I’m so tired. Last night was probably the worst nights sleep I’ve had since Jye was a newborn. I had trouble actually getting to sleep, between Jye waking and crying and needing to go to the toilet I didn’t get much at all.
Today I was meant to be driving to the city to see my midwife, but on a whim yesterday I decided to leave then. Don’t ask me why I felt the need to go. It wasn’t until I got to my in laws house and found a letter that arrived from the hospital telling me that I had an appointment this morning that I was grateful for whatever it was that made me leave.
I bundled Jye up in the car this morning and it took me 90 minutes to get to the hospital and then finding parking…ugh! What a nightmare. I actually got seen in record time though – I was out an hour and 10 minutes after my appointment time – I’ve had to wait 2 hours before. This appointment went better than the appointment at the last hospital, but they still went on at me about my declining the Glucose Test. Apparently it’s not normal to birth big babies without having gestational diabetes. Anyway, it was a whole lot of waiting around for about 10 minutes with the OB.
Oh, and some lovely person(not) slipped Jye some chocolate in the waiting room! I grabbed him because my name got called to find him with two squares of chocolate in his mouth. I can bet it was the elderly woman with a pregnant woman who was sitting nearby and kept smiling and talking to him. Sheesh, was it too hard to ask me if it was ok? And by the smell of it, it was rum and raisin flavoured 
He made a huge mess in the OB office.
My midwife came to visit in the afternoon, I love meeting with her. it’s just so much more relaxing and my blood pressure came down significantly in the few hours since I was at the hospital. Baby girl is measuring bang on for 32 weeks, she is also starting to engage – 3/5ths above the brim, let’s just hope she doesn’t go too far down too soon. Jye was at plus 1 station for weeks and weeks and it was painful! Good to know she knows where she needs to be to make her exit though

I went to visit my mum this afternoon, she’s gearing up to make the move back to Thailand. We’re getting her fridge and we’re going to buy her lounge suite and a double bed from her. Then she hands me her sewing machine! Hurrah!! I’ve been wanting one for a while and now I’ve been looking at all these gorgeous creations on other peoples blogs – well now I can get creative too!
