23 April 2010

Emily was in nursery, which left me free to steady my nerves and take a pregnancy test. My cycle has been very erratic for six months or more, but the last few have been around 20 days, so now at 32 days I felt that I was justified in checking. However, I confess I had not 'felt pregnant', and when exercising had, if anything, felt fitter than ever these last couple of weeks, so should not have allowed myself to get my hopes up. I had also calculated that a potential due date would fall almost exactly on Christmas Day, which made me think it would be Sod's law if I was expecting. But, the three minutes ticked away and when I braced myself to look there was no line in the result window.
