11 Weeks Pregnant Apparently!

Had my pregnancy confirmed at the local GP and apparently I am 11 weeks pregnant, with a due date of 5th June 2007. I have an ultrasound in a couple of weeks time just to confirm.
I am feeling absolutely exhausted and am napping throughout the day EVERY day. And I just feel really terrible, so I have to nibble on something all day long to take nausea away. Fortunately this time around (with me being on WW), I am sticking with fruit & vegies for my snacks, with the odd jam sandwich thrown in.
My back between my shoulder blades is absolutely killing me, especially in bed. And my stomach suddenly looks huge like I have swallowed a cantaloupe!!! It just popped out over night!! And I usually sleep on my belly, but it had gotten to the stage where it is uncomfortable. AND I am getting up to pee about 10 times a night. My boobs are still aching and sore to touch. AHHHHHHH, the joys of pregnancy - I had forgotten all about it! (Photo from birth.com.au).

The Shock of It All.....

Hubby and I were happy with 2 kids! I originally wanted more, but after the birth of my daughter, we decided that having the "pigeon pair" was good enough for us. That was until last Friday when I did a pregnancy test, and sure enough it was positive. The disbelief was enormous! All our plans for the future were now out the window!!!
We decided to tell the kids straight away as we knew they would be extremely excited. And my Lord, they were. Paige kissed my tummy repeatedly and Callum kept asking if we were just tricking or telling the truth. They are over the moon!!! We told family & friends, and they are all extremely shocked as well!
I am between 7-10 weeks and have been having morning sickness the last 3 days, as well as extremely sore breasts. Here is a picture of what the baby looks like now, from a website called www.birth.com.au
