The guests have left - both short and long term ones. A and I have the house to ourselves after nearly a year; we are slightly unsure what to do now. The bank holiday weekend started off with a marathon cleaning spree - almost a means of reclaiming the house for ourselves. After that successful experiment, we now feel a bit better. Things are back in the places we would like to have them, the mess is self created and hence invisible to the eye.
We are also acutely aware of the fact that this peace, quiet and tranquility is going to be short-lived and that we have just about 5 and a half months of it to ourselves. And that although we are still thinking of ourselves as the 'two of us', in a few months its going to be all about the 'three of us'. This thought comes with mixed emotions. While we are excited to bits that we are having a baby, there is a part of us that wants to hold on to each other for a little longer.
We had our first scan last week and saw the little one jumping about, waving, doing all kinds of unimaginable things inside. We nearly yelled with joy. Excited and hungry, we went to our favorite Thai joint for a celebratory lunch - we just couldn't stop smiling - that little bundle of joy was our creation - we had created her/him (don't know yet) all by ourselves!
Oh, if only I could pop some champagne right now! As it is, will have to make do with orange juice for the moment! :-)
