Twelve weeks...

Happy Easter everyone!  We had a big weekend, drove down to Brisbane (about 14 hours from Townsville) to go to a good friends 30th.  We had a great time but the driving really takes it out of you.  Did a little bit of baby shopping since Brisbane have cheaper places to get cots, linen etc.  We didn't get much, just a couple of sheet sets.  I'm still a bit gun shy when it comes to bigger items, considering we've only just reached the 12 week mark.  Otherwise it was great to catch up with friends and family. 

How far along: 12 weeks, one day
Total weight change: No change
Maternity clothes: Still too early
Stretch Marks: No
Movement: Too early
Sleep: Have been sleeping great for the past couple of weeks, but have had to train myself to lie on my side, and my boobs hurt too much when sleeping on my stomach
Best Moment This Past Week: Finally getting to the 12 week mark, enjoying some time off work and finally being able to tell some of our friends about our little secret
Most Difficult Moment This Past Week: Still having bouts of nausea, which happened over the weekend at the worse times
Belly Button In or Out: Still in
Cravings/Aversions: Nothing this week thank goodness
Symptoms: Nausea is still hanging around
What I'm Looking Forward To: We have our NT scan on Friday so we get to see Frostie again and then another long weekend!

How far along: 10 weeks, one day
Total weight change: No change
Maternity clothes: Too early, very happy at this stage to be able to still fit into my work clothes
Stretch Marks: No
Movement: Too early
Sleep: I want more!!!

Most Difficult Moment This Past Week: Continuing to be nauseous, usually at night time and finding out my friends two week wait ended up in a BFN :(

What I'm Looking Forward To: Hanging out for Easter, and going to a good friend's 30th!

Off the drugs...

At our appointment with Dr J last week, apart from the good news about Frostie hanging around, he also told me I could stop taking the progynova and progesterone from nine weeks, which is today!  Having to shove progesterone up your woo woo twice a day for seven weeks is such a pain, with a purpose I know, but still a pain.  And it puts a real damper on your sex life, that's for sure (TMI??).  So I'm glad to report that from today I'm just taking the normal pregnancy supplements, which I'm happy about.

Otherwise I've been feeling tired, nauseas and interestedly more emotional than usually.  I'm not tearing up at every pet food commercial or anything but a Sixty Minutes story about an IVF mix up got the waterworks going.  And an old episode of ER which a young boy dies and his organs are used to help others, also had me going, where two months ago it wouldn't have bothered me.  Crazy hormones!
