Hi, my name's Raonaid and I'm nearing the end of my fourth pregnancy. It all feels a bit surreal which seems odd as it's my fourth. Discovering I was pregnant was a lovely and very big surprise. We thought we had completed our family 5 years ago, which took lots of time and patience as I have PCS. However, I feel this is a particularly special baby as she was conceived just after my period had finished (on a one off 'let's risk it' night in Sweden) and is due very near to the 1st anniversary of my father's death which was on the 30th May 2007.

I think it is dad's way of telling me to move on and to be happy at that time of year. It will be a very emotional time for all of us.

I am enjoying being off work, and would like to not have to go back - something we are working towards achieving. We are planning on moving to NE Scotland and building our own home out of the ruins of an old farm building which sits within a few acres of beautiful untouched green hills and forests. Somewhere, I can watch my kids play and grow up... away from the traffic and dirt of towns and cities.

It's May today! So I can now say I'm due later this month!! I'm meeting a friend from work for lunch. It will be weird to visit the office as I haven't seen anyone for about 2 months... I look quite different now, and was described as smuggling a very large rugby ball under my dress at the week-end! Still it will be lovely to see her and catch up on all the news.
