5 weeks 2 days

Nausea has really started to kick in today. I haven't actually been sick, but it has been lingering all day and I am quite tired aswell. I hope this is not the start of how I was when I was pregnant with Billy! He was such a little trooper today. He played happily with all of his new toys from his birthday yesterday, stopping occasionally to give me a quick cuddle or cheeky smile.

I also started researching a few things that I will need to get to cope with a newborn and a toddler. (A nanny?!) Our Bugaboo won't suffice when the baby is born, so I have been looking at the new Phil & Teds Verve, that can fit a newborn/toddler and a toddler/little person. Pretty cool contraption!

At this stage, we are thinking I will have the baby here in Japan. Nug won't be able to get the time off work to go back to Australia, and I don't want our little family to be apart for months. We will, however, discuss it in more detail as the pregnancy progresses. So, for a bit of fun, I had a look at bedding options, as we won't really have the space for the baby to have its own room. To protect against SIDS, they recommend sleeping in the same room as parents for the first 6-12 months, so I'm happy with that anyway! This is made by the divine 'Sleepi Spaces'.

If we have a boy, there's honestly not much else we need to get! If we have a girl, look out. It's still so early but I'm already playing the name game in my head. I wonder if we will just talk about the names we talked about last time, or whether some new ones will be thrown in the ring?
