Week is almost over.

So another week is almost over and another new one about to begin.  What a week!!

This week I have had to rehome the family dog of 8yrs. We may live in a rural area but we have poor fencing and the dog continues to get out. So he has to be locked up 24/7 which to me seems rather cruel and unfair, so he is going to a new home.

On monday was the first antenatal appointment. Lucy and Kylie are my 2 midwives. Lovely thing about going to a country hospital for these visits, is that I will see the same 2 midwives the entire pregnancy, when usually you see who ever is on and then some one random delivers you. It was a nice appointment, surprisingly she did not try to force breastfeeding on me. Yuk! Why would you when there is formula. Makes no sense to me. My little one had formula and she is just fine so I don't get the fuss. Was able to talk about the bad experience from last time and she was very caring and shocked by all that happened.

I have now got a referral for the 20 weeks scan which will be more in depth then the 12 week scan was, it will also be able to tell me the sex of the fetus. Everyone thinks they know what it is.. I guess we will have to wait and see.

The news of my grandmother being on her last days came as some comfort. She has severe diamentia and it is truely no way for any person to live. She has been told that her body is finally failing meaing she will be out of this hell she is in. Although, I am devestated at the thought of loosing my favourite grandma and the one that I have always been closest too, I am relieved that her suffering will end. If she was an animal she would have been put to sleep humainly some time ago. For some reason we hold the quality of life for an animal higher then we do human quality of life.  It is really very very upsetting and something that with an ageing population they are going to have to reassess at some point.

On a positive note, 2 friends have given birth this week. Both of them having boys.  Welcome to the world John michael and Kobe.
