still interested?

Pippa: Managed to keep myself busier today painting the spare room. I've quite exhausted myself and am really missing that evening glass of wine. The doctors have asked us to keep alcohol intake to 5 units per week- PER WEEK! So that's 0 units this week so far, I am doing well.

I'm sure the drinking ban will be much harder on Jack, he does like his beer. I am wondering how I will explain why I am drinking coke at social occasions as it is not usually in my nature to abstain. I have told only 2 close friends about the IVF and I'm a bit worried that friends and family will jump to the conclusion that I am pregnant which will result in unwanted questioning.

Also can't help thinking about the spare room as a potential nursery and this makes it difficult to decide how to decorate. I certainly won't be putting up spongebob squarepants wallpaper or painting rainbows but I want to make sure it is easily convertible in case we are successful.
Jack doesn't like thinking this way, he refuses to plan for or get excited about anything that is not set in stone, that way he can't be disappointed. He has a point, but that's just not me. Besides, I think they call it 'nesting' and that's what women do.
