Dear Diary #2

Work is getting harder and harder....and that is after a week off! I must be deficient in something, so off to the lab I go. The lab lady and I are good friends now...can't imagine why. I've gotten pretty good at this whole needle thing...I only grimace a little and I always take something to eat with me. Maybe my goal of being able to give blood one day will come true after all!

After a disappointing week, I'm feeling much better. The doctor I was going to see in Darwin is fully booked so I can't have him and that was devastating to me in my precarious state. However, Eldon and I have agreed that we will still go to Darwin for a short holiday and some shopping just because we need it...Woohoo! Something to look forward to! I'll have another scan at the beginning of April and then see a specialist in Kununurra after that. Hopefully by then we'll know what's going on, whether I'm "normal" or not ( I'll probably never be normal again!!!).
If we do end up going to Darwin, I'll just have to be content with seeing whoever is available for me.

In other news, I've ordered another trial pack of nappies (diapers). I think I've finally decided which ones I'm getting and they are very cute!!! http://www.babybeehinds.com.au/ for anyone who wants to check them out. I've ordered natural and purple colours at the moment until we find out what we are having...then they have some really awesome pink ones if we have a girl. Eldon doesn't understand why I get so excited about cloth nappies! They are just so darn cute. (Ask me in 5 months time if I still think so).


Well, that's about it...not much going on....just waiting waiting and more waiting for our next scan. Hope you are all well!

Oh dear ... I feel for you and you still have a ways to go!! My advice is eat chocolate :-) Worked for me! Only downside is that your baby will like it too ... if I eat choc and Aaron sees me I have to share! Maddison watches very closely, but she's too little yet! (won't be long though and I guess I have to share with both). Hope you get to go to Darwin for a little R&R and Shopping! Thinking of you. Luv R

"Ever be normal again".... hum well, I 'm still waiting too! :) But life does get much better soon!

Uh.. well, no, things will never be the "normal" you know now again. But there are other sorts of "normal"! LOL!

I am sorry it's not so easy at present. It's tough doing this sort of stuff when family is far away... nobody like your Mum at times like this {hugs} I hope you find an equally wonderful doctor. Enjoy your shopping trip!

Hey - I'm cloth nappy evangelist so I TOTALLY understand your excitement. You should see my stash! Heh heh. I think I posted a pic on my blog once... somewhere.

Hey Sarah,
The nappies are so cute and you'll love them...at least the first go around anyway! I'm sorry about your Dr. I didn't have my Dr either when it came to the delivery...I think he was golfing??
Luv, Mom
