16 weeks, 24 more to go! :)
I was a day late and it was Christmas eve.. it was perfect.. the lights in the house, the decorations, the food, craving for salmon.. I realised, could it be? :) I am never late.. then I thought maybe it's nothing.. let's toast to Christmas and family.. we had our champange, ate our salmon salad as starters :) and then the wine.. why did the wine taste so weird.. I love red wine.. then I thought, perhaps it's the French wine, different than the usual we drink..
I couldn't help but think, what if? :) we were not aiming.. we thought it's okay to have it.. but now? :) I didn't finish the wine.. whispered at Alex's ear, I might be.. he was calm.. he said, enjoy the christmas party, because what if not? right? and then the usual coffee drinking with brandy.. I thought I'll definitely skip that one.. making up a reason that coffee would keep me awake. in fact that coffee with that amount of brandy wouldn't keep anyone awake :)
next day, more cravings for salmon.. again strange taste of wine, a different type this time.. no, there's definitely something different this time.. Alex and I didn't talk about it for a couple of days, but we had this meaningful exchange of smiles every now and then or squeezing hands under the blanket.. we both knew what it referred to..
a week later, after eating more smoked salmon.. I bought the test.. I bought the cheapest one.. the least attractive.. because what if not.. I didn't want to get my hopes high.. Alex arrived home. I said, shall we? he said ok.. it said wait five minutes for an accurate result. it was clear within 20 seconds.. two strips.. could it be any faster? :)) we hugged, we were nervous, in a nice sort of way :) Dropje was staring at us the whole time, I called her, patted her and said, in 9 months you're going to have a friend who is almost the same size as you and the same weight as you, but hopefully less hairy :) she knew something was different between me and Alex, we grabbed her and altogether celebrated the news of the little one.
