Week 11 and week 12

I actually wrote a week 11 post but for some reason it's not publishing. It keeps saying it was successfully posted but is unpublished. I have no idea what that means though anyhow...
week 11 I was beginning to have times when I felt ok and the sickness started to ease up a little.

I had my first visit with Sonja, who is the midwife we used with Essence. I'm very happy that we have chosen to have another homebirth with Sonja as our midwife.

I was 12 weeks on monday.
I had my first ultrasound on Monday morning. I was pretty scared as I had been feeling something was wrong and that there may not actually be a baby there- but there was!
After a pretty rough morning where I lost the referral and had to go to the drs to get another one and when I could not find a car park I finally got to relax and see our little one. It was alive! I could see the heart flickering and got to hear the heart beating as well. The baby was pretty quiet and only did a few jumps towards the end. It was sucking it's little thumb and waving it's hands around it's face. I almost cried when I realized there was a little baby. I asked where the placenta had attached and the ultrasound technician showed that it was posterior but due to a very retroverted uterus it would in fact be anterior but then she found a second placenta. There was only 1 baby there but I have no idea if there originally was 2 and the 2nd baby didn't form or if there is 2 and we didn't see the 2nd baby or if the original placenta separated and is now joined by blood vessels. I get to go back it two weeks to have a second scan to see if we can see more as my uterus should have tipped back to the correct way. The baby also measure a week behind my dates. I'm still going to keep my 'guess date' for now but may tell people I'm a week earlier so when it's 'due' time I won't need to defend my reasons for not being induced if I go late.



Here is our secret one. Jay was surprised it looks like a baby even at this early stage. I still can not believe that this little one is inside me. It's so amazing!


and the little one in 4D. It looks so snug in there!

I am feeling so much sicker again and am definitely the most tired this week! I threw up for the first time this week twice in a row. I have been on the verge of it for many weeks but so far had managed to hold it in! I'm so so tired. I am wishing I could lay in bed all day! I would love to be asleep right now!

I am still looking forward to feeling better and entering the more 'safe' zone. Soon... it's so soon!
