Sunday we got up at 6.30am to get ready to go to Tuscany for Sofia’s baptizam, it was hard dragging myself out of bed but we didnt it. I slept in the car most of the 2 hour journey especially as we got closer to the place as there are lots of bends in the road and alot of times i start to feel sick as they are quite constant. It was a really lovely day, hot and sunny and the villages were all quiet with not many people about. When we got there everyone was getting ready and Sofia’s was in a cute white dress with little silver shoes and smiling away. The grandparents are the people we usually stay with when we go stay in tuscany. We saw there new puppy who is adorable and wanted to play all the time, she kept licking me wanting her belly rubbed and then she nipped my toes and fingers for attention.
Once everyone was ready we went down to the little church in the village where the baptizam was part of the normal sunday service. It was really nice there a beautiful simple church with a few wooden benches, candles, the service was really nice and all in italian. Once everything was done we all headed outside and we gave them some money for Sofia.
It was pretty hot by then so we all headed back to the house so we could go to the restaraunt where we would have the special lunch. Alex wanted to leave at 4pm so we would avoid any traffic coming back into rome so i agreed. The lunch was really nice we started with melon, procuitto, tuna mixed with onion and breadcrumbs, then after that it was a crepe with spinach and white sauce, then came a dish of pasta with ragu. Next was pork meat with potato’s, dishes of more pork and mixed vegtables and finally some fruit. They bought out a cake at the end with Sofia’s name on and we all had some of that to. She had been alseep all the way through in her buggy. But she woke up at desert time and was given some presents by people, baby clothes etc. I played with her a little bit and got her smiling away, she seemed very curious about all the people that were around her and about the whole day in general. So finally 4pm came and we headed back to Rome luckily with no traffic on the road and so i slept alot again on the way back.
Alex said it would be nice to have our child baptized in that little church as he enjoyed it so much and he was really emotional about it all. So we have talked about having children again and he has agreed to have one next year begining of the summer we can try. So hes finally decided he does want them and feels a bit more comfortable about it i think now, especially as friends around as are having babies or might be trying next year as well.
So today i went to the gym, i have 4 days this week before they close on friday until the 24th August so i have to make the most of it. I got out and find myself in a strange mood and i dont know why….i know im losing weight slowly but i want to see more of a result but thats not the whole reason for my mood. I really dont know why else, i dot feel like doing anything, usually i will watch a new episode of true blood but i havent for the last 2 weeks. I have kind of lost interest in things but i know eventually i will go back to them but for now i just dont want to.
