Week Eight: Monday 25th February 2008

The nausea from this morning has definitely subsided, and I am hanging out for lunch! I honestly thought that this morning I would loose my breakfast, as I was standing in a group talking to people and all I could think was that I was about to be sick. Two pieces of toast and vegemite later, I was feeling much better, but I simply cannot continue eating like this. My waistline is definitely starting to expand, my pants are a little harder to do up, and I just can’t suck my stomach in so that it looks decent. All this, and Elwood isn’t even 2 cms yet! How am I going to get through the next month without it being obvious?

Had a great night on Saturday baby-sitting Dylan who is now almost four months. He is the most adorable and fun baby, and we had a great time trying to make him laugh. Although I have to say the whole day was quite exhausting, and I collapsed on the couch after a late dinner at about half ten. Ash was really hands on, he gave Dylan both feeds, as well as taking on bathing duties. I was really very impressed that he wanted to get in there and get involved. The most priceless event of the whole night was once we undressed Dylan for his bath, and he then did a big wee all down the front of Ash’s shirt – Ash was so grossed out he let out a big yell which then frightened Dylan so he started crying! All up, it was a lot of fun, and I can’t wait to do it again.

Dad saw the 6 week scan photo this Sunday and he was so excited – it was really lovely. It must be strange having so much information compared to when I was a baby. Mum has asked that I get two copies of this week’s scan so she can compare with her girlfriend at work, whose daughter is only a couple of days behind me with her pregnancy.
