14 week scan

Hey everyone, well it’s been a little while between postings hasn’t it!  I’ve certainly been up and down still, but think I MAY just be feeling a bit better overall.  For instance, on Monday I felt so good I was able to train, and go for not one, but TWO walks!  Tuesday I didn’t feel as good but managed a short game of tennis, yesterday was ok but I woke at 3.30am and didn’t nap during the day so was quite tired most of the day, having appointments and no time to go to the gym.  Today I didn’t feel so good – I was asleep by 8.30pm last night, and up at 3.30am again.  I did go back to sleep at 6.30am until 8am however.  Still wasn’t feeling great but did go to the gym and did an ok workout.  Tired again by midday and slept for 2 hours!!  Woke up feeling crappy again and in bed again by 8.30pm!  So each day is different.  Certainly helps me feel better if I can sleep until a more normal hour though like I did last night.  Well, if you call 5am normal.  I guess when you go to bed at 8.30am that’s a nice sleep

I had my 14 week scan yesterday.  It’s just incredible to see that little baby on the monitor, and to think it’s just there, sitting in my tummy!  Bubba is getting bigger now, a little over 7cm.   I just have to hope I don’t get a call from the doc’s in the next week to say I need to come in and consider having an amnio because my scan results revealed I was high risk.

I bought some maternity jeans!  They are a little big at the moment but they will be great when I get a bit larger.  So here’s my little one, and here’s my 14 week belly – still not much of a belly, but plenty of hip, butt and thigh.

Have put on about 3.5kg already, eeek.  I told the midwife I was a bit concerned about it (because it’s all happened in the last couple of weeks) and she looked at me like I was an idiot   I’m having trouble concealing that I’m getting fat now.  I hate wearing anything tight fitting as it just feels uncomfortable.

She told me next time I came in she would book me into the hospital.  Wow, that all makes it sound very real!

Heading off to the Barossa Valley today, staying with friends tonight, then on to Adelaide tomorrow.  We’re taking 2 big esky’s and going to the Farmer’s market and Central market in Adelaide, to stock up on some good food.  I have a business meeting on Monday morning before we drive home.  I’m not sure if I’m going to go to the INBA Adelaide Classic (the one I competed at last year) or not – depends how I feel.  I might choose to go shopping for my pregnant body instead.  I would love to go and see Jan B (past client) compete in her first show though.  Good luck Jan, you were looking great in the pic I saw a while ago, so I’m sure you will do well!

My motto for the day (week..year..eternity) – if you want something done or done properly, do it yourself.  I have had a project on the go for awhile now and getting anywhere with it is like pulling hen’s teeth because I am relying on other people who obviously aren’t as organized, reliable, enthusiastic and ambitious as I am.  It sucks.  So moving on to my next project.  Something good has come out of it though, and that is that by the end of the month I will have a snazzy in house exercise database on my site.
