So it has almost been 4 months since I last donated my eggs to T. Everything is back to normal now: my menstrual cycle, my fitness, my well-being. And best of all, T is pregnant!

Yes she is pregnant, and very much so. I didn't want to update my blog earlier for fear of tempting fate, but she has gone through her first trimester and tomorrow will be week 15. Week 15 - FIFTEEN - I still find it amazing that she has gone so far. We have kept in close contact the past few months and I am truly happy and excited for her whenever I receive an email update saying that all is well. Of course the first few weeks were terrifying - she didn't feel any "morning sickness" and she had a bit of spotting - but they were just false alarms. As the days progressed, then the weeks, we felt more and more sure that this is truly happening. I know, deep down, it's all down to science, but sometimes I can't help but kick my atheist and logic faculty aside and tell myself it's a miracle.

Just look at the golden baby at 9 weeks old:




It IS a miracle. Indeed.

(But I have to say that ultrasound scans at 9 weeks still look way too fuzzy for me to tell what is what...)
