One plus One makes Three




We are very excited to be new members of the "parents club" Although this membership is probationary we should ~ all things being equal ~ be fully fledged members by the end of October when our little jelly bean (JB) is due to make its appearance.

Today we had our first check-up and so far so good. JB has good heart beat at 139/min and is right where it should be for now. Dr is pleased and seemed quite in amid by what she was seeing. I must admit that it was quite awesome to see the fluttering heart beat but the rest really didn't make all that much sense to us lay parents-to-be. According to the scan, I am now 7 weeks and 1 day pregnant. However, this is all too confusing as according to my cycle dates I should be 8.5 weeks......... so we keep wondering??

The progesterone poisoning as aptly named in a book I am reading, commonly know as morning sickness and tiredness has its moments but am pleased to know it will pass within the next few weeks. And as a few of our JHB friends have already witnessed, "porridge brain" has also set in. Sadly, I have been assured that this will not pass so I must just get used to it.

Our next check-up is in April, so will keep you posted.

For the record, well done and welcome to the club. At least the timing on this made up for delays you guys previously had us suffer through for life changing events!
