Pregnancy - ways to celebrate and document a pregnancy

Being pregnant for the third and most likely last time I want to enjoy the time as much as I can. As I had already passed the first trimester of pregnancy before publicly announcing the pregnancy on social media and the weeks seem to be flying by, I want to cherish every moment of this pregnancy. 

So I want to look at a few of the different ways to celebrate and document a pregnancy - 

Pregnancy - the first trimester (week 1 - week 12)

When I announced my pregnancy on here I explained how we waited to tell loved ones in person. As we waited, by the time we announced it on here and on social media I was already in the second trimester.

Even though the first trimester has been and gone I wanted to write a little about those weeks as a memory of my experience of this pregnancy.

Peeing on a stick

As I've mentioned before I suffer from PCOS (Poly Cystic Ovarian Syndrome) and one of the symptoms I experience is irregular cycles. Because of my irregular cycles I am never certain when I am due my next period or what length that particular cycle will be. As such it is hard to know if I have 'missed' a period.

Even though I was not sure if my period was late because of the PCOS or another reason as I had recently started having more regular cycles thanks to the metformin I am on for my diabetes I started to think there might be another reason why I had not had my period. With a gut feeling and no show period I decided that it would be best to take a pregnancy test.

Within moments of peeing on my cheapy pregnancy test two lines appeared!

A new addition.....

I recently shared some exciting news on twitter and Instagram but until now have not written a blog post about it. So with the news being long overdue I thought I best to pop it down on a quick little post.

As the title of this post suggests, our family is growing and we are expecting baby number 3!

A few months ago when my period was later than normal (thanks to PCOS my cycles are irregular so I can never be sure when it is expected to arrive) and a niggling suspicion I thought it might be wise to take a pregnancy test and was delighted when that second line appeared to show it was positive!

Mother's Day 2015 and some long overdue news........

This Mother’s Day I have been feeling very blessed.

Blessed to have such a wonderful and beautiful boy who has spoilt me with me with an adorable Mother’s Day card he made with his own fair hands.

Blessed with lots of love, cuddles and kisses from my little man.
