Thank you to everyone who
emailed me or linked to loobylu with best wishes and congratulations
for both my birthday and the small growing child
inside. You completely made my day.
Tuesday morning mum drove
me out to an appointment with my Obstetrician. I was booked
in for ten to nine and at ten to ten the doctor finally rocked
up... looking grumpy and hassled. I was feeling grumpy and
hassled too but then he let me hear the fetal heart beat and
although the small little thing kept wriggling away out of
range I could catch little glimpses of it and it was pretty
amazing. Chuff chuff chuff chuff etc. It sounded much like
Jason's little
fetus's heartbeat
but not quite so loud.
Tomorrow we are headed up
to my grandparent's house in the country for the Easter break.
Easter last year was the last time I saw my Grandma
Mary - she died in a car accident the weekend after. Easter
comes early this year so it's not quite a whole year ago but
it still makes me wonder at how time zooms by so quickly,
and hurts still feel fresh.
While flicking back to note
the dates I also noticed that I have been writing three
pages of guff every morning before I get out of bed now
for an entire year. I started to read back over some of these
pages this morning from early January before I knew I was
pregnant and while I still thought things would be about my
work first and foremost this year. I don't think I got a chance
to mention here that I am not able to do that art course
I was hanging to do. I rang them the day before enrollment
to ask them about deferring in second semester due to being
about to pop, and also the possibility of deferring first
semester if I was encountering morning sickness issues or
whatever (which fortunately I have avoided thus far) and the
kind lady who I have a run in with before told me that they
had no deferment policy as such, and all I could do was reapply
again for next year. So that's that. No deferment policy seems
a little like being stuck in the dark ages, but I guess I
have other things to worry about this year and maybe taking
it up again next year might be a nice way to escape for one
day a week. We'll see. So much can change in a year as we
have seen. Perhaps Ms
Pea will be ready to study with me by then...
No pic today... I wanted to
get this up before my cable connection drops out again...
