NEWS FLASH: Pregnant Woman Stresses Over Nothing! No Way!

Went into Labour and Delivery today to get Shlomo monitored. Since he is SO active, I am used to constantly feeling him - I swear he does not sleep! I hadn't felt movement the whole day and I started freaking out a little. I've always felt guilty that he hasn't had the best start to life. In Indonesia it was hard to eat right and I got food poisoning twice and had to go on a drip once as I was so dehydrated. I always took my prenatal vitamins religiously so hopefully that counts for something!

ANYWAY, of course as soon as Alan came home to get me and we were on the way to the hospital, who should decide that it was time to tell Mum and Dad that they were just being a lazy little bugger for the day and starting packing the punches like usual! So of course we were in L&D getting monitored and even though he was not as 'active' as normal, he still managed to let the midwife know he was alive and well. So of course I felt like the biggest moron going in there when nothing was wrong, but as they told us, they'd rather 1000 anxious pregnant women to come in and send the 999 home that nothing is wrong with and be able to help the 1 woman that is having problems.

So, the little cricket star continues to practise his batting inside is womb ...

Baby Copeland Is Spoilt Already!

Well Baby Copeland certainly is getting spoiled! Grandma purchased a bassinnette for him today and it is blue and white and is very adorable. I got him an Ernie and a Bert toy from Sesame Street as I had them when I was younger and loved them to bits. I probably purchased them more for me actually now that I really think about it!

Also had a short Antenatal Appointment in the Midwife Clinic today to test my urine etc because I've been having some kidney pain with all the extra filtration now for two of us. No problems there!Beginning to become a little "Baby Obsessed" and think I need something else to start to fill my time in before Shlomo comes other than surfing the net reading article after article on breastfeeding and childbirth. It's getting me more stressed than relaxed I think!

30 Weeks! Whaaat?!?!

I completely have NO idea how I am suddenly 30 weeks already! When did this happen?

I am now registered at the hospital and in the process of having all the fun things done like, Gestational Diabetes tests done etc to make sure all is ok. Baby Copeland has started to kick the absolute buggery out of me and have decided he is grounded when he comes out for kicking Mummy so much!

This week, we finally purchased a cot and a change table. We haven't put it together yet as the Baby Room is full of cardboard boxes from the move. I think we will put it together in a couple of weeks or so. This weekend, we are going down the coast to have a Surprise 70th Birthday Party for Grandma and after that, we can get stuck into making preparations for the little man.

Grandma is of course going crazy with excitement about finally being a Great Grandma. She has purchased a heap of baby clothes already and is already asking about what type of car seat is best etc to get installed in her car.
