10w 6d

Today I recieved a doppler in the post from a friend... naturally I tried it out straight away. Initially I was playing around, had it on its loudest but couldn't hear anything other than rufflings. But then finally... there it was, teeny tiny gallop sounds. It was such a relief - im sure if anyone saw me they would have seen the biggest smile on my face. I called out to hubby and he was able to hear it too. So amazing - a faint but definate heartbeat!!! Its only going to get louder as Petrie grows too, can't wait!!!


Its amazing how much relief one gets from the small things such as this. Its going to make the next 6 days before my scan so much easier - knowledge that there is someone still growing inside of me. With each day its becoming more and more real that this is actually happening - I just want to shout it from the rooftops that "WE'RE FINALLY HAVING A BABY!!!!"


The days seem to be getting a bit faster now that im in the double digits too - its not dragging as much now so thats a bonus :)


I keep looking at my belly, wondering if im actually getting a bump of sorts - while im not a big big girl, I did have a tummy on me.... however it looks like I may just be getting the beginnings of an actual baby bump. Still not worthy of a photo, but worthy of watching out for!!!


This weekend we are off looking at baby gear - time to get an idea of whats out there and what will work for us! Can't wait to start this part of the journey... well have already started with the cot but can't wait to get more things and set up the baby's room :)


Im just getting so so excited now!!! Its real, its actually happening. I will be a mama xx
