It has been such an amazing journey so far and sometimes I still need to pinch myself and say "You are pregnant". It makes it all real when we go to the gyne and we see and hear the little heart beat - it’s so amazing. I will never forget that day when I phoned Andrew at work to tell him IT IS POSITIVE, as I had done a pregnancy test at home then went on to do a blood test at Olivedale Clinic only for the nurse to say to me "What do you want it to be?" And of course I said I want it to be positive and she slipped me the piece of paper which said POSITIVE! I jumped up and down! And phoned Andrew immediately to tell him the wonderful news - you are going to be a daddy.

| Positive!!!!!! |
I am currently 15 weeks pregnant and loving every minute of it.
My tummy is expanding and none of my pants actually button up - time for maternity pants, I already have a pair of jeans which my mom bought while she was here.

| 13 weeks pregnant |
We have been so blessed by family and friends already; this little one is going to be so spoilt.
We have gotten the compactum from my parents and a few other goodies all the way from England. Andrew parents have bought us the pram, rocker and carry cot amongst other small gifts as well. Andrew just loves the pram as you can imagine its red and has big wheels, what guy wouldn’t like it.

| Pram, seat (and bouncer hiding in the corner) |

| Compactum (so full we had to close it) |
The compactum is nearly full and getting fuller by the day, as we try to buy nappies when we see them on special. We are also part of Discovery vitality which gives us huge savings as well.
We are hoping to find out at our next scan if it’s a girl or a boy - really holding thumbs as Andrew doesn’t want to carry on calling it 'it'! And we can’t wait to get started on the nursery - we have decided to go neutral, the room already has brown curtains, so we will paint the walls a neutral colour as well keeping in line with the beiges, creams and browns then add an accent colour once we know what we are having.
That’s all the news for this week. Hope you are enjoying the updates.
31st is our next appointment so hopefully we will know what it is and have pictures.
God bless
Renee, Andrew and baby Buttons

Tiny hands and feet are so special. First little smile and words you will never forget! They grow up so quickly it's scary! Spend lots of time as a family! It's the most precious time in the world.
I hope little Andrew will be healthy and happy ! He is really lucky to have you two as mommy and daddy !!
Other name options can be "don't" "leave" ..more traditional "I have spoken" Middle names like "immediately" "now" are also polular.
Speak to you soon !!
Enjoy every moment !!
