33 weeks 1 day Ooops…time has gotten away on me and I haven’t updated the diary for a while (again). Just wanted to say thankyou very much my little ‘bean, for the gorgeous diamond earrings that you got me for Christmas. It was also very clever of you to get your Daddy to write up a card for you too LOL. Now you keep kicking and growing like a crazy thing in there, and make sure that Mum’s BP doesn’t get any higher OK? Well….Christmas was lovely yesterday, even if I felt like I was the pudding! And it was so surreal today, when DH decided he wanted to get the pram out of its box, and assemble the change table and baby hammock. Kind of exciting really. He is in such a good mood, it is so lovely that he was able to organise to have three weeks off for a holiday now so we can enjoy some time together, both to do some things as a couple and get ready for our little girl. I finished up work on Christmas Eve, which was both a relief but also felt kind of wierd. It’s serious now, we’re really going to have a baby. I should find out for certain about my permanent appointment in February (talk about timing), but for now I just want to relax and try and make sure my BP doesn’t rise any further. I should explain…at last week’s OB appointment it was slightly elevated, I had put on 3kg in two weeks, so coupled with the good old ankle and hand swelling I have to go along to another appointment this week to make sure I am not developing preeclampsia. I’m hoping that it was just a combination of the stress of job interviews, work, commuting, lack of sleep and too much festive eating, and that it will be back under control now that the pressure is off and I can rest a bit more. Although I don’t feel like resting that much, I wake up a bit achy (goes with getting to the big stage I guess) and I do hate sitting around. But at least I don’t have to wake up to an alarm and I suddenly have four extra hours in the day now that I am not travelling for work. Anyway, on a different topic, DH and I had lunch with Lucy (Elle), her DH and their gorgeous little daughter Olivia last Wednesday as they were down from the NT for Christmas. It was so lovely to catch up, I can’t believe how much Olivia has grown since I last saw her and she is such a happy going little one- I want one like that! And Lucy was looking wonderful, I am so thrilled that all is going well with #2. It was great for the boys to meet too. Now if only we lived in the same city! Well that was an epic…time for me to sign off for now. Merry Christmas my darling little one, can’t wait to see you in 2005, not long to go now. We just won’t think about how you’ve got to get out right now, that’s a whole other diary entry.
