Seychelles mama is expanding!
Remember that holiday we went on to Sri Lanka?
Yes that’s it, the one I haven’t stopped banging on about.
The one that was our first holiday as a family of three?
Well, I am pretty excited to finally be able to share with you that, it turns out that holiday wasn’t exactly one as a family of three…..
While we were away we found out that soon we will be 4!
Thats right, Seychelles mama is expanding…..literally!
I’m pregnant!!!
We found out on the 23rd of December, what a perfect early christmas present! Which then turned into a wonderful christmas present for our parents too!!!
So now I am 12 weeks pregnant, and have reached the 2nd trimester (hurrah!), which means that our little Seychelles baba is due August 2015.
We’ve had our first scan and all was well, we got to hear the heartbeat which is always a magical thing!
If you are a regular reader of my blog you will have noticed that the holiday posts have stopped half way through, and now you know why! I can now continue to finish those posts up!
I will be doing updates on how everything is going here on the blog. Starting with how things have been up till now. I am so excited to be able to record this pregnancy on here. I so wish I started blogging whilst I was pregnant with Arthur, such a perfect way to ensure that we don’t forget a thing!
I can’t wait to share the journey of our little expat family of three becoming a family of 4!
Oh how lovely!!! Congratulations xxxxxx
