11 weeks to Go!!!

I am now 'almost' 29 weeks... so only 11 weeks to go... and lucky me is having the baby 2 weeks early again.. so that makes it only 9 weeks... ... yay... OMG!!!!!!

Surprisingly (touchwood) everything is going well... which is fantastic after the staph infection during Joshie's pregnancy... a little carpal tunnel in two of my fingers in my left hand which can cause some issues when it is Really hot is not much of a problem!!!
I haven't gained TOO much weight... probaby too hot here to eat too much... and I am still able to have an 'easy' game of tennis with Aidan...providing he hits it somewhere in my vacinitiy.... and I dont have to run too far or fast!!! hahaha...
Also I am coping with the needles surprisingly well.. and the bruising is pretty non-existent... so that is great... Since I reached the 12week milestone, I have been on 100m/g twice a day... (they are the black syringes... before this, I was on 80m/g twice per day.. they are the brown syringes)


This is just over 6 months worth of needles...

I have another 2 months to go.. that is another 120 odd needles...

ahhh... the fun of it!!!

We have no baby names chosen yet... lots of possibities but nothing confirmed... Justin blames it on 'not knowing' what the baby is .... I blame it on... not having a name!! We should be having another ultrasound soon... and Justin is keen to find out if it is another boy or a girl...

This week I also have to have a glucose test ... (should have been last week... but with my teaching prac... had no time) and an Anti Xa blood test (to measure the level of anti-coagulation)... I just hope I dont forget!!!!

Other than that ... all is going well. ... it the 'buildup' season now here in Darwin and it is hot... but not as bad as I had imagined... everyones descriptions and stories of the 'buildup' are a lot worse than the actual buildup... so I am thankful for that!

It is school holidays here now... yay... a week off... for me and Aidan... my Teaching prac. is going well (well I have been told that it is???) but I am sure glad to have a week off!!!! Nothing much planned.... except relaxation... which sounds just great....

Until next time... some pics.. of me at 29 weeks...

Cheers

Hi Jodi....you look gergeous.....
I don't know how you are coping in the heat...I would die...
I don't miss those injections at all...well done with no bruising...you must be doing it in the right spot...I always had huge bruises!
Take care and enjoy the next 9 weeks
