Doctor’s appointments exhaust me. I don’t know why that is, the appointment itself is simple and such and shouldn’t leave me unable to stay awake. Maybe I just don’t sleep well when anticipating something? I don’t know.

Yesterday I baked brownies AND anzac biscuits (can’t call them cookies, it just feels weird to me) simultaneously. Delicious goodness. All but 3 cookies are gone now, Lisa took them away. But I baked the brownies for her and the cookies for Matt, so I was expecting them to go away.

Yesterday afternevening, Lisa and Jen (Lisa’s friend, our neighbour) came over and the 4 of us went to a burger place just down the road. I had a "Tweety Bird" which was a chicken breast on a bun with lettuce and tomato. Pretty good, kinda tiny, not anything spectacular. The fries were good, but fries are always good. And I had a milkshake, which was so not a milkshake. It was just drinkable icecream. I wanted a proper MILKshake, so I was disappointed with the beverage. We won’t be rushing back there any time soon, food that expensive that isn’t that spectacular isn’t worthy of loads of visits. (All the ingredients were high quality, which is why stuff was expensive).

After eats, we came home and relaxed. Jen went home so Jake, Lisa and I spent all evening sitting on the couch chatting about baby related stuff. It was so lovely. Sleepovers are fun!

Doctor’s appointment went relatively smoothly. The nurse was taking my blood pressure and told me I had to have another pap smear, and then took (what felt like) a while to say "nothing is wrong, we just didn’t get enough cells last time." WHILE I’m having my blood pressure taken. I wonder if it shot up? I made the mistake of telling Lisa that last time the midwife had nicked my cervix and that’s probably why she stopped and didn’t get enough cells. (I forgot to write about that last month. That was loads of fun, leaving the hospital with a pregnant belly and a pad. Felt so contradicty)

Thankfully once the midwife (Paula this time, last time it was Deborah) came in she asked if I had ever had an abnormal result from a pap and when I said no she said she wasn’t going to bother doing one today. So that was yay. Although I still had to sit there pantsless for the whole appointment. Fun.

We heard the heartbeat, I got lectured about my diet (she asked what I had eaten the last 24 hours, so I told her. Because I had fries with dinner AND some doritos (like 5, tiny bag) before bed I got a huge lectures about the badness of carbs), got the ultrasound appointment set up for when Mum is here, and bam, we were done.

The day after our 5th wedding anniversary, we get to see the baby again, looking like a proper human baby, and we’ll finally get an answer to "girl or boy"!

I need a nap so badly. I feel naughty because after my food-lecture, I came home and had a (homemade, oat-laden) cookie, finished off the (mini) bag of doritos, and a banana. It’s a kind of rounded meal, maybe…
