Overindulged...
Tonight we went to this Chinese Restaurant with Pauline, Ashley, Miranda & Emma, it is a really traditional Chinese Restaurant and the food was quite good, we had all never been there, even though its been open forever. Its one of those restaurants that never advertise and you don't really know if its still going or what. But it was good. We went to Cold Rocks afterwards for some icecream (mine was chocolate gelato, with snickers, mars bar and oreos) and I am waaaaaaaay full. I read that during the next 4 week the baby will double in size - the way i've been eating, i wouldn't be surprised if it tripled in size!!!! I'm such a pig. :( i know i kinda have an excuse, i mean, i AM pregnant, but shouldn't that be a reason to eat a lot more healthily and in moderation? i have no self control. especially as Easter just passed and i seriously indulged in chocolate. there are still quite a few left in the fridge too, they just need eating up.
today i went and visited a girl from our church, Emma who just had a little boy 3 weeks ago. He is so tiny and cute. it was great to go and help her, i was able to do some stuff around the house like folding up, vacuum, etc. I know how hard those first few weeks are! she is having feeding problems too, so it takes more of a toll on you. i can remember that time so well, yet it is a big blur in some ways too. a blur of extreme tiredness, confusion, pain with feeding, uncertainness amongst other things. but things are looking up for her and her baby and i hope they keep getting better. keeley went to grandmas (meema's as she calls her) today and they took her to the beach. she tripped over Dad somehow and landed on the bitumen, has a big egg and graze on the side of her head poor thing. :( she's a tough kid though. for not even 2 years old, she sure is amazing. her speech is getting to be so good, she catches onto things you say immediately, just repeats them. she says heaps of words now and puts some together. sooooo cute seeing them learn to talk. :)
so helping Emma today with her little baby boy, it just really hit me that I'm going to (God-willing) have one of those precious bundles in a few months......i really am looking forward to it. even the birth, i feel a lot more confident now. I am having a doula with me at the birth, as well as my hubby, and I think (hopefully) i should feel a lot more in control and able to handle things better. the doula is coming tomorrow actually for some antenatal appointments with Andrew & I. Andrew doesn't think a doula is really necessary for the birth, but he's letting me have one (good guy :) ) as he knows how much it means to me. i can't explain it but i just really desire that this birth experience is different to the last one, that I feel more in control and that I am able to let my body do what its been made to do and birth as naturally as possible. i am actually kinda looking forward to hopefully experiencing birth in a more positive empowered way.
i was just thinking today about my good friend in Canberra...i sent her a snail mail letter a week or 2 ago but haven't heard anything. i hope she got it. we haven't been in touch FOREVER. I miss her. we used to be penpals, but as life gets in the way, you gradually go on different paths and even though the friendship is still there, it is different. not in a bad way, but we don't keep in touch near enough. my fault mainly.
well i gotta get to bed. sweet zzzzzzzz's
