Those Blooming Follicles

Went for monitoring today. I have 12 lovely follicles blooming. 4 on the right and 8 on the left - all less than 10mm. It makes perfect sense as the right ovary is the one that was operated on last year.
I am proud of my 12 follicles, and feel very protective of them. Considering I only had 6 last time this is progress! David wanted to know if I would name them. Thought this was a great idea and wanted to call them the names of Santa's reindeer but after a quick google search I realise there are only nine reindeer. Another search for 'famous twelves' and I got the 12 Apostles (probably should have known that anyway, but my Religious Education was many moons ago).

So, the follicles will hereby be known as:

Simon
Andrew
James
John
Philip
Bartholomew
Matthew
Thomas
James
Simon
Judas
Matthias (was Judas Iscariat before he turned)

Of course, I know nothing really about each one and I am not religious by any stretch of the imagination but why not put a little faith in a higher power for once?
These are all boys names and David told me last night though that because he drinks we would have a girl. Apparantly someone told him that if you're a bit of a drinker you will have a girl first. I mean, I don't mean he's an alcoholic but probably drinks more than your average suburban American, but not that much more than your average Welsh Valleys boyo. When we thought about it, all of our friends who drink quite a bit had girls first, then boys after they had already had one child and couldn't go out drinking so much. Maybe there's something in it, who knows...
