Shopping with Lentil Bean
We went off to the States this weekend. I bought some comfy maternity bras and some maternity tops at the outlet malls. Our ultrasound was booked for Sept 13 and I am hoping all will be well. I feel fine and Poppy is now the size of a lentil bean! 5 more weeks until we tell Baba!!!

Taking it all in...
Mark and I told Keith and Hiro about the pregnancy yesterday. Well, actually, I told Hiro but Mark had already spilled the beans to Keith and his other gamer buddies including Shane (and Jess) on Friday night. He might be worse than me!!! :)I still have 6 weeks to wait until my trip home when I want to tell my mom...THAT IS A LONG TIME!
I felt a little achey and like I was about to get my period all day yesterday but so far this morning, I feel good. I think everything I am feeling is stemming from anxiety more than anything else... fear things will end. Each twinge I feel in my belly is noticed because of what happened last January. I need to get past it... time should help with that!
I am also looking forward to going to the US this weekend- I will look for some comfy maternity bras and other clothing.
Yesterday, I bought 10 onsies of various sizes for $12 at Walmart. Good deal!!

Blood Tests Confirmed
I was home again today. I just needed these 3 days to process it all. I called the doc this afternoon and they confirmed I am pregnant. I told A.L. tonight, then she told U.G. and their neighbour. I am still going with the plan to surprise my mom when I arrive in October BUT I may burst keeping it in that long!!! Wish me luck!

Spilled the beans...
I could not resist telling my hubby about my test so I showed it to him tonight before dinner. We are both happy and hopeful...
Pregnancy Week 4:
How Big Is Baby?
Your baby is growing—but she's still very, very small. This week your baby is no bigger than a poppy seed.

Excited and Shocked and Cautious too!
Today started off wonderfully because I found out about Poppy! Poppy is what I call the baby we are going to have because shortly, it will be only the size of a poppy seed and from that, we will end up with a miracle!
Lately, I have been waking up between 4-5 am to have a pee. This is unusual for me. I was also expecting my period so my breasts were very sore so I decided to take a test at 4:30 am! I grabbed my last Clearblue digital from my closet and went into the loo. I sat ans waiting for the blinking on the screen to stop and then it happened... the screen said "pregnant". After many tests I had taken in the last 6 months being "not pregnant", this was a wonderful surprise!
As I type this, it is mid-day at work and I have not told a soul. I want to wait a little longer since things are in such an incredibly early stage (2 weeks!). So much can happen and it could all end tomorrow. I really hope it doesn't though because if we are successful this time, our Poppy will be born sometime late April 2012.
