Sharing the news
Well, it has been a surreal few hours. I called Martin at work last night to tell him I really felt like going out for dinner. 
We’re trying really hard to save money for a holiday, so he was hard to convince, but I got there in the end. I ran down in to town to see if I could find anything whatsoever that had the word “dad” in it – you know, “world’s greatest dad”, “no.1 dad” type fathers day gifts. I eventually found a dodgy looking mug and coaster set with “dad’s house rules” written on it. I bought it and a slab of chocolate (for the shock!) and on my return home, wrapped my first pregnancy test in a plastic bag and wrapped the lot up. I met Martin at the restaurant a little while later and told him I’d bought him a present. He opened it and his first response was “is this what I think it is!” I welled up with tears and said “yes – the doctor needs to wait for the tests to come back, but thinks I’m potentially up to 8 weeks already!”
Finding Out
My name is Luschka. I am 29 years old, married for 4 years. Today I found out that I am pregnant. I always wondered how it would feel. I always wondered if I’d know before the test showed it. I always wondered how I would tell my husband. I guess by the time I go to bed tonight, I’ll know.
Ham House and Gardens, Richmond
I spent most of today walking around Richmond with my friend Gloria. Our initial intention was to visit Ham House, but unfortunately it was closed for the winter. We spent about an hour strolling around the gardens, and had delicious scones and clotted creams at the Orangery Cafe.
