This is the first of a series of secret posts I have written over the last few months. We are actually now 18 weeks pregnant, but I’d like to take you back to when we had just found out :-
This post is so secret I haven’t even typed it. It exists in a notebook, written in pencil.
You see I have something to keep secret for a little while longer, but I don’t want to forget how I feel right now.
On Sunday, 7th April 2013, we found out we are pregnant! I think that makes me 5 weeks along so far – too soon to tell anyone but not too soon to celebrate quietly on our own with a touch of anxiety thrown in…
Sadly, in the last 9 months we had the misfortune to go through two miscarriages. I haven’t blogged about this as although I wanted to, there is so much of a taboo about the subject still, and I guess an element of admitting to others that you’re trying, and failing, to get pregnant was a bit off-putting.
However, here we are and our fingers are firmly crossed that this little miracle decides to stick around.
Hang on in there little bean. Together I am sure we can make it!
Lots of love,
Mummy x
