2009-09-02T05:24:00.000-07:00

Well our little babe is just too cosy in her little home. Due date has been and gone, and I'm feeling great!! Ad has finished work now too, so we've been getting stuck into the gardening and spring cleaning. Enjoying these last few days (except leg/bum pain, which has given me a limp) Been cooking and baking, our freezers are all stocked with ready home made meals to keep us going for a few weeks. Had a checkup today, Ayla's HB is strong and she's in position ready to meet her Mummy and Daddy. Ad's guess is tomorrow and mine is Friday, shall see how intune we are!! Will try and get one last belly shot up tomorrow, as surely i cant get tooooooo much bigger :)

Meet Jainie & Dale

Ive had Jainie for many many years and she was great company for Dale the night i babysat him for Acaesiah. Dale is an micro-chipped doll that is used in high schools to teach what a real baby is like. I must admit, he was quite the handful. Well done Acaesiah on a 96% report from his time with you!!

19 Week Scan

2009-04-14T23:48:00.000-07:00

She's a GIRL!!!!! After an hour of keeping her legs crossed during the scan, our little girl gave us a quick peek. She is very active and i can clearly feel her moving around, she is very awake in the afternoons, and when i first wake in the morning. Its the most amazing feeling ever!!

All set up

2009-03-23T23:20:00.000-07:00

We have been sooooooo lucky, Ad's cuz Cassie has lent us a bassinet, bouncer, sterilzer and heaps of clothes and wraps. We picked up a matching changetable, cot, mattress and loads of linen from a friends of Mum's for a bargain, which Mum paid half of for us. She also gave Mum a 2 year old, 3 wheeler pusher for FREE with rain and shade cover!! We already had a pusher that we'd bought from a work collegue when Xavier was born. Auntie Rachy has lent us a sling, and been a wealth of knowledge, and a also gave us a very cute Sprout 00000 outfit. Auntie Dorota has lent us a Snugli carrier, play mat and some toys. My old teddies and books have come out of storage, mind you Ad thinks my bunny and Sammy the lammy are a bit freaky looking!! Auntie Loni & Uncle Rory gave us a Palmers pregnancy pack, Auntie Tan gave us some cute rompers and a snuggly soft blankie, Nana Rauch gave us some 00000 outfits and socks as soon as we found out. Lisa and Shaun have donated a car seat. Like i said, we have been extremely LUCKY!! Thank you soo much every one xxxx

12 week scan

2009-03-09T23:16:00.000-07:00

Wednesday 18th Feb 09 we went back for another scan to measure the nuchal fold. We had the fabulous Gary this time. He was GREAT!! A massive difference from our first scan. He was pointing everything out for us, printing photos like crazy, and labelling them for us. Half way through he let me release a full bladder........ahh relief! He had me turning left and right, and coughing to get the baby to move around. I'd also had a choc quik this morning, so i think this may have increased baby's mobility somewhat!! Very very active today, lots of kicking and arm waving. Bub is now 6.2cm, grown a whopping 2cm in just 1 week!!!! 1st pic is profile of face and one waving hand, 2nd pic is long kicking legs and you can see baby's ribs too, pic 3 is laying with arms crossed over head (just like cousin Xavier sleeps!)

Our 1st Scan

2009-03-09T22:44:00.000-07:00

On Monday 9th Feb we were scheduled to have, what we thought was our 12 week scan. So after downing 500ml of water and holding for 1 HOUR, we set off to see our baby for the first time. We were both really excited and had been looking forward to this day for a few weeks now, as you can imagine. We had borrowed a video camera and were looking forward to taping the scan and the sound of the heartbeat. After a short wait we were called in and i was squirted with gel. We had a really grumpy young girl performing the scan, she wasnt very pleasant at all. She told us the baby was too small (i freaked out) then she added too small to be 12 weeks, and she decided we were only 11 weeks (okay Ami baby is just fine). She was getting annoyed because she couldnt take the measurement she needed as baby needed to be 4.5cm and was only 4.09cm, so she sent me to the bathroom to release half of my bladder!!! (easier said than done) After waitng for another 20mins she called us back, pushed on poked around a bit more, but still no smile on her dial. We were asking "is that our baby's arm, leg etc?" I asked if we were able to hear the heartbeat, after a big sigh, huff and a puff she agreeed. Wow what an amazing sound, a strong 153 beats per minute, PERFECT. Ad jokingly said "so it only has one head then?" She answered with "I cant tell you anything with the baby this size, you'll have to wait till your next scan" Geez, no sense of humour in this one!! Anyhow she wouldnt let us video the scan due to legal ramifications (yeah like we could sue her for being HORRIBLE!) After another huff n puff she agreed to print us a picture, after stating "you wont be able to see anything anyway" So here we have the very first picture of our baby to start the album. Head on the right. How cute :)

9 weeks pregnant (we think!!)

2009-01-18T19:01:00.000-08:00

To keep you all informed of our progress, and as a journal for ourselves, please stay tuned to this page for progress reports.

We are due for our first scan on Monday 9th Feb 09, so will then be able to show a pic of our babies development, and confirm how far along we are. I'm anticipating Baby will join the outside world around 24th August 2009, hoping for a Monday as 'Monday's child is full of Grace'.

At the moment Baby is about the size of a Martini Olive and is due for a massive growth spurt this week, currently weighing in at 1-1.5grams!!

Baby's spine is starting the straighten out and its bones begin to develop. Baby's tiny heart is beating around 150 beats per second!!!
