Selamat Datang & Welcome Let the Countdown Begin....


Hello World we only have around 3 weeks left until Choc and Amy become Choc and Amy plus 1..... It has been a very exciting 8 months sooo far not just for choc and I but for everyone in the Oppusunggu and Herbert households.... It hard to believe that 6 months ago choc and i were in darwin now here we are in Geelong new house new job for choc and only 3 weeks till our little boy arrives. Well its actually meant to be 5 weeks but because i have Type 2 diabetes they are going to induce me 2 weeks early...Here is hoping he comes naturally and not through the sunroof (sorry i love that saying he he)..Last week when choc and i went to the hospital for the appointment they decided to spring on us that they are going to bring him on 2 weeks early our main reaction was OMG we are soo not ready so last week i decided to finally start organising my bag and his bag for hospital...



It really is amazing for us anyway being first timers at this how much actually goes into bringing a child into this world for instance the hospital bag the list that i was shown i will show you some examples

for labour
  • birth plan
  • comfortable, old, t-shirt
  • warm socks - feet can get cold during labour
  • massage oil<--- Um Why
  • face cloth / face spray
  • camera and/or video camera - with spare film & batteries/charger!
  • extra clothes for partner - they may get wet helping you in shower or bath
  • list of important phone numbers - family, friends<-- Please e-mail or tell us if you want to be on this list he he he!!!
  • change for parking, snacks, phones anything you've forgotten to pack!
  • plastic bag for dirty clothes
Its insane some of the items that were on this list before i have totally chopped it up... Oh yes i am still waiting on choc to take me out to purchase another new bag to take to the hospital depending on how long i am planning on being there i know when the baby is born he will be going into the Special Care nursery this has to do with me being on insulin during the pregnancy and they have to monitor his BGL (Blood Glucose levels) as i have been cheating being on insulin..I really am thinking that i have rambled on a bit... Oh well choc is at work till 10pm tonight so i have the house to myself tonight i am going to cook dinner and watch a couple of movies..Or i might read some Twilight.. Until next time take care
