Edison's Birth Story!
So she's 9 weeks old today and I finally wrote up her birth story! I put it over on my main site so it can be with Vincent's birth story!
In the next few days I'll write about my recovery from the operation and how we went with breastfeeding.

Pregnant with Edison >> Video
Here's a video I made a few weeks before Edison was born. It chronicles most of my baby bump photos.
Oopsie!
My bad, I kind of lost motivation to write about my pregnancy.
She DID get born though.
Meet Edison Wednesday Rae
She's 8 weeks old now
Vincent loves her very much
I'm going to turn this blog into a family blog, and I'll be updating it soon to talk about my struggle with breastfeeding the first week, keeping an eye on PND plus the all-important Birth Story!

29 weeks
Not long now!
Everything is almost ready, just need to finish painting the cot and that pretty much does it. Today I showed Vincent all the photos the nurse took of when I had him. He was pretty interested, I'm fairly sure he understands exactly how everything happens. A week before she's due we're going to have an advent calendar up for him to countdown the days until she is born.
Pretty exciting stuff!
Overall I've felt good. I'm getting over the anxiety and guilt I've felt since 20 weeks, one day I swear I'll get into it but right now I still can't because the people involved still wear it as a very fresh wound to them.
On the positive side, and something that I've felt nervous about announcing until now due to the above reason, is that my little Vinnie + Eddie are getting a cousin!
Here we are together when I was 23 weeks pregnant, and knew we were expecting Edison. Hayley was just 15 weeks pregnant!

Hayley is the wife of one of Tim's older brother's, Adam. It's their first child and they are VERY excited. We are very excited for them, for Vincent and Edison to have a cousin.
Here's a photo we took last weekend, they live in Brisbane so we don't see them that much. I was 28 weeks and Hayley was 20 weeks and they found out what they are having. The name is a secret though which is driving me crazy! Haha.
I carry just as high as I did with Vincent, and I've already started the slow walk -although it's not quite a waddle yet! I've been nesting a bit too, even though I am in denial about it and insist that it's just me trying to organise the house. So far it's been going REALLY well. Vince's room is sorted, Edison's room is sorted, our bedroom is almost sorted! All the cupboards in our house have finally been cleaned out and we have a lot more room. I found things that hadn't been unpacked since we move in here 2 years ago!
Tim has been working on the finishing touches of the cot. It used to look like this, modelled by my fat little 3 month old Vincent at the time:
The cot we bought for $50 after going to pick up the change table we had bought for $25 on eBay. The woman had some stuff and sold it to us pretty damn cheap! So the cot was a plain natural wood colour for Vince, And now it looks like this:

| Brave husband painting in the cold |
I wanted it red and white to go with the spines of Dr Seuss Books. Her room is Dr Seuss themed, and I have a feeling all the colours are going to be a bit WOAH but we'll see. The nursery has one wall that my parents painted orange {they're the landlords} and it's hilarious because it's the room that used to be mine when I was 19.
Luckily I never actually did anything regretful in that room! Heheh. I did spraypaint a pair of ugg boots in there though, and the carpet never recovered. Also in glow in dark paint I wrote my name on the windowsill, which we only just noticed about a year ago.
This was Edison's room the other morning. We had only just got that chest of drawers and I spent the entire day working in her room!
I painted that change table from a raw Ikea colour to one with tentacles all over it. I did that when I was pregnant with Vince, and I couldn't paint over my hard work! I considered getting another change table to paint Dr Seussy but that's just silly!
Edison's room at the moment {we got new blinds yesterday which block out the sunlight so I'm REALLY happy}:
Where Vince is testing out the cot mattress is where the cot is going to go.
That's all for now. Having a 4D ultrasound soon, and my 30 week midwife appointment is this Friday! Won't be long until they give us the date of the c-section!

25 weeks
I need to take another bump shot in the calendar tee but I have no motivation right now.
Since we found out WHO is inside me and since the other things that happened around then, I've stopped counting the weeks. I know it's weird, but I know she's safe and healthy and I know that in July we get to see her. I guess because I've done it before that I'm not AS excited week by week? I also think it's the guilt that I have my baby while someone close to me doesn't have hers.
Edison is a super active little alien! She's always moving around and a few nights ago we could actually see the bumps in my belly moving when she did. I'm not sure whether it was because I had two jobs when I was pregnant with Vincent and rarely sat down, or whether he just didn't move as much, or because it's my second pregnancy and all my muscles know what they're supposed to be doing - but she seems to move SO much more than he did.
Something that I suddenly realised at my last midwife visit was that if my uterus is supposed to be like 2 inches above my belly button, where are my organs?
WHERE DID MY DAUGHTER PUT MY ORGANS?
One night I researched it with some of my friends {on twitter ahah} and we discovered that my intestines are still on top, and that my stomach is slowly being pushed somewhere up behind my boobs.
Incredible.
And yet I am still alive, my body works fine even with my organs in all these weird spots.
Check out this interactive video of how the baby grows and where your organs go {the bit where the baby disappears was kinda scary though}
Physically I'm doing alright. I'm still really tired. I've finally put on weight. This entire pregnancy I had actually lost 2kg, even though the morning sickness I had didn't include throwing up. I think my body was still losing weight naturally from when I stopped my medication earlier last year to prepare for a second baby {the medication made me put on 16kg in one month...} Now I weigh 61kgs, which makes Tim very happy. He was very upset at me for not putting on weight, even though apparently it is quite normal to not start stacking on the pounds until the 2nd trimester.
Baby Brain is at a record high.
I feel like I need adult supervision, because I am constantly forgetting what I'm supposed to be doing, when I'm supposed to be doing them or why. I also forget what I'm saying halfway through a sentence!
The only hiccup so far is the hospital. And I'm going to save THAT for another post.
I've been whipping up cute little clothes for Edison, you can see them all over at my main blog under the Girl tag.
This also came in the mail a few days ago, a Star Wars blanket I had made for her by FlyGuys on Etsy. Can't wait to wrap her up in it!
Etsy has been so inspirational and I have a shopping list of stuff I want/need for Eddie! I also bought this hairclip {I swear I am getting her non-Star Wars stuff too! ahha}
This R2D2 clip came from Bubbipop and I may or may not have been wearing it myself!
I've been collecting all the inspiration and things I want to buy and make my very first ever daughter over on my Pinterest board - Edison Style

20 week scan: It's a...
That's right! A GIRL!
WHAT?
HOW?
I was so surprised and speechless. I mean. I WANTED a girl, but I never thought I would ever GET one! I was so sure I'd have another boy, and then another one after that. I was going to be like Tim's mother and have three sons and then everyone else in the family would be having girls.

The scan took a long time, and as I mentioned earlier I was having crazy conflicting emotions because of what someone VERY close to me was going through at the exact same time.

| Four Chamber Heart <3 |

| Knees, shins, ankles + feet |

| Clever Girl's spine |
Right now I'm 22 weeks and doing well, really well. Baby Girl is moving around like CRAZY, she's very very active which makes me happy.

Hi!
Yes still here and still pregnant. Just been a bit hesitant to blog about my pregnancy at the moment. This post deserves to be longer and more detailed but bottom line is that something pretty heart-breaking happened to my family a few weeks ago and it's been difficult to know whether to be happy or to be grieving or what to feel.
I'm okay now though, it's just something you don't forget.
One day I'll write a more detailed explanation <3

12 Week Scan - Meet Alien!
Yey! Here's the scans from my 12 week ultrasound. I put labels on them so you can figure out what you're looking at.
Here it is! Our little alien! Is it a little boy or a little girl? We don't know. I still call it by the name we chose if its a boy, and I HATE calling it an 'it' so I call him a 'him'. So until we actually find out at 20 weeks what HE is, don't think I'm accidentally giving away a secret I know about. Because I honestly don't know, it's just easier this way and more personal.
We called Vince, Vince, since we fell pregnant with him. I just had a feeling it was a boy. I have the same feeling now but I don't know if I'm right or not!
Trust me every time I write on my facebook that HE is kicking me or HE is making me feel sick or I have been working in HIS room, the comments go nuts as people think it's a boy and I haven't told them. NOT YET YOU GUYS.
This is my favourite scan of him. Look at that cute little spine! So clever and straight. I always look at Vincent's little back when he's doing something and think how cute it is.
Ah this scan makes me laugh. Look it's a chicken drumstick!
Here is my clever little baby's beautiful brain! See at the bottom there is the measurement. His brain was 2.3cm wide at 12 weeks! SO TINY. Working so hard to grow and grow and grow.
Aw this is SO CUTE. Look at that little butt. Can't wait to hold it and wipe stinky poo from it.

17 weeks
I haven't taken a photo yet! I'll do one tonight. I have yet another hair colour too haha!
My huge secret I mentioned last time has turned into TWO huge secrets. It's killing me! All will be revealed very very soon!
If you can do math, which I can't, you will see that it doesn't make sense for me to be 17 weeks right now. Shouldn't you be 18 weeks? I hear you ask. Well um, yes. My last midwife appointment, which was my first actual proper consultation and went for about two hours while we went through all the drama and complicated details of my birth with Vince and my post-natal depression and the part where I tore a ligament in my abdomen last time that meant my muscles were flapping free {oh FUN}. Anyway at that appointment she put me back a week with my due date. So I turned 15 weeks twice - which is sort of like the time I turned 16 twice because I thought 17 was an ugly number.
So Sunday I turned 17 weeks, which is exciting because I'm SO close to halfway, and in two weeks we're going to the big 20-week ultrasound where we can FIND OUT BABY'S GENDER! I'm not even excited.
I snuck some pics of the midwife clinic last time I was there, I'll take some more this Thursday.
They have a playroom down the end with a huge tv and dvd player. There's lots of toys for kids of different ages. Vince worked on a puzzle with my mum while we waited.
This is the view from where I was sitting in the playroom. There's a small sitting room to the right, the kitchen is to the left where we could make ourselves a drink if we wanted. Through the hallway is a big loungeroom on the left, the consultation rooms are on the right. And then there's the front door and the little reception area. It's probably the prettiest place ever.
We got to hear Baby's heartbeat at the midwife appointment, even though I was only 15 weeks then {the first time I was 15 weeks. lol}. It's all so amazing to me because we saw and heard nothing of Vince when I was pregnant with him until 20 weeks. Vince got to hear the baby's heartbeat and was SO excited. He sat up with me while she checked me over. Then she put the doppler on his chest and we got to hear his little heartbeat.
I burst into tears because last time I heard Vince's heartbeat was when I was pregnant with him. And now, almost 3 years later, he's sitting there all excited about this new baby. When we got home mum found a heart-shaped cookie cutter in Vince's toys and showed him how his little heart beat again. Now whenever he sees anything heart shaped it's "heartbeat". Quare {square}, Twangle {triangle}, Cirque {circle}, Dar {star} and HeartBeat {heart}. He's so awesome!
I did have a rough week about a week ago, I think it may have been because I carried Vince to the bus stop to go to a playdate, and then couldn't resist carrying and cuddling all the gorgeous babies that were there. My abdomen muscles KILLED for the entire week afterwards.
I went to yoga the next Monday and all the stretching really helped! I felt so good afterwards so I'm going to make sure I go every week. Hopefully I can strengthen my abdominals that way, since I fear that my muscles are pretty weak after Vince completely wrecked my insides!
Some days I feel more pregnant than others, and some days I look REALLY pregnant. It's not too bad yet, it's obvious I'm pregnant but I still feel it looks like a beer gut ahah.

14 weeks
Oh hey!
Yes I'm still around!
The last two months have been a little hectic, and I've been ridiculously tired. I'm doing quite well though, and I have the hugest secret EVER which is the most AWESOMEST THING on the FACE OF THIS EARTH.
But.
I have to keep it a secret a little while longer.
Honestly it's the hardest thing to do but I can do it!
I've been a little slack with the baby bump photos, but when I took last week's one I couldn't stop laughing. There is like no difference in the photos, except my hair colour!
I'm actually 15 weeks today, but the photos are from last week {wow I have an awesome habit of doing that}.
And then suddenly, last night, this happened.
So now we can all say HELLO BABY! Because it looks like there is a baby in there now and not too much beer {not that I drank beer ever}. Compare that 15 weeks above to the 16 week shot from being pregnant with Vince here! YIKES. And I swear it's not like I ate a lot for dinner or anything. I had a few biscuits and a few pieces of watermelon.
Now that I'm in the second trimester...
Not much has changed at all. I'm still exhausted 70% of the time, still go to bed at like 8pm and I still get awful awful growing cramps. I suspect its something to do with my C-section scar on the inside?
Since last pregnancy was a pretty lonely time for me, I didn't actually get to see a doctor until I was 21 weeks {apart from the initial 'yes you're pregnant' consultation}, I've been terribly stressed and anxious about it happening again. Where we live, none of the doctors are taking on new patients. It's been this way since we moved here 2 years ago. I find it kind of ridiculous, but there's nothing I can do. So basically, we do not have a family doctor. If we're sick, we go to the medical centre down town. It has worked for us so far, but it wasn't going to cut it for my pregnancy.
One of my friends who lives in Townsville told me all about a private midwife clinic she goes to up there. She looked around, and actually found me a link to a place here! So a MASSIVE thank you to my wonderful Charlotte for doing that. I checked out the site and decided that it wouldn't hurt to go for a consultation, since it was free.
I sent My Midwives an email that night, and the next morning while I was shopping they called me to make an appointment! Even over the phone she was very excited that I was ten weeks pregnant with my second child, and it just made me so overwhelmingly HAPPY that someone seemed to care! Seriously, I had gone into my 20 week scan with Vincent with absolutely no baby-bump, hadn't felt any kicks up until that point and hadn't had any other scans until then - I was expecting them to go "Yeh... there's no baby here."
The moment we walked in for appointment I fell in love. The clinic is in a beautiful big old Queenslander house, done up absolutely perfectly! I felt SO out of place in there, it's so pretty and I'm so... skinny jeans and a band tee. Tim and I whispered and giggled about how pretty it was as I filled out my form, I had already made my mind up I wanted to go here.
We had a consultation with a beautiful midwife named Sonya, who had just moved to the area. She was so so wonderful and I was in a pretty silly emotional hormonal state that day and I ended up in tears talking about my post-natal depression last time. She was so kind and understanding, you know when you are faced with people like that and you just cry and cry? We looked over the fees, and while it's not cheap like going through bulk-billing doctors and the hospital here where you don't have to pay for a thing, I knew I wanted this level of care.
They book all my scans, I go there for all my check-ups instead of a GP. They are all registered midwives and they will be there when I have the baby and offer 24 hour on call support leading up to the birth and just after it. There is even the option for them to visit me at home after the baby is born. Seriously this is everything I wanted in this pregnancy, and I was so stoked that it actually existed and that Tim and I could afford it.
We booked in yesterday at the clinic, to make it official, and my first appointment is tomorrow. I've already had a 9 week dating scan where baby {fondly named Alien at this point in time} looked like a jellybean and then the midwife clinic organised a 12 week scan for me {even though we hadn't actually booked through them yet!} a few weeks ago. It was PHENOMENAL seeing how much Alien has grown! His {I refer to it as a he even though we don't know yet} legs are ridiculously long, just like his older brother's! He was marching away and waving his little hands at us. I was blown away. As I mentioned above, the only scan I have ever had before this pregnancy was at 20 weeks withVincent, where he was a pretty well-formed little guy. In 3 weeks my baby had turned from a bouncing jellybean with the strongest heartbeat to an actual little baby! I could even see his finger-bones! He was 12 cm long at that scan and his brain was 2cm wide. How cute is that!
I don't have any photos to show you yet, but hopefully after tomorrow I will have some to put up so you can meet the smallest superhero.
We're slowly working on the nursery. We have all the furniture now which is really good, just need to start sanding and painting! My friend gave me the bassinet she had for her daughter who just graduated into her cot, it comes with a stand and it's so useful! I bought a wicker bassinet ages ago {way before I was even pregnant haha} and it fits the stand perfectly, so now I have two cool bassinets and one cool stand. This afternoon I've been working on making rad fitted sheets for the small mattresses - they're tartan!
Yes I'm still around!
