Still puking up

Had to stop eating dinner last night and run off to be sick! The novelty is wearing a little thin! There's dodgy political things been going on a t work this week, so I'm at home on the sofa this afternoon trying not to get too stressed and watching 'The Day After Tomorrow' (I love a bit of weather!)

13 weeks pregnant!

Am finally allowing myself to get excited about having a baby as we are over the 12 week hump, and of course anything can happen in the next 28 weeks, but at the moment I feel good and am enjoying being pregnant (even when I puked on Sunday morning!) I feel like I'm normally an optimistic person, and have been so pessimistic for the past year, and it's nice to feel a bit more back on an even keel emotionally.

Results of NT Test

I spoke to my husband before the scan on Friday and, to my utter relief, we both agreed that there was no way we were terminating this pregnancy regardless of the result, and that I wasn't going to have an amniocentesis as we both felt that the risks of miscarriage were too high.

As it turned out, I needed have worried quite so much as the results were good, thank goodness!

Long time no post

I told you I was a novice blogger, but even I admit that 6 weeks between posts is a bit much!

Last time I posted I was 6 weeks pregnant, and every time I thought about posting, I couldn't face it as it felt like I was going to jinx this pregnancy. Well, since then I had a scan at 7 weeks 4 days, and one last Thursday at 11 weeks, 1 day, and everything was fine! My husband and I were too amazed at seeing the baby somersault and the definition of the head and arms, that we forgot to be emotional and neither of us cried! It wasn't until we got outside that our emotions came out! We're so relieved and are now allowing ourselves to be excited. Although I'm finding it slightly hard to deal with the 3 friends that I've told as they are so excited and I feel that I need to temper their excitement by not being so excited! Sounds silly doesn't it, but I suppose I'm still trying to protect myself.

Afterwards we talked to the doc and he suggested booking in for the NT test (Nuchal Transluceny - which is a scan and a blood test which detects Down Syndrome and other physical abnormalities). We agreed, I booked the appointments without really thinking about it. I had the blood test yesterday, the scan's booked for Friday, and then I think we get the results. Now I'm worried about what will happen if we get a bad result. After having 2 babies removed from me, I don't think I could make the decision to get rid of this baby. And I'm worried that my husband may not feel the same way as me. I know I should talk to him, but I'm worried about what he would say.

Anyway, that's all for now.
