First Midwife Appointment!

My midwife crisis is over - I finally found one! She is really lovely and I had my first appointment today. We didn't 'do' anything, just go over things and book in for an ultrasound on Thursday. Dan is coming with me and the baby will look all fully formed, just extra mini! (the size of a lime by that time!)

I have another midwife appointment just before we go to the US, then every month until 30 weeks, then every two weeks until 36 weeks, then every week until our baby is born.

Jan (our midwife) says she recommends the new Auckland Hospital fancy maternity suites over Birthcare (the place I was originally thinking of), so I think we'll go with the hospital.

In other developments, I now have interesting new back muscles! These have managed to form, not through any kind of exercise, but from my daily throwing up routine, where my back muscles help to lunge stomach acids from deep inside me to be vomited out. What a lovely story :)

More news after our scan!
