Grandad and Grandma Ellis-to-be



Great Grandma and Grandad Hogg-to-be


My belly



Daddy!

Telling people

OK, so ALL the family know now! It was so nice spreading the news. Grandma was delighted, then we told Dad on Skype and I rang Daniel today, who said it was fantastic. I just had the urge to let everyone know. They all seem really happy. I'm so happy.


To top it all off, Harry's brother Rob and Sarah are also having a baby!


Our wedding is now going to be in 2012. We have decided to put it on hold until we can do things properly. It'll still be an intimate affair but in America! I love the idea of doing it in Disney World. In 2 years time, we can take our baby who will also love it.


I still don't look pregnant! Which is fine. I did take another test to make sure I still was though. It was positive. Trying to rest as much as possible this week as I have a busy work schedule next week.

A busy weekend!

We told Rob (Harry's bro) last night. He was very happy for us.


I did my first yoga class at the studio yesterday - I was a bit nervous as I'd not been in the heat for a couple of weeks, but it was fine. I went near the door and did the modifications. Gonna go back this morning. No change to my body yet, I still don't look pregnant.


We're planning our wedding - trying to sort the guest list out at the moment. It's so difficult as we only have 40 spaces so that means cutting back on partners and not so close family. However, we will have a big party later in the year and everyone will be invited. We're going to see a place in Loughborough on Sunday which may be nice for the reception dinner. Fingers crossed.


This weekend is busy. Teaching later then we're out with our neighbours for a Christmas Do. Tomorrow I'm teaching again and we're going to mum's for lunch then checking wedding venues. Phew!

An OK! wedding?!

I told Jo today. She was very happy. I also mentioned that we were getting married and she's already been in touch with OK! and Hello magazine...no joke! I love the fact that OK! wrote back and asked who was on the guest list! erm.


Feeling more sick than ever this evening. It's better after I've eaten or if I do some exercise. It's nice to be at home, we put the Christmas decorations up yesterday and it's so cosy. We're really excited about telling our family. Rob is coming down tomorrow so we'll tell him then. Harry's telling Mark on Saturday and I'm heading over to see Dad next week. Can't wait until it's all in the open and we can start planning.

Wednesday morning 2am

So here I am again. It's 2:02 am. I'm eating cereal, wishing the time away. This is my last overnight shift and in 5 hours I can go to bed and just concentrate on being pregnant!


I'm desperate to tell my family - especially Dad and Daniel. Grandma is coming down on Tuesday so I can't wait to tell her. I'd like to tell people face to face so I can savour their reaction. My diary is pretty hectic over the next couple of weeks - I'm gonna try and have a re shuffle so I can make some time for visiting people...as well as relaxing and doing yoga.


Today's been pretty manic actually - filming in Sheffield. I've been craving savoury food and felt pretty bloated today after eating lunch (and then a burrito which I had to eat in front of camera for a feature we were doing). Not too sure if it's the baby growing or just my belly! Also have waves of nausea - I really hope it doesn't get worse. I hate being sick.


Harry's been looking at names today - he asked me if I liked the name 'Ivy' or 'Iris'. You can guess what my reply was.
