Last Tuesday Daz and I found out that I'm pregnant! We honestly thought that it would take us a lot longer to fall pregnant than this but we're so so so happy. It's been a roller-coaster ride of a week and it's only today sitting here between my best friend Claire visiting me this morning and waiting for Callum's sports day this afternoon that I've had a moment to myself to think about this properly and how I feel. Of course I'm excited and happy as can be but I'm also full of nerves and a little anxious over things. Happy because this is what we wanted, a another bundle of joy in our lives and a sibling for Callum, who by the way now believes that wishes come true (that story will come up later!)and all the happiness that a child brings. The worry comes from my experience of birth with Callum and the added stress of money, how will we survive, the economy isn't exactly the most stable at the moment and obviously this news puts my job hunting on hiatis for a while so it's more burden put on Daz. The doctor when we saw her last Thursday said about the birthing experience and my anxiousness about it can be worked on throughout the next nine months and I know it can but it still doesn't at this moment make me stop feeling anxious. Luckily other things to worry about normally we don't have to, we've got a lovely big house now with a spare room (just need to move the big double bed out of it!) and we've still got a lot of stuff from when Callum was a baby either up in our loft or at my in-laws so the cost of having to buy a lot of new stuff isn't there and thankfully the bed linen I'd bagged up ready for a friend to collect to give to charity is still bagged up waiting for collection so we can now keep that. So how did we tell Callum and how did he take the news? Well on Tuesday after school Daz asked Callum how he would feel if we had someone come and live with us, before we knew it Callum was saying "Has Mummy got a baby brother in her belly?". A bit surprised Daz asked what made him think that to which he replied (and talk about give me a complex! lol)"weellll Mummy's belly has looked a little bigger the last week.". Out of the mouth of babes. Anyway after telling him it might not be a brother but a sister instead he jumped up and was very happy and all smiles, he full of smiles and happiness about this news.
Now here is where you hear a little story about a little five year old boy back in May. See in May Daz, Callum and I went out with Daz' parents to a few garden centres looking at stuff for well gardens. It was at one of these garden centres that Callum apparently came upon a wishing well and asked his Nanny Joyce for a coin for a wish. He made his wish but then turned round to Joyce and because he didn't think his wish would come true told her what he had wished for. Any indeas anyone?... He guessed for a baby brother. So as you can imagine now Callum is over the moon with himself and thinks wishes come true and well Daz and I are trying to persuade him to make a wish about us winning the lottery. lol.
Of course it isn't just Daz, Callum and I that are over the moon with this news I swear when I phoned my Mum up and told her I was pregnant after hearing her yell out "Yay!!" I then heard her jumping up and down for joy and Daz' parents have big grins on their faces. My Dad phoned me the next day and quietely whispered down the phone because he didn't want anyone at work to hear him "Congratulations, but what happened to you saying no more after Callum?" and chuckling. It's been so nice to be able to talk to family and friends and give them good news and make them smile or as some have said make their day. It makes me realise just how blessed I am.
So other details, hmmm... Well yesterday I was six weeks gone according to the doctor so that gives us a due date of 9th March 2010, so only 3 days before my litle brother and sister celebrate their 18th birthday. lol. I have to wait until I'm twelve weeks gone for our first scan (gosh I love those things!) so I suppose they may give a more accurate due date then and then a few weeks after that I'll have my blood tests etc done, yuck hate those things. In myself I'm not feeling too bad, very very tired and very hungry with constant night-time trips to the little ladies room and a few headaches and back aches none of those two which I remember from being pregnant with Callum. Also I'm really craving ready salted crisps, well very salty flavoured things and chocolate doesn't seem to agree too well with me. I'm feeling a little queezy at times but no proper full on blown vomiting which I like.
Well I have a litle boys school sports day today so I should go and get on with getting ready for that and hoping that the rain holds off.
Now I wonder how good I can be at keeping up with this blog.
