Today has been a real mixed up day it started off in the usual way of school run and church prayers and then we hot footed down to the midwife for my 28 week check. It's pretty routine now where she asks if there are any concerns, checks my blood pressure and takes my blood. We also have the delight of getting to listen to the baby s heartbeat. Today this was very comical as as soon as she got the lovely gel and probe out the baby gave an almighty kick making my whole stomach move..to which the midwife said she had never had that happen before ! Looks like we have another child who,likes to make their presence known!
From the midwife we went on to our toddler/drop in...always a delight to catch up with folk of all ages and fab to see seem returning mummies with their new additions . And then we had the sad occasion of visiting the crem, not unusual for me but a first for Marc, as we attended the funeral of dear friends of ours mum, a family Marc used to lodge with when he first moved down South and spent many an evening chatting too. It was strange being the other side of a funeral for a change but comforting as dad was leading the service. It was a truly lovely celebration of life and faith. I have never heard a crem congregation sing so passionately as we did today . It's always terribly sad when someone dies no matter how old they are, but it is a little bit more bare able when we have the hope of heaven.
so tonight amidst trying to get a child who has a terrible cough to sleep! amidst desperately trying to get 2 talks done for Sunday and amidst feeling emotionally drained today has been a great day of experiencing the whole circle of life with great friends and family. RIP Peggy Evans xxx
