OOPS!!!

Well then, our story has taken a very unexpected turn. 

The wedding plans has currently been put on hold. Not for any bad reasons, we are still planning to marry although there are more immediate planning that needs to be done, before March 9th 2014. 

If you haven't already guessed, T and myself are expecting our first child. Although it is early days, I thought I would like to keep a diary of my pregnancy showing the good, the bad and the ugly! It was not planned but we are growing more and more excited about having a little bundle of joy all of our own!

So, since I am currently 5 weeks and 6 days pregnant, my first 'pregnancy update' will be on Sunday every week. 

For my first pregnancy post however, I found a tag on YouTube with some questions which I found pretty interesting so here it is:

1. How and when did you find out you were pregnant?

It was Monday 8th July 2013 and I ran to the shop at 9am and bought a box of two pregnancy tests and came home straight away and took one.

2. How old were you?

I was and am 18 years old and will also be when my baby is born, I will turn 19 one month later.

3. How did you feel?

If I'm totally honest, the first though was rather explicit. However, after seeing T's reaction, I was a lot more relaxed and have constantly been getting more and more positive about the whole thing.

4. How did you tell your partner?

I shouted him into the bathroom as soon as I saw there were two lines and simply showed him the test, his reply was 'so my baby is in there?' as he held my belly (cheesy but also very sweet!)

5. Did you wait three months before telling people? Why/why not?

Since I am not three months yet, I can say that I have told my immediate family and T has told some of his but we are waiting until our first scan (at 3 months) until we announce it on Facebook.

6. Is this your first?

Yes both mine and his.

7. Do you want more?

Yes, definitely!

8. Your biggest craving?

Orange Juice, I have drank soooooooo much!

9. The best part of pregnancy?

Knowing that I have a life, created by me and someone I love growing inside of me.

10. The worst part of pregnancy?

Feeling tired all day every day! and feeling really sick.

11. Will you find out the gender? What do your prefer?

We are unsure at the moment but we more than likely will. I wouldn't prefer one over the other but I keep saying to people I have a strong feeling that I am having a boy!

12. Do you have any names picked out?

Not really for a boy but we like Lily/Liana for a girl!

13. What's your birth plan?

I have always liked the idea of a home birth but I know that T is very uncomfortable with that. So if I am in a hospital, I definitely want  a water birth which as little pain relief!

14. Will you breastfeed? 

I really want to try as hard as possible to breastfeed but I am also aware that complications my arise where I can't.

15. Do you plan to work/be a stay at home mum/mom?

I plan to be a stay at home mum at first but if all goes according to plan, I will  be running my own business in the future.

16. Will you make your own baby food?

I would definitely like to explore this option but again, I do not know if it will be the best option for us!

17. Do you have any nursery ideas/themes?

I was flicking through Pinterest and I love the idea of having a rainbow theme since it would go with everything.

So there we go. Until next time!
