12.5 weeks, but now coping with a bereavement

I havn't posted many entries over the last while.

I lost my mom a few weeks ago, and although I live in holland, I am Irish
and returned to Ireland for 3 weeks.

I have to tell you, my pregnancy is progressing fine. I was checked out by our
family doctor, and had a scan, and have been told that everything is fine, and that
the stress of my bereavement, thus far, has had no effect on the baby. As you can imagine this is a relief.

Now the birth of my child is going to be a bitter sweet event. I am looking forward to meeting him or her (I don't want to know if it's a boy or a girl until he/she is born) but I am sorry my mom won't be here. On the birth of my first child she visited me here in holland for 5 weeks, and was going to do the same thing again, and I am going to miss her input, her help, well I am just going to miss her.

I hope all goes well with this pregnancy, and proceeds as it all should go, as usual, if I have anything to report, I will let you all know xxx
