We have a house guest

My Mum came down last Friday night since I was feeling very, very ill and we were hoping that it was the start of early labour – no such luck!!!! So, now she’s here I can have this baby…. (Did you hear me, Squirt?!  GET A MOVE ON PLEASE!!!!) In the meantime, Owen is “sucking [...]

Hospital Visit #9

Yep, I’m still here. Still visiting the antenatal clinic. Still waiting, although not very patiently. All is good though, and again, as usual I haven’t got anything to report. Let’s hope that I don’t make the appointment I’m booked in for next Wednesday!

Hospital Visit #8

Again, nothing to report (yay!) and they don’t want to see me for ANOTHER TWO WEEKS. That will be at week 38. I wanted the Doctor to tell me to have my hospital bag packed and ready by the door because this baby is not long away, but nope.  Nothing to that effect at all. [...]

What! Week 35 already? Better go and eat some more m&ms…

Don’t know whether this is a good thing or a bad thing, but even though the bump is definitely getting bigger, I haven’t put any weight on in the last 3 weeks.  I’m going to take it as a good thing :o)

Hospital Visit #7

Again, another uneventful visit to the Midwives and Doctor.  I’ve got to go back in two weeks’ time, and that will be at 36 weeks.  Not too long to go now, thank goodness!  Remembered to ask what my blood type was this visit – I’m O positive if you’re interested (I’m not really, but figured [...]

The bump and the hair

Owen really wanted me to take a picture of his hair for some reason.  I’ll say three year old logic plays some part in this interesting request from the Boy…  So we decided to include the baby bump as well.  His hair seems to be at the forefront of his thoughts at the moment.  We [...]

Hospital Visit #6

Another relatively quick visit to the hospital today.  Everything is all good.   Blood pressure is consistently 90/60 and Marc is jealous.  His jealously is entirely wasted on me though, I don’t even know what my blood pressure should be normally, let alone what a pregnant BP should be!  Haven’t got to go back now for [...]

Shoulda Coulda… Did!

After thinking about and then changing my mind several times over the last few weeks, I’ve finally booked flights back to Brisbane for Owen and me.  We are going to come go up for a week, mainly to see my little sister, who is pregnant also!  She’s due in February and if I don’t fly [...]

A couple of wants and a tick off the never started to-do list

We had a really productive day today.  Among other things, today the guest room transformed into the baby’s room, and the Black Hole Room (formerly the designated baby room) became the guest room.  The cot has been assembled, and I’m all happy now :o)  At least we look as though we are making a dent [...]

What I see

A bump that is terribly active all night long. A bump that keeps giving me heartburn, no matter how I sit, stand or lie down. A bump that is noisy, making lots of gurgling and swooshy type sounds down there. A bump that I sometimes forget about until I want to squeeze through a smallish [...]
