7 Week Scan

Kidney Bean Scan...at Uncle Kevin's request!

11 week bump

The news is out!

So finally you all know our wonderful news. It's been hard keeping it a secret for the past 6 weeks or so, but it has also has given us some time to get used to the idea ourselves before broadcasting it! Our due date is around 28th April, which means I have to endure a pregnancy through the build up and wet season- the hottest time of the year in Darwin (it was 36'c over the weekend). I have had my first scan (at 7 weeks) and am due for my next appointment and second scan on 26th October. I would load a photo of the first scan but it looks like a cross between a smudge and a kidney bean so I will wait until the next one when hopefully it will look a little more human!
I have been really lucky so far with little to no symptoms...tiredness and that's about it. Although Rob seems to think that's just my excuse to lie around and do nothing! Sounds funny, but I almost wish I did have some symptoms as it doesn't quite feel real. Although I know I shouldn't say that as pregnant women worldwide who have had their heads in the toilet for the past 2 months will be cursing me. My main "symptom" right now is my ever expanding waist line which seems to be enourmous already. I have to keep rembering to do my trousers up before getting out of the car...

Our other good news is that we are getting a pool installed (thank god!) which should be all in just in time for my birthday hopefully. We are just waiting on a house valuation on Monday which is to secure the loan and then we can get it all paid for and they can come and put it in! I will post some pictures when they start.

I'm going to tell work the news next week (before anyone else guesses) so wish me luck. They're not going to be too happy!

Love to you all xxxxxxxxxxxxx
