First Visit

After receiving the positive blood results, we had to wait 2 weeks for our first appointment, a long anxious wait.........

On the 10 December 2008 we went for our first visit and scan with the Gynae. Our original Gynae was off ill so we were assigned a new one, Dr Schulz. This was our oppotunity to see live pictures of the little person growing inside me. Kim and I kept on looking at each other in complete amazement, now knowing that this was for real. Seeing the little hearbeat was unreal. We got our first pics and had to send them out for everyone to see that evening. I also couldn't believe that this small little 'olive' was making so ill.............

We believe you are a girl. Lets see if we are right.

Kim and I decided to go on a Mini Honeymoon to the Eastern Transvaal the week after we got married, because everything is triple the price in December. So we are going to have our Proper Honeymoon at the end of January in Mauritius.

We can't wait!!!

Overjoyed Excitement

Kim and I found out 2 days before we go married on the 28 November that I was pregnant. What a shock, but complete happiness! We did not expect to get pregnant this fast. I had only been taking Folic Acid and the like for 1.5 months.

Kim wanted me to have a blood test because we were leaving for the Kruger Park the next Monday, and 'if' I was pregnant then I couldn't take Malaria tablets, so that prompted me to go and find out. So my dear sister, Loren, went with me to the Wilgeheuwel Hospital close by to have a blood test done. I had been feeling anxious, like I had butterflies, tense (because I was getting married soon), tired, moody, hungary, bloated - so when my Mom and I collected the positive blood results, everything was clear as day. I then realised why I couldn't pull my stomach in and I was due to wear a fitted wedding dress on the Friday.

I immediately went to the Gynae rooms to make an appointment. The Sister estimated that I was 6 and a bit weeks pregnant. The drive home was the longest ever - I couldn't wait to let Kim know face to face. The earliest appointment was for 10 December.

Wow, this is truly a miracle :)

We are in awe
