Cravings...
This weekend I really wanted a big macdonalds so we took a walk to maccy d's for a guilty indulgence in a burger and chips (a massive one too!) and a coke and a milkshake. It was loooooovely.
Have to say I was disappointed i had to have coke and not pepsi, I have been craving pepsi like crazy the past week. FInally got some last night. I never was bothered about fizzy juice before, and now pepsi is constantly on my mind!! So wierd.
Also - refreshers ice lollies. Have just eaten one, and now want another. I am going to be the size of a damn house!! (And we also discovered scottish tablet ice cream. So unhealthy but so damn tasty.) Think I can justify it though as I've had healthy dinners the past 2 nights :) Eating cabbage surely justifies macdonalds, pepsi and ice cream?
We also did lots of walking in the sun and swimming this weekend, it was so nice to be active again after feeling so rubbish for weeks. I feel great. Got a couple of days off this week too so will be going swimming again and hopefully getting a nice facial too as my skin is breaking out like mad.
Anyway, off to find another ice lolly....

Heartbeat recording!
This heartbeat monitor has made me so happy. A lot of people wont believe you can hear a heartbeat at 11 weeks however, there is no denying what I'm hearing is a fast baby heartbeat. I have recorded it and attempting to upload it here just now if I can fiigure out how....but the recording quality is rubbish and it IS just a home use ultrasound thing, so the quality isn't brilliant. (It seems to be strongest from 23 seconds onwards on the recording) But if you hear it in person, it's SO clear and loud! It was clearer just now then when I did it for the first time earlier. Possibly because I'm bursting on a pee and having a full bladder helps. Or possibly just because baby decided to move, I kept getting deafened by him/her as well, must be moving around and bashing about or something as I kept getting sudden bangs which almost burst your eardrums in the headphones!
Anyway, listen away and be amazed, there's a baby, a real baby! This is making me even more excited for the scan a week on Wednesday.

Heartbeat monitor
Quick post to say I finally got my home use heartbeat monitor. Just tried it and found the baby heartbeat. Sounded like a train, so fast! Kenny had a listen too. So amazing. I'll try again later and see if I can record it as it comes with a cable to record it. If I can I'll post it on here! Also knackered now, today we went swimming, then for lunch then a massive walk around leith. So warm outside, it's lovely. Getting such a belly on me now, convinced I'm just getting fat, I'm definite its not a baby bump. Lol. And its only a week and 4 days til the scan, I can't wait :)

Update overdue!
A summary of what's happened since the last post:
- Family visit
- First Midwife appointment
- More days off sick!
- And now...a cold!
Well I've been sick as a dog! People keep telling me it's normal to feel like crap but this is unreal! Had Thurs/Fri off work as I think I was coming down with something, had a sore throat etc and was KNACKERED and keep going dizzy. I'm now stuck with a damn cold. However, the sickness seems to be passing now and I'm managing to eat meals again - YIPEEEE. So i'm feeling much better bar the snotty blocked nose. The house has gone to crap, it's a mess as I've just not had the energy to clean, but I have no urgency to get the house spic and span, thankfully. Can do it this weekend...maybe!
Had my midwife appointment, got the student widwife and my own midwife and they were both lovely. Just standard blood tests and medical history etc etc...so all seems fine so far. Just wish there was some kind of check they could do now to see everything is ok! Less than 3 weeks til the scan which I can't wait for. Can't believe 10 weeks has gone already! Soon everyone will know!
Had my mum, stepdad and 3 brothers visit couple of weekends ago which was so nice to have the whole family together for the first time in AGES. Sadly, mum and nathan ended up with stomach bugs! I think I'm jinxed, everyone gets ill when they visit me...but it was so nice to see everyone and me and mum had a few laughs :)
I seem to be getting quite a belly on me now, trousers are tight and belly bulging, however, that might be the sudden influx of food since I can eat again!! Pepperoni pizza tonight, bolognese at lunch, chocolate, crisps, fruit juice, oranges, apples, yoghurts...yeah certainly not starving now! I'm sure people will start noticing soon!
Just realised it's well over a month since we found out and since I stopped smoking...brilliant :D
Christine's friend Amanda has donated a TON of baby clothes and Kenny's sister is giving us a moses basket, car seat and cot, and mum's getting us a pram...it's all seeming so real now! I can't wait til a few months pass and I can start planning things a bit more. And of course find out boy or girl......as much as everyone keeps telling me not to find out, I always said I would...
Oh I bought an ultrasound doppler (heartbeat monitor), apparently most people can't hear baby's heartbeat by themself until at least 12 weeks or even later however, I'll give it bash when it arrives hopefully at the weekend. Some people on a forum have said they managed at 10 weeks. It's like a really basic ultrasound scan but just noise, have to use the gross cold gel though....ewwww. And need to drink lots of water first too. Will update if I find anything!!
Over and out, bit of a rubbish update as it's so overdue but am going to eat some fruit-tella now :D
