We have been rather excited around here for a few weeks- we have had the most wonderful surprise- 2 stripes on a pregnancy test!! Yep – another little person making their presence known.
Welcome! From www.subversivecrossstitch.com
We are really quite blown away. It took us a heartbreaking 3 years to make Ramona, so were fully expecting another long wait. And, of course I am still nursing her day and night. So impossible did we think it that a whole 2 months crept by before we even knew. I had a tiny inkling but kept writing it off, until one day I just knew with absolute certainty so popped straight to the pharmacy for a test and my folic acid.
I am feeling pretty brilliant – I remember being exhausted with Ramona but have come to the conclusion that chasing a toddler around all day (and snuggling her all night) makes you so knackered anyway there isn’t another level of tiredness to reach!
So next spring Ramona will have a little sibling and us another darling to squeeze into our fortunately GARGANTUAN bed. This little delight, catching us unawares. I love her already with her stealthy but audacious existence!
WAAHHHH!!! I am totes EMOSH for you!! So exciting. What a lucky little peanut to have you three! Lots of love & ginger biscuits x
THANKS!! *scoffs biscuits* x x

Thank you *biggest smile ever on face*
That is fantastic news. We have a massive bed, it was our best investment ever. I love nothing more than waking to find all four of us snuggled in. Ekkkkk!
I reckon big beds are the one thing every new family needs eh! Love, love, LOVE morning snuggles!
Oh that is such lovely news, congratulations!
Thank you *smile taking over whole face*
I am so pleased you have announced this to the world (after you whispered it to me on Friday) – cos now I have a whole new excuse to make little baby lovelies ………… a patchwork quilt is under way ………… and the rest is a surprise for later.
