A Dachshund Dream - Mammoth Bone

Other days Daisy the Dachshund finds sticks to chew but came one day she had to blink twice. She found a 13-inch mammoth bone. Needless to say, the mammoth bone is at least 1,75 million years old and contains no nutrition for Daisy :)

But you have to look at Daisy's photo! Also read more @ Daily Mail

First ultrasound

I had serious doubts whether this was real or not and as I had experienced some cramps, I had a doctor's appointment for an ultrasound. There it was, something resembling a peanut, with a heartbeat. The peanut was alive, right where he/she should be, in my womb, everything okay. I didn't cry or have a hysterical outburst. I looked at the monitor and was pleased. Everything's okay so far.

As I left for work, I sent a text message to hubby saying "Houston, we have a heartbeat."

From mom&dad to being grandparents

Six weeks

Told my mom yesterday about Peanut. Went to have a mother-daughter day, drank some tea and as we were talking I said she was going to be a granny. Her eyes watered and we both jumped up from the chairs and hugged. My eyes also went Niagara falls on me.

Told dad today, as we were visiting him. His reaction was a big nothing. I think he might've said congrats but I'm not even sure. So we talked about something for a while and then we left.

Horrible...morning.....sickness....

Horrible...ten o'clock....sickness...try a little mineral water.... not helping...

Called mom yesterday and asked if we could have mother-daughter -day on Saturday. If my father cancels our meeting, that is. Talked to him also yesterday. His neighbour had died just two days ago. All considering, he sounded chirpy. He only lies about everything so I've no idea whether he actually wants to see me and hubby 'cause he always says yeah, let's meet and cancels when he realizes we're coming.

How the hell can I tell my mom about the sesame seed before the family get-together? I know she'll act funny. I will have her eliminated if she does. I'll make the point clear if I tell her. This is soooooo important to me and hubby.

Whew... mineral water helped a bit...

Morning sickness, my ass

People always talk about morning sickness. I realized it wasn't just morning sickness when I reached week 6. Oct 11th, I had nausea and womiting all day. It began there and didn't stop until week 14 or 15.

Had an appointment with the ostheopath or however you spell it. I told him straight away I was pregnant and asked whether it would affect my treatment. He said it would a little but closer to week 12 so no worries yet. He was genuinely happy(!) for me! He said congratulations twice and smiled! Wow. I really really like him.

I contacted my local nurse to book the first appointment to see how the pregnancy is going. It's not until the 26th. Hubby's going too.

This is bloody ridiculous, it's day 41 and I've already had morning sickness. Today 5 o'clock and as I came to work I had to run to a faraway restroom so no-one would hear my not-so-feminine-sounds. It's like 229 days until the offspring comes out. The Offspring is sesame seed sized now. I read that somewhere. GAAA.

I was sooooo tired last night I missed my weekly excercise. But I had to go for a walk with hubby and dogs, I would die if I didn't move my fat ass before the birth.

Hubby want's to tell the whole world we're expecting! His cheeks are smiling all the time. I know he's happy. He says he's happy 'cause he sees me happy. Well, I'm happy 'cause he's happy so there we have a loop. So we're maybe telling my father next weekend and hubby's parents the next. I wanted to tell my mother asap but she is somewhat a question mark. We have a family reunion in the shape of doggie welcome party (hubby's uncle and their family took on a pair of homeless dogs) coming in couple of weeks so I know she'd be there all over me and telling everyone she'd be a grandma soon. Goddamnit mom... I need you to shut up about it. I know she doesn't know this yet but I already see myself saying shut up. Hubby's parents though...they're a piece of something else. I know I can rely on them. My sweet little four-pawed babies have been in daycare at hubby's parents and I really can trust their doggy-caring abilities. Hooray for my in-laws!

God forbid. I'm already feeling sick to my stomach.

I was hurt by a co-worker this morning. I know I get hurt easily but this was awful. He was rude to me and I couldn't understand why. I know I didn't say anything wrong, I can remember all the things we said on the phone. I said to him he didn't need to be rude and well....all went downhill. I thought I was being friendly all the way. When the call ended another co-worker came to me and I asked him whether the other has something wrong with him. He said that this other has had PMS for ever since his closer co-worker came back from mothersleave. I was wondering why he poured it down on me since I had done nothing to him. I was almost in tears. Shit. I'm always almost in tears but this "condition" is definitely making it worse.

[ LUNCH ] I had pork, mushroom sauce and mashed potatoes for lunch. Mashed potatoes are a definite favourite but first time in my life I couldn't shove it in! I was caught by the cook with a funny look "You're never getting mashed potatoes again". God, the shame....

So...today: tears, nausea...what else...am I really pregnant?

One line or two?

I went to the pharmacy and bought a test. Went home, took dogs for a walk, washed some clothes, dishes and then I gained enough courage to pee in a bowl. Five minutes it took. I was amazed to see two hole pink lines there. It seems I'm pregnant. Wow. And then it hit me and I cried out of joy like 15 minutes. Hubby came home and saw my pink eys thinking I had my period. I couldn't hide my smile and said I needed a hug and "you'd be daddy soon" :). Well...we have until June next year. If all goes well. Hubby was about to tell everyone. He said it was a status symbol =D heehee... "We did it then" =D His smile was the one thing that made my sooooo happy. He said I should worry of his behaviour when the child is old enough to get on his nerves. And then he realized I was going to be more of a worry than him =D =D =D

Pregnant or not? Day 36.

Today. Today I'm gonna buy a pregnancy test. Ehm.... dare I? It's been seven days since my period was to be but no visible sign of it. Three days now I've had tummy ache and odd pressure. Almost like period but it's been all the time. I have to pee every second hour. I had no migraine when before possible period. I already thought I jinxed it on Sunday as I said to hubby my period hasn't started. This is scary. I didn't want to think of being pregnant. Hubby even said I could have period later because of the amount of stress I've had in the workplace. But I had a major iron diet and the stress has also relieved over the last few weeks.

God, I can't get over the fact this might be it. And I jinxed it again. Of course, it will be a risk pregnancy because of my illness and slight overweight but I'm working on it. Really. 'Cause there might be someone in there who needs me. Please be.
