8 week update
Friday was eight weeks since my LMP. According to my apps, baby is the size of a raspberry or Jelly Bean. According to my ultrasound this week baby is 16.8 mm (or was on Wednesday). Something I read suggested that baby is growing about a millimetre a day at the moment, so by today…
Read MoreFirst Antenatal Appointment Ever!
Today was my first doctor’s appointment with Dr P for this pregnancy. It was also my first antenatal appointment ever!

Read MoreAfter the weekend
So we told both sets of parents this weekend and now I feel comfortable posting on my blog. I am no longer publicising my blog to Facebook or twitter, but I do want to share my journey with the people that I have come to share with in the blogosphere. I did on the other…
Read MoreFollow Up Bloods and more worry!
I got my follow up blood work results today. My hCg is up 34% after two days to 10763, my progesterone is down slightly (52.6), but still quite high for where I think I should be in this pregnancy. Dr P’s rooms are still saying that I’m 6 weeks gestation which is very confusing. That…
