I'm Nine Weeks tomorrow...

...and as my sick note runs out today I am hoping to go back to work. Im not convinced how I am actually going to do a days work but I am definitely going to give it ago and see how I get on.

The past few days have been up and down. Ive started to get tummy aches that after a while turn into sickness. Its like my tummy is trying to hold onto some food before it comes back out again! I dont remember a day when I wasnt sick but at least the queasiness seems to come and go now rather than stay here permanently.

I weighed myself yesterday and I have lost a stone. I was weighed at the doctors three weeks ago and came in at nine and a half stone (which seemed a lot to me) and now I am eight and a half stone. Hardly surprising really and Im sure I'll put it back on in the second trimester.

Nine days and counting to the scan - really looking forward to it. The appointment letter mentions nothing about drinking lots of water before the scan so Im not sure if I need to do that or not. Dan is coming with me and then he is off up to London for a work meeting. I hope we get to have a photo.

My life certainly seems to be completely engrossed in the baby/ pregnancy world already. Hopefully when I am well again I can start to enjoy non baby things again!

Rico has been doing a very good job of keeping me company but as its a sunny afternoon she is finally off out for a little play. She can sleep more than me and thats saying something!

Day time TV is driving me mad - well the adverts are anyway so Im glad that I can sit up for longer and use the pc some more. Mum has Imy today so I am hoping she will send me through some photos of Imogen walking. Bless her. I feel like I havent seen her for ages and I miss her.

The subject of Christmas Day has come up already this year! Lou and Niall are apparently having a marquee (incl. flooring and heating) erected in their garden and are hosting a Christmas Day family meal for 17 people! Good luck is what I say! It'll be nice for Imy to have both her Grandparents there for her. Dan and I are hoping to do this too if we can arrange time to also spend with Dan's family. I will hopefully be about 5 months by then so I will have a bump! I still can't picture me with a bump!!
