mmm, fat pants

I wore maternity pants today. They're fantastic. They're not the old, panelly kind, they have an adjustable waistband thing, so I tightened them up and wore a belt, and they were still about a zillion times more comfy than my 'normal' pants. I don't have a tonne of those kind of clothes though, so I may just be wearing the same pants every day. Nothing wrong with that.

I got a Doppler today (thanks girls!). I got another one last Monday, but unfortunately it didn't work properly, so I sent it back and the very nice lady sent me out a new one, with a note attached apologising for the inconvenience, and she also sent me extra gel to use with it, I assume because one of the times I was talking to her I expressed concern about using too much or not enough, and not having enough in the little tube to use the Doppler often. So I'll try that out tonight, and let you know how it goes. I very remarkably did *not* freak out when the first one didn't work, but after I tried to hear my own heart while pointing the wandy thing right AT my heart, and it was only moderately loud, I figured there was no way it was going to pick up tiny baby sounds.

That's all my news, but if this does work tonight, I'm going to go ahead and tell work, which will make it easier to ask for next Tuesday morning off for my appointment.
