I thought I'd be bouncing with excitment when I announced the news that Mattie was pregnant, but I'm not. Oh I'm really pleased that she is, it gives something to focus on - but at the moment I'm totally consumed with my mother and her health issues. It seems Mattie is only carrying a small litter, 4 clearly seen, but of course there could be couple more which would be nice.
Mum had been in so much pain that she feels life is not worth living. She can't get out of bed in the mornings and is really struggling to even move about the house. We do feel like we are back to square one and I feel like everything is currently on my shoulders. My brother lives near Manchester, and Mum's brother and family are currently away.
I can't deny the fact that I'm stressed and after losing the weight of last years comfort eating I'm already starting to crave the wrong calories!
