Dichotomy

So there's really great things and really awful things going on right now.

The great things are - being home with family, I finally got a bunch of Xmas cards done, my hubby coming soon and also my brother, and it goes without saying: the little bambino!

Bambino is still doing his thing. I feel pretty good, just have some fatigue. I actually got a little tired of HPTs because the last few times it looked relatively the same (I put the photo below, the last test is from Sat 12/15). Also I had to slow down because I only have 2 tests left.

Yesterday my Mom took me shopping for an early Xmas present: maternity clothes! I was kind of shy about it and not quite ready, but she has been so excited and she said there was no way she was going to let someone else shop with me for my first maternity clothes, lol. So we found some cute stuff and I discovered the Velcro bump they have there! It is pretty funny. I am currently wearing my new belly band (partly for bloat and partly FTHOI) and it is awesome! All pants are now stretchy! :)

After we got home from our fun outing we had a call from D, she couldn't breathe. So we told her we'd be right over and for her to call hospice. We got there almost the same time as the nurse. The nurse was very helpful, but it is beyond pitiful. I don't think she has much longer. D's son is supposed to come today so we are waiting for him.

I guess none of this compares to what Newtown is going through. It's one thing to lose an old friend who has lived a long life, another thing entirely to experience the trauma they are going through. Prayers all around.

So kind of a strange time right now! I'm so grateful we have something extra special to be joyful about, our little sunbeam. :)
