Happy Valentine's Day!!

Happy Valentine's day to everyone.

Hope you all had a lovely day so far and that you have been spoiled rotten.

Rikus and I went to Klerksdorp for my good friend Jackie's brithday party last night. The party was held at Thaba Tshwene Game Lodge and it was absolutely beautiful there. Magnificent views and awesome food and company. The atmosphere was so peaceful. We had a lovely party and went to bed in our gorgeous room at about 11h30 and then had a great breakfast this morning. According to Rikus this was my Valentine's present. It was a lovely present.. I enjoyed it very much.

When we walked into the party, Jackie introduced me to one of her old friends, and the friend asked me when is my baby due. I had to tell her that my baby died 3 weeks ago, and she was very embarassed. She felt very awkward, but it didn't offend me at all. I told her briefly what happened and we changed the conversation. What I am a bit worried about is the fact that I still look pregnant to some people?? Do I really? She should have seen me 3 weeks ago. So I guess it's back to gym to work a bit harder.

Seems I am going to be all by my lonesome self this week. Rikus is going to do a clinic in the Natal Midlands. He is a Medical Orthitist/Prosthetist in other words he makes artificial limbs.
They will be making arms legs for thirty patients so it will be a hard week for him. My parents are also going out of town for the week to visit my brother and sister-in-law in Ballito and my in-laws are going on a cruise on the Melody, so I am really going to miss them all.

I recently suffered from acute pain in the lower abdominal side on Thursday and was crying in my office, the pain was so unbearable. Gynae couldn't see me, because he was in Kroonstad, but I had a sonar done at the Radiologist and he said my ovaries seem very enlarged, but other than that everything else looks normal. The pain subsided after taking two Mypaids every 6 hours. Feeling much better today though. I think it might just be a UTI.

I have been reading an interesting book lately, called The Hollow heart by Martina Devlin. It is the story of a woman suffering from infertility and how it eventually destroyed her marriage. She is still childless, but has made a new life for herself. The book has kept me up till late at night, because I simply can't put it down....

Now back to that book I was just telling you about..
