I'm back posting and I have big news

Firstly the excuses. I've had some news which I wanted to keep a secret for a couple of months even though part of me wanted to tell everyone as I was/am sooo excited. It's pretty hard to post about other things when there is really only one thing that is taking up a lot of your spare thinking time ! Then when I finally started announcing the news I got a really bad cold. Basically for the last couple of weeks I haven't done much but work, sleep, cough and sniff but I finally seem to be getting better.

So back to the news (hopefully I've told most of you in person already), I'm now 15 weeks pregnant and both my husband Greg and I are really thrilled !!

For those of you that wondered about my strange behavior at TechEd (I found out only a couple of days before that I was pregnant) hopefully that helps explain why
1) I made some kind of lame excuse as to why I couldn't go when you invited me out drinking
2) I was drinking juice when I could of been drinking free beer.
3) I didn't go on any of the cool rides at the party except for one go on the Wild West water one before I remembered I wasn't supposed to !
4) I kept disappearing at before 9:30 at night (that was about my bedtime at that stage !)


The important details so far:
  • We had our first ultrasound two weeks ago and as you can see by the picture the baby has all the important bit's developing ok, at least as far as they can tell when it is so small. I can't even begin to describe how amazing the ultrasound was, but those of you that have been through the experience I'm sure know what I mean.
  • We don't know yet if it is a boy or a girl and although we will be happy with either we are both keen to find out at our next ultrasound in early December.
  • My due date is April 30, which while it means I won't be going to code camp oz but somehow I don't think I'll mind

Right now I just wish we could fast forward a month to our next ultrasound so we can get another look at the little guy/girl and know that everything is going ok :)

Congrats!!! I'm so happy to hear you are going to find out if it's a boy or a girl, are you going to tell people? It saves from getting all the gifts in yellow or green ;)

Congratulations! That is great news. I'm sure you will enjoy every bit of it. Except maybe the birth :P...my wife says that part sucked!
Good luck with everything and hope to see you at the next VSTSUG catchup.
