Congratulations!


I hope you're taking the news better than I did. Xmas day 2007 away in the Lake District for a couple of days expecting to drink and walk lots.

I think I'm pregnant!

Nah!

I really think I'm pregnant!

*Silence*

Are you okay?

We'll get a test.

Okay.

Next day

It's negative, but I still say I'm pregnant.

Nah!

Another one negative, but I still say I'm pregnant.

Can't be, two tests say no.

Third says no too, but I am, I'm certain.

Look, three tests say negative, take the 'king hint!

Next day, several more (not cheap!) tests later

Told you I was pregnant.

No your not!

Am.

Are not.

Just before first scan at around three months!

Okay, so you are pregnant. I hope it's a girl. And not ginger.

Just before second scan.

Do you really only want a girl? Will you be really disappointed if it's a boy?

Yep!


After that I really came round to the idea, now I even work part-time to spend more time with her (for it was a girl ), she really does mean the world to me and I've never been happier than holding her. A girl after my own heart - by 2½ she already wanted to skydive (she'll be booked on a AFF course as soon as she's old enough - non of this tandem malarky), and three months later she's admitted to wanting a motorbike when she's bigger.

Again, congratulations.

PS - It may be a bit early yet but my advice is don't use a dummy, don't stick TV on when he/she's around, and baby-led weaning is great, as is baby yoga!
