Damn technology

Geez, computers hate me. Since Peter moved the reformated the computer, it only wants to work like every 5th day or something. We push start and it just won't, so today is a good day and I finally get to update.

Before I go over the last week, let me just say Good luck and lots of love to Kate who is today in labour with her second child. She is having a home birth and has managed to let us all know that the action has started. Was going to leave you a comment Kate but you have 66 already so thought you might never see it. Love ya heaps.

Speaking of today, today is a weird day. You see both Kate and myself were due today before I had my miscarriage in November. Since then I had been dreading today, but I think being 18 weeks pregnant today has helped. I now know that that baby just wasn't meant to be and am eagerly looking forward to meeting the little one I have with me now.

I finished up work on Thursday, and Paulene I did feel they way you said you did, but any extra money helps and I wasn't going to knock it back. She actually paid me an extra $50 more than she was supposed to, perhaps she was feeling guilty but I doubt it.

So starting yesterday I am in operation Clean. I am trying to get the house back the way it was before I started working 3 1/2 years ago. I did our bedroom and ensuite yesterday. Bethany's room today. Am starting on my sewing room and so forth. Once the house is back to good standards, then it is just a case of maintaining it weekly. I has actually tired me out for the last two days, but when I walk into the rooms I feel good.

I ended up doing 2 x 30 mins walks last week. This week I am aiming to improve that to 3 or 4. Went for one yesterday and was planning on going again today but the clouds carrying the rain that was forecast are starting to move in and I just hope it holds off.

Am pretty happy with my weight gain so far, I think. I have always told people that I only put on 10kg with Bethany but have found my old appointment card and discovered that it was 10kg from 16 weeks. So I don't actually know what I was at the beginning.

I am going for my next appointment on Friday. Am really looking forward to hearing the heartbeat again. Had some anxiety over the weekend. I just felt that maybe I should be feeling the baby stronger than I am as it is my second baby. The flutters are so light that I am still not sure if what I am feeling is the baby or wind or whatever. But I have read that if the baby is further back or the placenta is in the way, it can make it more difficult to feel the baby. I mean I saw it on the monitor a week and a half ago moving like mad and I couldn't feel a thing so it must be OK. It is just going to be reassuring to be checked over again.

On Friday I will also get my referal for my Anatomny scan. As I am already 18 weeks, I should be booked in within the next week or 2 to get it. It is so exciting to think that I am almost halfway there. I am going to make the appointment for a time that Bethany can come too as we have not let her come to any yet, just because of last time.

So it is all go at the moment. Am trying my hardest to also catch up on some serious scrapbooking. I have so much to do already and now with another bub on the way, and lots more future photos to come, I want to have as much done as possible.

Well that's enough for today. Hopefully the computer is over it's little huffy and will now let me use it properly.

See you all again soon.
