Hello out there!

Testing if my blog still works and if anyone reads....its been a long time since I've been in this space.

My Little One

She's here!!

Amelia Grace was born Mon 5th July at 8.03 pm, weighing 3.57kg. 50 cm long. Mum and Bub are doing well . We are so thankful for this little miracle! I am truly amazed that our tiny little frozen embryo has grown into this tiny little perfect human :-) 

My waters broke on Sunday 6th at 7am in morning. Admitted to hospital Sunday night 7pm for antibiotics in case of infection. 

Monday morning 10ish  I was induced. Spent the rest of the day in active labour-mostly in the shower. Checked at 5ish and no progress. Given epidural. I still felt some strong pushing pains in pelvic floor area. After being checked by midwife and Ob it was decided that my cervix was doing strange things, babys body and head was in a wrong position and an emergency caesarian was recommended.

Amelia was born at 8.03pm via caesar. She had the cord around her neck 3 times so would of been very unlikely to birth naturally as it was acting like a bungee cord holding her back. 

I thought everything about the labour and birth was amazing! I wouldn't change a thing...

She is beautiful and healthy! We love her so much! 

We go home from the hospital tomorrow....then I will post some pics in the next few days

34 weeks - Baby Shower

It has been a long long time since I last posted! Not sure where the time has gone. At times the pregnancy has gone soooo slowly but at others it has gone quick! Overall everything had been going well- except for an annoying pregnancy rash that lasted about 3 weeks (but we won't go into that!) 

I am 35 weeks now and on the home stretch. Everyday I hope and pray that all continues to go well - I can't wait to have my little bubba in my arms! 

19w6days and a lovely surprise.....

We had our morphology ultrasound yesterday at 19w5d. I have been feeling so nervous about it but thankfully all looks good. My placenta is low so I will have to go back at 32wks to check it out again. i am so relieved to have the scan behind me! It was wonderful seeing my little bubba on the screen kicking and moving around. 


We found out the gender of baby and tonight my family came over for dinner and this is what I made for  for desert! 

                          White Chocolate Mudcake with a little  surprise in the middle........

Thats right - you see pink

It's a GIRL!!!!!!!

I have thought all along it would be a boy - although I had no preference at all- So I was shocked when she pointed to the 3 lines and named all the girlie parts. I was overwhelmed with tears of happiness. We are so so happy with our little daughter!!

It is now starting to feel more real - there is really a baby in there !

more pics to come

This took forever to upload and I loaded lots more but it didn't work.....more to come as soon as I figure out what went wrong 

Oh my goodness, I can't believe how long it has been since my last post! I'm so sorry I have been away from  the blogosphere for so long! The last month has gone by in a blur.

Everything with the baby is going well so far - today is 12w2days.

Today I made it public on Facebook...wasn't sure whether to do it as I have cried many tears over reading friends announcements in the past. In the end I thought it was the easiest way to let people know. For some reason I have found it hard telling people - I think i'm still scared that It might not be real.

The last few days I have been feeling so much better physically. I have loved all the pregnancy symptoms (maybe loved isn't quiet the right word) but the complete lack of energy in the last fews weeks was starting to get hard to deal with.  I have been totally obsessing over my symptoms or lack of on some days. Nausea, tiredness, food aversions, cravings and sore bb's have all been my constant friends lovingly reminding me that i'm pregnant ...

Hope you had a Happy Christmas!

Will update again soon with some pics from our holiday to a beautiful island...
