Hello lovely ladies,
I really wanted a go at writing a blog and although many people that write update blogs are so much further on than me i feel already i have a little bit of a story
My partner and i have been together for just over 18 months, absolute love of my life, you know we took it slow had only known each other 12 years before we got together.He has been in the Army since last July and i couldnt be prouder about how far he has come. We decided that once he had his first posting i would move with him and we would live off the base together as we didnt feel an urgent rush to get married.
After both initially saying when we first got together we didnt want children, everywhere we looked people were having babies, so after my last trip to the doctors for my pill we were curious to find out how long it can take to get pregnant we were told on average its about 1 to 3 years especially after being on the pill for nearly 10 years. So we decided that this was my last prescription for the pill and we would let nature take its course (if it was going to take a while we could get plenty of practice in ;)) and we would be living together and settled when the time arrived.
i took my last pill on Xmas day and came on 28th December 2012, and that was my last period, 25th Jan 2013 period due and all ready for a night out for my best friends birthday but didnt feel well, my best friend and partner kept saying just take a test to prove a point i did it and there were the 2 lines, couldnt quite believe it and with it being a cheap test i didnt trust it but 3 tests later (including a clear blue digital as the last one) i started to believe it but still did another million tests.
As many of you are aware, i was nervous and anxious from the very beginning worrying about every little thing, 6 weeks slight bleed in to EPU confirmed the pregnancy and called me back 2 weeks later as it was still early and couldnt see much, at 8 weeks there was our little 15.4mm bean. 13 weeks and 4 days my partner made it to my scan appointment with me for the first time and there was our baba sitting upright being a little tinker and sonographer struggled to get measurements, Scan picture actually looked like Bean was singing down a microphone, just like daddy who loves the kareoke machine.
So i have a friend who is due the exact same day as me with her second, she was experiencing flutters and again i started to panic but around 17 weeks i thought im getting a lot of wind and spoke to my cousin and for the first time i accepted i could feel our Bean, i panicked when my friend said her partner could fell flutters from her bump as my man had tried the week before when i felt it and couldnt feel anything but as i was lying down on Sunday night i had to shout my mum i told her to put her hand on my belly, her hands were freezing i felt bean move and said did you feel that she said no but as she was saying it Bean went again and she said i felt that one 
at the moment im averaging about 5 hours sleep a night im exhausted but as long as Bean is ok i dont mind, The boyo is home Friday morning in time for our 20 week scan, if possible we are definately finding out, id be lying if i said i wasnt scared about the appointment so worried they may find something wrong still. We have our names and all being well i will share them next week with you as we are pretty much set for a boy and we were for a girl but i have thrown another one in and now we are torn between 2.
I know i still have another 20 weeks to go but i would like to say a massive thankyou to all you lovely ladies who have shared experiences and advice with me
Thankyou again and sorry for going on
