A little surprise came into our lives!

Well I know that I have been seriously slack over the last 6 months, but I do have a reason, we had the absolute shock of our lives when after weeks of feeling really tired and rundown we found out there was a reason for this fatigue and it had to do with a little person growing in my womb.

Now anyone that knows us, know that a third child was the last thing that was in our plans.  I unfortunately am so unwell when pregnant and the thought of putting my family and friends through something like this again was the last thing on my mind.  Don't get me wrong I love my children but anyone that has experienced Hyperemesis would understand the pain a family goes through and the on going affects this illness has on you.  Severe morning sickness is an understatement, more like all day and all night sickness.

It was a huge decision this time to go on medication straight away as I could not contemplate life with two children and being this unwell.  I am talking about vomiting in excess of 10 times a day and feeling so weak and depressed that just the smallest task seems impossible.

Thanks to a very understanding husband, I truly don't know what would have become of me without you  and with the help of some amazing friends(Cath, Linda, Dot and Kathryn) I feel I could not have got through the last couple of months of school and general household activities and all the mental support you have provided me with. There are so many others also so please don't think I have not appreciated all you have done and are currently doing to get me through this hard time.

Our house looks like a bomb has hit it but we are getting by.

So it looks like we will be blessed with another little angel some time in early May.

Apart from feeling gross and still a little green all day, I am feeling slightly better hence I have the strength to blog for the first time in nearly half a year.

I will hopefully blog a little more to keep everyone up to date with our amazing little miracle.

After a scary  first scan(we were terrified that there might be two hidden away somewhere and whew there was only one)! We can happily say we are looking forward to adding a number 5 to our family.

On a final note, I have to say that this little one, looks very much like a Nyssen baby already.  Counting down the days until your arrival little one.
