We hadn't been trying for a baby, not yet anyway. The plan, the dream always was to get married and THEN start trying for a little baby all of our own.
On the run up to our wedding in Santorini this May 2025, we had been mindful that getting pregnant at certain points could be pretty detrimental to our big day. It would be far less than ideal if I could no longer fly there to get married!
As the days and weeks turned into months, and the impact of falling pregnant reduced, we became much more relaxed. Graham starrted saying things 'If you fell pregnant now... It wouldn't be the end of the world!' and it became a regular topic of conversation between us.
On the 25th March, the day of my very first seamstress appointment. The crucial appointment where they were going to be pinning my dress and pulling it in at all the right places... Was the very day that I got a positive pregnnacy test.
I found out in the morning beforr work. Ironically I don't know what possessed me to take that cheap line test that day... I did the test and brushed my teeth, not even glancing back at the test on the side. I certainly didn't expect it to come up positive with such a distincly clear second line. A line that I hadn't seen since my pregnany with Louis back in 2020.
