Please keep reminding me to breathe.
Need to calm down or I'll never get through the day.

Remember last time i thought i might be pregant and tehn came on that afternoon, that was Valentines Day.

God I'm shaking.

Well haven't had a period since.

Did a first response test a while ago and it said I wasn't.

Don't know why I did but I stoipped off and bought another test this morning.

It says I am.

OMG.

My best freind works in the building so I ran and got her and dragged her back into the loo with me and we've starred at the test for 10 minutes and cried and cried.

Oh! Can this be true. Is it real? I'm so happy. Soi scared that my bubble will burst, that something will go wrong. Trying so hard not to cry.

Can't stop my hands shaking.

How will I get through today. have to wait all day to see D and tell him. Wish I knew for sure. Or do I?

OMG.

Breathe, breathe.

Ohhhhh, you've all made me cry. Must be my hormones, he heeeee, how fab!

Just have to tell you about Lottie seeing as I've shared everything else, no point stopping now aye!

After doctors and telling mum I sat down with Lottie and told her I was having a baby and she was going to be a big sister. After I pointed to my tummy and before I coukld say anything she said "baby"!!! How fab is that! Later today I was lying on the floor with her and tried it again, I said "where's the baby Charlotte?" and she leant over and kissed my tummy! OMG!!!!! Weird, mad, lovely!!!!

Mum burst into joyful tears hugged me and came out shopping with me and insisted on buying everything. Very naughty but very lovely as have a fab top, skirt and wrap thing from Monsoon and Lottie has about 4 new tops and 3 new bottoms! So both of us felt very spoilt and very special already!

Doctors was very nice, although he did try and push me to have an amnio (already talking about it, ffs!) Anyway, I set him straight and he's booked me into the Queen Charlotte hospital (Chiswick way) for my prenatal care. I mentioned liking the idea of a home birth but DP really not up for it, very scared at thought after Lottie having to be in intensive and then special care, but we'll see!

I've booked for a private scan at the Clementine Churchill on Monday as I'm just desperate to know that everything is as it should be and hopefully get a clearer due date. Then I can start to really, really get properly excited. 'What this isn't excited TC', well yes obviously but theres that horrible fluttery 'what if' feeling that I need to hopefully put an end to and then I can get my head round that this is truly happening. And hten after the scary satge is over I can start thinking about double buggys!!!!!!

So, that's that. Waiting for D to come home from work, roast dinner cooking in oven and a warm glow all round me, feel like the ready brek kid!

You're all fab, and I know I'm getting boring but thank you all so much again for being so happy and excited for us, it really is so lovely. TC xx
