15.07.2014 - Yum Yum Yum, baking in my mummy's tum!
Today is the day your daddy and me found out we were expecting you!
To say we were surprised is an understatement but from the moment we got those positive pregnancy tests - yes we took two, we just couldn’t believe it! - I just knew you were going to be the most beautiful, amazing little person and you were going to be the most loved little bean in the whole wide world.
I’d been feeling a little icky for a week or so, me and daddy had gone to Ibiza for a week (and little did we know..you came along too!) and I couldn’t stand the idea of food other than Pringles and Dorito’s! We thought nothing of it as i’d taken a pregnancy test at the doctors on the 11th June, then the 20th June and they both came back negative! I just had a little inkling something was happening but I couldn’t put my finger on it.
I don’t honestly know what made me retest that day, but I guess I just knew you were waiting to be found out and all of a sudden BOO! You were there & you were growing fast!
Me and Daddy couldn’t figure out how far along in the pregnancy we were however we guessed at around 8 weeks. We phoned your Nanan and Grandad Atkinson up and your Nanan and Grandad Keeton along with Uncle Alex and Uncle Zach who are so excited to meet you!! The day after we told your Nanan Margaret and your Auntie Kate who can’t wait for you to make your grand appearance. Auntie Kate wanted to go baby shopping ASAP!
After the initial surprise, we settled quite quickly in to the idea that we were going to have you and we have never felt so blessed or lucky in our whole lives.
So, little Dotty, mummy and daddy just want you to know, we love you very much, always have, always will xxxxxx
