Seven years ago, next month, I started to feel ill, tired. Off to the doctors to see if it might be a spider, or insect bite. No, could have been the cleaning fluids. Went on for a couple more weeks so I went to doc to check for iron levels. All ok, Still feeling unwell, weary, I went back the next month to check for Ross river fever, or glandular fever. Again, all clear.
By this time hubby was taking time off to help with the kids, as I was unsafe to drive. That week, again, back to doc. "I've been a bit late," I say in my exhausted state. "Could it be because I'm so ill?" "How about we do this other test...?"
Guess what? Baby number 5 would be due in mid January 😍
I was 16 weeks along already, which didn't leave much time to make clothes. I didn't have much from the older kids as I didn't knit when they were born. I went on a knitting, and crochet, frenzy...
