The Low Down

About ten days ago, I did a pg test, and it was negative. Two days later, I got up with A at 7am and made a cup of coffee. I love coffee, but it tasted awful and really bitter. I wondered then whether I had had a false negative (at this point I was three days late) so I went to get another test I had upstairs - and dropped it down the toilet!!

So when I woke Mike up, after getting him to check the coffee (it was fine for him) I went to Tesco and bought a three pack of clearblues. Came home, did the first one, and within 10 seconds it came up with "Pregnant"!

Obviously we are overjoyed, and in particular, me, as I had really thought that it wasn't meant to be. We haven't told A yet, mainly because I think he would say something at school and I don't really want any of the parents knowing yet. Apart from that we are telling friends and family because I am very much of the opinion that if God forbid, something were to happen, I would need thier support.

So, I'm due on the 23rd May - I think that we get too hung up on dates and things, so I'm just thinking May, rather than a specific date. I saw my GP today, which to be honest was anti climactic to say the least, and it would seem that where I live, nothing happens until 18 weeks, when I get scanned, blood tests, midwife appointment etc, which seems like ages away.

No terrible symptoms, tired, stretchy feeling in my abdomen, starving hungry, and had a couple of waves of feeling sick - but with A, the real nausea and vomiting kicked in at about 6/7 weeks, so we shall see. Oh and boobs like torpedoes. Some would say no change there.

Still doing the happy dance for you babe. Such good news. And a May baby - perfect - just what I was aiming for but got a bit ahead of myself. It means you'll be blooming over Christmas and not have to have a sweaty summer. And baby will be born with the spring flowers and you can go out and walk in the park with your 2. We're going to have childREN Zo - can you believe it?

So long, farewell! said...

Brilliant news darlin - Dr's are the kings and queens of anti climax aren't they (apart from our Mad Doctor Bill who insisted on a group hug after doing a few animal impressions...)

I have to contact some medical research place as I think that blogger is the best fertility aid around :o)

Congrats again.

Thanks for your comment on Nothing Like the Sun blog.

I like your dry humor, and esp. enjoyed your open letter to the noisy 3AM man.

Oh, no damage to the microwave, by the way.

Congratulations on your blue stick.
