The good thing about this not being a normal pregnancy is that you get early scans and today we got to see our little blob! God, the times I’ve thought about this moment. It (feels wrong calling it an it but he/she feels like a mouthful) was moving a lot and had a very strong heartbeat – just incredible. I am really struggling to find the words to be honest. To think that the expertise of our consultant here and in Spain and the amazing woman who donated her eggs have made this all possible leaves me speechless. But it definitely feels more real now for sure. I had a slight bleed again a week ago, which stopped quickly but this scan has definitely given me the reassurance I needed that everything is ok. Apart from feeling fat (although I’m not sure that can be blamed on the baby or Christmas), I can’t say I’ve really felt pregnant up until now. I do like having our little secret though. I got together with a group of friends who don’t get chance to catch up much anymore last week, which was great, and was the first time I had to use the ’Dry January’ excuse. Thank goodness it is January as I don’t think any of that group would believe I’m not drinking, given my previous form, if I didn’t have that excuse. I think one of the girls might have still been suspicious but hopefully it won’t be long before I can tell her. Today has been such a huge day, seeing our baby for the first time. And we can’t take the smiles off our faces.
