I have a major, major update but I don't really know whether I want to share or not. I guess I am still trying to work through it in my head.
I will give you partial information for the time being until I am clearer in my mind what I am doing.
Went to IVF clinic this morning for a scan to measure my eggs and a blood test - I have been doing this every day. Today they measured a HUGE egg and the nurse did a double take from surprise, but all the other ones aren't done yet so she said 'I think we'll let that one get a bit hard boiled as the other ones aren't ready.'
I burst out laughing - she honestly said 'hard boiled'
I asked her if the huge egg was normal and said I wasn't sure what the heck I was injecting myself with and I was imagining a scene like from that film, 'Alien' where the alien jumps out of the man's stomach and I was thinking that this huge foliacle would just explode out of my stomach.
The nurse laughed and said that she'd walk in and not see me, just the huge foilacle filling up the entire room.
We both split our sides laughing and then she said I had a sense of humour.
In the waiting room, I started to feel really ill (headache, hot and cold, sick etc) so the receptionist offered to make me a drink. She bought me a cappacino.
I felt so rough I went home and went to bed and must have slept for 3 hours. Got up, had a lemon and ginger tea, started to feel better.
Then DD3 knocked at the door and showed me her new boots (pink with flowers on, very pretty), and DD2 told me that DD1 was at home sulking because Daddy wouldn't take her to the RAM FM Bonfire Night Party (as he feels ill too) so she was refusing to leave the house even when they said they were visiting me, so Andy walked out and left her with Rose. I don't blame him, if she wants to be that stroppy.
He walked in wearing this cream coloured zip up top with kind of black speckles on it, one of those chunky knit ones - completely unlike him, he doesn't wear that kind of stuff normally and he looked great in it. My jaw sort of hit the floor, LOL.
I had just rolled out of bed with a headache and looked horrific in comparision, LOL.
Andy said he felt ill so I offered to make him a herbal tea. He said he would prefer coffee and sat there coughing and spluttering.
I got the coffee and shared some 'Taxi' bars out between the girls.
Then they told me about the funeral. DD2 apparently bawled her head off at the crematorium and DD1 wrote a little passage about what her grandad meant to her, which Andy read out for her (she was too shy to do it) and everyone cried.
Andy apparently met this relative of his called John whom he'd never heard of before and never met, so that was interesting.
He asked about my day and I told him the 'hard boiled' joke from the clinic and he laughed. Then I told him about the makeover in London and he was very intrigued about why I am going to London even though I have been reminding him for months since I need him to watch DD4 while I go.
We talked about this dream I've been having repeatedly which is worrying me and when I told him, he was worried too and tried to reassure me that 'it doesn't mean that' - mmm, I've heard that before.
DD3 and DD4 build us a big house out of lego bricks, LOL, and then I had to go and break up a dispute between DD2 and DD3.
Andy asked if I'd got my copy of my book. I said not yet and I've been rushing to the front door every morning to see if it is there! He said I should nag the publisher.
Eventually they had to go as DD1 was sulking at home with Rose, so DD3 came up and kissed me, and then Andy came up and kissed me too and I told him to go to bed early because he felt awful. He told me to tell him when they wanted to operate. I said I'd have the girls for him sometime as he's still tying up his father's affairs, we all hugged and then they left.
That is the edited version as I am still contemplating the unabridged version. May not share, or may do, not sure yet.
