I am officially "THAT" girl...

Oh Wow Desiree!! Congrats! You see, well, when we started ttc I had learnt that nothing is how we plan it, as Im sure with you you probably didnt know you would battle to fall pregnant, and from there you just know that things are not all mapped up in our heads, and look, you didnt want another one but God thought differently dear and huge congrats are in order and you will be a great mommy to 2!! Big smiles all round!

OMW Desiree - that is awesome!!!!!

Just shows we should never judge as well , you never know until you are in the same situation.

Congrats to you and Hein, I am tempted to congratulate him in the hallway, but don't worry, I will wait until the announcement is public at work as well

A brother or sister for Connor - awesome

WOW!!! Congrats!!! I'm sure you're still in shock...how crazy to think in THREE -FOUR months a baby you had no idea about will be here???

No changes in your tummy size that you noticed?

Really amazing!

Hi all...

Gosh, this feels like I'm telling or reading the story of another girl...anyone else, but not mine...lol

For those of you who know me....my road to having Connor was not an easy one.... I had 4 miscarriages before having Connor and my pregnancy with Connor was filled with months of fertility treatment and then a cervical stitch and ALOT of stress, he he - but my little baby boy was born in March 2010 and I was over the moon to finally have had a baby!

Before Connor came along, I always said that I wanted 2 children....blah blah blah....lol....but then, when I had Connor....and realised how much work it actually was, lol, I had basically decided that 1 was more than enough for me.....and definitely had NO plans of having another baby for a very long time....if ever!!

I found out in December 2010 that we were being relocated from JHB to CPT and it was such a huge shock for me to take in, as I had lived in JHB all my life. So, with effect 1 Feb my little family moved down to CPT to start our new lives here...things were tough, very tough, I missed home terribly and Connor had some health issues which left him sick and ill for the next 2.5 months - it was a very trying time indeed...however, we decided to take him out of creche and my mom moved down to look after him at home. This was such a godsend, and I just LOVED having her down here....she is so good with him and he has never been healthier or happier, things were PERFECT!!

I had my first CPT moomie meeting a couple of weeks ago...where I got to meet a few of the Moomie moms.....which was awesome....and I really started to feel that things were now making sense for me....and it was just a really nice time!

This past Long weekend, was where everything changed.....on Sunday night I was lying in bed....about to watch the MNet Movie.....and being naughty and snacking on a chocolate, he he......when I felt VERY clear kicks and movements from inside my belly....I knew very well what I was feeling, but could not for the life of me believe it.........I felt a few more movemetns.....and called my hubby and mom in a panick.....but the feelings went away.....and I tried to convince myself that it was a figment of my very over active imaginiation, obviously.

Monday morning...we drove through to Hermanus for a fun day out....but I couldnt concentrate on anything, I couldn't sleep the night before and i had this niggling feeling that I had not imagined things the night before.....but my mind could not comprehend it....any of it.

I bought a HPT that afternoon...........and then another 2 more, and after 3 POAS sessions....lol....they were all positive.....I was pregnant.....but not only that, i was feeling kicks and movements already....so how far along was I??? I was stressing out....how could I have missed this? no symptoms?? how....impossible....surely.....

Anyway, I've sicne had blood confirmations that I am approximately 22 - 24 weeks along already, and I have my very first gynae appointment tomorrow afternoon at 3.

I know you will be thinking the followign - didnt I notice that I had skipped a period? thing is.... I have not had a single period since before Connor was born....my cycles were always messed up, which was part of my fertility issues.....but when I saw my gynae last year, he wasn't stressed about this and said that it does happen that many women take up to a year to have normal cycles again...and that I should not stress as I was healthy in every other respect. My hubby and I have also only had 1 intimate encounter in the last 6 months.....on 1 December 2010....not because we are having any problems, but because with the CPT move....adn Connor being constantly sick....and me being homesick for JHB...things have just gotten past us....life just hapenned and we weren't focused on intimacy....we are still as solid as ever though!! so....I knew that if I had gotten pregnant, it could only have been fromt hat 1 time. The bloods yesterday confirmed things...and the dates match completely.

I am still in shock...not really sure what Im feeling at the moment and cannot believe that I have become "that" girl.....the one who claims never to have suspected a thing about being pregnant....I have, in the past, judged those girls....much to my detriment now....and I apologise upfront....lol........becasue I am now that girl.....I had no idea that I have been expecting all this time.....and I am nearly 6 months along.

Its insane...my little Connor is only 13 months old now....so I will, very soon, be the mommy of 2 small children.....*gulp*.....talk about panick stations

So..here I am...announcing to the world, that i will be a 2nd time mommy very soon....much sooner than I EVER imagined!!
