class, it was nice to get out of the house, ,to have adult conversation in the day time, and talk to people who's kids are the same age, kinda like comparing notes! I HAD to buy some clothes too - I know it should be an insentive to loose weight and get out of my maternity clothes, but it's just too hot. I'd gone up in top size which I imagined as my boobs have ballooned, but my bottoms I have gone from a size 10 to a 14, how annoying! The other annoying thing is that as much as I want to have my old figure back, I keep craving Bounty's and McDonalds.
We went out yesterday to town and I put Louis in his sling, I caved in and had that new Chicken Summer Deluxe, and I spilt the sauce on the carrier - serves me right and just made me feel even more guilty for having it - it was minging anyway!
Louis' grown more; he's been wearing his first 0-3 month outfits and has moved up to the next size nappies.
When I subscribed to Mother & Baby magazine I was asked if I would ever consider testing any products for them. I said yes, and last week got an email asking whether or not I was breastfeeding & expressing - I replied yes, and this week have been bombarded with packages to test for their awards... 4 pumps, 5 different type of anti-colic bottkes, and 2 sterilisers!

21 Days Old
The health visitor weighed him today - he's 9lb 5oz already! Better dig out those 0-3 month clothes!
What a life!
19 Days Old
We went to visit our new house and wait for some deliveries. Louis wasn't interested in the England World Cup match, he preferred having a snooze
16 Days Old
Here's Louis after a nappy change. He doesnt like being changed but is very calm afterwards when he's all clean and fresh!
14 Days Old
He's having a swaddled snuggle with his grat grandma here, 14 days old. You can see a lot of the chub has now gone.
13 Days Old
Louis lurves his milk - here he's chilling out with mummy post-feed when we visited his nanny & grandad
11 Days Old
Sometimes when he's sleeping, Louis opens one or both of his eyes slightly, which really freaks us out!
10 Days Old
Nanny Sue and Louis are having a cuddle in the picture above. In the one below, Louis is copying his daddy.
8 Days Old
We didn't take any pictures of day 7 for some reason, but here are Louis and Daddy on day 8 having a sleepy snuggle.
6 Days Old
Louis was in a bit of a state, then my little sister starting practising her recorder, and it had a mesmerising effect on him! By the way, that's my Mum holding him - I can only wish that someday, I too will be that tanned!
Knowing he liked being wrapped up, and a couple of barely-sleeping nights, we decided to try swaddling...
And here are his little tootsies!
5 Days Old
Jack's Mum had bought a clothes set from Next... Jack wanted to see if they fitted, so here's Louis dressed in his dungarees with no top on underneath, day 5!
4 Days Old
Louis' grandparents came to visit on day 4 (Jack's parents), they couldn't wait to see him!
