Well, my goodness.
There are some things that are truly blog-worthy, and I have to say that this is by far THE MOST blog- worthy thing I have had to share with you all in some time.
James and I are going to be parents!!!
Wow.
Wow.
First of all, my sincere apologies if I haven't actually had a chance to share this news with you first hand- finding out things like this in the form of a blog entry are, at best, slightly impersonal- but we really wanted you all to know and I just can't refrain from writing about it any longer!!
We found out officially on Tuesday though I had suspected it for some time... and the two positive pregnancy tests I had done at home prior to Tuesday pretty much guaranteed that it was a certainty. Haha, you know, I just remembered that I still have all three positive tests (the last from my doctor) sitting around somewhere. I was thinking about keeping them. Is that very strange? James broke the news to a good friend of ours by saying to him, "Do you want to see something my wife peed on?" How very James-like. James is so, so excited which I'm thrilled about. Not that I didn't think he would be somewhat pleased, just that it's pretty well-known he's been pretty worried about taking the plunge into parenthood (which I have completely understood) so I did wonder what his reaction would be when it was confirmed. I called him after the appointment (he was on his way home from work) and his reply was, "You're pregnant? Awesome!"
I'm only just over 5 weeks so it's very early days. James and I were wondering whether we would share the news with people at this stage and we decided we would. We love our friends and family and knew they would want to share the journey with us. Besides, James is completely incapable of keeping a secret, so I guess it was a given we'd tell people :-) Do I feel pregnant? This is a very strange this to say since I have no prior experience of being pregnant, but I think I almost knew straight away. At the time I thought I was being silly, but in retrospect, I really had a feeling about it all along. And, yes, I do feel very different. And very excited!!! I just can't believe it's real.
Tomorrow is my birthday so as you may have realised my champagne breakfast is no longer happening- maybe James and I will indulge in a orange juice breakfast somewhere down at Glenelg and have our own mini double celebration.
That's all for now. We'll hopefully chat to you all soon, but in the meantime, keep us in your thoughts and prayers at this early stage.
