5 weeks 1 day

MOOD: Ho hum :S

I’m over my little tanty from yesterday now. No tears from me today! Well, yet anyway. Actually, I’m quite happy that I was able to convince my normal doctor to get my test results so I don’t have to go back to that other horrible excuse for a Doctor again. My appointment with my normal Doctor is at 11:45am Friday morning.

I’ve had a wicked headache all day and again, I’m not sure if it’s related to the pregnancy or not. I’ve taken two Herron but they don’t seem to doing a thing. I wanted to come home from work early today because 1. I couldn’t keep my eyes open & 2. My head kept pounding, pounding, pounding. but I stuck it out. Thinking about having tomorrow off though.

I told one of the girls I work directly with today because she was concerned about my state lately. She’s a sweet old thing. She came up to me this morning and said “You look like you need a hug.” So she hugged me and I nearly started crying again (but I didn’t)! When she walked outside I told her that I was about 5 weeks and she hugged me again! I trust her not to spread the word around the office.

Hubby left this morning for work. I think he’ll be home Thursday but that could change. I told him he better be home before the appointment on Friday or I won’t be a very happy prego wife to come home to! I think he’s pretty excited about it though so I’m sure he’ll make it happen.
I am really looking forward to telling our parents about the bub this weekend! I’ve rewritten a poem I found on the Internet and tailored it to suit the situation. It goes like this…

I don't yet have a face to see,
Or put inside a frame.
Soon you'll have soft cheeks to kiss,
But I don't yet have a name.

You can't yet hold my tiny hands,
'nor whisper in my ear.
It's still too soon to sing a song,
or cuddle me so near.

But all will change come Winter time,
That’s when they say I'm due.
I'll be your first grandchild;
I can't wait to I meet you!

All I ask between now and then
Is your patience while I grow.
I promise I'll be worth the wait,
Because of all the love we'll know.

So July next year is when we'll meet,
I know you can't wait to see me,
And I can't wait to become a part
Of such a great family!

We’re going to hand it to them and stand there while they read it so we can see the expression on their face! This will be my Mum’s first grandchild, my Stepdad’s 6th and Hubby’s parents 3rd. I know who’s going to be more excited! I’m also going to send the card to my Grandmother but change it to Great-Grandchild (obviously?). I should get Hubby to take a photo of their faces when they read the card. Classic!

Love & Hugs :)
