In which the stork pays a preliminary visit....

I'm still in shock.

First round of IUI, 5% chance of success....and I'M PREGNANT!!!! How amazing is that?

I'm convinced it was all the positive visualisation I did lying on the couch immediately post IUI: come on boys, swim swim swim!!! Just as well Bald Bloke wasn't involved, or they'd have taken one look at the egg and gone "bugger that, I'm off for a pint".

So I'm 10 weeks now and obsessively checking "ask.baby.com" for the daily picture and update on the Bean. The Bean has got past alien/tadpole stage now, and is looking vaguely human, though I noticed this morning that he/she seems to have developed a hunchback overnight. Hopefully this is a passing phase.....

Current names are:
Imogen Rose
Toby Jack Headley

I'm very tempted by Bear as a first name (think Bear Gryllis, intrepid manly explorer. Yum), but Bear Headley is probably asking for trouble. Bruno is also off the list for now, as 99% of those polled responded "ooh it sounds a bit gay". Curse Sacha Baron Cohen.

30 weeks to go!
