some preggy shots

So, most of you would have seen these pictures in FB already but I still would like put it here anyway, seriously i'm ballooning ha ha! but i love everything that's going on with my body at the moment, even the not so good one<:) yeah well i've waited so long to see my tummy grow and i am so grateful for this experience, at one stage i thought that i will never ever experience it, but here i am with a round tummy, what a blessing indeed <:) I love my baby bump and i love the baby itself, we can't wait to meet him. In two weeks time or so, we're going to have a 4D scan and we're so looking forward to seeing him again, January seem so far yet so close <:)

6 months mark update

Last Monday i went for my monthly antenatal check, they measured my tummy (Fundus i think, listen to bubs heartbeat and every other normal routine they do every visit) Chad wasnt able to come with me this time as he's working, baby is good and everything else is good, In the next 4 weeks i will have a bloodtest for my glucose and iron levels. Chad and I decided that we will do a non diagnostic 4D ultrasound around the same time as well, so we're looking forward for that. How's mum doing you may ask? I am doing great, just growing bigger and rounder fast.. a few people seem to think that i'm having twins, but we know that we only have one baby boy in there <:) I think people sometime forget that i'm just a little person so i guess the weight gain has got nowhere else to go but my tummy and everywhere else they can go in my body<:) but if i'm 3 to 4 inches taller, than maybe i would look a bit different (not so round) ha!

Chad's birthday bash

Chad turned 30 on the 3rd of October, but we celebrated his birthday on the 2nd of October as Chad started playing cricket again, friends and families has joined us and everyone had a blast especially Chad, they played AVP Laser tag at DreamWorld (it's in a theme park) we rented the place for 2 hours <:) here are a few pictures that night..

We are being blessed

After a few hoops that Chad had to go through, he finally got a job. We are so thankful, I am so proud of him, he's almost finished school as well which is a perfect timing because our baby is due in January. We are very excited for our little baby boy, we know he's gonna be so much fun to have in our home. We are so grateful for all the blessings that we receive each day.

It's better late than never

I have been meaning to post some pictures of our latest scan but it's been so crazy lately, well.. First I'm always tired, second I'm always tired lol<:) and 3rd I'm always tired or i am just lazy boohoo!!, still haven't even re-sized our photos from our U.S holidays too..I know it's not an excuse >:( anyway this is like almost 3 weeks late but it's better than never posting it right?? some are a bit Blurry but i trust your visual ability and imagination lol..

 
 
 
 

It's a Chad Mini Me

We found out on Friday afternoon that we are going to have a boy, I have an instinct that it's a boy in there but Chad thought that it's going to be a girl, I am happy regardless, as long as it's a healthy baby in there:) Chad however has gotten to the idea that he's getting a girl first, so he was kinda sad>:) well not so much sad but was in shocked when the Radiologist told us and showed us that it's definitely a BOY, He wanted a have a Daddy's little girl so bad lol<;), but he's happy now, most of our friend told him that he should be jumping up and down that it's a boy lol! as most dad normally want's a boy first...anyway everything is great and the baby is doing good:) I have however a slight heart murmur so i am going to have a Cardiograph to check my heart (a non invasive ultrasound) I hope that everything will be fine..and i know i'm going to be fine:) I'm just getting bigger i guess so i'm out of breath:) We are both very excited to see the bub through the monitor, he was so active, i think he didnt like the ultrasound so much as he kept on covering his face<:) I love my baby already and i love talking to him..Now Chad will just have to get used to calling him a He and Not a she when he speaks to him:)

Tomorrow is the day, hopefully

Tomorrow is when we find out the baby's gender, and we hope that the baby cooperates:) i have been talking to the baby to be nice when we do the ultrasound, so i hope that He or She hears me and listens to mummy<:) It hasn't been easy for me but i still do enjoy every moment of it whenever i can, i seem to experience all the symptoms there is in pregnancy but i am really grateful that i am carrying this precious gift:) here's the latest pic of my tummy. We will let you all know as soon as we find out, so hang on there!!

Four and a half months

I've been meaning to post some preggy pictures here but i havent got around to it, i havent even uploaded any of our photos from our holiday in the U.S., i'm not that busy because i'm not really working much anymore, i am just lazy:) anyway eventually there'll be some pictures posted here:) Next week we're going to have a morphology scan so we'll let you know about the baby's sex..maybe i'll have the pictures ready then..until then...

Four months along and going good..

Yesterday was my 4 months mark of the pregnancy, I feel so heavy already i've gained 3 kg already and i still have 5 months to go.. i'm petrified of how many kilos am i going to put on altogether..on the other side i shouldn't be so paranoid because it's apparently normal to put on weight while youre pregnant boohooo!!, I shouldnt be whingeing really, i should be happy that i'm pregnant:) i guess it's all about how look at things, I just hope that this pregnancy will continue to be healthy and well..I guess i will have to do something about the weight issue later after the bubby's born:) I dont know why am i writing this on here, but i feel like it:) so yeah..keep reading and stay tune for my irene's whingeing ha ha!! kidding..till my next blog:)

A reason why you should not be driving if you're tired!

The day we got back from the states, my brother and sister in law put on a BBQ for us, they live about 20 minutes away from where we live, on the way to their place, traffic was so heavy that at one stage we sat on one spot for about 20 minutes (not moving and i'm not kdding) we have to turn our engine off -- yeah really bad (there was an accident and because of the road works it made it even worse), so when we got to their place we were starving..way pass my dinner time, and being pregnant didnt help too, hunger made me feel even sicker:(. We had fun that night although we're very tired and jet lag, so after catching up we decided to go home, Chad was driving fine, until we're about 3-4 minutes away to our house when he said he's really tired, well his tiredness also affected his judgement because when he saw the lights turned amber, he sped through it before it turns red, but then he realized that he wasnt gonna make it, so he slammed his brake.... and then decided to go through the red light anyway (crazy driver!!-:) and then it was too late when he noticed the cop car close by, suddenly he's awake!, and then he said "Oh crap i'm gonna get a fine", well he kept driving but he's convinced he's going to be pulled over, the cop car followed us for about 1 kilometre then he flashed his lighst and sure enough he pulled us over "way to go Chad"!!
Cop: I pulled you over for a random breath test mate!
Chad: oh okay no worries mate:), - I thought the cop's first question should have been: Cop: "I pulled you over because you went through the red lights" (but he didnt)..So he asked Chad to do the test and the reading came up - then of course the reading came back zero because there's no trace of alcohol..good thing we dont drink..:) so the cop probably thought that the alcohol meter was faulty so he asked Chad to give it another try so he did, and the result was the same, this time he's convinced that Chad wasnt drunk ha ha!! If i was the cop, i would have probably thought that he was drunk too ha ha!, seeing how he went through the red light, I'm just glad that he wasnt pulled over for that matter:) Phewww!! So yeah the lesson here is that: DONT DRIVE IF YOU'RE TIRED:)
