11 week mark!

So, on Monday it was the 11 week mark. On Tuesday we had a doctors appointment. Not much to report from that. They took my blood pressure and that was all good – in fact that’s all they did!
We spoke a little about the 12 week scan and they also gave me the forms for the 20 week anatomy scan – which we also booked in for. Before you ask – yes, we are going to find out what the sex is. Its something that we have spoken about and we both agree with.

This week I have tried to get some confirmation from my doctor and also from health and welfare at work with regards to shooting. I have a requalification coming up in January which I would like to do, but also want to confirm that it wont harm the growing bean in any way – ie lead exposure and the amount of noise a firearm emits. To date, I have only had people dance around the subject.

Oh, we bought our first purchase for the baby… yes I know, early days yet, but it was too good to pass up. One of our friends here won a baby competition and the prize was a you beaut pram. She has been trying to sell it here for a few weeks now and I have been stalking her! ha! So, on Monday we went round and ended up buying it from her. Quite a flash one and should do us well for a long time – it is a Phil and Ted’s Promenade. Very reliable brand. Apparently it will be subject to “pram envy” so I have been told. Im sure I will find out in due course all the mother talk…

12 week scan next week which is very exciting. Cant wait to see what is growing inside – its arms and legs – it still seems such a strange phenomenon to me. To think I will be ‘baking’ something for nine months only to have our own baby at the end. Wow.

One of the ladies in Kununurra had her baby last night – well, possibly a small child may be the better reference as it was 9.4 pounds…. eek. Hope Nathans big head doesn’t get passed on…. sheesh…. ;)

Hopefully next week we can update with a photo from the scan!
