This is our journey to a baby brother or sister for Charlie. We have a lot to consider: a 25 percent chance of Meckel-Gruber Syndrome - a genetic condition which is uniformly fatal AND a 10 percent chance of Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome. But just because we know the odds of the worst happening, doesn't mean we aren't hoping for the best. Charlie would love a sibling - even if he only gets to keep them for a very short time.

Sleepless in Cardiff...
It's late, and I can't sleep. Pete is away and I miss him so much. I seem to need his physical presence all the more when I'm pregnant - even if he's just asleep next to me, just having him here is comforting and reassuring. I have so much flying around my head - we have the first scan on Friday and I'm starting to get a bit anxious that there won't be a heartbeat. I've even been dreaming about it. In many ways, I don't feel a huge maternal bond with LO yet - I'm more concerned that if all isn't well, we'll have to go through all this again - the physical pain and inconvenience of miscarriage, the stress of the 'two-week wait', and then the exhaustion and the sickness. I so hope all is well with this tiny, little life. Hang in there LO.
