Pregnancy diary so far...

Baby Bennett on it's back, i think. When we saw it for the first time it was jumping up and down, excited to see us, but not as excited as we were to see it. I was holding Jamie's hand so tight he lost feeling in his fingers but he never complained once, like the trooper he is.

The test! One or two weeks pregnancy, actually two. When i did the test I was so excited/nervous/freaked out that I did it at 5:00 in the morning and then I went into the bedroom and said Jamie I am pregnant to which he said 'That's nice I am sleeping.' And I said 'Arne;t you excited?' And he said 'I will be when I am awake.' And then I said Jamie 'I am having a baby!' By this time he was back asleep so i though if you can't beat them then join them so I went back to sleep as well.

Things I can't eat, all of which I am now eating by the way. You will see that Jamie and I had to write mouldy foods as something not to eat, yes because we often go scavenging for food in the rubbish bin.

My belly at two weeks, the baby was smaller than a peanut, don't judge I had just had a big meal, okay that's a lie it was first thing in the morning.

More baby pics to come when my belly gets bigger.

Where have I been?

The last blog update was in July, July! well I don't need to tell you my faithful followers, I'm sure the only people reading my blog now is my parents and because my mum has the slowest internet in the world probably just my dad who is on holiday at the moment so no one is reading my blog. It's like the old saying if a tree falls in the forest and no one is around to here it does it make a noise?

Anyway since we last spoke there have been ch-ch changes Bowie style. The biggest change is that I am pregnant! exciting and freaky at the same time, actually not so freaky anymore more just a little bit annoying. The annoying things about being pregnant in no particular order are:

Not being able to drink alcohol

All day morning sickness, no vomiting but I felt hungover all day for about 5 weeks, complete with headaches. Feeling hungover but not being able to drink. Oh the irony.

Eczema all over my legs and arms when I was in New York. I looked like a leper.

tired all the time and then sleeping during the day and not being able to sleep at night.

Zits. actually i had zits before but i am blaming the baby because somehow it's less shameful then blaming myself for picking my skin when I am bored.

Having to wake up and wee in the middle of the night like a 80 year old woman, by the way when this does happen to me at 80 or whenever, I'm wearing nappies. Already decided.

And because I am only 13 weeks I look fat not pregnant, that's right fat, not pregnant. I keep on stroking my stomach so people think I am pregnant but I just look like a perv.

On my god I forgot the most annoying thing being unable to eat any, I mean any, of my favourite foods like salami, any types of cheeses that I like and I can't remember all of the other things I can't eat but salami and cheese that's bad enough. Oh not it's not I'm also not allowed to eat any rare meat. Jesus.

A strong aversion to anything tomato based or with cream on it. Cream I love cream. So basically I can't eat the foods I like and don't want to eat the foods I like and I am allowed to eat. Dramaz.

And I have a new job at gmtv, it's a breakfast show in the uk like Breakfast in New Zealand but obviously not as low rent because it has 10 times the budget. Really nice people and I feel really lucky to be working there. Especially since I am going on maternity leave soon.

So soon I will be a mum and Jamie will be a dad. Last night in bed Jamie suggested we call the baby after him, Jamie Jr. I mean really.
