Six Weeks - and feeling good

So we are at the start of our 7th week and still feeling great.  No Morning Sickness to report as of yet (touchwood), a little bit of mild nausea occasionally but only for a few minutes, feeling a bit tired but all in all feeling great.  I am one of the lucky ones I guess.

The only thing I am struggling with is food.... I am such a fussy eater to start with so it makes it hard when all the good stuff I like is a no no because of the risk of Listeria which causes miscarriage.... Some people have said don't worry about it, there never used to be all these rules and we were fine and had healthy babies, but advances in medicine have given us the ability to prevent these things so why not give it up for a few months, Its for your baby after all.... I am particularly struggling with Lunch at work.... but I am getting there.  Just need to get into a routine.

I have also noticed that EVERYONE offers their advice, even people who have never been pregnant.... but the best advice I have been given is 'take what the doctor says very seriously and listen to what everyone else says, thank them for their advice and pop it on the back shelf and don't take it as gospel' Everyone will always have an opinion on everything right through to how you raise the baby so you just have to smile and get used to it I guess.

Went to the GP on Wednesday and got all bloods confirmed and my referral was sent of the the RBWH for my antenatal appointments and my scan between 11-14 weeks to detect the possibility of Downs Syndrome.  So we are on the count down now till we get to see our little BellyBean for the first time!

It is really difficult trying not to get carried away about baby stuff, we aren't buying anything until after 15 weeks (cause we don't want to jinx it) but I have found myself googling Prams and Cots and Baby Names.... Its so hard to control yourself when your so excited!!!

So now we are just playing the waiting game, which I am not very good at cause I am so impaitent.

Apparently this is what BellyBean looks like now.....

I have joined all kinds of websites to find out information.  I am amazed about what is going on in there and love reading about it all.  

So touchwood everything continues going along smoothly and the mroning sickness stays away.

Have a good week!!!! only 34 weeks to go!!!
