Nessun Dorma

Nessun Dorma

The only 2 words that take away my pain, well momentarily, but that is still such a huge relief.

I've been struggling the last few days, really struggling (You might have guessed that from my last post!?)

I've recently found out that 2 family members are due right near my EDD with Baby Woggie, I had lost count of where I should have been up to in my pregnancy, but with news of other family members you kind of start thinking about it. Well I did, so (stupidly) I counted how many weeks I should have been and since then I've been so so down about it. And reading or talking to people with babies about how terrible the lack of sleep is and other common baby problems just has really got me down.

I know they are well within their rights to complain, I do, I just wish they could realise that honestly there are worse things than a crying baby at 2am. I know I'm equally guilty of this, I'm sure there are people who read my blog that think "Sheesh, only 2 miscarriages and 19 months of TTC, that is nothing" and I'm aware of that, in terms of infertility, I don't have it that bad.


Anyway, back to Nessun Dorma...

Last night we went to the Opera to see Turandot, I know NOTHING about Opera, I'm not an Opera person at all, by any stretch of the imagination. However, our wedding song 'Nessun Dorma' comes from Turandot(and how that came to be our wedding song, really is a long story). So we went to see Turandot. I was in a foul mood and didnt want to go, I tried to curl my hair and look pretty in the hope of feeling better. One side curled the other stayed flat, so then I had to straighten it all. Because of this I had no time to put on any make up, so I looked normal, and not beautiful. When we got to the theater my high heel got caught in the lift door and broke and so I was feeling really peeved and really couldn't be arsed concentrating on a bunch of people singing in a language which I don't understand!

So Act I and Act II come and go, and then act 3 comes along and the character Calaf comes out and starts singing Nessun Dorma (made famous by Pavarotti) and as soon as the words "Nessun Dorma" were sung by the chorus before Calaf got into it, a wave of calm came over me, Mr Woggie gave my hand a little squeeze and I felt good, just for a few minutes, I felt okay.

So here it is for your (or my) enjoyment!
