Today starts as the last week has, obs and then breakfast. Mum comes in to visit as soon as the ward opens, 8am. Now we have a collection of things to do, UNO, poker, Canasta and Eucha. Cards are easy to pack away if need be. mum has also started bringing in outside food, the breakfast is not sufficient enough to hold me over until lunch comes and lunch is not sufficient enough to hold me over until dinner comes.

Today my team of doctors are happy with things appearing somewhat settled. I am actually given permission to go down into the town of Subiaco to do some shopping! OMG I dont think I could have left that room quick enough! We were given a time to be back by for Ob's.

Mum and I were a bit naughty though, instead of going into Subiaco we actually went out to Carousel, which for those in Perth know that thats not a little drive from Subiaco. LOL. While we were there I bought some more clothes and even bought a few tiny little things for bubs.

We were back by the designated time and everyone was happy.

After I had my Ob's done we went up to the ward lounge to play some cards. During the game of cards I once again started to feel more regular contractions, bugger, must have been all that walking around! This time instead of going to the labour ward I was shipped of to MFAU (Maternal fetal Assessment Unit) There we stayed for around 2 hours and they were happy that things were going slowly and I was sent back to the ward.... just in time for dinner!
