From the diary of Samuel Pepys (1663-1703)

Blessed be God, at the end of the last year I was in very good
health, without any sense of my old pain but upon taking of
cold.  I lived in Axe yard, having my wife and servant Jane,
and no more in family then us three.  My wife, after the
absence of her terms for seven weeks, gave me hope of her being
with a child, but on the last day of the year she hath them
again.
