Tonight I experienced what I would most definitely classify as morning sickness, except that it was evening - typical me!!
Hadn't eaten anything and was just sitting at my desk when I suddenly just felt like I needed to be sick...and so I was, thankfully not at my desk.
It wasn't too bad, I have experienced worse after my bypass and to be honest I am glad...it makes this whole pregnancy thing seem more real!
2.5 weeks until we see the specialist now...not that I am counting :o)
Keep on growing lil Chickling, Mummy can't wait to meet you XX00

You have a heartbeat!
Well Mummy is now 7 weeks pregnant - it is a little interesting how this works because the doctors count the first day of pregnancy as the first day of Mummy's last period which was 6 March. Of course Mummy did not actually get pregnant until a couple of weeks later but as the doctors can rarely tell what this date is accurately they count from the first day of the mother's last period.
Anyway, you are probably not going to understand all that until you get quite a bit older which is fine by Mummy! The point is that now you have a heartbeat :o) Mummy and Daddy have the first appointment with your specialist on 18 May which is just over 3 weeks away and then we will get to hear your heartbeat - I can't wait :oD
Mummy is still buying a few things for you (and for her) but is trying to be restrained - this does not come naturally to Mummy by the way!
Mummy has also been feeling a little tired, though not very sick so I am hoping this will kick in soon as this is supposed to indicate that you are doing well and growing. Though of course Mummy may regret saying this once the morning sickness does kick in!
Sleep tight my little Chickling, Mummy and Daddy love you very much XXOO

Hello there little chickling
Hello little one
We're just under 8 weeks away from when we have the first scan, and if all goes well, we'll be able to tell everyone that you're on your way. Of course, it's the longest 8 weeks ever. I keep wanting to tell people about you -- I almost gave the game away at work today!

So, 8 weeks and then you become general knowledge. In the meantime, Mummy and I just share a private smile whenever the topic of babies comes up.
Daddy.

Just a little bit of shopping....
Hey little chickling,
Mummy has been doing a little shopping lately, she likes to be prepared and to plan ahead as Daddy knows well and I am sure you will learn quickly :o)
The biggest purchase so far has been a second hand lazyboy off TradeMe as Mummy wanted a comfortable chair that she could feed you in when you arrive. Mummy and Daddy will go and pick that up on Sunday.
Mummy has also worked out exactly which cot and change table she wants to get for you but we are going to wait a bit longer before we get those. Of course now Mummy knows the current best price and can keep an eye out for bargains!
When you first come home you will be sleeping in a hammock which your Aunty Sarah and Uncle Jason are kindly lending to us. Aunty Sarah tells us that this will be good for your developing spine (and she would know as she is a chiropracter) and will also help you feel more settled when you first arrive in this strange new world.
Your furry guardians to be, Summer and Merlin, have not yet worked out that something is different with Mummy but I think they will soon.
The little baby cam at the bottom of your blog tells us that you already have a heartbeat, which is very cool, but that it just can't be heard by the doctors yet. It also tells us that you are growing very quickly at the moment, perhaps that is why Mummy has been a little more tired than usual - oh dear, you are already wearing her out :o)
Lots of love and butterfly kisses,
Your Mummy

Hello baby!
Hello baby - it's your Mummy here :o)
Daddy and I found out that you were on the way just over a week ago (on Friday the 3rd of April). We are both very excited but still can't quite believe how lucky we are that you are on the way!
Mummy has been feeling a little tired but not too sick and has already booked in with a specialist so that we can make sure that everything goes well and you will be wonderfully healthy when you arrive. Your specialist doctor's name is Meera Sood and we will be going to meet her on 18 May - Mummy will be 8 weeks pregnant then!
You are due to arrive in this world on December 11 (which is a Friday) and Mummy and Daddy already can't wait to meet you - it still seems so far away. Right now we are focusing on when Mummy will be 12 weeks pregnant with you and we can share our joy with more family and friends (we have already told a few special people as we were sooo excited)!
Lots of love,
Mummy

Why "chicklings"?
Occasionally, when Juliette gets in one of her funny moods (literally -- she'll be completely incapable of being serious, which is very endearing), I refer to her as my "crazy chicken". Hence, the baby she's carrying is our "chickling".
Logical, no?
And to further prove it...
The blood tests the doctor ordered show Juliette is very definitely preggers!
