I had acupuncture and consult today.  Feeling good.  Feeling excited, even though it is early days.  I did another pregnancy test.  As tragic as this is, I took a little video of the second line developing on the test. I couldn't help.  I can't believe we got the one shot in.  G is so proud of himself.

A walk at Manly, watching some volley ball, Miss S cheering (was so funny), ice cream and a lazy Sunday afternoon.  Very happy.

She is so delightful and she is so playful and cheeky with G. She makes him laugh.

Master O is wondering how he is going to eat through the thick chocolate dipped cone.

Miss S is tucking in to a cup with sprinkles and chocolate sauce, her favourite.

I love walking around chatting with Master O.  He is so observant and curious.  It's wonderful.

Yesterday G grabbed some groceries for the week, I picked the kids up and we were all home for dinner. It was great.  G has alot of things going on with work and pulling together a contract so it was great to see him laugh with us at dinner.

I couldn't wait

I'm suppose to wait until tomorrow or Wednesday to test.  Can I wait that long?  No.  If we were home on Saturday and not at the wedding I might have tested Saturday night.

This morning I got out the test.  3 long minutes.  Geoff dozing with the test in his hand.  I'm getting ready for work and preparing kids lunches to keep distracted.  3 minutes!  Then I go and check.

Bingo!  A micracle.  We're pregnant.  The one shot we had before Geoff went to Canberra, and it worked!  Wow.

Geoff wasn't surprised.  He said that he knew.  My body has been so hot, there was an interesting mood swing that Geoff probably thought was hormonal. But it wasn't, I tell myself.

Yahoo.  Two pink lines.  We're going to have a baby in November!  Very Exciting.



Country Wedding

This Saturday we attended Kye and Rhiannan's wedding.  Geoff's cousin.  It rained three days straight and the come the wedding the rain eased and they were married on the pier and the Toronto Yacht Club.  It was nice.  This was the first time I got to meet Geoff's family.  I'd heard so many stories about them that I was really looking forward to meeting them. 

Majority of the family are still based in Tamworth.  There were so many first and second cousins it was fascinating.  They were all so lovely and interesting in their own ways.  I had such a great time.

What I learnt about country weddings: 
- You get to watch the football from our table during the reception and speech. Love that.
- If its free alcohol, no one leaves till the bar runs out of alochol. 
- You must dance. 
- Family is the most important thing in life. 
- If some one doesn't finish their meal its pickings for others. 
- By the end of the night most women had their shoes off and were jumping around on the dance floor.
- You can stand up straight and be asleep at the same time.
- Never act surprised, even when there is a tokin Egyptian man married to a cousin at the wedding.
- Don't drink herbal tea (my mistake).
- If you order lemon, lime, bitters you  must say it's Vodka when they look suspiciously at your drink.

I had acupuncture today. It was lovely, it really helps me slow down and relax.  I'm day 22.  For me this means 5 more sleeps and I can test.

I've felt a few pangs today on the left side.  Once of the right.  I'm hoping its implantation and not my breakfast and lunch talking.

Lily said my pulse was good, glow on my face is good, eyes looking good. She would like to do blood tests on hormones but its wait and see at this stage as I'm taking the progesterone.

Is it the calm before the storm.  Things are very slow paced, not much going on.  Generally, it means enjoy the slow pace before the busy period ahead.  I'm on the count down at the moment before I can test. So the week is dragging on.

G thinks I must be pregnant because I a space cadet.  So vague and just in another world. I laugh it off but he's right.  I wonder if the Clexane is slowing me down as it thins my blood. (some thing to google later)

Yesterday I was a bit on edge and not myself.  I must stop irrational fears swalling me up and draining my mood and energy.  G noticed my sullen mood and tried to make me laugh and snap me out of it.  To his best efforts it was impossible.  To his cerdit, we did end up laughing before bed.
