What a week!

Well i seem to be making the most of our wonderful medical insurance! After suffering with my eyes been red and itchy for 3 or 4 weeks i went to the doctors and they in turn sent me to an opthalmologist. It turns out i have a bacterial problem that would be sorted with steriod eye drops, because of Frosty thats a no go so currently i am on a bathing eye routine and then weekly checkups to ensure it doesn't get worse.

I then decided to try my luck at tile skating! Not recommended for the pregnant population. I managed to slip off the bottom stair on to the freshly mopped tiled floor and cracked my left leg on the stair as i fell - Yup i broke my leg!!! I cannot believe i did it, im so clumsy now. Thankfully after seeing an orthopedic surgeon yesterday its going to be an easy fix. I have broken the non weight bearing Fibula so it will just take some time to heal. I have a fancy boot to wear but i'm allowed to take it off to bathe.

Here are the x-rays

So on a better note we also had an appointment with my OB. We like her a lot and very happy she will be delivering our baby.

we got all the info on screening and have to set up a couple of tests - i am now planning to do this next week due to the above :-)

We also got another Ultrasound. We heard the heartbeat which is in the 160's and sounded really nice and strong.

All is well in the frosty department which is awesome. I have decided to give up work now to rehab myself and get over all these silly ailements

Here is frosty at 10 weeks and 2 days

Mushy Brain anyone

Wow this being pregnant comes with some really whacky side affects that are not written on the packet :)
My memory seems to have left the building for now which provides many moments of amusement in the supermarket when i walk up and down the aisles 2 or 3 times muttering to myself to try and remember what on earth i went in there for. Of course everytime i get home i've still forgotten something!

Tiredness is still showing its ugly face on a regular basis and most days after a work a 3 hour siesta is featuring, right now i dont know how i ever worked 15 hour days

3 weeks to the magic number where it all lifts apparently - hmmm we will see

We graduated

So today was our last appointment with my lovely fertility doctor. She was late as always but why change a habit now :) I took them some cupcakes as a thank you to the nurses and the rest of her team and they were very happy.

Frosty has been doing lots of growing over the last week going from 6.78mm to 17.34mm right on target and with a strong heartbeat. I got to hear it for the first time which was pretty cool. We were unable to get a reading of the BPM but i think thats down to their old machines, hopefully my regular OBGYN's machine will be newer and fancy.

The team gave me a blanket,bib and spoon all with their logo on it for Frostys first present and sent me on my way. It was kind of sad but exciting at the same time.

I have to continue injections for one more week, this will be a great thing to stop as it's becoming more stressful and more sore to do. last night saw the first lot of tears as it went through some scar tissue.

As for my allergies and eczema i basically have to continue to suffer a little. Its not advised to take anything so im going to work through it. Its really not all that bad in the big scheme of things

So here is Frosty today at 8 weeks and 2 days

I think S/he looks more like a fish here. The head is at the bottom left and the small bit sticking out the side is an arm bud :)

The doctor says there are 2 arms and 2 legs - how she can tell is beyond me but thank goodness
