In development
13 weeks old, ultrasound from 24 October - due date in early MaySo no, we didn't run out of funds, I discovered that I was expecting a bambino within the first couple of weeks of arriving in Buenos Aires.
Not sure what to expect, we headed to the pharmacy to get a home test... and there is no such thing as being a little bit pregnant! I am - we are - happily expecting. So after the positive home test it was a frantic search for an OB-GYN - I was referred to an excellent one called Dr. Pero (accent over the o) and he took very good care of me, the foetus and Sean. Did a blood test to confirm pregnancy had two sonograms one at eight weeks when the foetus was the size of a bean and the other at 12 weeks which as you can see he/she is looking very good in fetal position and just 8cm (3 inches)!
Hearing the baby's heart beat is always a joy and I'm greatful that Sean and I got to do this on at least four occasions before returning to England.
Now in England I had my first consultation with my GP and should be meeting my midwife soon.
lovely day for a walk
through San Telmo, the Candem of Buenos Aires Sean has been back to running every morning to begin his day right and be as productive as can be in a day. I'm mostly taking it easy doing my best to get my five fruits and veggies in every day and drinking loads more water than I thought imaginable. Will also be volunteering with the local Blind Centre once a week, looking for a swim suit to begin swimming (hoping to get three visits a week in) and in search of a guitar instructor!
As always love hugs and happiness to you and yours!

Fantastic news!
Nice one Esther! I thought Sean would be as sterile as a nuclear reactor core by now, with his poor diet of boiled sweets and full-fat coke. Looking forward to see you both soon.
