Happy New year everyone first and foremost!

We had a good Christmas and New Year with friends and family. Our two boys go back to school tomorrow and we have just about survived all their excitement I have had a longer than expected break from work due firstly to the snow and travel problems the UK had in December and more recently customers messing me about

Liz has been very tired and quite exhausted a lot of the time really. She had a day when she felt really well and was worried something might be wrong She is back to feeling tired now and she didn’t sleep to well last night bless her. She changed her scan date from Monday to Friday next week so we have to wait a little bit longer to see that. We are both just crossing everything and hoping all is well. We have been following all the stages of development on our apple apps to see what our baby should be doing and how big (small) they are. We are still at the beginning of a very long journey.

We still feel incredibly lucky, amazed, thrilled, nervous, happy etc etc to even have been blessed enough to get to this stage.

We did get a bit carried away on our trips to the sales this year, looking at baby products and starting to think of all the things we might like to have. We have not even thought about this previously as it seemed so crazy to even think we might get pregnant. We had to bring ourselves back down to earth before we starting buying all sorts of stuff. We best wait a lot lot longer yet we did think about at least starting a list of all the things we are going to need as it has been a long time since we little babies in the house. Starting to consider stuff like fire guards, stair gates etc on top of all the obvious stuff. You forget all the containing toddlers and babies require We do have some nice stuff tucked away in the loft for our youngest and eldest children, must have been up there 8 years so I am not sure on its condition I do remember the electronic baby swing was a life saver at times

I hope our excitment will be allowed to continue and thanks to you all for your support and information on twitter. Even after going through a cycle of treatment we still dont understand a 10th of the things you wonderful people do.

All the best wishes in what ever stages of treatment or planning you are going through.

Max and Liz
