Friday the 13^th! Is this going to be a bad day or good. Usually it is good for me, but who knows. The thing is… I am still not bleeding… so hopefully all is good.

I went to change the Bra, and got measured up. Apparently I am a 42F. Wow. They did not have my size so I will have to go another day.

Our babies are 4 weeks old! How time flies. Still no bleeding or cramps. Fingers still crossed. Tried on my bra and it just about fits. It won’t last long. I measured myself. I think I am a 42E! I must go and change my bra. Must get a good bra as I don’t want to damage my ducts for my babies.

Today we booked tickets for The Baby Show in Birmingham.

No Bleeding so far. Today we sent out an email to everyone we can think of and told the world. Most people would think we are too presumptuous to say we are pregnant before the 12 weeks. After all we have been through it is far too hard to stay quiet. We just want to scream to let the world know.

Camille sent me a link to a page showing what Faith & Hope should look like by now. Link here

Today is my last progesterone. This is making me anxious. I do hope that I don’t start bleeding today. Oddly enough, today is 14 years to the day I left Senior School! I bought my first maternity bra – 38E!

Time to let the cat out of the bag! I've just made this blog public for the world to see. Pregnancy tests are showing positive, but we still don't know if it's one or two. There's still a number of hurdles to surpass as the first trimester is pretty risky, so spare a thought and keep your fingers crossed for us !! P.S. In case you haven't picked up from below, we've named the embryos Faith and Hope

Today I spent the day Shopping. Then met Owen for lunch (as he is currently working at a client here in IOM) and we nibbled fruit salad in a rock garden. I showed Owen the 2 bibs I bought for Faith and Hope. One read “Daddy loves me“ and the other read “Mummy loves me“. I thought they were so apt. We do love Faith and Hope with our every fibre. After Lunch I bought a book, “From Conception to Birth“ with loads of pictures and information on the growing embryo. It makes us feel so much closer to Faith and Hope. When Owen finished work, we went for a drive to Port Erin and a nice walk on the Beach. It was magical.

This is my first mother’s day. I still cannot believe it. It is overwhelming. Owen was ever so sweet. On behalf of Faith & Hope, Owen helped them choose some presents. I got a frame with their photo and a poem, a dictionary on baby names and a box of Godiva chocolates. They were all wrapped up in beautiful wrapping purple paper with purple ribbon. They were simply perfect. I even thought they were professionally done. It brought tears to my eyes.

We then went on our first holiday as a family. We drove to Liverpool and then caught the ferry to the Isle of Mann. I must say the 3 of us were very unhappy during the boat ride, and even Owen was just about coping. Horrible seas. Anyway, we made it without actually spilling out anything! We then checked into “The Empress Hotel” in room 309.  Fabulous. Then Owen took us all for a meal at “The Brasserie” which was wonderful. Altogether the best Mother’s Day ever! Not sure how they will top the next one!

Today was my first full day at work. At 4pm I was ready to crash. Owen took over which was great because I was so exhausted. But still, glad to know I can still do it.

I cannot help but walk around on Cloud 5. Today is the first day that I woke up knowing that “Yes, I am really pregnant!”. It is not that I did not feel pregnant but more that I was afraid that my imagination was being over active!
