Hello! First of all, so sorry I have been M.I.A (missing in action) over the last few months. A lot has happened. But I'm back. 

So in October, I got really sick with the pregnancy as well as grief from losing Dad. It was a very hard time, for Yo as well.

I came back to Australia early November without Yo (we are still together) for the rest of the pregnancy. Luckily, he will be late next month in time for the baby to come :)

Things are a lot better than they were a few months ago, health wise. I am eating a lot more than I was (I couldn't eat for over a month). I lost 15kg in that time which took me to 70 kilos. Since then I have got back up to 78kg. Obviously a lot of that is baby weight.

So, about the baby. It's a girl! We found out at my 20 week scan :) We didn't mind what sex we got, but still feel so blessed to have a little baby girl. Her name is Ruby Elizabeth Chadu. I think i wrote in my 'Father/Daughter tag' that when Dad was alive, his nickname for me was Ruby. So when I found out that we are expecting a girl, I knew Ruby was the perfect name for her and the perfect way to honor her grandfather's memory. And I chose Elizabeth just because I've always liked the name.

At the moment, she's weighing in around 4 or 5 pound, which is slightly underweight due to how sick I was, but still normal. Everything is growing normally :) 

6 more weeks to go and we are so excited for the journey we will be taking as a new, young family. We are both excited for what the future holds for our little family <3

Not The Perfect Life...

A lot of times when I upload photos to my facebook, a lot of people comment on how happy I look all the time. This is not meant as a depressing post but please do not assume my life is picture perfect and that I am happy all the time.  I miss my home country. I miss my family. I cry. I argue with my husband (what marriage doesn't have arguments?). I miss my Dad. Of course I do have happy times but this is not all the time. Not a depressing post. Just want to make sure people understand.

Introducing Miss Ruby Chadu.....

I am so sorry I have been so missing in action! But I had a baby! YAY!  Ruby Elizabeth Chadu was born at 3.17am by emergency Caesarean on Saturday the 26th of March 2016 (2 days early), weighing 7lb 3oz and measuring 50cm. So, I was induced on the Friday due to mild pre-eclampsia. Even though it was only mild, the doctors wanted to get my baby out as soon as possible before it got too dangerous. So I went into hospital at 8.00pm on Friday and got the first let of gel put in at 9.00pm. They told me that the second lot of gel would be done at 3.00am then they would break my waters at 8.00am. Well, I didn't even get to the second lot of gel. My waters broke themselves at 1.30am, despite the nurses saying nothing would happen for quite a while.  Despite my waters breaking, I was only 2cm dilated even though the contractions were so strong and close together by this point.  At about 2.00am, I passed out and had had a sudo seizure (possibly due to the pre-eclampsia).
