Week 30 (or so i think)

This number of weeks thing is driving me crazy. The doc wrote 'Wk 29+' on my card. The scan says 'Wk 30', 'Wk 31' and 'Wk 32'. Another chart says 'Wk 31'. Arggghhh! So which week am I in? I'm totally confused! So based on the scan today, I am expected to be due anytime from 10 - 28 October. Maybe I should induce him on 9 October. Heh.

So i've had some really painful jabs from the sausage boy the last 2 weeks. He made me cry. Today we found out that all his limbs were punching me on 1 spot. I think he is going to be a Muay Thai champion - no doubts about it.

I am very pleased I only put on 1.2kg since my last visit. Phew!! That means I put on 8.7kg so far and 4 more kg to go till term looks pretty manageable. Did i eat less McWing? Maybe just 1 or 2 less. But I haven't been as hungry these 2 weeks then 3 weeks ago. No worries, baby is growing well - 1.688kg.



Finances has been running low... here is some stuff that we bought:
Avent Steam Sterillizer $136
Baby cot $254
Baby wipes approx. $50
Swaddling cloth & bathing towels approx. $40
Creams, shampoo, detergent approx. $80
Bottles & teats approx. $30
Seat cushion $37
Breast Pads approx. $50
Niplette $56

We saw a Combi RiccoW pram that we liked alot - $530 - we have not decided to purchase it yet. Next month, we have to pay $1,200 for the gynae to deliver the baby. There are more things I need to get - extra sheets for the cot, washing detergent, nursing wear and nursing bras... this baby business is costly!

Anyway, the PM just announced 4 months of maternity leave and more incentive for 1st time parents e.g. cash and childcare leave. I pray I am eligible for it, I need the money!!
