No news is good news :)

5 weeks 4 days and still pregnant :). The cramping continues on and off most days and I've had a few nights now where it's been bad enough to wake me up.  When this happens it usually coincides with a rush to the toilet.  This is not typical for me at all but I guess this is what pregnancy is going to be like for me.  Scout is worried about all the cramping but for the most part I'm still trying tell myself this is just all part of the process.  I feel a lot like I've got my period but AF continues to stay away, much to my amazement.  This week has been busy and I've been tired.  Last weekend we had lots of family things on and Tuesday we had Jasmine's birthday.  She turned 6 and has been a real little miss in the lead up to it.  Her bad behaviour peaked on her birthday with her teacher telling us she had been talking over the top of other kids, was caught kicking someone (!) while lining up and apparently told her PE teacher that "she could do whatever she wanted because it was her birthday" ... Hmmm.  Seriously ... We don't talk like that in our house and that kind of behaviour is completely unexceptable. We made her apologise to her teacher the next day and write a letter of apology to her PE teacher.  Since then she's been a bit better.  Today we had her party and this is the first time we've done one at home with other school friends.  Scout says it's also the last time lol.  The kids were fine (we kept it small and it was only for two hours) but two of the kids dad's also decided to hang around for the whole thing and one was a bit of a jerk.  Anyway ... We survived :).  Here's the birthday cake I did for Jazz ...

                        

Tomorrow we have to do it all over again with family which should be fine.  I'm just worried I'll be tired and people will hang around which usually happens.  We aren't planning on telling anyone we're pregnant for a little while yet so I can't exactly excuse myself to go lie down.  I'm just going to have to do my best to stay off my feet when I can and thankfully I have a wonderful wife who will make sure I do.  Scout has been amazing this week getting the house and yard all cleaned up and even cooked a few extra meals for the girls so I didn't have to cook when I got home from work.  She's the best!  Anyway, I'll be glad when this weekend is over and we can both just relax a bit.   Our scan is next Thursday, so not much longer till we find out if everything is on track in there.  I'm trying not to think too much about it or get too attached to the idea of being pregnant just yet.  The cramping is probably making me feel alittle cautious but for the most part I'm pretty positive and obviously hoping for the best on Thursday.
