4 weeks Pregnant (Divided We Fall)
Dear Foetus,
Today was the day your Daddy found out that you exist, Mummy didn't have the chance of telling him, Mo did that for her! There is a funny story behind this so I'll cut it short as I will be here for hours, So Mummy was in her office, updating patients notes, when Mo came in, asking if I had told your Daddy, when I said no because I thought that I had lost you as I have been bleeding slightly this morning, she came over and drew a silly picture of how I would look when you've grown bigger inside of my tummy, but I through it in the bin.
So when Mummy was in theatre, Daddy went into my office, to look for a number which I also threw in the bin (I wasn't in the best of moods today) he saw the picture, whilst Mo was standing by the doorway, watching him as he rummaged through my bin, it took him a while to click on that the picture was me with a bump, but he soon made his way down to theatre, where me and Sacha, (Mummy's best friend and Uncle Sacha to you!) where operating on an old lady, we were talking about his little girl, who's very poorly and me being me was having a rant about children and people who have children, when Daddy came racing in, we both had a chat and we did a special test and found out that you were still inside my tummy.
So that's the long winded story about how your Daddy found out about you, I'm sure we will find it funny one day, when your old enough to understand it. Anyway another thing that I found out today, I am a pretty good hairdresser, (Well I don't think i'll take it up as a career! I'll stick to being a surgeon!) I had to cut Uncle Sacha's hair, for his little girl who was scared of looking silly when her hair fell out due to her illness..
Anyway i'll write again soon,
Love Mummy xx
P.S, I told Daddy about this book and showed him so expect some weird but meaningful messages

4 weeks pregnant
Dear Darlin'
Hello sweetheart, I'm going to be your Daddy! Me and you're Mummy are very excited to see you, I think you've just taken Mummy a bit by surprise, but she will grow used to the idea!
So today I found out that you're going to be joining our little family really soon, Mummy got a wee bit scared about telling me that you existed, but thanks to auntie Mo (Who you're gonna love!) for the drawing that funny picture of how Mummy will look when you're big and grown up in Mummy's tummy (By the way I have a feeling that Mummy may be having a few wee words with you when you're older about that!) that I found out that I was going to be you're Daddy.
I am so excited to meet you and to start buying you clothes and nappies and little things like that, I must admit I was a bit angry that Mummy didn't tell me that she's pregnant but after seeing how vulnerable and scared she was when we were in the ladies bathroom earlier, (Yes, I went in the ladies toilets, only to see for my own eyes that Mummy is pregnant) doing to test, that I understood why she was so frightened and scared about telling me so, I forgive her, just don't tell her!
Anyway, I'm going to go, because I can hear Elliot and Mummy coming this way,
Write to you soon,
Lots of Love
Daddy xxx (Feels weird writing that!)
