When I named this blog Noodles and Nuggets almost 2 years ago (yes, I don’t write very often), I had no idea the foresight I had…
So a very quick catch up – I am expecting our first baby in just 2 more days. I am going in for a c-section on Tuesday morning. I had wanted to blog during the pregnancy, but I got so busy and when I wasn’t busy I was tired.
Somehow the baby has the nickname Nugget. I know I used to call the daddy Nugget, but in truth we have always called each other Noodle. So somehow after our 1st / 2nd scan we called it Nugget and it has just stuck. We are going the surprise route and do not know whether it is a boy or a girl. I am really happy we have not found out as it makes it even more exciting and it is another thing which will get me through the c-section. Instead of thinking about them cutting my open I will be thinking – in just a few minutes I will know if our Nugget is a boy or a girl.
So 2 more sleeps and then our lives change forever. We have tried to relax and chill and sleep as much as possible, but non of that can be stored in a bottle. We are excited for the journey that we have lying ahead!!!! We can’t wait to meet our precious Nugget.
What we know about Nugget so far (well how the pregnancy has been).
TG the pregnancy has gone well and I have enjoyed it so much. I honestly look so much pregnant than not and got so many nice comments regularly about how good i looked. I have been carrying well with nugget sitting right in my tummy and everything in front. Nugget is lying in perfect position for a natural birth, but due to a hairline fracture in my back and a scare in the 4th/5th month we need to go the caeser route.
From the beginning I have been chilled about birth and feeding. I said from the start if the doc says caeser is in the best interest of the baby then Caesar it is, I had no preconceived ideas of what would be best for me or baby. It was up to the doctor to make the most accurate call. I feel the same about breastfeeding. If my milk comes in and baby gains weight and is getting enough food I will certainly persevere if not and baby does not gain weight then we will look into formula.
Nugget, your dad and I cannot wait for your arrival, to meet you and cuddle you, shower you with love and happiness.
2 more sleeps….
