A Restful Week

Just a very quick update, as not a lot to say after a week in bed !  It’s a bit strange that I haven’t left the house in a week, and a shame as it’s so sunny outside, but I feel much better as a result.  Very rested, clearer in my head, physically more comfortable, despite my huge tummy.  I’ve got on well with my knitting projects, which has been relaxing and satisfying at the same time and I’ve had a few friends drop round to cheer me up, which has certainly helped.  In the last couple of days, I’ve felt able to take on a little bit of work again, which I’ve just done a bit here and there, quietly from my bed, but all the same, I feel better for getting involved again and feeling much less fuzzy .  This morning, I will have my last visit from the midwife, so I hope she’s pleased with me and says I can start getting up a little bit.  I’m at 36 weeks this weekend and therefore past any danger.

Preparations for the baby are coming on.  The house is being cleaned this week by a firm we’ve hired, since I’m not able to do any more housework.  Tomorrow, we will have the last of the baby things and JF is going to get it all set up in our bedroom.  We’re very excited!  I’ve also (fingers crossed, as nothing’s signed yet) succeeded in re-letting my flat in London, so I don’t need to go through a sale, which is a huge relief.  I’m so glad that with the immenent arrival, everything seems to be starting to fall into place.  I just hope it will continue like that!
