FIRST TRIMESTER | BABY NUMBER 3
Yes i am actually writing about my first trimester, i am pregnant!. This all seems so bizarre to me and i cant quite believe it yet, although i should by now. If you would like to know more about us finding out and if we had planned this little munchkin then you can check out my pregnancy diary video on my you tube channel :)
So, the first trimester for me has been a bit of a rocky road. We found out we were expecting around 4 weeks and it has pretty much been a bit of a roller coaster ride.
EARLY CRAMPING & BLEEDING
At 5 weeks i had cramping, i wasn't to sure if this was down to me still working my normal shifts, as a carer in the community, and perhaps over doing things so i left it for a few days to see how i got on. After a few days i noticed some bleeding and got booked in for an early scan at the early pregnancy unit.
Unfortunately they were unable to see much due to me being so early on in the pregnancy and re booked me in for the following week.We went back a week later and everything was fine, with a great sigh of relief for myself as i had been a nervous wreck that week waiting.
SYMPTOMS
Initially i had very sore breasts, even the bath water seemed to give me such excruciating pain, which is quite common for me and i had this in my previous pregnancies. This ,thankfully, has eased off and is somewhat bearable. Nausea pretty much throughout the first trimester was horrendous, the feeling of being constantly hungover left me feeling very poorly and i had been unable to eat much and did not have much of an appetite at all.
Dehydration also played a part towards the end of this trimester, and i also had quite a few headaches, whether these two were linked i am not sure but the headaches are now far and few between and i managed to control the thirst.
CRAVINGS
I cant say i have had any cravings so far. I had such odd cravings with the girls and they lasted throughout the pregnancies but this time round i haven't had any of yet. The only thing that i would class as a bit of a craving is oranges and satsumas, i have been really enjoying these, whether they will become a craving,time will tell.
12 WEEK SCAN
So we had our 12 week scan and i have got to say i was very nervous, being a sufferer of anxiety i cant seem to shift the worry of is everything alright, so we went in, we took both the girls, which was lovely, and we all saw little bean. The baby was doing excellent, wriggling about waving and having its only little party in there, which was amazing to see.
So the first trimester is over, seems like it has gone by in a flash!. Lets see what the second trimester brings :)

LAST MINUTE CHRISTMAS GIFT
Christmas is only a week away now so not long left to finish the Christmas shopping. One present me and Scott get the girls every year is a board game. We enjoy board games after Christmas dinner and it is somewhat a tradition now of ours.
Orchard Toys kindly sent the girls 'What a performance' : an action packed game of fun for all the family.
The front cover of the box at first glance looked very fun and we couldn't wait to get stuck in.

TOUCAN BOX TO THE RESCUE
When it comes to arts and crafts, we love nothing more than to spend the afternoon
or a rainy day at the table letting our imagination run wild.One
thing i am guilty of is forgetting to stock up the craft box and we have
had numerous occasions where the girls have been mid way through a project
and have needed something that we have ran out of!

ON THE SICK | BEING A WALKER
One thing I love doing as a hobby is taking the girls walking through the country side . We have the grange that is a mile walk away and it is beautiful. It also has a small cafe to stop off for hot chocolate or an ice cream - which the kids love!
Since starting work I have felt the strain of these days and sometimes dread them or make an excuse for a ‘lazy day’ . Being a career in the community is a very rewarding job , it has its difficulties and also challenges every day but I absolutely love it and love the sense of giving something back
