Something Something Baby Something
Rather than wibble around and take ages to get to the point, here's the headline news. Inside Jane it looks like this:
Or, in other words:
Obviously, we've known about this for a while. Since early September, in fact. Although, just at the point I told my counsellor about it Jane had a horrible shock when it seemed very-much like she'd miscarried. It was only about three weeks later, when she went to see the doctor to ask how long the nausea would carry on that we were sent to see the Early Pregnancy Unit. They were frankly amazing, took a quick look with the ultrasound, and we got to see the an early fetal heartbeat!
Baby's temporary holding name is "Loki the trickster foetus".
Anyway! We're delighted, it was fantastic having the proper scan today, complete with seeing the baby's hands waving about and them stretching into different positions, and I'm now excitedly (and nervously) looking forward to next May.
Oh, and if anyone is trying to get pregnant, and wants a recommendation, then I can honestly tell you that the Hotel Saint Paul Rive Gauche in Paris worked for us.

One random thought that does spring to mind is to wonder, if you had not posted this, how long it would have taken before a human (or perhaps a determined machine-learning type algorithm) could have inferred your impending parenthood from the choice of topics in your daily link posts. I'm guessing there will be some gentle skew towards links related to that sort of thing, just because it'll be more on your mind than it used to be :-)
Anyway, congratulations, and may it all go smoothly!

And good question. When I have created a life form I shall set them to the ask of analysing all of my posts.
(And thanks - I hope so too!)
