Xmas
What a strange Christmas!
We went out with Mark and Nicola for dinner on Thursday, which was lovely, and then Friday they came for some mince pies and mulled wine (an attempt of mine, which did not work very well) in the evening.
My family in Poland was having an amazing dinner prepared by my mum, consisting of an oplatek, twelve courses between blue fairies, Christmas trees and candles. I have to say that it was very hard for me not to be able to be with them.
Thank God Dora was kind enough to invite us for lunch on Saturday! She only lives 10 minutes from us, but it took me twice the time with great difficulty. We stayed until 5 O’clock and had a lovely time. A friend of hers, which coincidentally is a Spanish Chef, prepared a lovely meal of chicken, steak, potatoes and vegetables. We then proceeded to an orange and almond chocolate mousse tarte and champagne, which I had a tiny sip of.
We are now waiting for the baby and are getting quite bored and fed up, not mentioning in an extreme discomfort. Please keep your fingers crossed that it arrives soon!
Our midwife came over today and advised that the baby is all ready and in the position to come out, but feels obviously too comfortable. A walk in a park could help. So we went to Kenwood House and had a lovely walk and lunch amongst listening to crying newborns, which is supposed to bring on the labour. But no results as yet…. apart from a painful back and pelvis.
