Well, Christmas flashed by in a whirlwind. Husband finished work, we visited Aunty Mary (Sunday), Dave and Claire and new baby (Monday), Gran (Tuesday), my Nan (Wednesday) then it was Christmas Eve (Thursday) and we had to go and buy a shirt for husband and get final bits and bobs from the town centre, then Friday was Christmas Day. If I remember correctly Edward had a reasonable night, and we were up at around 7am to open Christmas stockings. All showered and dressed then downstairs for croissants and pain au chocolat, and then opening of the tree presents. Doing the dinner at home and not having to go anywhere worked well. My family came over, I was cooking from around 10am (even though we only had a turkey crown and not a full-blown turkey), and although we were supposed to eat at 1pm we ate at 1.20pm. Edward has his afternoon nap, then they opened more presents - Elizabeth found her bike behind the settee, but was probably more taken with the £5 Tesco doll! Edward opened up his garage and seemed to like it. The family all came round in the evening once we'd got Edward and Elizabeth off to bed. We watched the Devon DVD and they ate the sausage rolls I'd made. We had some really nice presents - Nigel Slater cookery book from Amy and Chris (plus DVD and homemade biscuits), knife sharpener and necklace from Carley and Stu, shirt from Dad plus Rachel Allen cookbook, James Martin cookbook from Mum... Boxing day was spent at home again, and we took Elizabeth out on her bike for a walk around the block. Carley and Stu came over with Amy to give their presents to the children, then on the Sunday husband went out to see Avatar in 3D at the cinema with Mum, Dad, Carley and Stu. I was pretty upset about it (blame hormones!) as even though I didn't want to see Avatar, wouldn't have minded if someone had wanted to come over to see me... as it was, watched Casualty and went to bed. Monday I think we went to the shops to take pre-Christmas clothes back, and Tuesday we went out in the evening with Amy and Chris, Wednesday they went home and we went to Enginuity in Ironbridge, then Thursday was New Year's Eve and husband's Dad's 80th. We piled over to Cannock for our buffet lunch and presented FIL with his photobook. Came home and watched a strange DVD (The Hangover) - still can't seem to get the New Year DVD comedy thing right! Didn't see it in - went to bed at around 11am. New Year's Day saw my parents - actually went over to them! Hadn't been there in literally months. Watched the other DVD that night - Burn once read - supposedly a comedy too although we didn't get it. Saturday - The Moat House for 80th Celebration Meal, and Sunday to the town centre again to take back my perfume and jumper, and husband's tie. Phew!! He's back at work today, and we've been to Sainsbury's to buy a new frying pan...
No sign of my period. So - we tried on 16th, 19th, 20th and 22nd December and period should be due around 7th. Am almost positive I am pregnant - feel hungry and faintly sick, but more worrying the itching has returned on my thighs and upper arms, at a low level, in the early evening.
