13 weeks 5 days

Wow what a week! So busy at work with dramas dramas because of international shipments being mixed up by one of our suppliers, angry clients (not to mention angry bosses :/)

I had a killer migraine on Tuesday morning which appeared out of nowhere overnight so I was absent from work on Tuesday which pushed my work back further! It was agony as the only thing I can take for it is paracetamol which does next to nothing for the migraines I get. I am very proud of myself though because I only took one tablet the whole time! What a selfless mother I am!! I know that paracetamol is safe to take in small doses and temporarily, but I believe the less medication of ANY kind going through my baby's body the better.

I'm looking forward to the weekend, although I'm working again tomorrow morning until lunch time, then hopefully catch up with my mum who's up from Albany this weekend. Then on Sunday I plan to go to church in the morning and then pick up my dear daddy and Beth and go out for a late lunch. I really want to catch up on relax time and if I get a chance I want to get a massage because I can feel all the tension in my shoulders! I've been wanting to go and get one for a couple of weeks now but have been too busy to accomodate it! Maybe Saturday afternoon, after work I will just do it!

Well I am in the 'feeling and looking fat' stage of pregnancy - not big enough to look pregnant, but big enough to look as though I have a fat gut! My lower abdomen just above my pubic bone has popped out a bit so my belly has an up-side-down-pear-shaped bump! I can't wait until my belly looks pregnant!!

My skin is quite good at the moment (touch wood!) which is nice because I usually have quite oily skin and a few pimple problems which I attribute to monthly hormones. So maybe my hormones have smoothed out a bit, but I'm enjoying my nice skin (apart from a few blemishes!!)

I'm hungry ALL THE TIME! I don't have any particular cravings, but my stomach always feels empty and hungry, especially at bedtime when I'm trying to sleep! Right now I feel like eating tacos with nice fresh lettuce and tomato, yum! I might have that for dinner! The other day I just had to have a fresh white roll with sweet mustard pickle spread, ham and lettuce. It was absolutely delicious... actually now that I mention it I want another one!!

12 weeks 5 days

I got my scan pics today! Yay!

I told my employers about my pregnancy on Wednesday and they were good about it. My direct boss is actually quite excited! So that is definately a weight off my shoulders I don't have to worry about what work will say anymore.

After I told my bosses I told other people at work and everyone is really happy for me. So now this feels like "wow it's really happening" (not that it wasn't happening before but now I'm past 12 weeks and everyone knows it feels more real).

I announced my pregnancy on Facebook and I got so many people answer back congratulating me so that's really nice.

Work is still quite busy but I'm on top of everything (even though I have to work tomorrow Saturday - bummer!)
