... I shyly took a business card from someone, not knowing that I was starting a trip of a lifetime...

On the road to expansion: The first 3 months.

Everyone knows we wanted a big family so it should not come as a surprise to anyone when we tell them:


RESULT: POSITVE!!!
 On my Mother-in-law's 70th birthday, we make the amazing discovery :) As it is still very early and there is sooooo much else going on, we decided to stew in our little secret for a while. That didn't last very long. 2 weeks later, and I can hardly move because I'm nauseous as sin! Every day becomes an uphill stuggle with hunger, nausea, endless amounts of food issues, exhaustion from it all and from 3 very active youngsters who are all still very dependant on their mom. The battle zone: our house. The biggest victim (other than myself): Michael, who has now become mummy, i.e, nurse, entertainer, educator, vacuumer, mopper, cleaner, laundry guy, feeder, babysitter, cook, referee, disciplinarian, dresser, must do bedtime, bathtime, storytime, wake-up-in-the-middle-of-the-night time, on top of all his usual daddy, school and working AND must now deal with a cranky, hormonal, miserable, lunatic, pukey-feeling wife! Poor guy!! Well... he weathered the storm and came out of it not too badly beaten up. hehe!


1 month - unaware and feeling fine.


2 months - feeling pukey and already showing!
















Due to not being particularly happy with how I was feeling and looking, there is no 3month bellyshot. Since I feel much better now(but now looking all that great lol), I will definately make an effort to take the appropriate pics as this pregnancy progresses.

Though there is no belly shot of me, take a look inside me at 3months :)

The girls are super excited about the new arrival and ask multiple times a day when the new baby is coming, check how much my belly has grown and want to talk "things that we have to/are going to do when the baby comes".
