Today we went for our first scan at Homerton. I was very anxious. With reason I can now see. Sadly we only found one of our babies. The good news is that all seems well. We even saw her heart beating. Obviously we don’t know if it’s a girl or a boy… but we decided it was a girl! We have decided sadly that it is Faith that we lost and that Hope is all we have left :-(

This has been very hard on us. We want to be happy yet we are sad at the same time. We are happy for having Hope but sad for losing Faith.

Owen needed an emergency appointment with Dr Jadali to get some Ventolin. While he was there, we booked our first baby / antenatal appointment for Friday 3rd June at 8.50am.

I seem to suffer more sickness and tiredness but otherwise I seem to be doing well. I cannot seem to find time to write daily but I will write whenever I can or whenever I have something new to write.

Had some sickness today too. Mostly this evening. I even got so bad had to throw out a mouthful. Sorry for being disgusting. It is reassuring that I am suffering sickness. My boobs felt sorer than they have for the last few days too.


Will try the Doppler again tonight but I won’t hold my breath.

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.
