I am going to have a baby! On or around 17th December. I have a little bump to show for it. The past couple of months have been fairly horrible - getting over the shock, feeling sick, feeling tired, getting up to wee in the night - it is a relief to finally have told people, and to feel excited with people. And the second trimester is supposed to be a lot more fun!
I'm hoping that the baby is born early-ish as I think the closer it is to Christmas, the less chance it has of anyone ever coming to its birthday parties apart from me.
It's been really strange seeing how life changes. We planned to buy a new car and Matt wanted something a bit sporty. We found out we were pregnant and bought something with room in the boot for a pram. I have to think about prams. I have to drink lots of water and avoid eating shellfish. We have nappies in our spare room. I feel like I had an idea of what I wanted my life to be like, and it seemed to be working out, and now I'm heading into an unimaginable future.
I know, when we get there and the baby comes out, it will be amazing, and everything will be fine and I will (mostly) be very happy (apart from day 4, apparently, when all new mums cry). But for now, I'm still a bit surprised.

ooooh huge congrats!
I am so thrilled for you! What a wonderful, amazing, overwhelming, life-altering adventure!
Thank you! I'm not really loving being pregnant at the moment, as you can probably tell, so I'm looking forward to the baby coming out and being able to get on with it!
That. Is. Such. A. Surprise.
It's good that you don't have to keep it in. The news, that is, not the baby. Me and the rest of the world is very happy and excited, and we're all here for you. x
Good pretending, Mr Fats! I was glad you were so excited at the news!
Once more congratulations :-) One thing you will discover though, and for some strange reason parents keep a secret, is that baby wipes are amazing. Once introduced to them you discover that it is impossible to work out how you survived without them.
Welcome to the world. It's much more fun when you can't plan it all out anyway.
And sporty cars aren't out of the question. For the first few years they may not be practical, but you will find ways around it after a while. After all, I'm looking at getting a coupe as my next car.
Woah! Well you surprised at least one person in blogland :-)
Quite something to get your head around indeed! Hope that health and head enjoy things more as you move into the second trimester.
And for what it's worth I reckon you'll be a fab mum.
Congrats!
Hahahah, babywipes are aMAYzing. Best thing about a baby
