Today we celebrated Tarny Pop's 30th birthday with a wonderful summer garden party that quickly descend, via several slices of quiche and then chocolate cake, into some bumpy silliness. Here you will see five wonderful bumps. The boys (TP, left, and JM) are very nearly ready to pop and we wish them well for their respective deliveries.
Us three, well we are a trio of pregnancy. It is a hugely exciting sensation to know that you are in this with two of your best friends. Here we are, in descending bump order 27 weeks (TH) 19 weeks (AP) and 14 weeks (LH). We are on different journeys that are all heading towards the same exciting end. In the future, I know our babies will be friends. They will have to be. In a strange way, sharing this with friends helps to make the reality, more, er real.
You spend a while thinking about getting pregnant and knowing that'll mean a baby in the end. And then you get that positive pregnancy test, and it's still so abstract. You don't look different (except for, in my case, a pair of enormous....). Anyway, you spend the first 12 weeks trying to keep this thing alive and then you get to see it on a scan and you think, wow, that's a baby. Still though, it isn't exactly real. But then talking to friends, imagining how we will be mothers, alone and together, that makes its seem like a genuine possibility!
Clearly, judging by the photos, this is going to happen and it's going to be fabulous and fun and scary.
And we're friends doing it together. And that makes me feel better - I hope they feel the same way...
The boys.... mmm, I think they're beyond help.
