At the end of 2012, I shared some sad news: that Ruth and JTA had suffered a miscarriage. It was a tragic end to a tragic year.
I just wanted to share with you something that we’ve all kept quiet about until now, until we all felt confident that we weren’t likely to have a repeat of that tragedy: as Ruth just mentioned on her blog, too, she’s pregnant again! With a due date of New Year’s Eve there’s plenty of time for us to get settled into our new house before then, but it looks like she’s still going to find herself excused of all of the heavy lifting during the move.
Needless to say, this is all incredibly exciting news on New Earth, and we’ve had to bite our tongues sometimes to not tell people about it. Apologies to those of you who’ve invited us to things (e.g. at Christmas and New Years’) that we’ve had to quietly turn down without explanation – at least now you know!
I’m sure there’ll be lots to say over the coming months. I can’t promise as thorough updates as Siân‘s fantastic pregnancy blogging, but we’ll see what we can do.
I wish you all the very best!
*many hugs*
Thanks! We’re all filled with “squee!” Even JTA, who’s normally filled with a sense of impending doom, seems to have at least a little “squee!” in him.
Obviously that’s why I got pregnant :)
It was all a clever ruse!
Yay, congratulations to you all! That’s such good news. And I do expect plenty of updates :) x
Congratulations to all three of you, and to the new lifeform/s.
