Monday

I have also back blipped yesterday's Aussie Day blip :)

Today has been a day of us recovering from yesterday's big day...bbq at a friend's place. I wasn't feeling well, so I actually left them all there and went back to pick them up later in the evening.

And speaking of not feeling well...I have something to tell all my blip friends. And you get to hear this before most other people, mostly because you're all on the other side of the world, or I don't get to see you very often:) I am now 10 weeks (nearly 11) pregnant with my 3rd baby (my 2nd miracle IVF bub), and I have been so so so sick with morning sickness over the past month or so that I have barely been able to put a photo on here, yet alone comment on my own or anyone else's photo. So I apologise for being so absent. I'm hoping this never ending nausea soon comes to an end because it's been very stressful and I've spent a lot of time either sleeping or lying down.

But, apart from the morning sickness, Scott and I are over the moon with happiness. We had to do IVF to have Zali (considering the state of my insides, apparently Maya was a miracle conception), and we had a couple of frozen embryos left over. We spent a long time talking about it, but as I approached my 43rd birthday, we decided it was now or most certainly never, so we gave it a go. And it worked...amazingly. It took quite a few tries to have Zali, so I was so surprised that this one just happened like it did. I feel incredibly blessed and actually quite shocked...I keep thinking of the many women in this world who struggle to have children, and here we have been successful again...it's quite overwhelming and I feel very very lucky indeed.

It's still early days, and I have suffered through a miscarriage before, so I keep taking one day at a time. No plans to announce to friends here until about 12 weeks, but I feel comfortable in telling my blip friends now. Another appt with my doctor this week, and a 12 week scan next week.

So there you go. I've told you :)

This has been a marathon writing effort. I think I will go and lie down....
