This week

This week my body has been feeling odd at times. On Thursday I felt quite tingly during time off class. My head was spinning a bit and I was apparently not looking great, according to one of my lovely teacher buddies. Fortunately after eating some morning tea I felt a bit better.

It was a long week at school. Tuesday on my feet all day at softball, in the rain. Lots of teachers making joke pregnancy comments (it was so hard not to say something!) Hopefully school will go smoothly for these last 7 weeks and I'm not going to feel too funny.

The other hard thing is that breakfast is my favourite meal of the day, however, I have been feeling a bit sickly when eating breakfast. So sad! I have still eaten breakfast because I know it's important, but hopefully it doesn't last a long time. Fortunately this morning breakfast was fine so maybe that was just a last week thing...

Then yesterday we went to the Reptile Park with the Howies. Yesterday was the first day where I haven't felt great until basically 5 at night. It was such a long time of feeling bleh. I hope that doesn't happen often either. It was hard not to tell them, especially with Howie making his normal jokes of 'Debbie's sitting down, she must be pregnant'. 


Anyway, today I'm feeling much better, although my throat is a bit sore :( So hopefully this will set a standard for this week.

Becoming more excited

Today I have been a bit more excited about the possibility of having a baby. I'm feeling a lot more at peace with it, even though my mind is still running 100 miles an hour.
I booked an appointment with my dr to get blood tests to confirm if I am pregnant so that is booked for next Thursday. Hopefully all will go well and all will be positive.
Crazy to think that a little person is growing inside of me. I hope that I can read the right things and get my head around everything.
Questions like what can I/can't I eat are a big one in my mind at the moment. Lots of people seem to have different opinions over certain foods so I will be happy after talking with the dr to get some clarification.

Test is positive

Well, here is a blog for me to write my thoughts, experiences, emotions. Partly so I can just get my thoughts out of my head, but also so that James' and my family can see what is going on - particularly James' parents as they are in Queensland.

So yesterday, after being late, I decided to head to the shops to see if what I was thinking was true... that James and I might be pregnant. After getting the test I headed home and fussed around a bit. Then I took the test and within a few minutes there were 2 pink lines on the stick which the box tells me is a positive result.

Wow... crazy news! It does explain though why the past week I have been extremely tired, even with going to bed early. It does explain some sensitivity in my chest. And it does explain why I'm late.

So how am I feeling? Excited? yes. Nervous? yes. Mind running everywhere? yes. The problem with my brain is that I think about everything - the next year, telling people, making dr appointments, how is my body going to change, what about work, etc. So many things going through my head. I didn't sleep the best last night because of all my thoughts, I think.

I was excited to tell James because I knew he couldn't wait to have a baby! The problem was that he was out at a bucks night yesterday so I needed to stay up to talk to him. I couldn't call or message him because he was out with the guys and I knew that he'd be very excited. So I stayed up until 11:45 when he got home to tell him. I was right, he got such a big smile across his face - he was so excited!

So the next thing for us to do is to go and book and appointment at the doctor to find out if it is a correct test. After that, we'll see what happens. It's going to be hard to stop eating a lot of food that I love eating, but James is going to stop eating them too - soft cheese, prawns, etc.
