Through December

We are at 26 weeks this week and I'm starting to have signs of preeclampsia.
I came down with this in my third pregnancy and we managed quite well.
The worrying about blood pressure can be a bit over whelming
so I'm sourcing a blood pressure unit next week.
We just had our traditional Christmas dinner.
Its wonderful being able to hold this tradition each year
and we look forward to growing old and watching

new families gather around us in the same way.
It's 11pm here, I have cleaned up after everyone,
washing on and floors washed.
These photos are just as my house is now,
While everyone else sleeps and I nest.
Tomorrow will be a day of putting my feet up and eating left overs.
