Pinky and the Geek

I have been doing the 30 days of Truth meme over on my own blog. There have been a lot of days questions where I could have written about The Geek but did not. The one was about someone who makes your life worth living and many said their partner, I said I had to find worth in myself and that others could only adding meaning and pleasure. There was one about someone you could not live without and again I said having lost the true me in my marriage before the person I could not live without was the Pink Hair Girl inside. Then today the topic was on writing a play list to someone, I chose my daughter, again many did their partners.

I made me feel a little bad, but for those questions and that Meme those answers seemed like the best ones. It does not mean that The Geek is not the man I want to spend forever with or that I value him any less. Anyone who follows this blog knows that The Geek does not find blurting all he feels out all over a blog as easy as I do. But when he does sit down and share his thoughts and words they are always touching and show how deeply he does thinks and feels about things.

When the ex and I split he told me that I had to get my own medical aid even though I was paying all of the stuff here in SA, including all his policies for last year for which he owes me over R24000, but that is another story.

Anyway I was looking through my policy and noticed that they don’t cover you for pregnancy if you have been with them for less than 18 months -Panic

It is not the birth that is a big problem as we are doing this at home with a midwife. It is the backup if we need to go to hospital. I was really really worried. Not that I think anything will go wrong but you want to feel you have a strong backup plan if needed. So you can forget about it and just birth without worry.

It was only because of the good ambulance service and good NHS hospitals in the county I was in the UK that I felt safe to have an unassisted birth.

Anyway I finally get through to a consultant and because I moved within the same company and same policy they see it as a continuation rather than a new policy and we are covered. Relief!!

We moved last week and hence life has been busy and my blogging has been slow. I blogged pictures of the lack of space that we had before. It worked and was what we could manage when I first moved to Cape Town but it really was time to move on. The frustration of moving when pregnant is that you can’t do as much as you would like to. I was very good and did not lift too may heavy boxes.

I have been looking at pictures on line of newborn photography so that I can get some idea for my knitting project. Awww looking at all those newborns has really started to make me feel broody. Well it is about time I am almost half way. I think baby will be early, so I think we are half way. Continue Reading →

Like I said on my personal blog I am reading a book on birth, well hypnobirthing actually. It was talking about the mind body connection, how what we think, influences what happens to us. While she was focusing on birth but also talking about the stuff that we attract to us in our everyday life can be influenced by our thoughts. Continue Reading →
