The Wait...

About 4 weeks ago I had some spotting and really bad cramps. I was really worried as I did not experience that with Josh. Naturally I was thinking the worst and went to the doc first opportunity I got. I was booked in for an early scan and naturally it was too early to tell if the pregnancy was going to be "viable". They found a pool of blood in my uterus which could have been causing the issues but were unable to tell me more. I was told to come back in 3 weeks time. And that is when the wait began! Never in my life have I felt more anxious and worried. It's the strangest thing, no matter how hard you tell your self not to worry, there is nothing you can do and you just get consumed with it.
I thought I might as well do a digital pregnancy test every week to make sure my HCG levels were on target! That works to a certain degree but after 6 weeks the test cannot tell you anymore. 4 tests later and a bit of a waste of money I had a result that would say 3+ ( which is 5 weeks pregnant ) and it would not go up any further!

Anyway the day of the scan finally arrived at it was on Wednesday.
The sonographer was lovely and could tell I was anxious and she gave me the news immediatley. ALL WAS GOOD! Sweatpea Randall had a healthy heartbeat that was beating away. I got to see my precious little pea and was overwhelmed with emotion and burst out crying. All that worry for nothing. I have never felt so relieved ever. Finally I can start to relax and enjoy the fact that we are expecting another precious little bundle and I am ecstatic!

I am having another scan on the 8th of June and this time we will be able to date Sweetpea. Currently I am 9 weeks pregnant. Granny Jeanette is arriving at the end of the month and I am planning on taking her with to see her new grandchild. Watch this space for the Sweetpea's first phote debut!

I have had morning sickness this week which I am not used to and was actually hugging the toilet bowl this morning! Lets hope its not to often and does not last too long. Not sure how some mummies deal with it for so many months! Hopefully I am one of the lucky ones!
