First craving.....

So this is my first craving.... Pineapple!! I have been wanting it for a few days, along with lots of water. I grabbed some on the way to work and nibbled it at 7:30 this morning. 

Today I've felt totally floored and nauseous. I never remember feeling nauseous with my daughter. Trying to keep a front on at work was tough. I got back home in the afternoon and crept back into bed while the house was quiet.

I had to cancel on a wedding reception and just send my partner alone. 

I need to do what my body wants and make sure I don't jeopardise anything with this wee one. 

Roll on 2015

So today I got a BFP, I never thought it was going to happen. On the same day we had our offer accepted on a 1930s house, which I love......... So happy!!!

.......and another one!!

So that's another good friend that's pregnant. I am so happy for her and her husband. It brings a closer connection in friendship. There is nothing better than being in the 'Mummy Club' 

I love having the opportunity to help and give any advice. When I was pregnant with my daughter, I knew very few people with children. But most of the friends I have in my life now are parents. 

One if my friends is due the same week in February as the one I lost, I'm not sure how I will feel at that point. Otherwise I'm doing ok. Happy to be around babies and pregnancy but I sometimes feel why was it so easy for everyone else. 

We have been trying now for one and a half years with only one pregnancy. So I am becoming anxious now and every month I get my period I feel so disheartened. It hard work physically and emotionally constantly trying to concieve

Since last writing on this blog I have given up my career as a Visual Manager full time and reduced my hours down to 12 hrs a week. Which is primarily based in office doing recruitment which I'm really enjoying and learning something new.

My partner has now decided to change occupations. His new job means he is ironically home based ( hopefully not too much) 

I had mixed emotions on this, I had given up 15 years to look after Layla-Rose because he worked abroad so much. But I'm sure everything happens for a reason.

We have just celebrated my daughters 3rd birthday back home in England which was lovely. I honestly feel so less stressed being away from the manic pressure at work and do feel I've become a better mother and partner. Our wee family is in a happy place at the moment, the only thing missing is a wee brother or sister for Layla-Rose ( which she does keep asking for) 

She desperately wants a wee playmate. She doesn't completely understand but she is aware that all my friends have either babies or babies in their tummies. Hopefully now feeling less stressed and tired Mother Nature might bless us one more time.
