I've barely blogged in months, and I've been seriously thinking of throwing in the towel. But I know that I don't want to do this, but I just don't have the energy or time to knit, or garden or play around with all the photos I take, or even try and write anything vaguely interesting.
It's time to explain. About 18 months ago, when Oliver was only 7 months old, I went back into full time work. Ideally I wouldn't work 5 days a week, but finances make it necessary. Anyway not long after my return we decided to try for number two! Then after a year (I had already made this plan) it toddled off the the GP to see if I/we could be referred. The referral happened immediately....owing to my age apparently. But I do have a fabulous GP.
My first blood appointments happened in July...just before Oliver's 2nd birthday in fact....I was amazed at how much they took, and was nervous what path I was taking us down.
Apparently here in the UK, only a few conceive in the 1st month; for most it takes 3-6 months; and even fewer take longer than a year....and for others....well I don't like to say. We were certainly in the category of taking more than a "year" with Oliver.....BUT for baby number two...I BECAME A STATISTIC THAT I LOVE....between those first blood tests and getting my first fertility clinic appointment. I found out I was in fact pregnant!! Praise God! I was soooo pleased to have to phone and cancel the appointment.
SO YES! I'M PREGNANT!
Hence I've been so tired.....with "all day" morning sickness this time, and with constant colds too! I'm about 4 months now, and will be presenting my husband with the best 10th Wedding Anniversary present next April....EVER!
So forgive me for being so absent, but if I free myself from blogging for a while, I may have time to visit all the lovely people I've made contact with over the past couple of years. So I want to wish everybody a lovely winter, with those holiday times to come, and see you in the New Year!
I've certainly got some "Work in Progress".
