What have I been doing since the end of March??!!! Life has been taken up with Lent study courses, sickly children, lots of midday naps (need more sleep badly), meeting my new midwife and my 35th birthday (arrrgghh)!
The Lent study was fantastic this year and gave rise to the opportunity for some deep meaningful conversations and some refreshing honesty. I'm really hopeful that some of the rifts that have formed in our church are healing.
My new midwife is a lovely round cuddly Trinidadian who laughs a lot. We are going to get on just fine especially as she didn't even bat an eyelid when I requested a home birth. It will be nice to have consistant care this pregnancy. During Lily's pregnancy my midwife committed suicide, a situation made doubly hard because she was a family friend. I still can't sort out my emotions over the issue. Hopefully time will change my perception or bring understanding.
About Us
New Every Morning
Every day is a fresh beginning,
Listen my soul to the glad refrain.
And, spite of old sorrows
And older sinning,
Troubles forecasted
And possible pain,
Take heart with the day and begin again
