Hi Kimmi Love,
I was writing to you before when I suddenly had to rush to the toilet - my gut is acting up a little at the moment - when I got back and picked up my laptop my plug came out and of turned my computer off - the battery has died and we haven't been able to buy another yet.... so it took me ages to get back on the net!
What I had been writing was that it sounds like your brother likes the same stuff my hubby does. He's into anything electronic - which is a good thing since that is how he makes his living! Handy for me too - as he makes me all kinds of nice things!
Yeah, my computer is acting up too - John says it's Windows that is fauling up - it keeps locking my computer up so that I frequently have to press Ctrl, Alt, Del! John is going to delete everything from my hard drive and then re-install everything - he says it will fix everything - and that my computer will work so much better. Only problem is... finding the time!
I got my new Christmas tree out of the box and put it together at lunch time! It looks nice. We're going to decorate it tonight - John has to get into our spare bedroom - which is piled high with boxes and stuff - to get to the very back to fetch all our Christmas stuff. It's been a while since we've put them up - as I've been in hospitals two years running. I'm looking forward to it. I'm in the mood for Christmas. John finds it hard to get into the mood - he's used to having cold Christmases and here in NZ of course it's the middle of summer.
My family haven't mentioned anything about Christmas so John and I have decided that we'll make our own plans - and that we'll stay home and celebrate it by ourselves - it'll be the last year we can as hopefully we'll have a little Vermey helping us cellebrate next year!
I'm so excited. But scared too. Scared I'll miscarry again... John says as long as I take it easy and don't do anything stupid that everything will probably be allright, and if it goes wrong that we'll just have to try again. The other silly thing is we're unsure how far along I am! You see, last time I had a period, which is now well over 6 weeks ago... it was a very weird one - it was very light (which is very unusual for me - the norm is ultra heavy!) and also it only lasted two days (which was another weird thing for usually I bleed for about 7 days). It's all a bit of a laugh really. Here we were worrying about wanting to start a family, thinking it wasn't going to happen and it had already happened! ***LOL*** Oh well, my doctor will just have to help us figure things out.
John's as proud as a peacock! You should see him! It's so funny! I bet he's having a real hard time keeping it all to himself - I wouldn't be at all surprised if his whole office knows about it! Not that I mind, I am just not planning on saying anything to my family - I just don't to hear their negative comments right now!
Glad that you're feeling a little more cheered up! It's hard isn't it when you're feeling soooo awful.
Don't forget - I'm here if you want to talk!
Love and hugs,
-- Lin
