They're gone, we have the house back to ourselves :-) It was a nice but strange visit really. It's always really good to see my Aunt & Uncle, and I've always loved the company of my Grandma too. Since my Grandpa died 6 months ago she seems to have changed dramatically. I don't know how much of this is due to the fact that I've only really spent odd Sundays for lunch with her in the past 15 years and not an entire week (meaning my perception was off originally), or whether she's really changed in the last 6 months. Either way, it is quite odd when your opinion of someone can be totally thrown out of the window in a short space of time and you realise they're nothing like the person you thought they were. Quite peculiar and hard to adjust!
At least I can now relax this week and not struggle around the various tourist spots on a daily basis. The gigantic-ness of my stomach yesterday seems to have gone, I think it was wind, something I've been suffering with rather badly this entire pregnancy!
Had to take D to the DR this afternoon as he has a red and runny right eye. He also has swollen glands on his neck. Turns out he has a throat and ear infection as well as eye. He's such a stoical child that he never complains, bless, so I had no idea his ear/throat were infected. Antibiotics should clear it up.... I was surprised to find out that this is his first prescription for them in the 3 years that we've been in Canada. I think he's only had them twice prior to that too, for ear infections when he was very small. Nice strong healthy boy! He's also got some eye drops for the eye infection, should be fun getting him to sit still to apply those - NOT!
Today makes 25 weeks pregnant. Seems to be a more respectable number of weeks than previously, for some reason. Makes me feel like I'm well on the way to due date. Apparently I'm now experiencing 'Vivid and Scary Dreams'. Unfortunately this is true, although at least I'm not suffering with insomnia - quite the opposite, I can't get enough sleep right now. But, my brain must be working overtime in there because I've been having the most peculiar dreams about all kinds of things in my past and present on a nightly basis.
My stomach has also, in the last week, begun to move on it's own quite visibly from the outside.
Posted by katie at April 19, 2004 07:39 PMI like the dream I had Saturday night better than your vivid and scary dreams - Jennifer Garner (Alias, 13 going on 30, Daredevil) was trying to get a date with me :-) My girlfriend found that amusing but she hit me when I said Jennifer Garner was quite pretty.
