no stress today

I was waiting an hr again for the 1(wtf?) moniter in the clinic for my turn at the non stress test..... This surely only adds to my stress levels aargh.
Actually, it turned out there are more moniters up in LDR etc, but this morning was another rush of women with contractions so all the monitors (and places to put them) they had were being used up. Fair enough- I can understand being bumped for a women about to pop, but come on - why only keep one monitor down in the clinic part??

(If you haven't guessed, my clinic is starting to piss me off. Lots of little things. Am already regretting my decision to choose this place, but of course nothing I can do now. And I remember being shitted off with the hosp. I gave birth to K at in the lead up for various reasons, but of course after the birth, I was all love-love for the hosp, as they nurses esp. who take care of you after birth were just so lovely and helpful. Am hoping this clinic can redeem itself in the same way. Although I am tempted to write a report in benesse womens' park about some of the things I haven't been so impressed with, lol)

So I finally got hooked up - sat in a massage chair in the nurses lounge, no less, as they seriously had no where else for me, so it was nice that they went to the trouble to set the machine up for me I guess - at about 9:40, and was on for 20-odd mins. Nurse hooking me up commented "gee, your baby is down low, isn't it" as she put the monitor clips basically on my v-doobies, lol. The monitor clips were in a dfferent place yesterday - and I have to say that since yesterday afternoon, I have felt "lighter" and more mobile all of a sudden - yikes!

So pretty much I am the same - hardened tummy 99% of the time on the machine, but this time TJ-baby is strong and doesn't react to the stress, so am told all is ok, and make an apt for next Tues, when I am officially 37w.

Feeling a bit better and a bit less stressed myself with the results from today too.

BRIEF stop at shop to buy bread for lunch (after 11am as we leave docs) and some futon covers for my parent's make-shift bedroom, collect money from bank and go directly to jail, uh, I mean back home to skype mum to say I am ok, then into bed with K for a marathon nap of about 3hours!!! I am still half asleep. Lucky have enough leftovers for side dishes to go with our pork chops for dinner, but haven't put rice on as J has been coming home a bit early, and he gets pooey if the rice hasn't been sitting for long enough before cooking it, so figure he can have microwave rice for dinner tonight ;-)

Finally tomorrow we have a day at home to hopefully catch up a bit (nothing over the top) with some cleaning and organising, with lots of breaks in between. Would be great if I had a go-go-gadget arm so I could do dust/vacuum/cook all without having to get my lard arse off the sofa haha.
