The little boy has decided it’s safe to turn around and face the exit so my belly is starting to move down again! That also means the pressure on my pelvis is back too, along with frequent visits to the bathroom for – despite what it feels like – not much at all.
But what’s [...]

Birth date betting circle
Posted in birth, hospital, mothers, pregnancy on June 21, 2007 | 1 Comment »
I’ve only a few days left at work until my 12 months maternity leave begins. To celebrate the occassion my boss has instigated a baby draw. Entrants pay $2 and guess the date, time and weight of the baby … winner takes all.
Considering bub is still lying sideways (and despite my efforts to pre-stretch all [...]
I’m generally pretty good with coping with tough situations like seeing a loved one in the ICU but the last two days have been quite hard. I don’t know if it’s the added dimension of being nearly 35 weeks pregnant and the hormones that go with that or if it’s that fact that this time [...]
What do you call 5 bypasses?

The surgeon just called and the op is over. He said all went well and he performed 5 bypasses – what’s that, a quintet or something?

When I last went to see the midwife for a check up a couple of weeks ago word was that the little man was 4/5 engaged. In other words he was head down ready to slide down the birth canal like a slippery dip. I thought he was going to come early for sure. And [...]
Choosing the perfect stroller

Here we are faced by our first big question of parenthood … should we get a three-wheeler or four-wheeler stroller?
We went to a three-year-old birthday party in Centennial Park yesterday and I tell you it’s better for a bit of stroller spotting than a visit to Babyco.
It’s just a guess but I’d say the split [...]

I’m 32 weeks now. When you’re pregnant, everything is measured in weeks. I’ve got five weeks left till I start 52 weeks of [...]
