End of Week 7

Tomorrow marks the start of Week 8 (baby 6 weeks old) of my pregnancy. So far, things have been going really well. I've not been sick or nauseous one day, just more tired than usual. And eating a LOT more than usual.

Yesterday I bought a scales and was surprised to learn that I've only put on about half a kilo (~1lb). With what I've been eating, it should be about 5 kilos (~11lbs)!

We're doing a tour of St John of God maternity ward (in Subiaco) later today. We did a tour of Mercy Hospital (in Mt. Lawley) maternity ward last Saturday. Both are private hospitals and I could've been happy going with Mercy Hospital but I like to make decisions with all the information. I am looking forward to getting today's visit finished so we can decide which hospital we want to go with and then get in with an obstetrician, which, apparently can be somewhat difficult.

It feels a bit weird keeping this from friends and family...and is a total pain in the bum with repeatedly having to explain to friends and co-workers why I'm not drinking but we've decided to stick to it with keeping the news to ourselves until Week 12 or so.
