I’m back!
Been a crazy few weeks for me here and Justin gave me some advice which I gladly took. I was feeling very overwhelmed with my lot in life and he said “Sometimes you just have to step off the escalator, watch it speed past for awhile, gather your thoughts, gain some perspective, and then jump back on there again”.
So here I am , jumping back into the ‘frantic-ness’ of my life.
Firstly, I have a confession to make. The reason for my poor health is because I am Pregnant!
Secondly, the reason for my poor health is that I was not taking the news so well. This will be my 4th baby, and it took me somewhat by surprise. We had pretty much decided that 3 would be it. I was loving how everything was cruising along, I was in good shape, I was happy working, Holly was starting school and we had a big holiday planned for September while minding my neice for 6 weeks. Seeing that little blue line on the pregnancy tester that indicated positive meant that everything in my world was going to change. I didn’t take it very well. Ask Rach – I was a mess.
So the past few weeks have been a rocky time for me emotionally and physically. I’ve been feeling unwell with monring sickness and feeling crazy with mixed emotions. Basically I thought that I was insane, because I dreaded that people might think that I didn’t want this baby, but at the same time, I just didn’t want to be pregnant right now.
So I’ve worked through a lot of these issues and I started to tell people about the baby. Once I began to let go of the fact that nothing was going to change this situation and come September I would have another child, I began to feel much better about it. In fact I am getting rather excited about it. Today, Rach took me to have an ultrasound. It was the best thing I could have done. To see that little baby, all 2.58cm of it, heart beating rapidly, squirming around, bought a tear to my eye. I connected with it and said a little “hi baby” and now I just cannot wait to hold it in arms and kiss it’s little nose.
Nine weeks down, 31 to go. I’m going to be a mummy and I couldn’t be more thrilled.
Glad it’s out now! (The pregnancy not the bub! LOL). You know I’m here for you. You look wonderful by the way!!! xxx
Busy busy busy little baby!
Didnt have time to stop, be still and wave to us, was way to busy setting up the place. Making sure things were comfy, frantic busy busy baby!
Almost a 1/4 down and just like with Jess you are going to look fantastic and Im going to have to slap you – lovingly of course.
Thanks for letting me be there.
xxxx
YAY I can publicly congratulate you now! CONGRATULATIONS
What a crazy time for you emotionally and physically, but it is all perfectly understandable!
And now things are making sense! You are the friend Rach was referring to about having a baby in September so therefore her not going overseas!
Regina xoxo
WOOHOO!!! Congratulations Fran. 🙂
It is exciting news and I am pleased you had the ultrasound today – and that it wasn’t twins. LOL
Glad you are feeling better too.
Looking forward to seeing you next weekend,
Ro
xxoo
LOL, yes Regina – I am the cause of Rach delaying her trip O/S. Something that I felt so bad about, but would secretly hated her missing this huge event, so I am glad that she isn’t going after all !!
And thanks Ro, Can’t wait to see you next weekend either. I’ll be able to show you the picture of Junior!!
Rach – it meant the world to me to have you with me today. I hope you know how much I appreciate your friendship and love you dearly.
And Dear Moi – thanks for being there. You are the only one I know with 4 kids and still sane, so you are my hero!!
CONGRATULATIONS FRAN & CO!!!!!!!!!!
OMGOSH!! Congratulations Fran, that is such good news 🙂
Hi Fran.
I have ducked accross to your blog from Rach’s I hope you don’t mind. I wanted to personally say congratulations and after reading your blog I also want to say you are a very strong brave woman! I admire your courage to share your feelings and mind set and I too agree with Justin telling you to get off….take a breath and get back on again!
All the best with that busy busy bubs and fingers crossed when that little bundle joins you it slows down a bit 😉
Congratulations again.
Sandi 🙂
I wouldnt miss it for anything!
You know I feel the same 😉
Huge Congrats Fran!!! I know i would feel the same as you – I would have huge mixed feelings if i fell pregnant again!! Glad you are looking forward to bubs now though!! (Hint – September 14 is a good Day!! My bday!! LOL!!)
Congrtulations Fran. Wonderful news. I came across from Rach’s blog as well.
Thanks also for being honest about your feelings about another bub. We were also shocked that I was pregnant (long story, due in June.July) and it took me a couple of weeks to get my head around it too.
Have a wonderful pregnancy and I hope all sickness disappears asap so you can enjoy it fully.
