5/6 weeks

How far along ? 5/6 weeks. 6 weeks going off LMP but my calculations would make it closer to 5 weeks. Not sure what to go off. Size of Baby?  Pea. Weight gain? I've lost about half a kg which is good as I have more weight on me right now than I would like. Eating very healthy with fruit for snacks and vegetable soup for lunches but have had some dessert and chocolate.. Sleep? Ok just getting up to go to the toilet a few times and other sleep issues because of my neck/back not the pregnancy. Miss anything? Painkillers. Best moment of the week? Not sure. Food aversions? Not really - cooking the boys scrambled eggs made me feel sick the other day. Cravings? Nothing really. Gender? So far it doesn't feel the same as the boys pregnancies so maybe a girl?? Symptoms ? Bit sick, very tired, and headaches. Overall? The week went by quick as usual still don't really believe I'm pregnant.

I'm Pregnant!

This was completely not planned and a total shock! I'm 5 weeks exactly as per LMP today. I still can't believe it. We are happy about it, but I would have preferred to be a bit further along in my physio rehab. I'm just a bit apprehensive as to how my body will handle it. I will have 3 children 3 and under... We had originally planned if we actually had another one to wait until Liam was 3 and Cadell at school so this is a bit earlier than planned!! I've been up and down about it since I found out this morning, mainly up, but then having brief moments of panic regarding the birth, coping with 3 children so close together, family's reaction, my back coping, my fitness and weight not being great.... I haven't been feeling much symptom wise but what made me convinced I must be pregnant was the fact I was falling asleep while sitting upright on the couch at night!

Changes

I've decided to use this blog for a few different things. 1. Trying to keep me on track with things I need to do eg. To do lists, projects, goals.. 2. Documenting family life - day in the life posts, milestones, pictures, generally trying to keep track of these special moments. 3. Whatever else I wish to document/remember! 

Liam turns One

Our second boy turned 1 on the 20th of June. We had a little family party, just Gran and Pop, and Uncle Dan and cousin Max who also just turned 1. He seemed to have a lot of fun opening his presents and playing with everyone, and enjoyed a little bit of cake! He now has nearly 2 teeth, with at least 2 more on the way causing lots of pain. He is such a cheeky little boy and loves climbing. He loves figuring out how to put things together, cruising round furniture, has stood up a few times briefly by himself but no walking yet. At his 12 month appointment he was off the charts with height at 82cm, above average with weight at 11.38kg. He went well with his needles, barely crying. He still doesn't consistently sleep through the night but was getting more regular with it. He's been sick lately though so it's been a bit disrupted.
