Oh goodness me!

Well in true Spillane fashion (never a family for doing things the easy way!), I have to say I have ridden this rollercoaster, held on tight and am sooooooo ecstatically, amazingly and wondrously happy to inform you all that today I am 5 weeks and 2 days PREGNANT!!!! We can’t believe it and keep looking at each other with stupid grins on our faces. We still have a long way to go yet though before we get to that magic 12 week point; namely an 8 week scan to check that there is actually a baby in the embryonic sac and that there is a heartbeat, plus blood tests every five days to check my hormone levels are continuing to rise (this means I am still pregnant and everything is going along as expected). So I am pregnant pregnant pregnant!! Goodness after all these years trying and all the heart break associated with this crazy journey it is the most amazing thing in the world to be able to say that I am, "up the duff" as the pregnancy book so comically puts it! I keep buying and wee’ing on the pee sticks and watching the pink lines come up to tell me I’m pregnant (picture of wondrous pink line to follow) Mental note: must stop buying expensive pregnancy urine sticks or will become bankrupt and not be able to afford said baby!! I have waited sooooo long to see those lines though and I just can’t help myself. I keep showing everyone who comes in my urine stick, mmmm maybe that is why I am now all alone with no visitors? He he!! So it seems for today little “em” has dug deep and has decided he/she would like L and I to be his/her mom and dad. Goodness I have never felt so blessed. Please let everything continue as it should – I didn’t know it was possible to feel like this – like I’m floating!! Albeit floating cautiously aware of how far we still have to go. BUT for now L and I are very very clever baby making people! Next blood test Thursday please please please little ‘em’ stick around we love you soooooo much . . . .
