Finding Out We Were Pregnant

So we found out we were pregnant on the Friday 21st of April 2019, it was Good Friday (which I think was a sign, as I was born on Good Friday in 1988). I had been working 9am to 5pm, and we were due to go to see friends for a take away and movie night later on. I was planning on having a gin or two as we were now off work for a while for Easter. 

Now on the way home from work I popped into Morrisons and grabbed a pregnancy test, I was only two days late, and felt absolutely no different, but for years my cycle has been like clock work, every 21 days (which is extremely short and always drove me crazy).

I got home and did the test, and waited, at the end of the five minutes those two red lines appeared, I was in disbelief so did a second test, and low and behold, the two red lines appeared again.

Those few gins were definitely out of the question now. (That makes me sound like a big drinker, I'm not really I rarely drink, I have one or two now and then, mainly on special occasions, but I do look forward to them).

Oh My God!!!!! I had so many thoughts running through my mind. What to I do? do I call the Dr's? Are there things I can't eat? Am I allowed to do everything I could before?

I ran upstairs to tell my partner, who was more stunned than me, we both didn't really know what to say or do, it was such a shock.

The next few days were a bit of a blur.........

Lets Get Acquainted......

Hiya Guys.

Firstly thanks for stopping by, let me introduce myself.......

My name is Emma, I'm a 32 year old (in April anyway) first time mum from the midlands. I love coffee, chocolate, reading, Netflix, going for walks with my partner and pooch.

I'm pretty much you average Joe, I live in a modest house with my partner, my gorgeous labrador Red, and now the very beautiful little Miss Casey.

    

I thought I'd create this blog so I have a platform to get things off my chest, and also for anyone in a similar situation. During my pregnancy and now as a first time mum, everything is a minefield and sometimes I had no clue where to turn. If this blog helps just one person to know they are not alone then its all worth while.
