So very sick. Goodness knows how much poor Daddy has spent on emergency trips to find possible 'cures'. Auntie Rosie is full of suggestions because she was very ill with her babies too.
Auntie Laura says that I just need to go to bed and let my body concentrate on baby making :) so in bed I am. I hate having the time off work but with no energy and vomiting a minimum of seven-eight times a day, I have little choice.
So between vomiting I cry, I assume from a combination of hormones and frustration.
Bleurgh.

Booking in...
This morning, the student midwife called about my booking in appointment. I was expecting a bit more than ten mins notice - I was in Wales!
Not a problem, we left Wales at 2.30pm and saw Karly Beasley, student midwife, at 4.15pm.
My notes are all completed and I have pamphlets about everything I could possibly imagine. Sorted.
My antenatal appointment has come through too, 5 August at 9am.
Coupled with the seemingly ever present nausea, it's finally sinking in :o)

Nanna
Yesterday, we drove from Granny's in Sawbridgeworth to Daddy's mum's in Caerleon. Daddy wanted to tell her our news and we wanted to do it in person. Needless to say, she's absolutely thrilled - smiling like the proverbial Cheshire cat, exactly as we'd hoped. She has also let us know she would like to be known as Nanna to her first and all subsequent grandchildren.
This is excellent news. My mum is already established as Granny with her other five grandchildren so I was a little concerned but fear not!
She can't wait to be able to tell people :o)

Cute
Today Daddy gave me a kiss and said he loved me before he left for work and then did the same to my belly.
Lovely.
Lovely.
Week 5
Two days into week five and I'm feeling nauseous pretty much all of the time. I have discovered that I can use cheese and whole wheat crackers and fizzy water to alleviate the symptoms a little but I might have to get used to the feeling for a while. The only thing that makes me uber sick is brushing my teeth - which I kinda have to do...
I have sent Daddy on the first mission for supplies; he got me stuff for today's anti sick attempt.
Oh and I'm hungry almost all the time but most of the time, I can't work out what I want to eat! Useful!

Bleurgh
Because I said yesterday evening I wasn't experiencing any major symptoms, this evening I feel sick as a sick thing and had a random weepy moment when I got home from work. Rubbish!
On a nice note, I met my community midwife today. The plan was to pop in for a sample pot (my surgery doesn't believe you're pregnant when you say you are so you have to pee in a pot for the hospital to test) but the midwife was in and asked to see me. I have my exemption application form, I've been booked in with Birmingham Women's and the midwife and I have a coupon information book thingy. Oh and I was 20mins late back from lunch. Oh! And I should have an appointment with her trainee on Sunday and then I have an appointment with her again at 16 weeks - I have a date but no time. I did ask but I still don't seem to have the time. I'll worry about that closer to the time :o)
I also have due date number two - 25 February 2011.

Four weeks and counting...
18 months of trying and it's finally happened: our first baby is on its way. This blog will serve as my journal, some posts so I remember and some soppiness dedicated to our little one.
We found out I was pregnant on Monday 14 June 2010 (the day my period was due). I'm usually regular but I don't think I was actually expecting it to say 'pregnant' - I didn't even tell Daddy I was taking the test. As soon as the test said pregnant I called him (read hollered) and he was up the stairs before the conception indicator thingy popped up to say 1-2 weeks (that's from conception, so 3-4 weeks preganant). 3-4 weeks fits in with my dates nicely and it also explains why I was a bit teary when AC\DC and Aerosmith came out at Download... We found out just before a week in Croyde Bay so plenty of time to get used to the idea and rest. Lovely.
I'm not sure it's sunk in just yet (even though I've taken four pregnancy tests since and they've all been positive) but my tummy is still getting lots of attention from me and from Daddy. Today's pregnancy test (Sunday 20 June) tells me 3+ weeks from conception (5+ weeks pregnant), which is quite clever in less than a week.
It's so early, we're keeping it to ourselves - of course, that means I've told Granny and Papa, Auntie Rosie, Auntie Laura, Auntie Kerry and Auntie Hannah. Everyone is very excited and keeping everything crossed.
Nothing overly exciting to report on the symptom front just yet: tired, sore boobs, overly sensitive nipples, I feel rubbish if I don't eat regularly and nauseous in the evenings.
I need to call the surgery tomorrow morning and get booked in.
