I was working my backside off marking geometry papers (and to tell you the truth not enjoying it all that much) when your mom comes through and says to me "Do you want some good news?" We laughed and kissed and laughed some more! She was glowing and so beautiful. We've been waiting for this very moment, and when we heard you were on your way, it was such a shock! Ahhh .. but a great shock it was.

Your mom got up and took another pregnancy test - just to be sure! And there it was, another line showing you were on your way! Oh boy! Oh boy! Oh Boy!!! - it's okay if you a girl! I don't mind! I had to go through the whole day bouncing on the inside and not telling anyone. Standing in line at the bank, all I wanted to do was shout it out to the others. Afraid they might take me away in a straight-jacket, so I won't risk it just yet!
It's official - mom's definitely carrying you and we're going to have a baby! The blood work came back and says mom's positive - which is a good thing! Right now, you're only a little tadpole, but I kow you'll grow big and strong and change our lives forever.
The funny thing is ... I don't really know what to feel! It comes in these waves of sheer excitement and then overwhelming fear. I guess that's good, because this is the best trip I've ever been on!
What I've learnt so far: You're already 4 weeks old (today) - so HAPPY BIRTHDAY! See you in 8 months time!
