The Precious Little Wriggler...

So I am a bit late joining Sian's storytelling Sunday party, but I thought that the theme of sharing your precious would work well with my exciting news (that I hinted at last week).
My 'precious' is my 12 week scan pictures.
It's been a bumpy journey getting there.
I was pregnant last April, but sadly lost the baby in June - a week before our scan was due.
I struggled afterwards with anxiety and sleeping at night.
For a while life was pretty hard.
So when I fell pregnant in October I took some convincing that it was true.
So I couldn't quite believe it when I saw the little heartbeat at eleven weeks.
I am due the 10th of July.
A summer baby.
I have been very sick, tired and constantly nauseous.
But it will all be worth it when we get to meet the 'Little Wriggler.'
This is what the doctor dubbed the baby when it wouldn't stay still during the scan.
In fact my husband said it was doing jumping jacks in my belly!
This suggests that it will take after him.


Layout mainly completed using Amy Tangerine goodies - my first actual layout in four months!
 Here I am at four month's pregnant....
with a rapidly expanding belly that is getting trickier and tricker to conceal from the kids that I teach at school!
I hope that my story brings hope to other couples who are trying for a baby, or who have suffered from similar setbacks.
I found support and inspiration from complete blogging strangers who shared their stories and one in particular who helped me to admit how I was feeling.
Now that the sickness is subsiding I hope to blog more.

I think it's one of my fave ever! from the polka dot backing to the inked orange overlapping rectangle...to the 3 varied letterings for the header - the 'hello' is my fave! and I love the little banner and tag, so cute! Your baby is going to have the best scrapbook around!!!

  7. Congratulations!!! That is a wonderful precious. My first was a wriggler, even at 15 he still sits on the couch with his legs in all sorts of contortions and is never still. It makes for an adventure!
