work? what's that? i have been a TERRIBLE employee ever since i found out that i was pregnant... i try to concentrate and be productive, but i just get distracted so easily...
i'm feeling so much better about the whole pregnancy now that i've had the scan and have seen that everything is normal... my morning sickness hasn't returned and i'm enjoying feeling good!
i went to visit a friend in hospital last night (Royal Women's Hospital) who had a baby on sunday. OMG - i'm SO glad i have private health insurance now!! there were 3 women in her room, they have no privacy, they all have to go and line up in the hallway for their turn to use the communal toilet (which is shared by multiple rooms), and the ward is REALLY understaffed.. she had her baby early on Sunday morning, and the baby STILL hasn't been bathed!! the nursing staff have been too busy, and my friend is really immobile (she had an emergency C-section, and the wound is infected so she feels really rotten) so can't do it herself...
on a positive note, her baby is absolutley GORGEOUS!! i had forgotten how beautiful newborns are! she was so soft and snuggly!! i can't wait to meet mine now!! although it's still 7 months away - doh!!
Apparently in about 7 months I will be a qualified midwife - yikes!

Hi Girls!
It is so good to see everyone is doing so well and cooking their little bundles nicely! hehehehe
ohhh the time does fly doesn't it! I can't believe I am over half way already and only 19 weeks away from no 3......
Yep - it is definately unanimous - Cabrini is ace! Very hotel like and I must admit not even any other Private hospital I have seen lives up to the same standard especially the food! YUM
Gigi - thanks for the congrats hun - I am checking everyday and will let you know when the webpage is up and running!
9 weeks away! that is so close now! you are getting down to the pointy end of business! heheheheheh
Nox - good job on the cuppa and the paper, always a lovely way to start the day!
Well I have appt with FDC ladies on MOnday to have the boys in for either 1 or 2 days a week, so that will be less days I have to worry about getting on call childcare for when I have a delivery to go to!
Had better go, Cooper has just woken and wants to get up!
Hey there Relle -- was wanting to ask about the site ... how exciting that will be!
Gigi -- 9 weeks! That's so inconceivable! How wonderful!
Was talking with a friend the other day -- mother of 2 gorgeous boys -- and she was saying that she was fondly remembering how easy life was with just 1!!! Made me think because here I am thinking life will be chaos with 1!!! LOL That's why I decided to indulge while I could! (That and so many procrastination reasons, really)
Wonder Relle, if you will fondly remember life being so easy with just 2??!!! haha
Ella - you are allowed to slacken off a bit, thats a pregnant womans perogative LOL!!! I agree with the you and the other girls, the public hospital system is terrible. Some of them boot you out after 48 hours and they wonder why so many women can't breastfeed, its because they are forced out before they are shown properly. Angliss is the same, 4 to a room and its so noisy! Baby always in the room with you as nursery usually isn't staffed. With Marley, I had her in the nursery every night and they bought her to me for a feed. They are much more relaxed with second babies and let you do what you want. First time they were more keen to have Chelsea in the room with me to experience what it was like to tend to her. We are all lucky that we can enjoy the comforts and food of a private hospital. Congratulations to your friend, I hope she starts to feel better soon.
Gigi - the next 9 weeks will fly by, they always do. Take time to relax and enjoy it.
Nox - it is stil hot! This muggy weather is awful. Enjoy your cuppa and paper reading. I did mine this morning while Marley was asleep and Chelsea is at creche/kinder. Life with one baby is beautiful, you will love it.
Relle - I can't believe you are halfway already. It seems like only a few weeks ago you were announcing your pregnancy. You have packed so much into those weeks with study and renovating. Great idea with the childcare, hopefully they will make things a bit easier for you.
