Were expecting a baby!

I’m very happy to say we are expecting a baby this year. This is something we were discussing and planning for at the end of last year, so we were both very excited to have this confirmed in January. Actually we performed the pregnancy test on the 31 January while travelling in Asia. We were in Vietnam and had quite an amusing day getting help from a local girl, who explained in Vietnamese to the young girl in the chemist what we wanted. The test showed positive, as Caroline had suspected and what great news. We did one more test to be sure, and with a second positive result we were sure. The immediate down side was that Caroline began almost immediately feeling off her food and this quickly developed into morning sickness.

Caroline is now 17 weeks into the pregnancy and doing very well. The sickness period seems to be over and she’s feeling fine, although quite tired most days. We went for the 17 week ultra-scan on Monday this week and everything was looking fine. It was a great experience to see our little baby on the screen, see its heart beating and everything all in place. We have an updated expected delivery date, which is now the 24th of September. We shall have to wait and see if it decides to arrive on time!
