May 22nd - Purchased 2 more books with Kevin today before going to our first doctors appointment. The appointment it self was pretty worthless just filled out paper work and made an appointment for next week with the midwife. It's very possible we are the first American couple over here temporarily that has been pregnant. Going to be interesting - but we're both confident I will be just fine getting cared for over here for the first few months. We’re guessing we are between 5 and 6 weeks along putting us at 6months when we leave in November and due early January! Already one of the hardest things to do is keep our news to ourselves. I swear Andrea is on to me....but how?
May 23rd - We’re headed out to buy a digital SLR camera today!! When we were in London we told Andrea & Tim that we were going to put off buying a nice camera until we were pregnant To which they quickly replied - so when you tell us you’re buying a camera we’ll know you’re pregnant.....how are we going to pull this purchase/secret off??! So whether they remember this conversation or not - we’re not going to tell them yet. Although, will they get suspicious when we start posting pictures?! Interesting….I will have to figure some sort of little white lie. Perhaps say it was a surprise gift from Kevin. Yeh, that should work.
May 27th - 2nd doctors appt. again pretty pointless. I wasn’t even given a pregnancy test - we know we were pregnant but theres something different about it when a doctor tells you. We were handed a packet of information to review and fill out. Next appointment will be a house visit with the midwife in a ‘fortnight’ to go over the packet of information and to schedule the first scan. I was weighed & measured. They do weight over here in stones (1 stone = 14lbs) lets just say I weigh equivalent of a small pile of rubble. In & out. In the car we discussed how we were a little disappointed that she didn't give us a blood test or some sort of pregnancy test, so Kevin & I decided to buy yet another home pregnancy test. We spent the BIG bucks and bought a digital one from Tesco …just to make sure. YUP! We’re 6 weeks preggers!!! Tomorrow Dave & Anna come, no way we can go without telling them - they will be the first people to know….
