37 Weeks Pregnant

Well the 36 weeks leading up to this point in time have been eventful to say the least. Maybe I should start at the beginning of this amazing and life changing journey that we have been on. It all started when AD and I decided that we should start trying for a baby, now that was a adventure in itself but that does not matter, it took a while for us to conceive our baby. I remember that a friend of mine got pregnant around the same time as we were trying and she was so worried that the fact she was pregnant and I was not would upset me, but to be honest I was thrilled for her and little did I know that I was pregnant as well. To me the first sign that there was something going on was when went to Melbourne for a week, my first inkling that I might be pregnant was the fact that I threw up on the plane flight over to Melbourne, now some might think that it is not a hint that I might be pregnant but I beg to differ as I have flown so many times before and have not thrown up on the plane before it led me to believe something was going on with my body but at that stage I did not really think that I was pregnant. During that week in Melbourne I was so sick I felt that it was not fair as AD and I had been planning this trip since July because I had bought two tickets to Britney Spears in Concert, which I still managed to attend even though I was so crook. I spent most of the holiday in bed at the hotel as I was so sick, one of the times that I was asleep at the hotel AD went out and looked around and to my surprise he bought me a new handbag. The day we were leaving Melbourne I threw up in the hallway of floor we were staying on but I also managed to get back into the room and threw up even more in the bathroom. We flew home that afternoon arriving back home in Adelaide, we decided to wait until the following morning to do the pregnancy test. I was so nervous doing the pregnancy test as we had done so many in the previous months that came back negative that I did not want to get my hopes up, but to my total surprise the test was positive, AD was standing outside the toilet door waiting for me to come out, when I walked out I told that I was pregnant his whole face lit up with pure happiness. The next few weeks past without too much hassle except I did manage to get gastro which made it really interesting. My second trimester went very smoothly, there was a couple of very important things that happened during this trimester that stood out the first important thing that happened during this time was when the baby first kicked whilst I was on the phone to AD (which made his day) and the other important thing that happened during this trimester was when I had my 20 week ultrasound which was when we found out that I was having a girl (its a 95% chance but there was no definite signs it is a boy), that made our day. We went to the local shopping mall and we spent some time looking at all the little girls clothes, AD was having so much fun picking out all the cute girly clothes he could find in the shops. My third trimester has gone pretty smoothly, we have had countless practice runs to the hospital for a number of different reasons, the latest one being because I thought my waters had broken but they had not, but the doctors do not know where the fluid that had leaked had come from. So who knows whats going on with my body. All I know is that my little girl is healthy and very much loved by both me, her dad, her grandparents (my parents) and her four uncles (my brothers).

Much Love
