A Pregnancy Journal - Pregnancy Crazy Dreams‏

Last night I had one one of those crazy pregnancy dreams that you get from time to time whilst pregnant. I woke up this morning and was like wow that was weird and told DH all about it. So this is how my dream went.


I was pregnant and in hospital as I went into labour, so I was waiting around for a Doctor but I wasn't in any pain and the Doctor told me that I couldn't give birth naturally or via a c-section that my husband had to give birth to our twins. I'm only pregnant with one bubba this time so this was a bit odd and the fact that my hubby had to give birth. So anyway hubby gets all ready for his c-section and we have 2 healthy baby girls that are tiny 1.6kg each but other then that no other problems and they didn't have to go to NICU so we got to take them home right away.


When I told DH he was like umm yeah I don't think so that would be a bit odd.

This is the only crazy dream that I can remember but I'm sure I will have many more. But at least last night I got to sleep through the whole night without having to use the bathroom at 3am or some other ungodly hour.

A Pregnancy Journal - Halfway There

So we are now past the safe stage of 24wks. Bub is very active and kicks mostly at night when I go to bed and doesn't like DH's hand on my belly, bub will stop kicking so poor DH has only felt a few kicks. I still don't really feel pregnant at all and if it wasn't for getting kicked then I wouldn't even know I was. We have been trying to come up with a few names for bub but it's so hard as we don't want something that 10 other kids in his/her yr will have, but middle names are easy. If it's a boy then it will have DH first name as his middle name and if it's a girl it will have a name from the family history like our other girls have. Oh and her first name has to end with A just like my name, and our daughters names. Gotta have some tradition I think.

25 weeks



Just thinking ahead of time atm but last time in 5wks I went into labour for the first time with the twins (29wks). The Doctor said I shouldn't go early this time and last time was just because of the twins, so I hope so but I would love to have bub at 38-39wks naturally as the Doc wants to induce me because of GD, he doesn't want bub getting to big. So I'm gonna be trying every trick and tip around to go into labour naturally. But that's still a while off although I know it will be here before I know it.


It's going to be very interesting as DH is putting in for another Job and if he gets approved then we will be moving down to VIC in July! So I'll be 35wks or so along. So I will have to have a hospital bag packed ready to go and note down all the hospitals on the trip down just in case. Good thing though as we will be only 2hrs from DH's mum and step-dad so she will drive up to babysit the girls when I go into labour.



We can't wait until our next scan which should be at around 30wks as the Doc wants to check on babies size so hopefully we can find out what the sex is. I don't mind if we don't find out but I know DH really wants to know. I look like I'm carrying high so that means I'm ment to be having a girl but with the girls I was carrying low, so who knows. Only time will tell.
