Have to run off to my yoga, so I'll reply later BUT

IT'S ULTRASOUND DAY! The day of the big announcement! We have finally spread the news and it's the greatest feeling ever. I feel SOOO HAPPY!

Beanie was spectacular this morning. Ah, takes my breath away. So so wiggly, using arms and legs to push off and roll around and wave... so gorgeous! It feels so real now - I can't wait til I can feel it!

Here's a pic of Beanie waving hello to you all! My greatest cheer squad! :grouphug: I was a bit shaky taking the picture, hehe.

Yay! Ultrasound - so exciting!!! Remember that the pregnancy hormones can cause havoc with your joints and ligaments - so old injuries can flare back up. It can start as early as 12 weeks in. Really listen to your body and don't push it.

Good job on the writing!
 
A:hurray: :hurray: :hurray: :hurray: :hurray: :hurray: :hurray: :hurray: :hurray: :hurray: :hurray: :hurray: :hurray:

I bet you can guess how totally squeally i was when i read your post!!!!!! I am so so pleased all went well and YAY, you can tell everyone!!!!!!

I have never seen so many comments on something on facebook. You guys are so loved. :)

You will feel so different now that you don't have to lie anymore. :)

I have an app on my phone that lets me look at the forum, but not comment, and i checked it in my coffee break for the first time ever, i only sometimes look in my lunch break if i'm bored. I really didn't expect you to have posted anything yet and was so excited that you had.......AND put the cutest little picture of Beanie sucking his thumb on there. Squeally, squeally!!!!!

So so pleased for you darling :party:
 
ANAWW thanks guys!

Ijustwanna - yeah, you are totally right. I can feel it already... my friend had big problems with it, so I'm definitely taking it easy with stuff like that. Thanks for the tip!

KatieHotBuns - :hurray: You always make me giggle. HOW INSANE IS FACEBOOK?!?!?! My god. I wonder if that many people would actually ever have even BEEEN on facebook, let alone decided my big news was important enough to comment on! I am totally floored by it. Dunc says he might just write four comments there himself so we can get it to a hundred comments.... CRAZY MAD!!! I think perhaps because we are away from home, people must really have not expected it.

And I LOOOOOVE Beanie's picture!

NaNoWriMo is National Novel Writing Month - an American based thing that spread internationally about 5 years ago. The aim is to write 50 000 words in a month... but I joined more for the motivational tools they give and stuff, and to give me a kick start back into it again. I've been too focused on house and baby and all that jazz.

Well sorry I haven't had time to write on anyone else's diaries at the moment... there are friends of ours visiting (AGAINN!!!!! But they aren't staying with us - don't jump out of your socks) and today was their only full day here so I have spent the WHOLE day, from 9am til now (10.30pm) walking around town and showing them stuff. I am SOOOO EXHAUSTED. So it's sleepy time. (and currently NaNoWriMo is failing dismally. TOO BUSY the last two days!)

But I need to write my food before I go to bed (remember - visitors = patisseries and cafes and chocolatiers...)
- bircher muesli and small milk coffee
- decaf coffee with 1/2 apple strudel
- veggie tortellini with grilled chicken
- rooibus tea and chocolate truffle
- veggie satay stir fry with noodles
- apple juice.

(could have been worse!)
 
AAWWWWWWWW!!!!!! HELLO BEANIE!!!!! Omg, he/she is sucking his/her thumb!!!!!! Already. And lounging back lazily with his arm behind his head. Definitely a poser haha.

I didn't think of the ligament softening pregnancy hormones. You really have to take it easy. Do you think you would be able to hire a translator for one of your hospital appointments? And get them to help you with the forms and stuff. I know it will be quite expensive, but seriously, I think that it is so important to make sure you are getting your point across properly. All the medical jargon is a very specialised corner of the language, and I hate to think that stuff is being lost in translation.

Glad you've signed up to NaNoWriMo :) Even if you have been superduper busy its something to get you all excited about writing again :D

Going to check facebook to read your 96 (96!!!!!!) comments :D x
 
AHeya cheese monster :)

I'm glad i make you giggle! At least i didn't make youy cry this time!!!

Yeah, facebook is proper freaky sometimes. i didn't think about getting it to 100, i didn't comment, maybe i should to make up the numbers. I read some of them (on my phone) and it made it freeze!!!!

50 000 words in a month!!!! Bloody hell :eek: Nothing like setting yourself a little target. You go girl!!!

Oh and your food.........Only one truffle and no cheese!!! I am very dissapointed :smilielol5:
 
A:( Hi team. I'm sick. Will write when I'm feeling better. Visitors gone now so will read your diaries when I'm feeling better too. xx
 
Sending you lots of love Joh. Take care & get well very soon. Loads and loads of TLC required and rest. Big hug, xoxo Cate
 
AHi my lovely girls!

Thanks for the get better vibes. I have actually been feeling LOTS better today. I was sooooo sick yesterday -sore throat, stuffed up nose, coughs, shakes, vomiting, the runs, fever, the lot. Today I just have a cough and a little sore throat, and I'm tired, but NOWHERE near as bad as yesterday. I slept for about 16 hours, so that probably had something to do with it.

I've been a bit grumpy today. My man just is not remotely sympathetic when I'm sick. Even with Beanie! I got mad at him, because he kept talking about making me chicken soup, but then he never did. Then he'd talk about giving me a neck rub because I had such bad headaches, but then when it came to it he couldn't be bothered. I have all these exercises from the physio that I need him to help with, but he rarely does, even when I chuck a sad. And I don't want to emotionally blackmail him! I just want him to WANT to do it, because he knows it will make me feel better, you know? ANYWAY I'm just grumpy. We were meant to pack today (we're moving next weekend) but he has just been working all day on his computer. I did a lot of it, but I'm sick... and I HATE being a nagger.

WEIGH DAY
- I did a secret sneaky weigh in on Thursday and I'd put on 1.1kg in 5 days. But today I weighed myself and I'd lost 1.3kg. Probably because I was sick... So today my weight is 0.2kg less than it was last week. Give it 3 days though and I bet it will skyrocket back up there. Probably even get above a healthy BMI again... expect a freak out that day, team.

FOOD TODAY
- Grilled cheese and tomato on Rye roll with pumpkin seeds.
- leftover spinach risotto with parmesan
- 8 green olives
- 5 gummy bears

EDIT - chicken veggie soup (my man made some chicken soup for dinner. Hurrah! Still is yet to pack even a sock though...)
 
ALets get the shouting over with, shall we!

You are gonna gain weight!!!! ALOT of weight. You need to get your head round that sweetie. You are not allowed to mention your BMI at all. Kate said so :cuss:
Please don't get stressed when your BMI and weight goes up. You will have weeks when you dont put on much and you will have weeks where you gain so much it will freak you out!!! That's what happens when you have a beanie growing inside ya hun. Trust me, you will look back and laugh at how worried you were about weight gain when you have to roll out of the sofa or get up belly first. Your food intake is great my little cheese monster. You're doing great.
I will be the first one on your case when you have had Beanie, got into a routine and want to lose weight again but until then just enjoy being pregnant and eat without feeling bad!!! Ok, rant over :)

Glad you are feeling better :) Sorry to hear you have had a grumpy day, they proper suck, i get them lots at 'that time of the month' as you probably figured by my diary rantings :) so i am gonna piss you off some more and say 'hormones lovie' on top of recovering from a really yuck sounding virus.
My man is bloody usless at the sympathy thing too but it is a completely different story when they are ill isn't it?

Ooooh, gummy bears!!! I love them....I have had no sweets (even though there is loads about cos of haloween) or chocolate at all this week and it has been so so hard. If i actually manage to lose the 2lb i am gonna have some sweets AND chocolate tomorrow.

Hope you feel even better tomorrow and get that man of yours to do ALL the packing while you sit in front of the TV, drinking tea, eating biscuits and dishing out the orders :)

Love and hugs

Xxxxx
 
AAlright, Kate, I KNOW that I shouldn't be worried about gaining weight, and I KNOW it will happen! :) But it feels just so counter-intuitive when we spend such a long time getting down to a certain number... it is just weird for my brain, that's all! I was thinking, seeing as we are moving house on Saturday and won't have a wii-fit anymore, it will probably be MUCH better. I mean, BMI is completely irrelevant for me at the moment, but every time I weigh myself on the wii fit at the moment, it gives me the BMI and my person gets bigger and bigger... so it will be much better for me to not have this, and to just watch a number grow - happily! Because that means that Beanie is healthy, and I'm doing well! So... yeah, it's just something I have to get my head around. Nothing wrong with BEING TOLD though! I love it ;)

Feeling a little better today... Because my man doesn't understand what 'being sympathetic' means (I had to give him a little lesson, because when I whined about it, he said 'oh, but you look so pretty!' LOL - I said, thanks but that's not sympathy. Then he said. 'oh. well you're doing such a great job, baby!' LOL - THANKS, honey, but not sympathy! hahaha - later on in the day he called me and said 'Poor baby, being sick and pregnant must suck. Hope you're feeling better.' BINGO!), he encouraged me to get out of bed this morning and go to my first Intensive German class. And because I'm a pushover, I decided to go to class. I had expected to feel really tired and sick and all that, but I knew that I could just leave if I felt awful. Turns out my man was right. *OH the horror!* I actually felt really good for going. If I hadn't have gone, I would have been more and more stressed about going later, because I would have missed even more, and the thought of being so far behind gives me the heebie jeebies. So I went, and I felt okay. Not great, of course, but okay. It's nice to get back into it, actually. And it's only for 3 weeks anyhow!

FOOD
I didn't eat breakfast... BAD BAD BAD BAD JOH! And of course that meant that I was FAMISHED after class and wanted the worst possible food, and LOTS of it. At least I'm learning how my body reacts now! I HAVE to have a decent breakfast! Tomorrow it will happen.
 
AHeya my little cheese monster!!

Glad you had a better day and wow Dunc finally seems to be getting there with the sympathy bit, kinda!!!

Hope you don't think i was having a go at you, i just want you to be happy and not stress!!!! I think it is probably a good thing that you cant check up on your BMI all the time and it really does blast it in your face on the Wii doesn't it. Oh and the Wii is so rude too isn't it. Have you shouted 'i'm bloody pregnant' at it yet?

Wouldn't it be awesome to have a Wii that instead of making you Wii Mii fater you could tell it that you were pregnant and it could give you a cool little bump!!!!

Ooooh, your pic is lovely. Such a cute bump, i'm loving following your pregnancy journey :)

Thank you so much for your kind words on my diary. You are truely a wonderfully beautiful person......Even if you are a cheese/truffle monster :)
 
AKATIE HOT BUNS - :) Yeah, my boy is getting better with the sympathy... we watched an episode of How I Met Your Mother last night where one of the characters is pregnant, and the hubby was so sympathetic and looked after her so much - he has been an angel since watching that! hehe.

I LOOOVE your idea of the wii having a little 'I'm blooody pregnant' button and then instead of the mii getting fatter, your belly bump expands! How cool is that! I think you should contact them with that idea, because there are SO many people out there who worry about the weight they put on in pregnancy, and whether it is too much or too little... GEM of an idea! MILLIONS you could make, girl!! And no, silly, I wasn't offended. I just don't want you to worry too much about me - I (think) I'm still pretty mentally stable about it all, hehe. xx

And I can't believe what you said about my comment on your diary - I have been so neglectful lately and I feel like my comment was so little... you've got so many great followers - it shows how inspiring you are, my dear!! :hurray:

TODAY
Second day back at my German, and I'm really enjoying it actually. Not the getting up early business, but the rest of it. I feel like I'm learning, and my German brain is finally back into top gear, which is a nice feeling to have.

I told my lovely Russian friend Olga about my being pregnant today and she nearly crushed me with her hugs!!! My poor boobs! LOL. :D She's a photographer, and the first thing she said (after all the squealing) was that she wants to come to our house this weekend (sunday - we are moving on saturday) and do a portrait session. And then later on, when my belly is huge, she wants to do another one. And then again later when Beanie is out in the world. HOW EXCITING!!!! :) Ah, it pays to have creative people in your life! :) :) :)

Today's FOOD:
- small bowl porridge cooked in milk with dried cranberries ; small orange juice; skim milk coffee (yes, caffeine and all... I was in struggle town this morning. Sorry Beanie)
- mini cheese quiche, green salad, green beans, 3 olives.
- soy decaf latte
-leftover bean casserole
- spinach frittata
- 1 scoop choc ice cream
