Well, there you go...

Yesterday I returned home after a week away in warm, stormy Queensland with my two kidlets. I stayed with my good friend, Mel (who is really more of a sister). We had a really good time. We didn't do anything much, but it was just nice to be in each other's company. Plus I got to meet her newest addition, 2 month old baby Felix.

While I was up there visiting, I started having some, shall we say, suspicions. On the drive to the airport yesterday I mentioned these to Mel... who quickly encouraged me to do something to confirm my suspicions once and for all.

I'm being vague, I know.

Mel and I found a pharmacy at the airport, and not long after my suspicions were confirmed... I am pregnant with baby number three! I never thought I'd find myself doing a test in an airport toilet, but sometimes you just want to share a moment with a good friend!

I sent hubby a text telling him I had a surprise I was bringing back with me, and not long after I caught my flight home. During the flight I brainstormed on and off, ways to break the news to hubby. In the end, I snuck off to the toilet at the airport back home and did another test. Another very quick appearing positive - yup, definitely pregnant.

At home, while hubby was out getting me ice cream (haha), I wrapped up the test...

Later, I asked him if he wanted his surprise and I brought out this little package. He had no clue... he unwrapped it (after much difficulty, it was very well wrapped), and unfortunately opened the pee-end of the test first... oops. He was very happy though. He said "That is awesome" and gave me a big hug, and then listened intently as I told him all about finding out for myself.

There is so much I want to do with this pregnancy. I want to really attempt to enjoy it, as I'm pretty sure this will be our last baby. I want to keep a record of it too, which I where this blog comes in! I'll post lots of belly pics, and how I'm feeling along the way. Also, I really want to make this pregnancy a healthy one. My previous two pregnancies I was very overweight, unfit and unhealthy. Now I'm not, so I really want to make an effort to keep myself that way. I plan to continue exercising as best I can, and keep eating well in the face of the dreaded morning sickness. All of this and more... This is really just a place for me to waffle on about my pregnancy when no one else probably wants to hear about it.

It is very early days yet. I think I'm due around July 28th, putting my at 4 weeks, 3 days today. This could all very well turn pear shaped still... But I'm still allowing myself to feel excited. It is exciting! And I am looking forward to an happy, healthy pregnancy, birth and beautiful new bubba.
