Well, I am back from M.D.A.U. The CTG scan went well and baby is moving a lot in there and the heart beat is normal. Yay!
I did notice something different this time though, my contractions monitor was actually moving a teeny bit, it’s usually just a straight line for me. Maybe that means something.. hmmm.
The midwife gave me the option of waiting to see a doctor to get examined to see my progress, but she warned it’d be a really long wait, and she believed it’d probably be a waste of time anyway since she’d probably notice something was up otherwise. I thought about it for a while and decided to just go home and call them if I have any problems. Brentyn had to leave for work soon anyway, so it was better that way.
We talked a little about my SPD. She said it’s actually really common and while it’s annoying it should be expected. She told me if I can’t relieve it at all though and it doesn’t go away it *might* be something else, so I should keep an eye on it, which I will.
Mum’s coming over soon. Oh my goodness, I am so exhausted. I barely got any sleep last night. I was hoping to get a nap today but the MDAU took a while so now Mum should be here any minute. Not that I don’t like her around, I really do. It’s extremely reassuring (especially at this late stage) and it’s awesome having the company. I would just feel rude if she came over and I left her for dead so I could have a sleep. lol. It’s okay though.
Brentyn and I have been talking about what to do with the baby bonus. Nope, no plasma TV’s lol. We have all our baby gear waiting for us in two lay-bys at Target. They just need to be picked up. That’s about $600. Then we will get a drier (which will be especially handy since we’ll be using cloth nappies, and this area is really prone to thrips). We will also put money aside for a cot. I know we have one but it’s been told to us, down to the ground, that it doesn’t pass today’s SIDs safety laws. It was Brentyns cot, so 25 years old. And while there’s something insanely cute and awesome about using it… no new mattresses or sheet sets fit it’s dimensions anymore, and we’ve been warned by the midwives that it could seriously increase the risk of cot death :( Sad :(
We also need a new vacuum cleaner, and if we have the money, a lawn mower/whipper snipper. We’ll try to get a treadmill too, so that I can recover faster and get over my diabetes (and down to target weight) easier. That is pretty important to me, I really don’t want type 2 this young.
That should leave us with about $2000 to save for baby in an ING account, which we will take out when the baby is older and needs new clothes and toys etc.
Sounds great in theory, it’d be awesome if it went to plan!
