i'm 5 weeks and 6 days pregnant. despite a lack of appetite, some abdominal pain during the night and complete paranoia about having a miscarriage, i'm feeling great.
we called home to england and told our families last weekend. i expected them to be surprised but it was more like complete shock. ian's sister was so gob-smacked that the first thing she said was, "was it planned?". this was obviously quickly followed by congratulations. my own sister seemed to be confused about whether she wanted to laugh or cry and, after saying how happy she was for us, suggested that she should call back when she had "processed the information". i guess the phone isn't the best way to do these things but being so far away from all our family, it was the only way. and i do understand why people were so freaked out. we've been together for 17 years and we've been saying a polite "no thanks" to having kids for at least 15 of those years.
