Yes... I definitely AM pregnant...

It is 100% official, that I am pregnant, and there IS a bubby.

I had a ultrasound yesterday (after some spotting and cramping), and we got a piccy of little Bubinski, and I saw that even littler heart beating away.

It still hasn't helped with the not feeling pregnant thing. I still feel really strange about the whole thing, I guess once we start breaking the news to family it will be more real, and once my tummy starts poking out.

I still haven't made my booking in appointment, that's how slack I have been with this whole thing. Plus now we have bought the second car seat, we have everything we will need to buy, so there will be no shopping for baby clothes or any of the stuff that I did last time. I'm not even buying any pregnancy magazines, and haven't got the old ones out much either.

Also, the whole thing is just so routine... there's no 'unknown'... I know all the tests they do, I know what the clinic is like, I know the routine of the ultrasound, there's nothing new and exciting about it...

Lucky we have decided not to find out Bubinski's sex at the 18-20 weeks scan! Otherwise all hope would be lost! I could just imagine, I give birth and say, "Oh no I don't want it, cos I've been there before, it's all boring now." Hmm, not good, not good at all!

OK, so looking at all that, here is my plan of attack to get myself all excited about the pregnancy...

I MUST make my booking in appointment at the hospital
I MUST go out and buy a pregnancy magazine
I MUST put the ultrasound picture up on the fridge so I can look at it, and must scan in to the puter so I can post it all over the net!
I MUST go out and buy one cute little item for the new baby, and keep it by the bed
I MUST start planning our engagement party (for the purpose of bean spilling!)
I MUST buy a Father's day card from Morgan and Baby brother/sister to grandad

I also have to get packing for our visit up to townsville to see my parents. I am so excited about it, I get to tell Dad about the baby, plus I get to see my Aunt I haven't seen for 15 years, and on top of all that I just know that Nanny and Grandad will love their Morgan! And (this is the selfish bit for me...) I get to go somewhere warm!

Hopefully I'll get something blogged about the progress on the excitement factor before we leave, we'll be leaving in two weeks!
