Pregnancy Diaries: Catch Up Weeks 12 &13

Week 12

My appetite has improved slightly this week and my main cravings are still red grapes along with Mc Donald's cheese burgers as the latest addition. At this point, as I am not able to eat much, I will eat what ever my body is able to handle even if it may not be the healthiest thing.
We had our scan this week which was surreal. I think the combination of me not having a bump so far and the reality of having a third child not hitting home yet meant that it has't felt real so getting to see the baby up on screen made it all come to life. As the first scan is a dating one,  I was desperately hoping to find out that I would at least be as far along as I had thought and not behind, just so the sickness would be over sooner rather than later. It turns out that I gained a day and was bang on 12 weeks so I was over the moon. After finding about that everything looked as it should at this point, my husband and I have decided that we will keep the news to ourselves just a little longer.

Here is a picture of baby :)

Week 13

Well the secret didn't last very long! Two days after the scan a couple of people had guessed, due to me being so sick. We were worried that the kids might hear our news from someone else, we wanted to be able to tell them ourselves and see the look on their faces. So we sat down as I showed them the scan and told them it was a picture of the baby in mummies tummy.

Naima was so happy and Camron asked if we would be having any more after that, the answer was a firm no, haha. Since then I have been bombarded with questions from them and get nightly kisses on the tummy for baby which is sweet.

My mum was surprised given that in previous pregnancies, she had been told almost as soon as I found out however was happy that I was further along as she wont have to wait as long for baby to appear. It has definitely been a relief to be able to tell people who have been asking if I'm all right but at the same time we are not broadcasting the news just yet until we have had the 20 week scan, which is when more health issues can be picked up. I am officially in the second trimester now so let the weeks roll in on quickly from now on.
