12w5d

Can't believe the title of this blog is 12w5d.... it's just amazing to even BE at that point! It's been nice being able to share it with the world now and so that means reality is hitting me and making it so much more amazing!!

Above is a pic of my tummy at exactly 12w. Certainly starting to "chunk up" around the middle, but not really showing as such yet. Contemplated this morning taking fortnightly photos, just for this blog, cause I'm not sure if there'll be lots of changes as this progresses or if monthly will be enough??? I suppose fortnightly gives me a closer milestone to look forward to!!

Have my next OB appointment next Tuesday which will be great! I'm secretly hoping to have another scan done but he might not see the need to do yet another!! Just love watching bub now and seeing the haertbeat and knowing everything is ok!
Should get the combined results (scan and bloods) for the NT screen. Have just been praying from the good can results that all is ok. And am sure I would have heard something by now if there was anything too much for concern?!?!

So, a potentially interesting development this morning and I KNOW I wasn't dreaming this!!! I was laying in bed waiting for DP to be out of the shower and enjoying my last 10 minutes in bed before getting up for work. I'd gotten up at 2:30am for a wee cause I was busting but was fine at 7:15am this morning. So, I was laying flat on my tummy, head buried in the pillow to avoid the light when all of a sudden I felt a funny "tickling" sensation alomst like a wave ran across the lower right side of my tummy - so much so that it made me roll over a bit to my side - then I rolled back to my tummy and it did it again!!! Now, I wouldn't have thought it was possible to feel anything yet but whatever it was, it sure woke me up and got me thinking!!! They say if you're a first time Mum, you don't usually feel anything until about 16 - 20 weeks, but I'm not sure if because I had twins up to 6 months, that I'm classed as a first time Mum or if that past experience would have any bearing on me being able to feel anything any earlier?!?!?! I will be taking plenty of notice over the next week or so to see if I feel it again though!!! Wow, imagine if it really WAS bub!!! Now THAT would be cool!!!

Woke up this morning with a sore throat too, but it seems to have mostly passed as the day has worn on. Am feeling a little bit snuffly and am assuming I've got a cold on the way! Spent Saturday with my best friend whose 14 month old has a rotten cold, so possibly have picked it up off him?!?! Was always bound to get one sooner or later!

Did Combat at the gym last night. Am starting to notice more of a change around my middle when I see myself in the mirrors at the gym. Funny cause I nearly forget I'm pregnant and think "sheesh, you're getting FAT!!" and try to work that little bit harder!!! Silly!! Have Pump tonight and Step tomorrow night. Can't do the new Attack launch on Thursday night cause I have a hair appointment - priorities!!!!! Am going to add more and more brown to my rather blonde hair so that I can stretch out the visits a little longer. Currently I go every 4-5 weeks thanks to stupid regrowth! Ideally I'd love it to be more like 8 weeks.

Have a busy Saturday night this week too. Have dinner out with friends, followed by an engagement party and then a 21st - all in the one night!!! Am glad to finally be able to tell people why I'm designated driver!! I MAY give the 21st a miss. It's just around the corner from our house and it's basically a big piss up in the backyard, nothing flash. So may drop DP around there and he can walk home when he's had enough and I can curl up in bed to keep up my daily sleep quota!!

Well, that's quite enough for one day! Didn't mean to write so much but just got carried away waffling!!

Ciao for now! :)
