Well I had my first scan yesterday and it all went pretty well except the doctor said I wasn't as far along as I thought. This is the first pic of our little jelly bean who is measuring at 26.4mm. So Tiny!!!

It's been a while since I've blogged so I figured I should do it today. Hope everyone had a great easter. Ours was good except I felt crappy all weekend, but I suppose pregnancy does that to you lol. I have really started getting bigger now, I was wearing maternity clothes the other day and I'm only 11 weeks lol. Isabella is going well, she is walking along with furniture now which is scary coz she keeps letting go and falling down. She's become a real animal lately, all she wants to do is pounce on people and maul them. I gotta say for a girl with only 5 teeth she sure can cause a lot of damage!!! I go for a dating scan next thursday, at the moment my due date is Nov 17th, but it could possibly be Oct 20th. Guess we'll find out next week. I still haven't had morning sickness but I do feel rather off most of the day. Maybe that is morning sickness for me. Well thats all for now so til next time.......

WELL

I went to the doctor's yesterday to discuss my prenatal requirements and have been told to expect a call from a nurse to start going in for my checkups. It turns out I might be further along than I thought but will have to wait for the doc to arrange an ultrasound to find out. I hope I get morning sickness this time lol. I've never had it before and it would be nice to experience all pregnancy symptoms (i say now lol). I still can't believe it, by the end of the year i'm gonna have a 17mo baby and a brand new one. I'm glad though because this is going to be our last one. It will be nice to still be young when the kids are all grown up lol. I should probably be in bed asleep. Bella is and I have been so tired lately. Oh well plenty of time to sleep later.

WOW

It's been a long time since I blogged. I think I may have forgotten how lol. Soooo, what's been happening with me? Actually a lot! First off, Grant has a new job, yay, he is now working as a despatch controller for a company that builds water tanks. He's turned into an office boy lol. He says its not too bad but he does cop a lot of abuse from angry customers who haven't received their tanks. Maybe they'll toughen him up lol coz he is a bit of a softie. Nick has his school photos today. He got all spunked up and then as soon as we got to school he went and walked into a pole. Poor boy he's going to have a black eye in his photos.He has started learning to play the drums now and is actually pretty good considering he's never seen a drum kit before lol. Isabella has gone through some major changes in the last couple of weeks. She got her 2 top teeth through so now she has 4, and I think 2 more on the bottom are coming through as well. She has started sitting herself up which is cool. She has also started pulling herself up to standing. The only problem is now she lets go to try and walk but ends up falling face first. Am really starting to worry that she's going to have an accident soon and really hurt herself. I just can't believe she can do all this and she only turned 7mths last week lol. I'm so proud. Now me.... Well I finally got my new car. A nice big Pajero lol, geez its weird driving around in such a big car. My mum still hasn't spoken to me. It's been nearly 3 weeks now. Oh and the best news ever........ I'm pregnant. YAY Finally after 3 months, I was beginning to worry that there was something wrong with me because it took me 7yrs to fall pregnant with Bella. Now that I am though, it means we can start planning our surprise wedding. We wanted to wait to get married until I found out I was pregnant that way we would have an extra surprise for everyone. Well thats it for now.

Bad Birthday Blues

bellachell — Tue, 16 Jan 2007 18:36:22 -0800

Hi all, ok so I'm feeling a little miserable today. Tomorrow is my birthday and we were supposed to go away for the weekend to celebrate. Now we can't due to financial difficulties. I know it really shouldn't be that big a deal because we're all healthy and together as a family but I just can't seem to snap out of it. I had my heart set on getting away and taking some time out and now it has all gone up in smoke. To top it off I'm still not pregnant. Nick has been in and out of hospital for the last four days because he got tonsilitis now we have an appointment with a specialist on the 28th to see if he needs an operation to get them out. Thats real scary but not if you ask him, he thinks it'll be great fun. grant still hasn't found a job yet and he has been trying so hard. Everyone keeps knocking him back so we're both feeling disappointed about that. Thats all I'm gonna say for now otherwise I might not ever stop.

ITS BEEN A WHILE

bellachell — Wed, 10 Jan 2007 15:30:36 -0800

Hi guys, I just noticed it's been a while since my last entry. Well I did my first pregnancy test yesterday and unfortunately it was negative. I'm kinda feeling a little down now. I had hoped that it would happen straight away so I guess I should lower my expectations. It took me 7 years to fall pregnant the second time and I'm terrified it's gonna take that long again. I probab;y shouldn't worry at the moment because we've only just started trying but if anyone has any suggestions I'm all ears.

Hi

Nick and Bella mucking around on the floor last night. I'm sssoooooo glad they get along. I don't know what I would've done if they hated each other.

HI ALL

bellachell — Thu, 04 Jan 2007 18:30:01 -0800

Hi everyone! Well Grant and I have just made a big decision yesterday. We decided we are going to try for another baby. Bella is 5.5mths old now so hopefully she will have a sibling in the next year. On another note she still isn't crawling, just seems stuck in the rocking stage but I'm sure she'll get there eventually lol. 3 weeks until school starts again so we need to start getting booklists and uniforms together now. I can't believe Nick is gonna be in grade 2 that is awesome. My birthday is coming up in 2 weeks and Grant is taking me to Airlie Beach for the weekend. I can't wait. It will be so good to get away and relax for a while. Well thats all for now so please keep your fingers crossed for us regarding a new pregnancy and have a good day.

Hi All

Hi everyone. I have since recovered from New Years Eve, hopefully everyone else has also. Poor Grant is still very seedy, I haven't seen him out of bed yet lol. Isabella is finally going to bed awake now and not crying so that is awesome. I wish she would get up and crawl already lol, am way to excited. Can't wait to start chasing her all around the house, might help me lose some of this weight lol.
