Well we finally will be going in to the Hospital to have Summers hearing test done on Sunday morning. About time. We couldn’t get it done whilst we were there, cuz they suck at organisation (given she was there for nearly a week!) and they had to book us an appointment. So it’s Sunday morning. Yawn.

We know she can hear. Obviously we don’t know HOW well she can hear. But she reacts to noises such as doors shutting too loudly and knives dropped accidentally on the floor and clattering against the tiles. So we are just getting it done to be on the safe side. Tho I am not looking forward to going back there. No matter who tells me or what they tell me, I am not going to just get over it. It was a horrible experience I went through (except the birth day was okay) but everything after that I wish to forget!

Anywhooooo…we have an inspection on Wednesday. I hate them. It’s even harder to get the house up to scratch like I used to, cuz I am only just settling into my new routine with Summer. So I am tired. Which means I have to try and get things done one at a time over a course of a few days instead of doing them all in one morning. I have to make thank you cards to send to everyone too….that’s hard when you just don’t have the *zing* for it at the mo.

So today I have just been focusing on getting the house straightened out and the Baby’s room organised, packing my hospital/baby bags and so on and so forth. It’s just past lunch time and I still have a long way to go….but there is light at the end of the tunnel. It helps me to keep busy, cuz then my mind is off what lies ahead. The baby is having the hiccups again right as I type. My back is aching. I just had a nice hot shower. Now I am waiting for the hubby to come home from work.

I am tired.

The breast pump came this morning and so did the SIDs Monitor. I am in the middle of washing the rest of the baby’s clothes and blankets and towels blah blah blah. Her room is going to look nice and fresh and bright. I just can’t wait until all of this is behind me and she is in my arms and we are home.

It’s Saturday night and I have 5 sleeps till I go in to be Induced.
Rick is looking forward to Thursday. Which of course makes me happy. And we are both hoping that he will be able to stay the night with me in the hospital, even if he has to sleep on the floor. He has been really supportive and positive the last week and it is making me feel confident about what lies ahead. Father in Law has lent me his portable d.v.d player and we are going to get some movies, so just in case I am in there for a long time, I will have something to keep me occupied.

Went shopping today and we picked up the Baby Movement Monitor by Tommee Tippee. But we are thinking of taking it back tomorrow and getting a different one. Also got a head support thingy for the capsule so that baby doesn’t have a lolling around little head when she is in the car. And last but not least we got some window shade thingys that will suffice for now as the car’s windows are not yet tinted.

Still have everything to get done. Tomorrow we have the garage to clean out and to organise to make it easier to get baby in and out of the car. Might pick up some picture hanging wire so we can get on with putting up the piccies in her room too. Getting my hair done on Monday morning and maybe on Tuesday I will have a session of Reflexology done. Whether it works or not I don’t know, but I am looking forward to being pampered for the hour
