Heart

The heart is an amazing thing, it's been on my mind a lot lately, not only because of heartburn.

A part of your body as normal as your elbow, yet it feels emotion. It breaks when you lose a loved one, it swells with happiness with good news & I can feel mine growing everyday with this baby. Sometimes if I think about it too much my heart feels like it will burst from my chest with the joy & love that it's trying to contain. And the thought that there are 2 hearts beating in my one body is sometimes just a little bit weird! Not to mention the extra head I'm growing.

(that's 2 heartbeats including my own - NOT twins!)

Yesterday we heard Sophie/Jacks heartbeat, & once again I was in tears. I just can't believe it.

Benedict

We had a fairly busy weekend, my friend Dee the clairvoyant came up on Friday from down the coast & we had a lovely dinner at the local chinese with mum, dad, Jess, Adam, Xakk and us. It was a very enjoyable meal.

Saturday Dee did 4 readings, while I entertained those waiting. Then we drove Dee home & called in to Denise & Beth's. We weren't going to stay long but we were having such a nice time that we stayed for dinner & didn't get home until almost midnight. It was great just hanging out on the couch, talking & laughing.
The girls wanted to do the wedding ring over my belly thing to see what sex the baby is. So they googled the rules & all had a turn. The ring didn't move for a couple but for 2 it went in a definite circle so apparently I'm having a girl - I won't be rushing out to buy pink stuff yet though!

Sunday Darren & I went to Miranda to get some clothes for me. First we had breakfast in one of the Cafes there. I'm almost ashamed to admit it, but I got teary over breakfast! It was Darren's fault though - I love eggs benedict, it is my favourite cafe breakfast item. But at the moment I can't have it - what with the runny egg, ham & possibly unwashed spinach. So we are sitting in the cafe & Darren says that he is going to order eggs benedict! I really thought he was joking, but he wasn't! I said "how could you, how could you order my favourite food & eat it in front of me?" he just looked at me, & watched me start tearing up. I then said "if you do this I will write about it" so he backed down & had the sausage with eggs - I almost felt guilty - but I didn't.

I got 3 new dresses - really comfy ones with just elastic around the top & then flowing out - (like the black & white ones we got the same - Janna) a little shrug top some new knickers (cause mine are getting too tight & uncomfy & a body pillow. But I cannot shop like I used to - I think Darren was very happy about that.

We went to Mum & Dad's for dinner & so I could watch some Amazing Race that my dvr failed to record. Then headed home early for bed.
