I am still having the same right sided pulls and twinges and pains very low down, but I noticed once or twice this afternoon that I had the same kind of sensation on my left side, so...
Today something new - my bleeding turned BROWN this morning!!! At laaast!! This makes me feel a bit more confident that it's just my usual pregnancy bleeding, as those always are red, red, red, red, kind of still red, brownish, brown, brown, dark brown, gone! :) So all this time I have been hoping to see the colour change, but nothing until today. Of course I have since had some red bleeding, but I'm still encouraged to have had some brown.
I have not felt quite as nauseated today, I am not sure why... I am so paranoid right now, lol! I have (thankfully!) definitely felt queasy throughout the day, but much better than recent days. I am super tired and having a hard time staying awake today.
I put up some photos of Lydia in a little outfit I bought for her, on Facebook today. I bought her a tutu because she loves to dress up (already!) in pretty dresses and ruffly skirts. I promise it's not my leading! ;) She squeals when they arrive in the post, and tries to put them on straight away! As soon as they are on, she says, "Daddy?" because the first thing she loves to do when she has new clothes on, is to show her Daddy - so precious! She likes to parade a little bit and sticks her tummy RIGHT OUT and pats it to show her clothes. Because Daddy was at work this morning, she went up to each brother in turn who happened to be in the room, and stuck out her tummy and patted her clothes with a sweet little smile - and of course they were very adoring and flattering! :)
Anyway, I had this idea, involving teeny 2mm hot pink diamante stickers! ;) I am always wondering about fun ways to announce a new pregnancy, and this time, because my last baby was my first GIRL baby, it HAS to be done using the term "big sister"! I honestly can't wait!!!! I have to wait until after the scan, at the very earliest, because I need to know first if this is a viable pregnancy. I am itching to tell, already!! I can hardly bear to stay silent over such an amazing, miraculous, joyous happening!!! I'm having another baby! My little girl will be a BIG SISTER!!! (I'm so glaaaaaad! I hoped she would have the blessing of a younger sibling!) I (we, all of us) get to do this wonderful rollercoaster all over AGAIN!!! So so so sooo exciting and thrilling! I feel fairly confident about the pregnancy right now, and can't wait for confirmation that it's all okay. Next Thursday can't come fast enough! :)
Here are the photos I posted today, of my sweet little 18-month-old daughter:
Then I had a little practice attempt at my idea. I took a photo, but she was beginning to get bored of photos, and had picked off a couple of the little stickers, lol! Anyway, I HAD to come here and post this one (hence the others, for context), because it almost did me IN to not post it with the others at Facebook! :D
"Big Sister" is just such an exciting thing for me to write!!! And to think, I was only just in absolute shock that I was going to be referring to one of my children as "she" and "her"!!! I'm amazed at God's blessings! Wouldn't it be hilarious if I had two girls in a row, after alllll these boys and thinking that no way would I ever have a girl?! :P
