Day 14

The past two weeks have been a blur....for both Kos and I. I'm working on my 'work - Mater - Home - Sleep' routine, while Kos gets to work on her 'sleep - visitors - sleep - Sam's visit - sleep' routine. Luckily I get to leave the Crows Nest Hilton!

Kos though, has been allowed to go on some short day trips to try and beat the monotony. Breakfast last Sunday was a breath of fresh air and reminded us of what life was like before thsis dilemma occurred. Tuesday night saw us back at Crows Nest for dinner with two of Kos' school friends. It is great to get her out of there! Tonight Kos spent some time at home. Yes under the guise of 'going up the road to dinner at Crows Nest, I brought her home to appraise my door painting skills and check that I was not living in a pig sty. It was nice to sit on the couch, watch TV and act like nothing had happened yet.

The situation is starting to get to us though. I can drive from home to the Mater along the Pacific Highway or River Road with my eyes closed, and sometimes in the evenings it seems that way (don't worry no micro-sleeps here people...we know that they can kill in seconds). I was saying to Kos, that although we are just lounging at the Mater, it is as though we can never truly relax, as I have to eventually drive home, and she can only relax when she is home - she needs a break from the now familiar four walls.

Kos went for a scan today and the baby is going well, but has not put on a hig amount of weight, although they do put this down to the fact that she has lost fluid and that the estimated weight of the baby is exactly that - an estimation. +/- 300 grams is a ball park figure. She (Kos that is, I don't know the sex of the baby and wouldn't give it way here!) certainly looks bigger. Those steroid injections she got in her arse definitely look like they have stimulated the baby's growth - it could also be that supper trolley. Although Kos' friend Mihiri looks forward to it more than Kos when she is visiting!

Voting - If you voted Late march for the arrival, well it is fast approaching and is almost on its way out. I'm thinking early April, maybe the 9th (great day to be born I reckon, eh Dushern?)
