Gurgi & DP have a geeklet in production
It’s true! we’re expecting our first child 
I’m just under 11 weeks gone, and altho many, many people say to keep silent until yanno all is ok.. we’re pretty excited.. and it’s hard to keep an entire third of ya first pregnancy a secret 
we had our first appointment with the midwife last Wednesday.. did the medical history thing and the obligatory pee test.. we were there for a good hour and a half, two hours even.. and i soon walked out of there thinking ‘my life is no longer my own‘ .. i’m merely a vessel bringing new life into this chaotic world.. (this is our reasoning for heading back to Australia)
we did walk away with pressies tho.. lil bounty packs with samples.. DP was the first to rip into the bundles of samples.. we even got a classical cd with some tunes onnit.. and you also hear the way the baby hears it too.. which is well cool!
i was meant to get blood taken.. but due to having type 2 diabetes, i’m needing to see a diabetic consultant at another hospital.. so next Wednesday (Nov 15th), DP and I will be getting the scan done and i’ll get my bloods taken all in one place..
so far so good tho.. the midwife says i’m healthy.. despite my diabetes, i have no other conditions or complications.. it’s been pretty uneventful.. i think i knew i was pregnant just after conception.. a feeling of oddness came over me.. i’ve had nausea but not throwing up.. gone off of the smell of cigarettes.. and really liking chocolate milk atm.. anything dairy actually.. i aint showing yet.. altho if it makes sense.. i can feel my tummy expanding from the inside out.. omg.. and sore boobs! .. thas prolly the main thing.. which im more than sure every single woman goes through when they’re pregnant.. its like the sure fire sign.. lol
I figure blogging about it will give people a lil bit on an insight to pregnancy.. spesh those who have diabetes.. as i am a type 2 diabetic.. this appears to be a risky venture.. im told so many things.. im cautious on what to take in.. so usually take everything said with a pinch of salt.. if i listened to everything said.. i’d be a complete mess.. cos i’ve had more negative notes than positive.. which kinda sucks..
i can’t understand why some women cant just enjoy it.. saying that your body changes and becomes unpredictable goes without saying.. along with the risks involved.. its common knowledge.. and it’s drilled into ya every time you’re within the same breathing space as a health professional..
i’m loving the idea that there’s gonna be a ‘mini us’ running about one day.. i understand there’s risks.. i understand that things can go wrong.. but i think the last thing we should do is keep our mouths shut about it all.. why does it hafta be so taboo.. it’s life.. it happens.. we’re enjoying it for what it is and taking it one day at a time 
anyways.. i wasn’t exactly sure what to blog.. but i figure this is enough.. i’ll keep updating our new adventure… only 4 days til we see the lil bugga.. *smiles* can’t wait!
