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!!
