Not long to go now XD. My belly button is slightly poking out except when i lay down it sinks in a little. Its so smooth haha.

I had my baby shower on sunday the 28th after my 23rd bday which was the 27th. It was alot of fun and extremely hot!!! i was somewhere between 36-37in around my belly. While i was opening gifts at the end (which went well over the time i thought baby showers would go for haha hadnt been to one before) Tempy was going crazy as if saying 'thats my present dont touch!' but when i went to bed i realized it was cause i took my inhaler and it makes her go nuts i try real hard not to take it but sometimes i need a quick relief when it gets real bad.

I cut the cake real last min and it turned out better then i thought. I did it myself with gem making the frosting we spent ages adding a dab of colour at a time to get it light. I dont want to eat or throw away the bassinet i made from fondant icing for some reason.

I loved all the gifts :) so much. I dont really have a fav but the teddy box that holds certain first baby items from gem is really awesome.

It was just some family and a friend and a half (sandy couldnt stay long). Didnt want one of those big out there ones. Itd scare me.

I have a midwife appointment this friday im curious to know what way Tempy is laying if shes changed from transverse or not. 2 weeks ago a stepin midwife said she had moved her her downwards slightly and that shes getting towards being engaged. I guess i dont really want that even thou it would help me to sleep a tiny bit better.

She moves around so much and in such horrid ways that i cant feel what way shes laying. I just have a feeling that she popped her head back up to my sides althou at times i feel a jolt towards my inner thigh way.

Matthew should be working for only up till xmas ill be making him stay home with me. Its been hard having him away but even harder just at the thought of if i went into labour that he wouldnt get back here in time for the birth (which would be a c section if it happened now hence why he wouldnt make it) and id be so angry. Wouldnt even be able to get ahold of him. So this way hes by my side no matter what happens. Itll be great when he has a job thats situated within auckland rather then out.

Taking deep breaths constantly nothing else helps my morning sickness althou i feel half of the vomiting if from her moving in a way that forces my food up. ek.

This week ive been attempting to make a bassinet out of fondant icing. Never tried it before except when i was well young i played around with it once. It seems to look 'ok' just aslong as it doesnt break. I made the bottom of the bassinet over a glad tiny container cause its the perfect size and the icing moved abit when drying overnight to cover bits of the container so that i cant take it off haha so its just going to have to stick you cant see it thou.

Last day of antenatal classes this saturday we'll be doing the breastfeeding changing bathing type things. It still feels awkward a tad at classes just cause im so different to everyone else. I try not to answer too many questions. And of course was the only one to ask anything about transverse position so taking a stab i must be the only one with it...just another thing to add making me the odd one out.

I keep getting extremely dizzy and need to vomit pretty bad at every class. Holding it in is the only thing i can do and sip on water take deep breaths. Find it really hard to vomit in toilets i think its the smell.

Tempy likes to jolt far down into the pelvic area i get winded everytime haha.

Its been so long since ive seen anyone. I get real nervous being in a room filled of people just cause ive gotten so use to either being just with mum or matthew.

Still havent found a house. Apartment driving me crazy even more.

Nov 10th

Feels like its been along time since iv posted anything.

Have been busy making up a pregnancy scrapbook but with my mind being so fuzzy i forget where i stick everything INCLUDING the first 2 sets of baby scans from july 9th and july 19th i think they are. im so sad :( could only find gender scans from aug 31st but those first ones ment so much to me. tipped the apartment upside down looking for them and they are not at mums hmmmmm can i have my memory back soon please haha.

Still having morning sickness. Was put on iron tablets this week. Fingers crossed it does some good this time.

Tempy is in transverse position which i always knew just didnt know it would mean special treatment like soon ill be getting her turned around if she doesnt move. Its really scared me. Yeah its fine and all its no real harm but its still very scary to me. Iv had my hopes up so high to have a normal birth. Lets hope it still happens. Although being told that if my water breaks ill need to feel for the cord...i cant get around to that angle...so im looking to matthew for this and i dont think he'll be too happy.

Lately we got the carseat that can sit in the pram frame that was only about $63 they are so cheap these days. Its green too which i really liked :) The Parent and Child show was good we got what we wanted which was just really the nappies and the mag subscriptions to OHbaby and Treasures.

Feeling extremely uncomfortable. No slouching at all for me. Most time i slightly lean back and sideways to get her off everything for a moments relieve. Shes been having the hiccpus alot lately it starts to feel annoying and you can see it when my belly has been very tight which is most the time. So tired.

Still looking for a house.

Oct 25th 6 and a half months

Ahhhhhhh there goes my dinner. Never thought id still be sick at this point. Taking major cap naps. Usually being around 4 hours per nap thou its been months since ive been able to properly clean. I cant bend down to get something without pain/restricted so i use my toes to pick up my shirt or ill get matthew to wash my back and get me my breakfast (which helps prevent morning vomits some days).

Really wanting this cot from baby factory the lullaby one but no way id pay $700 we just going to wait it out thou. Its not like ill just be using it once anyways and it turns to a bed.

Still havent found a new place to live. Its so hard espesh with landlords wanting someone to move in right away yet we need to give our apartment 3 weeks notice and our water company 4 weeks notice in advance. Eeeek. We have only really settled in places like st lukes area to live. Matthew hasnt lived on the other side of auckland before we took him to titirangi so he could see the real parts of auckland.

All we really need to get now is proper clothing which wont be brought till after my week 36 scan since if shes going to be like me... shes going to need very tiny clothing.

Shes so active. Rigth now shes jumping as if a drum is going. So tired. Let mummy sleep Tempy.

She loves Matthew like crazy the way she acts when he talks to her shes a certain way that she plays with only him... not even with me!

Bed time maybe if im lucky ill just passout from being so tired! hehehe.

Matthew gets his restricted on wed so we can drive to my antenatal classes which start on saturday. baby show on friday too. itll be nice. hope we both meet some other couples there.

2 and a half months left...make it go faster...yet at the same time...you know what i mean.

22 Sept Nursery Set up

So its nearing end of september and i am extremely confused of how far along i am. There are so many way to see where i am. on alot of baby sites it goes
(month1) week 1,2,3,4
(month2) week 5,6,7,8
(month3) week 9,110,11,12
(month4) week 13,14,15,16
(month5)week 17,18,19,20
(month6) week 21,22,23,24 - and since im week 23 on the 23rd that would say im nearing month 7 but if you do it like this (since im week 1 from april 15th)
(month1) april 15- may 14
(month2) may15- june 14 - you get the drift. which would make me 5m 1w today. thats a whole montha dn a half difference. see why im confused?

The weekend just passed we setup the nursery. Got the changing table, bassenet up and i stuck all the lil pieces we have like bids towels blankets and toys in the table shevles (still in packets thou). next we just need to strip down my old draws to repaint them.

I stuck my bear (which has a nappy and bid on) in the bassenet and it makes me want to pick him up and cuddle him...which iv always been like to my bear anyways... its not weird. i just love my bears. better to have lots of love then none at all.

Morning sickness still has not gone away. Every few weeks ill have a day where i feel completely normal which lasts about an hour.

You can see her body skim across my tummy when shes flipping around. I do worry alot about how much she moves and if the placenta cord will get tangled up.

Going to be very nice when matthew has his car any day now. No more busing around it makes my tummy juggle very sore!

BABY SHOWER SOON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sep 10th Gender Scan

So i had the gender scan on aug 31 and baby wouldnt sit still i was so nervous trying so hard not to cross my fingers for a girl incase it backfired. But all was okay cause there was no sign of a little noo noo so shes a girl :)

Dylan and Jaz also came along and got the scan on dvd you can see her tinkling and swallowing and stuff.

So happy!

Will be sanding the old draws my sister and i had when we were babies as its blue, my nephew was going to have it but he needs ones he can see the top of to put his things on.

Still wanting to make alot of the clothing just cause thats something iv always been good at perfection sewing (its been awhile thou). i use to make my barbie clothing haha.

Aug 17th 4th Month

So i was reading my mums big anatomy book and such cause i knew i wasnt reaaaaly
16 weeks and i was right im 18weeks on thursday!

Darn scan lady telling me i ovulated at a later date is such bull poop! its not even possible to ovulate 8days after my body had even told me "hey just so you know i released an egg for ya itll be fertilized in the next few hours" and then a week later no monthly. How can i ovulate after iv missed my monthly and already done the urine test. Im too smart for her.

Soooooooooo that means i am in the first week of month 4!!!!! AND I CANT BELIEVE IT!!!

Too scared still to put my hand back on my belly. The kicks are a shock. Use to feeling it inside instead.
