Things have been a bit stressful around here and as a result I haven't actually sent any cards yet - they're written but not posted (that reminds me - Mary, if you're reading I can't find your address anywhere, could you please email it to me!). So I'll be posting them on Friday as it's not a bank holiday here - Rob's even got to go back to work (he asked for the day off but didn't get it). Also, people don't send Christmas cards so much here, it's usually Bonne Année (New Year) cards.
We have the anomaly scan on the 30th, I'll be 23 weeks by then. We'll also find out the sex and as long as everything goes well I'll finally be able to start planning for the new arrival.
We did have some good news this week, here in France pregnant women and new mothers can, under certain circumstances, have 'un aide à domicile', that is someone who comes to help with housework and the children. I had a meeting this week with the association that organises this and I'll be getting someone one afternoon a week to help with housework and someone one evening a week to help with the girls. We do have to pay a small amount but it is means tested.
