A friend just called me today offering help should we need it in our current predicament :). It was the sweetest, kindest thing to do, thank you! We are, however, also doing much better. Husband still limps pathetically around (the pathetic part he does on purpose ;)) but does not need the crutches anymore and could even go to work today. My skin is not itching anymore than it usually does so we made the decision over the weekend that I wouldn't go to the laboratory after all. Quite simply because the 10h fast really is awful when you suffer from severe heartburn due to the fact that the baby is pressing upwards so much.
I am getting very tired and sleep at odd times during the day but that's good practise for the forthcoming I'm told. The not so fun part is that I'm now feeling almost as nauseus as in the beginning of the preganancy which worries me somewhat but is probably caused by a change in my diet. Husband is as reassuring as ever and whenever I worry takes it easy and tries to make me see sense. But it is harder than I'd want. I know everything is in God's hands but this baby is so precious to us that any hint of possible problems gets to me no matter how I try to stay calm and trust that everything is ok. So, I pray a lot. Sometimes it helps sometimes it doesn't. Not because God doesn't hear but because I'm too wrapped around my own worry I think. Being calm, collected and trusting is what I'd like to be but the more tired I get the harder it becomes to be any of those things. But I do try!
Baby, on the other hand, seems to be her busy self and is starting to show signs of liking the oddest type of music! She likes organ music which despite my profession I'm not a huge fan of and a kind of a cheesy 80's song was on the radio as we drove to pick up husband from work and she was really excited. Interestingly she also got very excited about the American Idols guys singing and couldn't care less about the women when they sang :). Her all time favourite is still my friend Sarah who has a beutiful, beautiful voice (and just for the record there's nothing odd about liking her :)).
This is how the nursery now looks like. It's not quite ready but you get the idea I hope.
