#7 Naming – Sep 10, 2007

Just to let you know how things are going:

No miscarriage yet, just lots of pregnancy signs – sickness etc. My body still seems to be determined to think this pregnancy is going ahead.

Anyway, Justin and I talked on Sunday and I suggested naming the babies. It had always been a long-standing joke between us that, because of our surname, if we ever had twins we should call them Arthur and Martha. So, that is what we’re going to do. I feel better for doing it, like I’ve acknowledged them and their existence more.

I’m still dreading the miscarriage, but I feel more positive and happy that Arthur and Martha came along, and think there must be some good to come from it. I am firmly of the ‘things happen for a reason’ school of thought – it’s got me through having cancer this far, and I think it will get me through this too.

Love (at the moment) me, Arthur and Martha. xxx
