Hello all! It's the other half of Chenda reporting tonight, althought I'm not sure I constitute just a half anymore. I feel I represent two thirds of our little family for the time being! :-)
If you remember from last week, Chad had mentioned I was battling a sinus infection. Unfortunately when I woke up on Wednesday it had moved into my chest as well, and I was all around miserable. I sadly had to cancel for Wednesday night, but I know it was the right decision. I was able to sing the last performance on Saturday, which was difficult, but I'm glad I was able to, since our friends Susanne and Stephan were in the audience!
The curtain call after the show. Not the most flattering costume for a pregnant lady, but what can you do!
With Susanne at dinner after the show. She has also performed the role of Konstanze, but in a rather different fashion! She is part of a marionette theater group (along with her brother Andreas) that performs operas. Chad and I are lucky enough to have seen some, and we plan on going to their newest show in February!
On Sunday we came home to Frankfurt and we are soo happy to be here! Chad previously mentioned we'd be here for almost 2 months (more like a little less than 7 weeks, but who's counting!) and during that time we'll be moving into our new place! We'll be sad to leave this apartment, which is, after 5 years, the longest amount of time we've spent somewhere other than our childhood homes, but it'll be great to have the extra space.
We went to see our doctor today for a check up on how things are proceeding with the little one, and I'm happy to say that everything looks great! I also got a very important document. We don't have an equivalent to it in the US, which the German doctors find quite baffling. It's called the "Mutterpass" which translates to - you guessed it - Mother Pass. I like to think of it as a passport to the land of motherhood, but really it's just a little booklet in which all my pertinent medical info having to do with the baby is stored. Don't leave home without it! Literally. I'm always supposed to have it on hand.
Rehearsals for my next show in Frankfurt start tomorrow. I'm looking forward to it, since the opera is Lucia di Lammermoor (one of my favorites!) but I'm going to take it pretty easy, since I'm still getting over this pesky virus! Chad has miraculously stayed healthy, so I hope to report the same next week! Until then, hope you're all having a great autumn!
