Went back to work today. Really tired out fast. Had a bad dizzy spell and felt rather sick too. Beginning to feel like Morning Sickness!

Tried the Doppler again, but still not heartbeat. :-(

Took Cuddles to the Vet. Her eye had to be taken out :-( At least her infection was manageable. We had her neutered too, to prevent further unwanted male attention. I feel so sorry for her.

As we got into the car, we smelt an awful smell. I thought I would confirm it was not our food that we prepared for today, so I stuck my head in the plastic bag. Let’s just say, it was a good thing I had no breakfast because I lost anything in my stomach. Did not feel too great after that. It was a piece of Camembert that went off.

Anyway, the highlight of the day was The Baby Show. It was not very big and there was very little to learn. It was very sell sell sell but offering nothing new. Mothercare did have a stand where you can try out pushchairs on different floors such as gravel, steps, grass etc. I don’t quite like 3 wheelers. They feel less safe and sturdy. Apparently prams are hard to find, as they do not sell them much because car seats are what are used instead! Explain that one to me!

The best bit about it, was we bought an ultrasound Doppler. In a couple of weeks we will be able to hear the Baby's heartbeat. I cannot wait. Obviously, we still tried it but we did not yet manage to find the heartbeat. Still. Soon.

I did feel so knackered at the end of the day. I also felt rather nauseous. Morning Sickness? I hope so.   

Sadly, when we came back, we found out that Cuddles was in an accident and had her eye gouged out. We will go to the Vet in the morning. I do not think they can do much more between today and tomorrow.

I went again to Mothercare for my bra. I thought perhaps they have a twin pack in the right size. They didn’t so I tried on a smaller size… well to cut a long story short I am wearing a 40E. The size feels better. Though as far as maternity bras go, they do not feel anywhere near as supportive. They are also not very pretty. But it is just for a few months! I now have a black and white bra so it will be wash and wear!

Today we went to the Sound. I fell asleep and got sunburnt on my face though on just one side. Travelling back to England, I did not get seasick even though it was a four hour boat ride. We are staying at the Holiday Inn in Warrington. (Room 231)

Friday the 13th! 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.
