From the beginning!

Seeing as I started this blog towards the end of my pregnancy I think I will write from the beginning!

Well, It all started in March 2010, Kieran and I had packed up our lives and driven across Australia to go on a working holiday, Living in Bendigo in a Camper trailer was not as bad as it sounds but the work was! Kieran was suppose to be shearing and me rousing but the work promised to me wasn't there and the shearing was so bad it was costing Kieran more than he was making! so we decided to look for a new job and got one on a farm in Kimba, South Australia where we had a house to ourselves, all was good for about 3 weeks, when we realised I was late... being on the pill, I knew exactly when I was due so we took a test which came up negative, strange but we waitied a while and tested again... Postitive. now the hard part- Telling our parents! well we thought the hard part anyway, everyone was so supportive of whichever decision we made, after a long talk, we decided we wanted to be a family and so the journey began! Not long later we had planned to go to the hospital to check and have a dating scan, it was too early et for the scan but we worked it out to be about 5 weeks along, and along came the morning sickness! well not so much spewing but i couldnt even look at food without it making my stomach turn, it was so hot where we were working and was very physical, and we both became very home sick so made the decision to leave back to home. at 12 weeks we decided to tell people about the pregnancy as we had the tests and everything looked fine, we wanted to just keep it close friends knowing first then eventually let it get out but our timing was bad and we told a friend the night before our mates 21st so a few drinks into her and EVERYONE knew! I was really worried about being judged for being so young but everyone was so supportive and really caring which was great. 20 week scan came along and we decided to find out what we were having, Nate for a boy and Macey for a girl- and it showed a little girl! so so excited we painted the room bought everthing we could for her. we later decided on Olivia for her rather than Macey which we both loved. on the 30th of August Kieran Proposed to me which was wonderful, we both want to wait a while before any wedding thoughts come but wanted to have our own way of being a true family, everyone was very excited for us and we are excited for ourselves!

And that about gets us to where the blog begins, not a great deal happened between! well nothing i can really remeber :)
