Baby no.5

Fifth baby

January 21, 2005

10 weeks

As I sit to write my stomach feels as it is preparing a mass that it is readying to projectile. ( Yummy). I really am not enjoying feeling nauseated and tired and have to keep reminding myself that it is worth it for the little life that is growing in my womb. David spoke to the baby today and that really made me feel special. As a woman it is hard to forget that you are pregnant and at times it can become all consuming if you are feeling sick. For the man, he doesn't get the constant reminder all day but I must admit that he must be aware of it when his wife is throwing up or when he has to take on extra chores as tiredness takes over his wife.

David has been great. He has really stepped up to the mark and has done more to help in this pregnancy than any other.
David has also had to contend with my family that constantly and not so subtly make reference to the fact that a small operation may be a good idea for him. The poor boy can't win. My family tend to worry and so he did not want to worry my Nan when she phoned to see how I was. He said I was O.K and that it would be over soon, she interpreted that as that he is not very sympathetic. I had to inform her about how good he is being to me. My family really are great and mean well but sometimes don't know when not to say something or if they do they say it to someone else rather that the person directly.

The baby is now 3.5cm approx. I see my midwife on Tuesday and I am hoping I will get to hear a little heart beat ticking away.
My belly is starting to get a little larger, not so much from the baby but from gut distension. My stomach always feels full.
