Let me start by saying sorry that it has taken me so long to update…I know I promised to do it within 12hrs but as the title of this post says….better late than never huh?
Lot’s has been happening, not all of it wonderful so let me fill you in.
Life in General
(This is going to be loooooong)
- Heard bub’s heartbeat for the first time last Thursday, it was the most amazing experience ever. The midwife said it was really strong and I could not get over how fast it was….I knew something was in there but it feels so much more real now. Have my first ultrasound in 4 wks so really excited about that.
- I have done something to my knee – in between doctor appointments and a visit to the hospital today I have been laid up on the couch trying to stay off it – It all started on Monday but gradually got worse and then on Tuesday morning I could not walk so took the day off work to go to the doctor who gave me the rest of the week off work, sent me for an ultrasound on my knee and yesterday drained some fluid which has given me some relief. What I have done to cause my knee to swell is a mystery to me but it’s not looking real good…I have to have an MRI in 3 wks (as at this time it will be safe for bub) then a visit back to the hospital – but the reality of it all is if I have torn some cartilage which the doctors at the hospital think I have then nothing can be done till after bub is born cause I will need knee surgery….Me I’m just hoping it was just one of those things and it will fix itself and I will not have problems over the next 5 months, but the doctors are concerned that as I put on more weight it’s going to get worse…..guess time will tell.
- Harley (our one surviving dog) – had surgery last Monday to remove some lumps that were under her skin – one was sent away for analysis and came back that it was cancerous – when I heard that horrible c word again my heart was ripped in two – but luckly it was only a lump and the vet said he got good margins on it so he’s not concerned but we just have to keep an eye on her and take her back if we are worried about any other lumps that may appear.
- Our hearts are slowly healing regarding the loss of Chopper – he is home with us now – his ashes that is – and there is a sense of peace having him at home…strange I know but it just feels right.
- I caved and joined Twitter and I love it! My very clever DH put an app on my phone so I can check it from there…sooo cool. You can find me at http://twitter.com/MarniTelford
Scrapbooking
- Have found since being pregnant I have not really felt like being creative – I get urges every now and then but they don’t last very long so needless to say I have not really been doing that much creating of late other than my deadlines.
- Buzz and Bloom
- Kiti Q – I’m thrilled to announce that I have accepted a position on the Kiti Q team….recieved my first DT pack the other day and boy is it yummy…I got a heap of the new Sass stuff to play with and I am in heaven!
I hereby promise to update within the next 12hrs!
Is going to be really difficult.
He passed away fairly suddenly last night. He had a rapidly growing tumour in his tummy that we had no idea about and gave up his fight last night.
There is much sadness in our house today.
I am very excited to announce that my DH and I are expecting a baby!!!!!
I have know since I was 4wks so its been a long wait to tell everyone but I hit 12wks today and even though I know things can still go wrong I feel I can share now.
Bub is due in October….Health wise I have been fairly well, sick every morning but after that I’m ok. In the beginning I was tired beyond belief but it seems to have settled some…my boobs are huge!!! LOL and I’m hungry all the time!!!
I have not had any scans yet as I could pin point my last period and chose not to have Nuchal Translucency scan done so as long as everything stays normal not having one till I’m 18wks. Have booked into local birth centre…very excited about that and my first appointment is in 3 wks so the count down is on till I get to hear bubs heart beat….I am a little anxious…what if there is none but I think my fears are normal and I’m sure it will all be fine.
Anyway just wanted to share….will keep you updated.
