Here I am at 18 weeks. Still walking. Still yoga-ing. Still trying to convince hubby that I am pregnant and we are going to have a baby in August (insh'Allah).
So while this is all so exciting and we are super duper happy, there is still a lot of grumpy-why me?-stress in our lives. I keep thinking, thank God we have this baby to keep us going on, as really Bam Bam is the only thing that matters, and all the other BS, is well just BS.
You see it looks like our builders have screwed us out of 15,000 Euros (US $21,000) and now we have to go and see a lawyer next week. This means our house build has slowed down a lot. We were meant to be in by January and now it's March and it doesn't look like we will be moving in anytime soon. Thankfully we decided to get the flooring and windows ourselves so these things are moving forward there but we now have to make a big money decision - do we finally fire our builders, swallow the loss for the time being, pay (again) for the final works to be done and then at least we can move in soon (though won't have any money left for furniture!) and try and get the money they owe us back off them at a later date. Or do we hold on, keeping the house static, not paying anything else and just wait to see what happens with the legal proceedings and just keep on living in my parents rented house until.....?? Grrrr.... stupid, irritating situation which we really didn't need right now - but looking on the bright side (what else can you do?) we have a learned a lot, I mean this has been a HUGE life lesson for Mr. T and me... though we seem to have had a lot of these recently. IF and miscarriage being our last huge life lessons.
Oh and to top it all off, our adorable furbaby Mika went missing last night. Mr.T went looking for her until 2am and I went off for an hour and a half looking for her this morning. No sign of her. Hoping she has just decided to go walkabout and will come home soon.
