I'm finally casual!!

Yeah!! and they have already called me to do extra shifts this week, will hopefully still end up with 30 hours at this rate. I am very glad now to have less responsibility and be paid more for that privilage! That may sound silly, but I could do with some time to do only what I am told, its much more relaxing and less stressful! I even have today off work, which is fantastic after the week of hell that was last week being understaffed, training 3 new staff members when we are feeding over a hundred for breakfast, luncha nd dinner, not including happy hours, morning teas and two huge formal functions and a invitee only luncheon.... no wonder I fell asleep at my nana's house yesterday! I still managed to get three phone calls from work yesterday on my day off about exhausted staff and covering shifts, lots of fun, but its nice to be needed!

Well I can't believe I'm almost 4 months along already! I don't know if I told you before but I no longer fit into my work pants that I tried so hard to lose weight and fit into properly, which I did fit into three months ago... Argggghhh. Have started wearing maternity pants to work, but I only have one pair, so its a pain having to wash them constantly and then they keep falling down because I'm not big enough to wear them properly. So yes, I have officially popped, because my very loose jeans from three months ago are getting tighter again, I can only just now take them off with out undoing them, god it was so exciting when I could do that for the first time!

I am off to the doctor this afternoon to get my referall for my obygyn, living in a border town where I live in Victoria, my doctor is in new south wales (where I used to live before I got married) but they only have a maternity ward in wodonga, and if you go to a nsw doctor you need to be reffered to a victorian doctor, of which there are only 4 obygyn for a population of over 100,000, granted not all of them are pregnant, but it takes 3 weeks to get an appointment! and becasue I need to see her when I'm about 18 - 19 weeks, I need to get my butt into gear and get organised. Thats also when I will have my next ultrasound, and hopefully will find out whether its a boy or a girl!

Jules is going well, still has a cold which she has had for the last month, but hey, kids are like that. She is not too impressed at the moment with the idea of having a little brother or sister becasue Peter told her that the new baby would take her toys off her and take her dolly. Real smart I know, don't you just want to.... so hopefully she will come around by the time the baby is actually born.

I'm going to go and start weeding my vegetable garden today so I can start planting my summer vegies soon, so will talk later,
