For those who know about the finer points of baby-growing, the obstetrician here has said I have a low-lying placenta that has grown over the scar from my c-section with Emily. Consequently, I've been put on partial bedrest. This means I need to be in bed from 7pm until 10am. I can then get up for 3 hours (to do gentle sitting/reclining-type stuff) and then back to bed for another 3 hours before being back up for a second 3 hours. So I still have 6 hours out of bed, which is great. And it has worked out quite well because my 'out of bed' time coincides pretty much with about 2/3rds of Emily's waketimes. It has its frustrations, but so far I'm doing ok with it. We don't know what it means for travel dates back to Australia but we'll wait until our follow-up visit next Monday to find out where we go from here.
In Emmy news, she has started to put her toys away in the evening, saying 'Awaaaar' with each deposit in the toybox, in a kind of Australian-asian accent. Very cute. In Jon news - HE IS HOME! Jet-lagged just a bit. Being Mr Wonderful Family Man, especially so with me being so out of action. In Mrs Hien news: she's just marvellous. We couldn't do this without her.
