I had a couple of my focal seizures this week, they
were very small but still happened, although I knew I would probably have some
more as they weren’t controlled before the pregnancy. Luckily I received a letter from my
specialist in the post the next day saying my Lamotrigine levels were still
quite low so I increased my dose to 550mg which made me feel a little more
confident.
My
friend Leti came to visit from Switzerland with her husband, and little boy who
was almost 2. It was so lovely to see
her; we managed to have a proper chat about everything, about my pregnancy and
how she was getting on in Switzerland. I
had always had great admiration for her as she had become pregnant not long
after moving to Switzerland and so had quite a limited support network. They had brought him up very much on their
own, I’m not sure I could do that, I know I am going to rely so much on my Mum
and close friends to help me with the baby.
But having them stay with us taught us a lot about looking after a young
child, and I think Rich became more confident because he was so good with their
little boy. We went to the local
children’s farm and Rich played with him in the soft play and Rich fed the fish
with him every night. He just seemed
like a natural Dad, I knew he would be, but seeing him with her little boy made
me smile so much. It was especially
amazing and special because her little boy could only speak Spanish so a lot of
our communication was with pointing and facial expressions!!!
