Ah, it's snowing here. Usually, I love the snow but I am approaching 25 weeks now and feeling too nervous to go out and play or to even walk about in it. I have previously had a late miscarriage so probably more nervous and cautious than usual.
Looking on facebook, there are a lot of excited people (adults) and usually I would be out playing with the dcs, sledging, snowball fights etc. but now I am sat looking at it thinking how pretty it is but how housebound I am.
Don't get me wrong, I've got stuff to do indoors which would probably keep me busy for a few days but I don't actually like that feeling of not being able to get out. I live in a village, the roads aren't terrible but I'm a nervous driver so don't feel inclined to venture out in the car either (side roads haven't been gritted).
I guess this is likely to mean school closures tomorrow, if it continues - o.k for my eldest dc (secondary school age) but my youngest is a pre-schooler and I rely on the pre-school to wear her out in the mornings so that we can have quiet afternoons.
I shouldn't feel down but I do, I know it is a minor thing in the grand scheme of things but everything seems like a big trial at the moment.
I am grateful, I am not near my due date, I think I would be fretting about road access to the hospital too, if the snow continued.
Having typed all of this, it could all well clear in a few hours but it looks pretty set in to me. Youngest dc is loving it and that is lovely to see, so I am pleased for her and dh is around which makes all the difference today x
Whinge over.
